TYPES OF RESEARCH

 When carrying out research, our purposes are different. Therefore
research types will vary according to our purposes. The major research
types will fall under application, objectives, inquiry mode, and sometimes
we may use mixed method research.

 APPLIED RESEARCH

 Applied research is "hands-on", which means that the
researcher is actually working with the topic/subjects while
conducting the research. Generally, applied research focuses on
"practical problems" such as climate change in order to come
up with solutions to better or improve an existing condition.

 BASIC RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Basic research is often considered researching for the sake of
increasing knowledge as opposed to applied where the research
truly is intended to solve a problem. Basic Research is often
called "pure" research and is considered the foundation for
applied research

 DESCRIPTIVE
RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Descriptive research is also called statistical research. The main
goal of this type of research is to describe the data and
characteristics about what is being studied. The idea behind this
type of research is to study frequencies, averages, and other
statistical calculations. Although this research is highly
accurate, it does not gather the causes behind a situation.

 CORRELATION
RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Correlation research measures the relationship between two or
more variables or gives an indication of how one variable may
predict another.

 EXPLORATORY
RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Exploratory research is a type of research conducted because a
problem has not been clearly defined. Exploratory research
helps determine the best research design, data collection
methods, and selection of subjects. Given that it is fundamental
in nature, exploratory research often concludes that a perceived
problem does not actually exist.

 EXPLANATORY
RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Explanatory research explores "why," and attempts to explain
as the purposes of explanatory research. It builds on exploratory
and descriptive research and further identifies the reasons for
something that occurs. It looks for causes and reasons.

 QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Qualitative research is research undertaken to gain insights
concerning attitudes, beliefs, motivations and behaviour of
individuals, to explore a social or human problem. Qualitative
research methods include focus groups, in-depth interviews,
observation research, and case studies. You can use qualitative
research to study past events or current events
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 When you use it for past events, it is specifically called
historical research. The salient features of qualitative research
are:
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Conducted to have an insight and better understanding of not
only about the current situation is but also why it is so.More
open and responsive to the research participants.Uses a variety
of methods and data collection strategies. Offers opportunities
for descriptive and exploratory studies.

 QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Quantitative research is research concerned with the
measurement of attitudes, behaviour and perceptions. It
includes interviewing methods such as telephone, intercept, and
door-to-door interviews, as well as self-completion methods
such as mail outs and online surveys
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Quantitative research: Means the data is analyzed in terms of
numbers. Involves the collection of numerical data. Predicts
and explains data in the form of statistical analysis. Uses the
numerical method to analysis and interpret the results. Finds out
the relationship among quantifiable variables and the results are
inferred.
