ACCOUNTING RESEARCH METHODS
Researchers carry out research and the rest of the world benefits from their findings. This
proves that, the lives we enjoy now are all products of research. All things we do which we think
we can’t are also because of research. It is studies which seeks to answers every question to the
problem and provides reasonable solutions to enrich our lives with the knowledge that will
makes us more productive and contribute to the development of ourselves, other people and the
society we live in.
As a college student, research wasn’t new to me at all. It has been part of my academic
life as I start doing research when I was in high school. It is very satisfying that I am able to
finish a research paper before. Despite of stressful days and sleepless nights, it has been paid off.
As a researcher, I’ve realized through my experience that research I not hard as long as we are in
line with the process. The process is given, the resources are provided, and all we need to do is to
exert an effort, to give our time and attention in order to come up with a desired result.
What is expected for me as a researcher this school year is that I will use my past
research experience to gain new skills and further explore my strength and pursue my interest in
my chosen field. In conducting research, the very first step it to set our goals and objectives.
There are several considerations that we need to address before conducting a research. It is not
just a simple essay of reflection where we can just give our opinion freely, but is more
complicated and have a lot of process and methods to do. As a researcher, it is expected for us
that our research is beneficial. Our research study must benefit not just ourselves for compliance
but will be significant to our field of interest and the future researchers.
We need to set in our mind that research is an open door or an avenue where we can build
useful ideas, provide insights, answers questions and provide solutions to a problem. Therefore,
as a researcher, I will consider this as a challenge, set my goals and ready myself for the process.
There are times that we do experiments where don’t go as well as planned or give us an
unexpected result, but in this case it is far different because it will give us the opportunity to
question the process, make changes and to think beyond.
