👉 Half research, also known as split-phase or sequential design, is a research methodology where data collection and analysis occur in two distinct phases. In the first phase, researchers gather and collect data, often using exploratory or descriptive methods to understand the phenomenon under study. The second phase then involves analyzing this initial data to identify patterns, trends, or hypotheses, which are subsequently tested in the second phase using more rigorous, often experimental methods. This approach allows for a structured progression from broad understanding to targeted investigation, enhancing the validity and reliability of research findings by systematically refining hypotheses and conclusions.
