classification research

• Pure Research- deals with concepts ,principles, or abstract things and aims to increase your knowledge about something
• Applied Research- application of research to societal problems or issues ,finding ways to make positive changes in society
• Descriptive Research– aims at defining or giving a verbal portrayal or picture of a person, thing, event, group,situation, etc.
• Correlational Research– shows relationships or connectedness of two factors, circumstances, or agents called variables that affect the research
• Explanatory Research– elaborates not just the reasons behind the relationship of two factors,but also the ways by relationship exists
• Exploratory Research– finds out how reasonable or possible it is to conduct a research study on a certain topic
• Action Research–studies an on going practice of an institution for the purpose of obtaining results that will bring improvements in the system
• Quantitative Research – emphasizes precise measurement and often times requires statistical analysis of data or the testing of hypotheses based on a sample of observations.
• Qualitative Research–emphasizes verbal descriptions and explanations of human behavior and practices
• firsthand -coming directly from the original source
• sources - a person, publication,or object that gives information
• Primary data-are obtained through direct observation or contact with people ,objects, artifacts, paintings ,etc.
• Secondary data- this type of data had already been written about or reported on and are available for reading purposes
• Scientific Approach - discover and measure information as well as observe and control variables in an impersonal manner
• Naturalistic Approach-directs you to deal with qualitative data that speak how people behave towards their surroundings
• Triangulation Approach-gives you the opportunity toview every angle of theresearch from differentperspectives (Badke 2012;Silverman 2013)
• Experimental Method - used to determine the effectiveness of a treatment or an intervention or the “cause andeffect” relationship of certainphenomena under controlled condition
• Survey Method-obtains data todetermine specificcharacteristics of agroup.
• Historical method-used to determine the growth and development of a group, organization or institution.
• Content Analysis-used when the intention ofthe researcher is to ascertainthe quality of message orinformation found in adocument or in mass media
• Descriptive research - involves collecting data to provide an accurate portrayal or detailed account of a phenomenon without influencing it in any way. It aims to observe, document, and create a thorough profile of the subject under study, often exploring patterns, behaviors, or attributes.
• National Census - An official survey that records information about demographics, employment, and housing.
• Market Surveys -Businesses gather data about their consumers' preferences to understand market trends and guide product development.
• NUMERICAL DATA ARE USED FOR THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH.
• QUANTITATIVE IS TOSCIENTIFIC APPROACH;QUALITATIVE IS TONATURALISTIC APPROACH
• PLAYGROUNDS, CLASSROOMS,AND WORKPLACES MAKE THE NATURALISTIC APPROACH TO YIELDQUALITATIVE DATA.
• THE TRIANGULATION APPROACH USES A MIXTURE OFQUANTI-QUALI DATA TOENSURE ACCURACY OF RESULTS.
• THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACHUSES NUMERICAL DATA FOR STATISTICALANALYSIS.
