Answer 2

data through observation with some theoretical assumptions

Question 3

non-empirical data

Answer 3

data through logic and reasoning

Question 4

applied research

Answer 4

research to collect information to solve a problem. regulative cycle

Question 5

fundamental/theory oriented research

Answer 5

research to collect knowledge to expand knowledge, or to improve/expand the existing knowledge. empirical cycle

Question 6

empirical cycle, phases and steps

Answer 6

phase 1: theory generation (observation, induction (infer statements based on observations)
phase 2: theory testing (deduction (form hypothesis based on statements), testing, evaluation (compare hypothesis w results, and draw conclusions

Question 7

regulative cycle

Answer 7

1. problem assessment
2. diagnosis (research to find cause of problem, you use empirical cycle here)
3. design (select feasible plan and optimize plan to solve the problem
4. monitoring implementation (research to describe the changes that occur during implementation)
5. evaluation (assessment of the effects of the intervention. is problem solved.)
