types of research

pure/basic research applied research exploratory research descriptive research explanatory research

a type of research that is purely direct application but increasing the nature of understanding about the problem it develops the scientific theories to be more understandable to the readers

pure/basic research

a type of research that needs an answer to a specific question it provides solutions and validation to apply to the real setting

applied research

purposes of research

descriptive research exploratory research hypothesis testing

2types of hypothesis testing

analytical hypothesis testing predictive hypothesis testing

is the first research to be conducted around us problem that has not yet been clearly defined it aims to gain a better understanding of the exact nature of the problem and not to provide a conclusive answer to the problem itself enables us to conduct more in depth research later on

exploratory research

two types of exploratory research

primary secondary

expands knowledge of the research problem or phenomena by describing it according to its characteristics and population focuses on the how and what but not on the why

descriptive research

also referred to a causal research it is conducted to determine how variables interact deals with the why of research questions and is therefore often based on experiments

explanatory research

characteristics of research the eight core characteristics that all research projects should have

empirical logical cyclic controlled objective hypothesis based analytical statistical treatment

based on proven scientific methods derived from real life observations and experiments

empirical

follow sequential procedures based on valid principles

logical

research begins with a question and ends with the question

cyclic

vigorous measures put into place to keep all variables constant except those under investigation

controlled

sound judgemental is used by the researcher to ensure that the research findings are valid

objective

the research design generates data that sufficiently meets the research objectives and can be proved or disprove the hypothesis it makes the research study repeatable and gives credibility to the results

hypothesis based

data is generated recorded and analysed on using proven techniques to ensure high accuracy and repeatability while minimizing potential errors and anomalies

analytical

is used to transform the available data into something more meaningful from which knowledge can be gained

statistical treatment

comes from the root word vary which means differ or to change our qualities properties or characteristics of people things events or situations under the study that vary from one person to another

variables

basic types of variables two basic types of variables main classifications

qualitative and quantitative variables

other types of variables

independent or explanatory dependent or response continuous or abstract discrete or scale dichotomous polychotomous extraneous

considered to be the cause

independent variables or explanatory variables

considered to be the effect

dependent variables or response variable

quantitative measures and statistically tested

continuous or abstract variables

half a minimum size on unit of measurement which cannot be subdivided of fractionated such as the number of children per family and number of students per class

discrete variables or scale variable

these are factors with only two values or categories used in comparative studies

dichotomous variables

these are factors with more than two values or any categories

polychotomous variable

these are error producing variables other than the independent variables that may have an impact to the response of your dependent variable from the word itself extra they might occur on your study unexpectedly an uncontrolled variable that greatly influences the result of the study aka interviewing modifying and confounding variables

extraneous variables

2 types of hypothesis

null hypothesis alternative hypothesis

data that someone collects personally

primary

analysis and synthesis of primary research that was compiled at the previous date

secondary
