                  Preface  
          Research can be defined as, “A systematic inquiry to 
        describe,  explain,  predict,  and  control  the  observed 
        phenomenon.”  
          Research  is  very  useful  since  it  can  help  us  to 
        determine the development of knowledge in specific areas. 
        Moreover, it can help the teacher to solve certain problems. 
        Also,  by  conducting  research,  it  can  develop  students’ 
        knowledge. Therefore, research is important. 
          This book is not complete edition to cover all research 
        methodology materials. There is a lot of lack in this book. 
        Therefore, criticism and suggestion will be gladly accepted.
