Definition of ResearchSystematic, controlled, empirical and critical

investigation of hypothetical propositions..(Kerlinger 1972)

A purposive, systematic and scientific process of gathering, analyzing, classifying, organizing, presenting and interpreting data.( Calderon and Gonzales, 1993)

Process of gathering data or information to solve a particular/ scientific problem. (Halpin, 1996)

Collection of data in a rigorously controlled situation for prediction or explanation. (Quinton, 2006)

Research Concepts Types of Research According to purpose: Predictive/ Prognostic Research- future

operation of the

variables.Directive research- what should be done the

findings to remedy a certain condition.Illuminative research- interaction of the

components of the variables being

investigated.

Research Concepts According to Goal:

Basic/Pure Research- development of theories and

principles

Applied Research- testing the efficacy of theories

and principles.

Research Concepts According the level of investigation:

Exploratory Research- discovery and generating theory

Descriptive Research- prevailing conditions,

processes, cause and effect

relationships Experimental Research- effects of the

variables on each other

Research ConceptsAccording to choice of answers

to problems:

Evaluation Research- possible actions are identified and

used as bases in making

decisionsDevelopmental Research-

finding/developing suitable system

or process.

Research Concepts

According to Statistical Content:

Quantitative- used of statistical or inferential statistics

to determine the results.

Qualitative- data are analyzed rationally not

statistically.

Research Concepts

According to Time Element:Historical Research- whole truth of

past eventsDescriptive Research- present

conditions and

understand nature,

characteristics, components and

aspects of phenomenon.Experimental Research- cause and

effect relationship

Research Concepts Research Process Steps: 1. Problem Identification- choice

of the researcher based on the researcher’s interest, current issues, moral or legal impediments.

2. Literature Review- concepts or theoretical frameworks of the planned research.

Research Concepts

3. Research Design- procedure of planning and

carrying out the research.

4.Data Collection- method of gathering data to

provide information.

5. Data presentation, analysis and interpretation

- manner of organizing, collecting and

analyzing/interpreting data.

Research Concepts

6. Formulation of implications and

conclusions -brief statements based on the findings

of the study.
