Read the text below about the categories of research. Make a graphic organizer that shows short
descriptions of each category and how are they connected.

a. Basic/ Pure Research


It involves developing and testing of hypothesis and theories that are challenging to the
researcher and may be practical at the present or in the future. The knowledge produced
through pure research is sought in order to add to the existing body of research methods.
b. Applied Research
It is done to solve specific practical questions or problems. They may be explanatory or
exploratory but usually it is and descriptive and it is usually done on the basis of basic (pure)
research.
c. Qualitative Research
It focuses on words and meanings. Qualitative research is the process of collecting,
analysing, and interpreting non-numerical data, such as language. Qualitative research can
be used to understand how an individual sees and gives meaning to their environment.
d. Quantitative Research
It focuses on numbers and statistics. Quantitative research is referred to as the process of
collecting as well as analysing numerical data. It is generally used to find patterns, averages,
predictions, as well as cause-effect relationships between the variables being studied.
e. Descriptive Research
Descriptive research gathers data without controlling any variables. It describes the
characteristics of the variables under study.
f. Correlational Research
Correlational research is a type of non- experimental research that facilitates prediction and
explanation of the relationship among variables.
g. Experimental Research
Experimental research manipulates and controls variables to determine cause and effect

h. Ethnography
Ethnographic research is a qualitative method where researchers observe and/or interact
with a study's participants in their real-life environment. Ethnography was popularised by
anthropology, but is used across a wide range of social sciences.

i. Case study
A case study involves an up-close, in-depth, and detailed examination of a particular case
or cases, within a real-world context.
j. Historical Research
Historical research is a qualitative technique. Historical research studies the meaning of past
events in an attempt to interpret the facts and explain the cause of events, and their effect in
the present events.
