 Lesson

1 Types of Research

Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information in

order to increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are
concerned or interested.

It is also defined as a logical and systematic search for new and useful
information on a particular topic. Research is important both in scientific and
nonscientific fields. In our life, new problems, events, phenomena and processes
occur every day.
Research can be one of the most interesting features of any degree course as
it offers you a measure of control and autonomy over what you learn. It gives you an
opportunity to confirm, clarify, pursue or even discover new aspects of a subject or
topic you are interested in.

In the previous lesson, we learn about experimental design. It is a way to

carefully plan experiments in advance so that your results are both objective
and valid. Experimental research designs are often considered to be the standard in
research designs and suitable for research whose goal is to examine cause-effect
relationships.
It is very important to learn and understand the types of research. In this
module, you will learn the classification of research from three different perspectives.
You will also understand what type of research applicable in your own investigatory
projects.

 What is It

“Research is a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts
in any branch of knowledge. Research is a systematized effort to gain new
knowledge.”
-Redman and Mary

More than a set of skills, research is a way of thinking, examining critically

the various aspects of day-to-day work, understanding and formulating guiding
principles that govern a particular procedure and developing and testing new
theories. Research is one of the ways of collecting accurate, sound and reliable
information about the effectiveness of interventions, thereby providing evidence of its
effectiveness.

According to Kumar (2011), types of research can be classified from three different
perspective:
• Application of the findings of the research study
• Objectives of the study
• Mode of enquiry used in conducting the study

TYPES OF RESEARCH

From the viewpoint of

APPLICATION OBJECTIVES ENQUIRY MODE

7
 The classification of a study on the basis of these three perspectives is not
mutually exclusive; that is, a research study classified from the viewpoint of
application can be classified from the perspectives of objectives and enquiry mode.
For example, a research project may be classified as pure or applied research (from
the perspective of application), as descriptive, correlational, explanatory or
exploratory (from the perspective of objectives) and as qualitative or quantitative
(from the perspective of the enquiry mode employed).

TYPES OF RESEARCH: APPLICATION PERSPECTIVE

a. Pure Research - This kind of research is academic in nature and is

undertaken in order to gain knowledge about phenomena that may or may
not have applications in the near future, and to develop new techniques and
procedures that form the body of research methodology.

Pure research involves developing and testing theories and hypotheses that
are intellectually challenging to the researcher but may or may not have practical
application at the present time or in the future. Thus, such work often involves the
testing of hypotheses containing very abstract and specialized concepts.

Examples of pure research include:

❖ developing a sampling technique that can be applied to a particular situation
❖ developing a methodology to assess the validity of a procedure
❖ developing an instrument, say, to measure the stress level in people
❖ and finding the best way of measuring people’s attitudes

The knowledge produced through pure research is sought in order to add to the
existing body of knowledge of research methods.

b. Applied Research - Most of the research in social sciences is applied. In other

words, the research techniques, procedures and methods that form the body
of research methodology are applied.

Refers to scientific study and research that seeks to solve practical problems.
Applied research is used to find solutions to everyday problems, cure illness and
develop innovative technologies, rather than to acquire knowledge.

In an applied research one solves certain problems employing well known and
accepted theories and principles. Most of the experimental research, case studies
and inter-disciplinary research are essentially applied research. Applied research is
helpful for basic research. Such a research is of practical use to current activity.

For example, applied research may investigate ways to:

❖ Improves agricultural crop productions
❖ Treat or cure a specific disease
❖ Improve the energy efficiency at homes, offices or mode of
transportations

TYPES OF RESEARCH: OBJECTIVES PERSPECTIVE

a. Descriptive Research – A study classified as a descriptive study attempts to
describe systematically a situation, problem, phenomenon, service or
program, or provide information about the living conditions of a community
or describe attitudes towards an issue.

8
 Refers to research that provides an accurate portrayal of characteristics of a
particular individual, situation or group. It is also known as statistical research.

These studies focus on discovering new meaning, describing what exist,

determining the frequency with which something occur and categorizing information.

Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation
as it exists at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon.

Descriptive research is designed for the investigator to gather information

about present existing conditions and involves collection of data in order to test the
hypothesis or to answer questions concerning the current status of the subject of the
study.

For example, descriptive research may investigate the following problems:

❖ What is the best way to provide access to computer equipment in

schools?
❖ Do students hold favorable attitudes toward online class?
❖ What have been the reactions of school administrators to technological
innovations in teaching?

TYPES OF DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

.

Descriptive
Research

Case
Study Observa
tional

Survey

• The case-study research involves an in-depth study of an individual or group

of individuals.
• In a survey research, participants answer questions administered through
questionnaire or interviews. In order for the survey to be both valid and
reliable, it is important that the questions are constructed properly.
• The observational method can be naturalistic observation or laboratory
observation.

9
 b. Correlational Research the main emphasis in a correlational study is to
discover or establish the existence of a relationship/association/interdependence
between two or more variables or more aspects of a situation. In other words, it
determines whether and to what degree a relationship exists between two or more
variables (quantifiable but nothing is manipulated). The degree of the relationship is
expressed as a coefficient of correlation.

For example, correlational research may study about:

❖ What is the impact of an advertising campaign on the sale of a product?
❖ What is the relationship between technology and unemployment?
❖ What is the relationship between stressful living and the incidence of heart
attack?
❖ What is the relationship between fertility and mortality?
❖ What is the effect of a health service on the control of a disease or the home
environment on educational achievement?

These studies examine whether there is a relationship between two or more aspects
of a situation or phenomenon and, therefore, are called correlational studies.
c. Explanatory Research attempts to clarify why and how there is a
relationship between two aspects of a situation or phenomenon. This type of
research elaborates or explains not just the reason behind the relationship of
two factors, but also the way by which such relationship exist.

This type of research attempts to explain, for example:

❖ Why stressful living results in heart attacks?
❖ Why a decline in mortality is followed by a fertility decline?
❖ How the home environment affects children’s level of academic
achievement?

d. Exploratory Research is a study undertaken with the objective either to

explore an area where little is known or to investigate the possibilities of
undertaking a particular research study. An exploratory research’s purpose is
to end out how reasonable or possible is to conduct a research study on a
certain topic. Here, you will discover ideas on topics that could trigger your
interest in conducting research studies.

When a study is carried out to determine its feasibility it is also called

a feasibility study or a pilot study. It is usually carried out when a researcher
wants to explore areas about which s/he has little or no knowledge

For example, consider a scenario where a juice bar owner feels that
increasing the variety of juices will enable increase in customers however he
is not sure and needs more information. The owner intends to carry out an
exploratory research to find out and hence decides to do an exploratory
research to find out if expanding their juices selection will enable him to get
more customers of if there is a better idea.
e. Action Research – This type of research studies an ongoing practice of a
school, organization, community or institutions for the purpose of obtaining
results that will bring improvements in the system.

10
 TYPES OF RESEARCH: MODE OF ENQUIRY PERSPECTIVE
From the point of view of the mode of enquiry perspective, there are two
types of research:
a. Quantitative Research (structured research): The main objectives
of this research is to quantify the variation and diversity in a
phenomenon, situation or attitude. It is employed for measuring the
quantity or amount of a particular phenomena by the use of
statistical analysis. The objective of quantitative research is to
develop and employ mathematical models, theories or hypothesis
pertaining to phenomena.

For example:

A Quantitative Study of the Impact of Social Media Reviews on

Brand Perception

A Quantitative Study of Teacher Perceptions of Professional

Learning Communities' Context, Process, and Content

How may the sugarcane bagasse be effective on being bio-adsorbent

agent on treating water contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons?

b. Qualitative research (unstructured): A qualitative study describes

the variation and diversity in a phenomenon, situation or attitude
with a flexible approach so as to identify as much variation and
diversity as possible. It is a non-quantitative type of analysis which
is aimed at finding out the quality of a particular phenomenon.
Qualitative research is much more subjective and uses very
different methods of collecting information, mainly individual, in-
depth interviews and focus groups.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE

QUALITATIVE QUANTITATIVE

Inductive Deductive

Subjective Objective

Word form Focus on numbers

Case studies, content analysis Statistical analysis

Probing Counting

Qualitative research can be further classified in the following type.

I. Phenomenology - a form of research in which the researcher attempts to
understand how one or more individuals experience a phenomenon.
Example: We might interview 20 victims of cyber bullying.

11
II. Ethnography - this type of research focuses on describing the culture of
a group of people. A culture is the shared attributes, values, norms,
practices, language, and material things of a group of people.
Example: The researcher might decide to go and live with the tribe in
Andaman island and study the culture and the educational practices.
III. Case study - is a form of qualitative research that is focused on providing
a detailed account of one or more cases.
Example: We may study a classroom that was given a new curriculum for
technology use.
IV. Historical research - it allows one to discuss past and present events in
the context of the present condition and allows one to reflect and provide
possible answers to current issues and problems.
Example: The lending pattern of business in the 19th century.
