Research Design

Research design is the process of structuring techniques and strategies to solve problems or answer questions in research.
There are seven types of research designs:

Types of Research Designs

Action Research Design: focuses on socially and solution-driven outcomes applicable in the teaching-learning process.
Case Study Design: examines contemporary situations in real life, providing bases for applying concepts and theories.
Causal Design: measures the impact of a particular change on an existing situation or norm, where a causal effect occurs when a difference in a phenomenon leads to significant results.
Cross-Sectional Design: measures differences between or among diverse sets of participants, subjects, or phenomena using survey techniques to gather data.
Descriptive Design: answers questions like who, what, when, where, and how of a research problem, intending to describe "what exists" in a situation and its related variables.
Experimental Design: involves an experimental group and a control group, where the independent variable is applied to the experimental group while maintaining the control group.
