- Research is studying a subject in detail to discover new information or to gain a new understanding.
Research Design
- Knowing the approach to use in a study is important in research.
- The overall approach should put together a study in a coherent and logical manner.
- Ensure the research paper addresses the problem and determines the type of data needed.
- Also determine the means of collecting data and type of analysis for the data.
Basic / Pure / Fundamental Research
- It is focused on scientific questions.
- It expands understanding of the world.
- This research does not have trade value, meaning it is not meant to invent something.
Correlational Research
- It does not determine the cause and effect of the topic.
- It focuses on the statistical link between two or more variables.
- It establishes connection among variables not closely related.
Descriptive Research
- It highlights the characteristics of a specific individual, condition, or unit.
- New categories, descriptions of existing concepts, or the occurrence of events and its impact are used.
- This type of research is done through a variety of statistical analyses.
Ethnographic Research
- Examination of a specific culture is done through a comprehensive study of its members.
- Data includes participant observations, interviews, and questionnaire responses.
- The goal is to understand and interpret the experiences of the cultural group in its natural setting.
Experimental Research
- It is used to come up with forecasts/reports.
- It is objective and systematic.
- Phenomena are controlled and connections among variables are examined.
- It is a controlled research, so it is almost artificial.
Historical Research
- It analyzes events from the distant or recent past.
- It highlights historical patterns.
- Understanding past solutions and their effects on the present or future is key.
Case Study Research
- It is an exhaustive study of a specific problem that is unfamiliar.
- Issues are confined into manageable components.
- It is useful in assessing theories and their application to the real world.
- It includes contextual analysis of a number of specific incidents.
Action Research
- It starts as an investigative activity, where issues are understood.
- It is spearheaded by a group or individual.
- Following the determination of issues, interventions are introduced.
