involves seeking new applications of scientific knowledge to the solution of a problem, such as development of new system or procedure, new device, or new method in order to solve the problem.
applied research
a feature of applied research, which is decision-oriented research involving the application of the steps of the scientific method in response to an immediate application, not on the development of a theory or on generalizations of applications
action research
aims to discover basic truths or principles. It is intended to add to the body of knowledge by exploring the unknown, to extend boundaries of knowledge, as well as to discover new facts
pure research
research methods
descriptive research
historical research
experimental research
case study research
it describes what is
descriptive research
describes what occurred in the past and makes a critical inquiry into the truth of what occurred
historical research
it focuses on the past, present, and future conditions
experimental research
systematic inquiry into an event or a set of related events which aims to describe and explain the phenomenon of interest
case study research
it is a technical report on a systematic investigation of a problem that can be solved using compputing
thesis
undertaking appropriate to a professional field which should significantly address an existing problem or need
capstone project
thesis vs capstone project
thesis - a technical report on a systematic investigation of a problem
capstone project - significantly address an existing problem or need
research vs problem-solving
research - research problem is more rigorous and broader in scope
problem-solving - a problem to be solved is rigorous and less broad
research - research problem is not necessarily defined specifically
problem-solving - a problem to be solved has to be defined specifically
