Module 3: DESIGNS AND METHODS INRESEARCH Flashcards
Types of Research
A. Pure or Basic Research
B. Applied Research
The reason for asking research questions are of two general kinds;
intellectual and practical
•also known as fundamental research.
Pure or Basic Research
•intellectual curiosity is the only motivational factor behindit
Pure or Basic Research
•concerned mainly with adding new information without necessarily having immediate application for its endresult
Pure or Basic Research
•focused up on a real life problem requiring an action or policydecision.
Applied Research
•tries to find out practical and immediate result; problem oriented and action directed.
Applied Research
•vast scope for applied research in the fields of technology, management, commerce, economics and other social sciences.
Applied Research
•the basic framework which provides guidelines for the rest of researchprocess.
RESEARCH DESIGN
constitute the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data –
Bernard S Philips.
as the logical and systematic planning and directing a piece of research –
Pauline andYoung
the plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived, so as to obtain answers to research questions and to control variants” –
Fred NKerlinger
it embodies a view of social reality as an external, objectivereality.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD
entailing the collection of numeric data; emphasizes quantification in the collection and the analysis ofdata.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD
entails a deductive approach to the relationship between theoryand research, Deductive Approach: Theory → Observations/Findings
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD
meaning is from data generated; generalization is by population membership
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD
Basic methodology for a quantitative research design
•usesdeductivereasoning
•investigate current theory surrounding the problem or issue
•the researcher forms a hypothesis
•collects data in an investigation of the problem
•uses the data from the investigation, after analysis is made and conclusions are shared, to prove the hypotheses not false or false.
emphasizes words rather than quantification in the collection and analysis ofdata
it embodies view of social reality as a constantly shifting emergent property of individuals’ creation; meaning is situational, decidedby the actors, negotiated, or by multipleperspectives
emphasizes an inductive approach to the relationship betweentheory and research, Inductive Approach: Observations/ Findings →Theory
QUALITATIVE RESEARCHMETHOD
Basic methodology for a qualitative research design
•inductivereasoning
•the researcher selects a general topic and then begins collecting information to assist in the formation of a hypothesis
•the data collected during the investigation creates the hypothesis for the researcher in this research design model.

Types of Quantitative Research
1.Descriptive research
2. Correlational research
3. Causal-comparative
4. Experimental research
seeks to describe the current status of an identified variable
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Fact-finding with adequateinterpretation
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
systematic collection of information requires careful selection of the units studied and careful measurement of each variable
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
May or may not use statisticaltools
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Gathering of data regarding presentconditions
Descriptive survey
Surveys are made to ascertain the normal or typicalconditions
Descriptive-normative survey
Ex. Preferred Degree Programs Among Low Income Families in BaguioCity
Descriptive-normative survey
Seeks to answer questions to realfacts
Descriptive status
Ex. Students’ Appraisal of their Physical Wellbeing in Relationto CityCrimes
