Dr. Zheer Ahmed initiated the lecture that Empirical research refers to a type of research methodology that relies on observation and experimentation as the primary means of data collection and analysis. Epistemologically, knowledge acquisition can be achieved through both direct and indirect observation and experience. Empirical evidence, which refers to firsthand observations or experiences, can be subjected to quantitative or qualitative analysis. By quantifying or interpreting qualitative evidence, a researcher can address empirical inquiries that must be unambiguously defined and resolvable based on the data gathered. The design of the research is subject to variation depending on the particular field of study and the specific inquiry under investigation.
