TYPES OF RESEARCH

1. Based on Application of Research Methods


- theoretical or practical issues
Pure research - deals with concepts, principles,
or abstract things.
- Aims to increase knowledge about something.
Applied Research - to apply your
chosen research to societal problems or
issues, finding ways to make positive
changes in society.
2. Based on Purpose of the Research
a. descriptive
b. correlational
c. explanatory
d. exploratory
e. action
a. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH - aims at
defining or giving a verbal portrayal or
picture of a person, thing, event, group,
situation, etc.
-liable to repeated research because its topic
relates itself only to a certain period of time or a
limited number of years.
-based on the results of your descriptive studies
about a subject, you develop the inclination of
conducting further studies on such topic.
b. CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH -
shows relationships or connectedness of
two factors, circumstances, or agents
called variables that affect the research.
- Only concerned in indicating the
existence of a relationship, not the causes
and ways of the development of such
relationship.
c. EXPLANATORY RESEARCH -
elaborates or explains not just the
reasons behind the relationship of two
factors, but also the ways by which
such relationship exists.
d. EXPLORATORY RESEARCH - purpose is
to find out how reasonable or possible it is to
conduct a research study on a certain topic.
- Here you will discover ideas on topics that
could trigger your interest in conducting
research studies.
e. ACTION RESEARCH – studies an ongoing
practice of a school, organization, community, or
institution for the purpose of obtaining results
that will bring improvements in the system.
3. Based on Data Needed
a. Qualitative Research
b. Quantitative Research

The data are either primary or secondary.


Primary - obtained through direct observation or
contact with people, objects, artifacts, paintings,
etc. New and original data from your sensory
experience.
Secondary – when primary data have already been
written about or reported on and are available.
Approaches to Research
1. SCIENTIFIC OR POSITIVE APPROACH -
discover and measure information as well as
observe and control variables in an impersonal
manner.
- It allows control of variables in an impersonal
manner.
- Structured interviews, questionnaires, and
observational checklists.
- Data given by these techniques are expressed
through numbers, which means that this method is
suitable for quantitative research.
2. NATURALISTIC APPROACH
- Uses words
- Directs you to deal with qualitative data that
speak of how people behave toward their
surroundings.
- Non-numerical data that express truths about
the way people perceive or understand the
world.
3. TRIANGULATION APPROACH -
combining the two approaches.
- In this case, you are free to gather and analyze
data using multiple methods, allowing you to
combine or mix up research approaches,
research types, data gathering, and data
analysis techniques.
- It gives you the opportunity to view every
angle of the research from different
perspectives.
