Types/Classification and Dichotomies: Research

This document discusses different types and classifications of research: 1. Types according to methodology include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. Quantitative research uses numerical data while qualitative focuses on non-numerical data like behaviors and perceptions. Mixed methods combines both approaches. 2. Types according to purpose are basic research, which seeks new knowledge without immediate application, and applied research which develops new applications. 3. Types according to design include experimental, non-experimental, descriptive, historical, correlational, and evaluative designs. 4. Types according to inquiry are rationalistic, naturalistic, and developmental research. It also discusses dichotomies like pure basic vs applied research, and expl

Of

Research
Types according to
Methodology

1.Quantitative Research
2.Qualitative Research
3.Mixed Methods Research
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH dwells on investigating
certain phenomenon or event wherein data are usually
characterized by numerical measures.

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH is concerned with inquiring


about certain phenomenon or event, individual’s
behavior, culture, practices, and values such as beliefs
and perception. The data are then described and
reported generally in textual form. One of the main
characteristics of this research method is that the study
uses any one of the qualitative approaches (narrative,
phenomenology, case study, grounded theory, and
ethnography)

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
MIXED METHODS research uses both
qualitative and quantitative research
traditions. Many neophytes in research
mistakenly claim that if a study uses textual
and numerical data, a mixed method is used.
This is a wrong claim. Strictly speaking, a
mixed method research combines the use of
qualitative and quantitative data, approaches,
methodologies, and paradigms.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Types according to Purpose

1. Basic Research
2. Applied Research
BASIC
RESEARCH
- also called “fundamental
research” or “pure
research”
- seeks to discover basic
truths and principles
BASIC RESEARCH

- Intended to add to the body of scientific


knowledge by exploring the unknown; to
extend boundaries of knowledge and discover
new facts; to learn more accurately the
characteristics of known without any
particular thought as to immediate practical
utility.
- Its results in theoretical knowledge have no
immediate usefulness or value to man.
APPLIED
RESEARCH
- involves seeking new applications of
scientific knowledge
- In this type, the problem is identified and
a new system or new method is applied in
order to solve a problem.
- It produces knowledge of practical use to
man.
Types according to Design

1. Experimental Research
2. Non-experimental
Research
1. Experimental Research
Two sub-categories: pure experimental design
and quasi-experimental design
2. Non-experimental Research
Sub-categories: descriptive, historical,
correlational, and evaluative designs
Types according to Inquiry

1. Rationalistic Research
2. Naturalistic Research
3. Developmental Research
1. Rationalistic Research
This type of inquiry begins with an existing scholarly
theory using formal instruments in gathering data. The
theory itself serves as the take off point. The researcher
is to validate the theory having due regard of the theory
assumptions.
2. Naturalistic Research
The researcher investigates the individual’s thoughts,
values, perceptions, and even actions.
3. Developmental Research
It utilizes systematic techniques and introduces
innovations based on scientific research findings. The
researcher ‘s aim is to develop new materials, devices or
services that are largely designed to improve man’s way
of thinking.
Classification of Research
 LIBRARY
RESEARCH
 FIELD
RESEARCH
 LABORATORY
RESEARCH
LIBRARY RESEARCH
- done in the library
- Historical method of research lends
itself to library research.
FIELD
RESEARCH
- Research is
conducted in a
natural setting
(no changes in the
environment is made)
- Both applicable to
descriptive survey
and experimental
methods
- Conducted in artificial or controlled
conditions by isolating the study in a
thoroughly specified and equipped area.

LABORATORY RESEARCH

Applicable to
experimental,
descriptive
and case study
methods.
LABORATORY RESEARCH
- Purposes: (a) to test hypotheses
derived from theory; (b) to control
variance under research conditions;
and (c) to discover the relations
between the dependent and
independent variables.
