Kalimat dari sebuah wawancara: I’m interested in the fact that you’ve done a lot of study in your life.
Tidak terlalu jelas jenis studi apa yang dilakukannya, apakah beberapa kali kuliah, atau ikut kursus, yang jelas ada banyak.

More examples .... 1...scientists have done a lot of study in previous years to evaluate the probability of biofertilizer replacement...
2...The travel agencies have already done a lot of study in advance, so the programs are all very close to their interests...
3...I have done a lot of study in the first year or so of ownership and with my truck, I found that the cost per mile is lowest on premium gas.

Per KudoZ rule, I shall not question nor debate your interpretation. The above examples just to argue that a lot of study in the sense of research is not necessarily followed by on. What is studied can be found before or after it, which is only known by you.

And for sure, there are two answers already that supports belajar to choose from.
David Andersen (asker) Dec 13, 2012:
The examples you give are interesting. Note that they all continue with a prepositional phrase "on X". I think that's what tips the balance in favour of the research interpretation. Whereas in the context of the interview, where no further context is given, just "a lot of study" the primary meaning of study (ie. learning) will be the most salient.
ErichEko ⟹⭐ Dec 12, 2012:
Belajar or Meneliti? Hi David, I put my comments here, so we can discuss more freely.

Google shows many lines like this:

A...I know the Ministry of Transport has done a lot of study on this issue.
B...Foreign academicians have done a lot of study work on the function of capital market ....
C...Dr. Watson, you've done a lot of study on optics...

The three parties of interest here (Ministry, Academician, a Doctor) clearly do research - they are capable and smart enough to be assumed otherwise (i.e. attending courses/schools to learn).

At a glance, most "done a lot of study" phrases with a second or third person ("you, they, doctor") tend to mean researching, whilst those with a first person ("I") tend to mean learning/taking course.

Yet, you have the full context, and this context may point to the second meaning - belajar instead of meneliti.

melakukan banyak penelitian


Yang dimaksud dengan study di sini adalah (kamus Oxford):

study (noun) a detailed investigation and analysis of a subject or situation.

Kata ini juga diserap menjadi studi dalam bahasa Indonesia (KBBI):

studi n penelitian ilmiah; kajian; telaahan.

Si pewawancara tertarik dengan banyak/seringnya si terwawancara melakukan penelitian; hal itu mungkin menjadi sumber keahlian atau kepandaiannya.
Note from asker:
Thanks for this suggestion, Erich, but I don't think it means that. If that was the meaning, one would use the word "research" or perhaps "studied a lot of things". Its true that a research paper is called "a study" but that's a different context. I'm pretty sure this is referring to formal study in an educational institution.

neutral ahmad_rofiie : Imo, bila yakin study disini merujuk formal study, usul mas Ikram "mengenyam banyak pendidikan" tepat. Orang sini tidak akan berkata 'melakukan banyak belajar' melainkan 'telah banyak belajar' (usul mbak Ria). Tapi belajar=learning, jadi geser arti.

melakukan banyak kajian

IMHO, 'study' di sini maksudnya adalah kajian (penelaahan, pelajaran yang mendalam).

melakukan banyak belajar

Disarankan bahwa, "done a lot of" ini barangkali sudah jelas maksudnya". Tetapi study di sini terlihat menimbulkan konotasi. Karena itu dalam konteks ini diusulkan study = belajar, artinya orang yang diwawancarai mungkin telah melakukan banyak belajar dalam kehidupannya. Misalnya di bidang bercocok tanam, "Dari belum bisa memilih varieatas padi unggul", namun setelah menanam berbagai varietas padi, "Maka bisa memilih varietas yang unggul", dan akhirnya bisa berhasil menanam padi dengan hasil yang jauh lebih besar dibanding sebelumnya.
