Analytical Research

Analytical research is a specific type of

research that involves critical thinking skills
and the evaluation of facts and information
relative to the research being conducted.

Analytical Research
Clearly defined topic.
Research question rather than thesis.
Goal: Explore and evaluate topic.
Must conduct thorough research and explore
various sources to try to answer question.

Experimental Research
It is a collection of research designs which use
manipulation and controlled testing to understand
causal processes. Generally, one or more
variables are manipulated to determine their effect
on a dependent variable.

Experimental Research
There is time priority in a causal relationship
(cause precedes effect)
There is consistency in a causal relationship (a
cause will always lead to the same effect)
The magnitude of the correlation is great.

Experimetal Method
is a systematic and scientific approach to research
in which the researcher manipulates one or more
variables, and controls and measures any change
in other variables.
