Study Notes
Types of Reasoning
- Inductive reasoning: involves reasoning from specific observations to a general conclusion
- Example: observing that multiple math teachers are skinny and concluding that all math teachers are skinny
- Deductive reasoning: involves reasoning from general conclusions to specific conclusions
- Example: knowing that elephants have cells and that all cells have DNA, and concluding that elephants have DNA
Types of Research
-
Basic Research
- Also known as pure, theoretical, or fundamental research
- Aims to extend knowledge by discovering new theories or refining/improving existing ones
-
Applied Research
- Also known as empirical research
- Aims to improve the application of theories by discovering new uses and limitations
-
Exploratory Research or Formulative Study
- Also known as a pilot study
- Conducted on little-known phenomena where existing knowledge is scarce
- Aims to explore the possibility of doing research on a certain subject
-
Descriptive Research
- Designed to discover new meaning and provide new knowledge on a phenomenon of interest
- Focuses on areas where little is known
