My question 1: "I am learning the subject of research methods; I have difficulty to understand the topic of research approach. Could you provide an example of research approach in the form of a diagram for illustration? Tks a lot."

The reply from chatgpt: "I can't create a diagram directly for you, but I can explain a common research approach and guide you on how to visualize it.

My question 2: "Tks for information. In this case, could you also give an example of a research approach: qualitative research? Tks."
