Natural and Human Sciences
- Natural Science predicts natural phenomena through empirical observation and experimentation.
- Humanities explores human reactions and interpretations of events and experiences.
Research Methodologies
- Cross-referencing strengthens research validity by integrating multiple sources.
- Open-ended questions gather qualitative data through interviews, essays, and evaluations.
- Closed-ended questions provide quantitative data using checklists and Likert scales.
- Coding analyzes data from open-ended questions, identifying patterns and themes.
- Tabulation organizes closed-ended question data quantitatively for easier analysis.
Types of Research
- Descriptive Research answers basic questions related to a phenomenon or population.
- Historical Research utilizes evidence and records from the past to understand current contexts.
- Experimental Research involves manipulating independent and dependent variables under controlled conditions.
- Exploratory Research addresses topics with limited prior studies to identify new insights.
- Longitudinal Research examines the same sample over time for changes and trends.
- Sequential Research is conducted in series at various intervals to capture time-dependent factors.
- Case Studies focus on in-depth analysis of specific research problems or cases.
- Meta Analysis consolidates and summarizes results from multiple studies for broader conclusions.
- Qualitative Research seeks to make sense of experiences and meanings.
- Quantitative Research deals with numeric data and statistical analysis.
- Mixed Methods combine qualitative and quantitative approaches for richer insights.
- Action Research is participatory, allowing individuals to engage in iterative cycles of reflection and action.
