It is searching for a theory, for
testing theory, or for solving a
problem.
RESEARCH
It is to search
again, to take
another more
careful look, to
find out more
(Selltiz, et.al.,
1976)
RESEARCH
It is a systematic quest for
undiscovered truth
(Leedy, 1974)
RESEARCH
It is a
systematic
attempt to
provide answers
to questions
(Tuckman, 1972)
RESEARCH
Types of
research
Based on
inquiry
Based on
purpose
Based on
method
Based on
inquiry
Rationalistic and Naturalistic
Rationalistic
❖Begin with an existing theory
❖Formal instruments are used
❖Findings are generalized
❖Problem is converted into dependentand
variables after
develops strategies
which the
and independent
researcher instruments to control relationships
between and among naturally occurring
variables
Naturalistic
❖State that we must understand the framework within which the subjects under
study interpret their environment to beable to understand human behavior
❖The individual’s thoughts, values,
perceptions and actions are studied.
involves observing subjects in
their natural environment.
Naturalistic
Naturalistic
Data Collection Methods :
Tally counts
* Observer narratives
* Audio or video recordings
Based on purpose:
Basic/
fundamental
/ pure
Applied/
action
Developmental
is intended to add to the body of
scientific knowledge by exploring
the unknown to extend the
boundaries of knowledge as well as
to discover new facts, and learn
more accurately the characteristics
of known without any particular
thought as to immediate practical
utility
Basic/
fundamental
/ pure
…seeks to discover basic truths
or principles.
BASIC RESEARCH
Also known as action research
Applied Research
Directed towards the practical
application of knowledge
Applied/
action
Theory may be supported, modified or revised
Applied/
action
involves seeking new applications of scientific
knowledge to the solution of a problem such as
the development of new system or procedure,
new device, or new method, in order to solve
the problem.
Applied/
action
…produces knowledge of practical
use to man.
APPLIED RESEARCH
This is a decision-oriented
research involving the application
of the
method
steps of the scientific
in response to an
immediate need to improve
existing practices.
Developmental
Often used in engineering and
technology areas
Developmental
Critical investigation of events,
developments and experiences of
the past, the careful weighing of
evidence of the validity of sources
of information on the past and the
interpretation of the weighed
evidence (Kellinger, 1972)
Historical Research
Data are gathered through the
collection of original documents or
interviewing eye witnesses.
Historical Research
A study where the major emphasis is
on the discovery of ideas and insights
(Selltiz, et.al., 1979)
Descriptive Research
Describes the population’s
characteristics
Descriptive Research
Involves the collection of two or
more sets of data from a group of
subjects with
determine
the attempt to
the subsequent
relationship between those sets of
data (Tuckman, 1972)
Correlational Research
Ex Post Facto Research
“After the Fact”
A systematic empirical inquiry in
which the researcher does not have
direct control of the independent
variables
Ex Post Facto Research
Also known as Causal-Comparative
Research
