Jagannath University Department of Geography and Environment Definition of inductive and deductive research approaches & type of research Group 02 Syed Abul Basher – M23060201108 Md.Zahidul Islam – M23060201109 Mohammad Iqbal Hossain – M23060201110 Sumona Rani – M23060201111 Shahrin Akhter – M23060201112 Md.Iqbal Faruque – M23060201113 Ashif Rahman – M23060201114

3. What is Research The word research is originated from the old French word “ Recerchire ”.that means search again According to M.Nurul Islam, Research is a scientific method of answering a research question, solving a research problem or generating new knowledge through a systematic and orderly collection ,organization and analysis of data with a goal of making the findings of research useful in decision making.

4. Types of Research There is Two types of Research - Fundamental Research - Applied Research

5. Type of Research Research Fundamental Research Applied Research

6. Fundamental Research /Applied Research Fundamental/Basic Research Applied Research Basic Research is Sponsored by n agency or organization advance of Knowledge Applied research is sponsored by an agency with a vested interested in the result Result in basic research are the property of society and the research community Applied research result become the property of sponsor Studies related to basic research rely on the established reputation of the researcher and are totally under their control Studies related to applied research follow explicit terms of reference developed by the sponsor to serve the sponsor needs Research reports are targeted to other specialized researcher in the same field Research report are intended to be read and understood by lay person Source: A introduction to research method by M. Nurul Islam

7. Inductive Approaches Inductive research is a method in which the researcher collects and analyzes data to develop theories, concepts or hypotheses based on patterns and observation seen in the data. Steps of inductive research process: Observation Pattern Tentative Hypothesis Theory

8. Advantages & disadvantages of inductive approaches Advantages Rules learners discover for themselves (student-centered) how to use, when to use some structures than rules they have been presented with. This makes the rules more meaningful, memorable and acquire. Students participate in the learning process more actively, rather than being simply passive listeners: therefore students are more attentive and more motivated. Students work things out for themselves and it prepares them for greater self reliance and autonomy. Disadvantages Much time and energy are spent while working out rules with students. The time taken to work out a rule may be at the expense of time spent in putting the rule to some sort of productive practice. It can demand teachers to work on planning a lesson. An inductive approach frustrates students who would prefer simply to be told the rule.

9. Deductive Approaches Deductive research is a type of research in which the researcher starts with a theory, hypothesis or generalization and then tests it though observations and data collection. Steps of deductive research approaches: Theory Hypothesis observation confirmation

10. Comparison between Inductive & Deductive approaches Inductive Approaches Inductive approaches is the process of moves from specific observation to broader generalization. Involves moving from specific to general. A bottom up approaches. Its fast and easy to use. The truth of premises dose not necessarily guarantee the truth of conclusion. Based on patterns and connections. Deductive Approaches Deductive approaches is the process of start of general statements to reach a logical conclusion. Involves moving from general to specific. A top down approaches. The conclusion has to be true if the premises are true. Comparatively more complex and its consume more time. Based on facts , truths or rules.

11. Conclusion Inductive research and deductive research are two different types of research with different starting points, goals, method and ways of looking at data. Inductive research uses specific observations and patterns to come up with new theories. Besides deductive research starts with a theory or hypothesis and tests it through observation Both approaches have advantages as well disadvantages and can be used in various type of research depending on the question and goal.
