    CHAPTER 1 Educational research is research conducted to investigate behavioral i stucents, teachers and other partcipants in schools and other educational nettweone: Qualitative research is one of the two major approaches to research methodology in ‘social sciences. Qualitative research involves an indepth understanding of human behaviour and the reasons that govem human behaviour. Qualitative research relies on reasons behind various ‘aspects of behaviour. Simply put, i investigates the why and how of decision making, as compared to what. where, and wtven of quantitative research. Quantitative research is the systematic scientific investigation of quantitative properties ‘and phenomena and their relationships. Quantitative research is widely used in both the natural journalism. The objective of quantitative research is to develop and employ mathematical models, ‘theories and hypotheses. pertaining to natural phenomena. The process of measurement is central to quantitative research because it provides the fundamental connection between ‘empirical observation and mathematical expression of quanttative relationships. Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research Quantitative research focuses on controling a small number of variables to determine ‘cause-effect relationships and/or the strength of such relationships. Qualitative research uses narrative, descriptive approaches to data collection to understand the way things are and what it means. Differences between qualitative and quantitative research 1. Qualitative research develops theories whereas quantitative tests theories as well as develops them 2. Qualitative research describes meaning or discovery whereas quantitative establishes relationship or causation 3. In qualitative research the researcher is explicitly a part of the data gathering process, ‘whereas in quantitative, the researcher is formally an independent entity ‘4. Qualitative research uses communication and observation whereas quantitative research uses instruments, 5. Qualitative research uses unstructured data collection whereas quantitative research uses structured data collection. Comparison of Quantitative and Qualitative Research Qualitative “To.mnderstand socal phenomens ‘Evobves dering the sid Basic and Applied Research “Basic Research — is aimed at obtaining empirical data to formulate theory or expand on “Applied Research — is aimed at solving practical problems, not necessarily seeking ‘broad generalizations, and not developing theory. For example, an elementary school teacher may study the effect of a new method of teaching fractions. ‘TYPES OF RESEARCH ACTION RESEARCH is systematic enquiry designed to yield practical results capable of improving a specific aspect of practice and made public to enable scrutiny and testing, APPLIED RESEARCH is research done for an express purpose to solve an identified problem. BIOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH or narrative approach to research is primarily qualitative, ‘and includes gathering! using data in the form of diaries, stories and life histories. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH. Describes certain characteristics of populations, and identifies and explores relationships between variables. DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH is a variant of applied research in that the research has a problem solving function and leads to further research on the basis of ts own findings EMANCIPATORY RESEARCH. Emancipatory research is conducted on and with people {from marginalized groupsicommunities. It is led by a researcher or research team who is either dan indigenous or exiemal insider, is interpreted within intellectual frameworks of that group; and is Conducted largely for the purpose of empowering members of that community and improving ‘services for them. It also engages members of the community as co-constructors or validators of EMPIRICAL RESEARCH. Research conducted ‘in the fiek, where data are gathered first hand. Case studies and surveys are examples of empirical research. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH is a style of research in which the researcher generates or ‘manipulates a causal factor and then seeks to observe or measure the effects, which follow. In a
