Applied research Flashcards
‘‘Research is to see what nobody else has seen,
and to think what nobody else has thought”
Albert Szent-Gyorgi
is a procedure by which we attempt
to find systematically, and with the support of
demonstrable fact, the answer to a question or
the solution of a problem
Research (Leedy, 1989).
Research is the systematic, controlled,
empirical and critical investigation of
hypothetical propositions about presumed
relations among natural phenomena
(Kerlinger, 1970)
Research is a process of steps used to collect
and analyze information to increase our
understanding of a topic or issue
(Creswell).
Research is a process of gathering data to
solve a particular or specific problem in
scientific manner
(Halpin, 1996).
Research is a careful, critical, disciplined
inquiry, varying in technique and method
according to the nature and conditions of the
problem identified, directed toward the
clarification or resolution of the problem
(Good and Scates, 1972).
c. It follows an orderly and
sequential procedure that leads to the discovery of
the truth or solution
Researchh is systematic
All the procedures
employed and data gathered are perceived in the
same manner by all observers.
research is empirical
The data of all
researchers have to be analyzed, presented, and
interpreted
research is analytical
All the findings
and conclusions are logically based on empirical
data
Research is objective and logical
Experimental
research requires hypothesis that need to be tested.
research employs hypothesis
Data are
transformed into numerical measures and are treated
statistically to determine their significance or
usefulness.
Research employs statistical methods
Except in historical
research, data are gathered from primary sources or
first-hand sources and not from secondary sources
research is original work
Only experts use
valid data, carefully designed procedures, and valid
research instrument.
Research is done by an expert
A research carelessly done due to racing against time
may lead to incorrect findings and shaky
conclusions
Research is a patient and unhurried activity
Research involves much work, time, personnel, and
money.
research requires an effort making capacity

At times, the

so that you can do something about it now.”

Based on Application of Research Method
a. Pure Research
b. Applied Research
Four types of research
- Based on Application of Research Method
- Based on Purpose of the Research
- Based on the Types of Data Needed
- Data you deal with research
