This document outlines different types of research based on application of research methods, purpose of research, data needed, and approaches to research. It discusses pure versus applied research, descriptive, correlational, explanatory, and exploratory research purposes, qualitative and quantitative data and research, and the scientific/positive, naturalistic, and triangulation approaches to research. Key types of research identified are descriptive, correlational, explanatory, and action research.

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.
