What are the difference between basic research and applied research ?

Please elaborate your

answer.

Applied research is research that seeks to answer a question in the real world and to solve a
problem. Basic research is research that fills in the knowledge we don't have; it tries to learn things that
aren't always directly applicable or useful immediately.

Basic research tends to focus more on "big picture" topics, such as increasing the scientific knowledge
base around a particular topic. Applied research tends to drill down more toward solving specific
problems that affect people in the here and now.

Applied research is a methodology used to solve a specific, practical issue affecting an individual or
group. This scientific method of study and research is used in business, medicine, and education in order
to find solutions that may improve health, solve scientific problems or develop new technology.
A common question that researchers get from students and the general public is "what is your research
good for?" To answer this question, it is best to establish the difference between basic (fundamental) and
applied research.
Basic research is curiosity driven. It is motivated by a desire to expand knowledge and involves the
acquisition of knowledge for knowledge's sake. It is intended to answer why, what or how questions and
increase understanding of fundamental principles. Basic research does not have immediate commercial
objectives and although it certainly could, it may not necessarily result in an invention or a solution to a
practical problem.
Applied research is designed to answer specific questions aimed at solving practical problems. New
knowledge acquired from applied research has specific commercial objectives in the form of products,
procedures or services.
Fundamental research answers the initial question of how things work. This fundamental knowledge is
then used by applied scientists and engineers, for example, to make improvements on existing products,
technologies and processes. Likewise, basic researchers take advantage of improved technologies to
answer new fundamental questions. It is an important cycle for advancement.

Examples:
 A few examples of applied research in psychology include: Investigating which treatment approach is
the most effective for reducing anxiety. Researching which strategies work best to motivate workers.
Studying different keyboard designs to determine which is the most efficient and ergonomic.

Examples of basic research in psychology might include:

 An investigation looking at whether stress levels influence how often students engage in
academic cheating.
 A study looking at how caffeine consumption impacts the brain.
 A study assessing whether men or women are more likely to suffer from depression.
For example, researchers might conduct basic research on how stress levels impact students
academically, emotionally, and socially

What is that problem of the statement is the most important step in research ?

A statement of the problem is used in research work as a claim that outlines the problem addressed by
a study. The statement of the problem briefly addresses the question: What is the problem that the
research will address?

The ultimate goal of a statement of the problem is to transform a generalized problem (something that

bothers you; a perceived lack) into a targeted, well-defined problem; one that can be resolved through

focused research and careful decision-making.

Writing a statement of the problem should help you clearly identify the purpose of the research project

you will propose. Often, the statement of the problem will also serve as the basis for the introductory

section of your final proposal, directing your reader’s attention quickly to the issues that your proposed

project will address and providing the reader with a concise statement of the proposed project itself.

To transform a generalized problem into a well-defined, brief, and a targeted statement to perform
research and use it in the decision-making process. The problem statement helps the researcher to
identify the purpose of the ongoing research.

Problem statement in the dissertation is the pillar of the introduction section through which the reader can
understand the research question and scope of the project.
If you do not define the problem statement properly then the end results will be unmanageable. The
statement of the problem is the foundation of your research proposal and the introduction chapter of the
dissertation.

1. It should address a gap in knowledge.

* In fact, spotting a knowledge gap and setting out to address it is generally what makes
research worthwhile. It enables to truly contribute to the existing body of knowledge as well as
sets up to produce findings that are more likely to get published.

2. It should be significant enough to contribute to the existing body of research

3. It should lead to further research

4. The problem should render itself to investigation through collection of data
5. It should be of interest to the researcher and suit his/her skills, time, and resources
6. The approach towards solving the problem should be ethical

What are the goals of the statement of problem. Explain your answer.

The first and most important step in any research is to identify and delineate the research problem: that is,

what the researcher wants to solve and what questions he/she wishes to answer. A research problem

may be defined as an area of concern, a gap in the existing knowledge, or a deviation in the norm or

standard that points to the need for further understanding and investigation. Although many problems turn

out to have several solutions (the means to close the gap or correct the deviation), difficulties arise where

such means are either not obvious or are not immediately available. This then necessitates some

research to reach a viable solution.

1. What is Research ?
Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data; documentation of
critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance with
suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines.

Research is a careful and detailed study into a specific problem, concern, or issue using the
scientific method. It's the adult form of the science fair projects back in elementary school, where
you try and learn something by performing an experiment. This is best accomplished by turning
the issue into a question, with the intent of the research to answer the question.
Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a
new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings. This
could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new and
creative outcomes.

 Educational research is important because of contributing knowledge development, practical

improvement, and policy information. Therefore, educators can use those research findings to
improve their competences and teaching and learning process
Rsearch in education represents an activity, directed towards the development of an organized
body of scientific knowledge about the events with which educators are concerned
Research in education has enabled substantial progress to be made in curriculum development
and reform, educating slow learners, understanding the psychological traits of the physically
challenged individuals and in adapting methods of instructions to the needs of individual learners.
Research in education has rendered an imperative contribution in acquiring information regarding
different cultures, norms and values. The individuals have made substantial contributions through
research to their knowledge and generation of awareness, understanding administrative
leadership and behaviour, group procedures,

 1. What are the methods in collecting data? Explain briefly.

DATA COLLECTION BY OBSERVATION

* An observation is a data collection method, by which you gather knowledge of the researched

phenomenon through making observations of the phenomena, as and when it occurs. You

should aim to focus your observations on human behaviour, the use of the phenomenon and

human interactions related to the phenomenon

DATA COLLLECTION BY INTERVIEW

* The interview method of collecting data involves presentation of oral-verbal stimuli and reply

in terms of oral-verbal responses. ... (At times the interviewee may also ask certain questions and

the interviewer responds to these, but usually the interviewer initiates the interview and collects

the information.)

DATA COLLECTION THROUGH VERBAL REPORTS

data was collected through verbal reports—a combination of introspective and ret- rospective

methods. These methods have been widely used by researchers, as they can give us more insight into
listeners' mental processes during listening.

DATA COLLETION THROUGH QUESTIONNAIRES

 The questionnaire is the main instrument for collecting data in survey research. Basically, it is a

set of standardized questions, often called items, which follow a fixed scheme in order

to collect individual data about one or more specific topics. Sometimes questionnaires are

confused with interviews.

DATA COLLECTION THROUGH TESTS

2. What are the three ways in presenting the data?

THE THREE WAYS IN PRESENTING THE DATA ARE THE FF:

TABULAR PRESENTATION

GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION

TEXTUAL PRESENTATION

3. Differentiate qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Quantitative research is “explaining phenomena by collecting numerical data that are analysed

using mathematically based methods (in particular statistics).”* Qualitative research seeks to

answer questions about why and how people behave in the way that they d In

a nutshell, qualitative research generates “textual data” (non-numerical). Quantitative

research, on the contrary, produces “numerical data” or information that can be converted into

numbers.o. It provides in-depth information about human behaviour.

4. Why is it important to interpret the data?

 The purpose of collection and interpretation is to acquire useful and usable information and to

make the most informed decisions possible. From businesses, to newlyweds researching their

first home, data collection and interpretation provides limitless benefits for a wide range helps

improve processes and identify problems. It is difficult to grow and make dependable

improvements without, at the very least, minimal data collection and interpretation.  of institutions

and individuals.

3) cite some tips in order to write an effective research paper.

ORGANIZATION IS KEY

Follow these substantial steps to be organized in writing a research paper:

 Select your topic carefully

 Choose sources that will be helpful and make sure they are reliable
 Index cards should be used to jot down helpful notes that you may need throughout the process or
writing
 Your notes should be organized based on the topic it is under
 Have an outline that is well thought of
 Write a first draft so you have a skeleton of what your research paper
 Go through your first draft, read it thoroughly and re-write
 Edit when it is needed
DO THE PROPER RESEARCH

If you want to find helpful and reliable sources of information, the library is literally the best place to

look around. There are numerous books, published articles, journals and etc. that you can choose

from about your chosen topic. Choose a comfortable place in your local library where you are away

from distractions and you can focus on the work that needs to be done. Try using the card catalog

and computers available to make your search easier.

CHOOSE YOUR RESEARCH TOPIC CAREFULLY

If you have the freedom to choose what your research paper could be about, take advantage of the

situation and choose a topic that you are interested in or a topic you are curious about. By doing this,
it gives you motivation to do necessary research for it. Be specific when selecting a topic because

most writers make a mistake in choosing a topic that is too general.

JOT DOWN THE PROPER NOTES

Like our first tip, be organized when it comes to writing down your notes. Take note of the

information that will only be of help to you. Try color coding your notes by topic and you can use

highlighters for marking the beneficial details so you can find that specific topic very easily. If you’re

allowed, you can also photocopy an article or page from a book that you’ll need. This is best if there

is too much to note down on paper. It will definitely save you time. Every time you note something

down, make sure to write down the bibliographical information such as the author, the book title,

page numbers used, volume number and publisher’s name and vital dates.

BRAINSTORM AN OUTLINE

After in-depth research, you can proceed to writing an outline. With all the notes and vital information

that you gathered, start brainstorming where those certain topics fit in. To “brainstorm an outline”

doesn’t mean that they have to be structured in sentences. Note down what part would be the

beginning, middle and end. This is the part where your research paper starts to take shape.

WRITE A FIRST DRAFT

After your outline, you can start on your first draft. Take your outline and get the ideas jotted down

and form sentences and paragraphs with them. This is the part where you put more detail and life

into the paper so people can read it and actually understand it. You can do more needed research if

you feel like you’re lacking information. This is only the first draft, so you can still make changes as

you go on.

PROOFREAD AND WRITE YOUR FINAL PAPER

 Once you reread your first draft over and over and make the necessary changes you feel you should

make, it is time to write your final draft. Make sure that all the vital information is included and your

paragraphs and sentences make sense and has a steady and natural flow all throughout. Check for

typographical and grammatical errors. Spelling is also another thing you want to check for. Make

sure that every source that you used is in the bibliography page because this is vital to your research

paper.

When you’re finished with your final paper, do the final adjustments as needed. Read it as many

times as you want and even ask a friend or professor to go through it and give out their opinion.
