Multidisciplinary Reasearch
In multidisciplinary research, the findings from each discipline are __________ to each other.
supplementary
A field of research where it relies on shared
knowledge. When this happens, a fundamental shift can take place over time and a new interdisciplinary field emerges.
Interdisciplinary Research
The interdisciplinary research discipline __________ and work _________ collaboratively.
interact, collaboratively
Field of research where it has similarities with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research
Transdisciplinary Research

Transdisciplinary reasearch
A field of research where it integrates insights and approaches from what have historically been distinct scientific and technological disciplines.
Transdisciplinary Reasearch
Give some of the characteristics of research
Starts with a question
Requires a plan
Has a clear statement of the problem
Cyclical
Deals with facts and their meaning
The formation of conclusions should be based on _________
Facts
Types of reasoning

Abductive reasoning
A top-down approach to problems, General to universal premises
Deductive reasoning

Inductive reasoning
It will lead you to the best explanation since it forms a conclusion from the information that is known.
Abductive reasong
Deals with guesswork and produces a possible explanation. It is forming a hypothesis or likely explanation.

CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH
ACCORDING TO CONTENT/PURPOSE
Predictive Research
Directive Research
Illuminative Research
It is chiefly concerned with forecasting
(predicting) outcomes, consequences, costs, or effects.
Predictive/ prognostic research
The purpose of this research is to determine the future operation of the variables under investigation with the aim of controlling or redirecting such for the better.
Prognostic research
A research that determines what should be done based on the findings and has a specific aim or outcome
Directive research
A research concerned with the interactions of the variable being investigated
Illuminative research
CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH
ACCORDING TO GOAL
Basic or Pure Research
Applied Research
A research done for the development of theories or principles
Pure research
The main motivation of this research is to expand man’s knowledge, not to create or invent.
Pure research
A research driven by scientist’s curiosity in scientific question usually done in psychology and sociology
Pure Research
A research where you apply the results on the pure research
Applied Research
This research tests the efficacy or theories or principles
Applied Research
CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH ACCORDING
TO LEVELS OF INVESTIGATION
Exploratory Research
Descriptive Research
Experimental Research
