A systematic & scientific process of gathering, analyzing and classifying, organizing, presenting of data

Research

It is for prediction, invention, for the discovery of truth or for the next expansion or verification of existing knowledge for preservation and improvement of the quality of human life

Research

Systematic inquiry directed towards the creation of knowledge

Architectural Research

The main/principle purpose & goal of research is the preservation & improvement of the quality of human life

Kinds and classification of research

According to:


. purpose


.goal


.levels of Investigation


.type of analysis


.scope


.choice of answers to problem


.statistical content


.time element

Classifications under purpose

.predictive/prognostic research


.directive research


.illuminative research

purpose of determining the future operation of the variables under investigation with the aim of controlling or redirecting such for the better

Predictive / prognostic research

Determines what should be done based on the findings. This is to remedy an unsatisfactory condition if there is any

Directive research

Is concerned with the interaction of the components of the variables being investigated

Illuminative research

Classifications under goal

.Basic/pure research


.applied research



2

Done for the development of theories or principles. Conducted for the intellectual pleasure of learning, much of this kind is done in psychology and sociology

Basic or pure research

Application of the results of pure research. This is testing the efficacy of theories and principles

Applied research

Classifications under levels of Investigation

.exploratory research


.descriptive research


.experimental research

Researcher studies the variables pertinent to specific situation

Exploratory research

Researcher studies the relationships of variables

Descriptive research

Researcher studies the effects of the variables on each other

Experimental research

Classifications under analysis

.analytic research


.holistic research

Researcher attempts to identify and isolate the components of the research situation

Analytic research

Begins with the total situation, focusing attention on the system first and then on its internal relationships

Holistic research

Classification under scope

.action research

Done on a very limited scope to solve a particular which is not big. It is almost problem solving

Action research

Classifications under choice of answers to problems

.Evaluation research


.developmental research

All possible courses of action are specified and identified and the researcher tries to find the most advantageous

Evaluation research

Focus is on finding or developing a more suitable instrument or process has been available

Developmental research

Classifications under statistical content

.quantitative/statistical research


.non-quantitative Research

Inferential statistics are utilized to determine the results of the study. This type of research usually includes comparison studies, cause-and-effect relationship, etc.


Quantitative/statistical research

Descriptive data are gathered rather than quantitative data

Non-quantitative research

Classifications under time element

.historical research


.Descriptive research


.experimental research


Describes "what was"

Historical research

Describes "what is"

Descriptive research

Describes "what will be"

Experimental research

The main principle purpose and goal of research

Preservation and improvement of quality of human life

5 steps in programming

.establish goals


. collect&analyze facts


. Uncover&test concepts


. Determine needs


. State the problem
