Flashcards
Basic/Fundamental Research
Basic/Fundamental Research
A type of research that aims to understand fundamental principles and build knowledge in a specific field. Results may not have immediate practical applications but serve as a foundation for further research.
Applied Research
Applied Research
Research designed to solve real-world problems and produce practical solutions. Findings can be used to create new programs, products, or procedures, or to improve existing ones.
Experimental Research
Experimental Research
A research approach that involves manipulating variables and observing the effects on different groups of participants. Often used to identify cause-and-effect relationships.

Study Notes
Research Employing Hypothesis
- Research uses hypotheses to guide investigations.
- In experimental studies, hypotheses are explicitly stated.
- In descriptive studies, specific questions act as hypotheses.
- Hypotheses are tested, not proven.
Quantitative/Statistical Methods
- Research uses quantitative methods to transform data.
- Data is converted into numerical measurements.
- Data is statistically analyzed to determine significance.
Nature of Research
- Research is meticulous, not rushed.
- Careless research leads to inaccurate conclusions.
- Reliable research is based on accurate observations and descriptions.
- Findings are based on evidence.
Courage in Research
- Research can be challenging and risky.
- Researchers may face danger
- Researchers might face disapproval from peers.
Basic/Fundamental Research
- Basic research provides foundational knowledge.
- Example: research to understand the factors that affect compliance to diet plans for diabetic patients.
Applied Research
- Applied research has immediate practical use.
- Example: research to develop programs, products, or procedures to address problems.
Experimental Research
- This type of research involves manipulating variables.
- Subjects are divided into treatment groups.
- Studies cause-and-effect relationships.
Research Problem Sources
- Research questions can arise from various sources.
- Examples include research problems, topics, phenomena, or situations.
