Research
= systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of hypothetical proposition about the presumed relations among natural phenomena.
Research
– has the purpose of determining the future operation of the variables under investigation with the aim of controlling or redirecting such for the better 2.
Predictive or Prognostic Research
– determines what should be done based on the findings this is to remedy an unsatisfactory condition, if there is any
Direct Research
– is concerned with the interaction of the components of the variable being investigated, as for example, “interaction of the components of educational systems and aims to show the connections among, for example, students’ characteristics, organizational pattern and policies, and educational consequences
Illuminative Research
According to Purpose
Predictive
Direct
Illuminative
– is done for the development of theories and Principles.
Basic or pure Research
– is the application of the results of pure search. This is testing the efficacy of theories and principles. aims to test theories and concepts developed for verification, application, development and support and their relationship to the existing fund of knowledge
Applied Research
According to Goal
Basic research
applied research
– the researcher studies the variables pertinent to a specific situation.
Exploratory Research
– the researcher studies the relationships of the variables.
Descriptive Research
– the experiment studies the effects of the variables on each other.
Experimental Research
According to the Level of Investigation
Exploratory
Descriptive
Experimental
– the researcher attempts to identify and is isolate the components of the research situation.
Analytical Research
– begins with the total situation. Focusing attention on the system first and then on its internal relationships.
Holistic Research
D. According to the Type of Analysis
Analytical
Holistic
This type of research is done on a very limited scope to solve a particular problem which is not so big. It is almost problem solving.
Action Research
, all possible courses of action are specified and identified and the researcher tries to find the most advantageous.
Evaluation research
the focus is on finding or developing a more suitable instrument or process than has been available.
developmental research
According to Choice of Answers to Problems
Evaluation
developmental
– is one in which inferential statistics are utilized todetermine the results of the study. Inferential statistics such as correlation, chi-square, analysisof variance, etc. are used to test the hypothesis. This type of research usually includescomparison studies, cause-and-effect relationships, etc.
Quantitative or statistical research
– This is research in which the use of the quantity or statistics ispractically nil. This is especially true in anthropological studies where description is usuallyused. Descriptive data are gathered rather than quantitative data.
Non-quantitative research
describes what
was
Historical research
describes what

Descriptive research
