Study Notes
- Research involves studying a subject in detail to discover new information or gain a new understanding.
Types of Research
- Basic Research
- Correlational Research
- Descriptive Research
- Ethnographic Research
- Experimental Research
- Historical Research
- Case Study Research
- Action Research
- Recognizing the correct kind of research paper is important in determining the validity and efficacy of the study.
- It is important to know the approach to use in a study in research design.
- The research paper should address: the problem, the type of data needed, the data collection methods, and the type of data analysis.
Basic / Pure / Fundamental Research
- This type is focused on scientific questions.
- The focus is to expand man's understanding of the world.
- It has no trade value because it does not aim to invent something.
Correlational Research
- This does not determine cause and effect of the topic.
- The focus is a statistical link between two or more variables.
- Meant to establish connection among variables not closely related
Descriptive Research
- This highlights characteristics of a specific individual, condition, or unit.
- It uses new categories of ideas, descriptions of concepts that exist, or occurrence of events and its impact on people.
- These are done through a variety of statistical research.
Ethnographic Research
- This is an examination of a specific culture through comprehensive study of the members of the group.
- The data are participant observations, interviews, and questionnaire responses.
- The goal is to understand and interpret the experiences of the cultural group in their natural setting.
Experimental Research
- This is used for coming up with forecasts/reports, objective and systematic.
- It controls phenomena and examines connections among variables.
- It is a controlled research.
Historical Research
- Analysis of events from the distant or recent past.
- Highlights historical patterns.
- Understand past solutions and their effects on the present or future.
Case Study
- An exhaustive study of a specific problem (unfamiliar issues/phenomena).
- Confines issues into manageable units.
- It is useful in assessing theories and their application to real world.
- Includes contextual analysis of a number of specific incidents.
Action Research
- Starts as an investigative activity wherein issues are understood.
- Spearheaded by a group or individual.
- After determining issues, interventions are introduced.
