TYPES RESEARCH BASED ON Purpose Method Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Types of Research based on purpose Basic Research Applied Research Evaluation Research Research and Development Action Research Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Basic or Fundamental or Pure Research It is designed to add an organized body of scientific knowledge and does not necessarily produce results of immediate practical value. It is used for advancement of the knowledge. The goal of research is the development of theories by the discovery of broad generalization or principle. The main aim of basic research is the discovery of knowledge for the sake of knowledge. It may result in discovery of new theory or development of an existing theory. Eg. learning theories. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Applied Research It is undertaken to solve an immediate practical problem and the goal of adding to scientific knowledge is secondary. It is a process for studying practical problems and findings a solution to it. The focus is to improve and modify the current practices. It is based on the basic research. It is used for the purpose of applying or is based on basic research. It is used for testing the theory and evaluating its usefulness in solving problems. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Evaluation Research Evaluation Research done for the purpose of evaluating the success of a program or a curriculum is known as evaluation research. eg. Is CBSE syllabus better than I.C.S.E syllabus? Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Research and Development Research and development used for the development of effective products. eg. Defence Research Development Organization(DRDO) Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Action Research It is focused on the immediate and specific application and not on the development of theory or general application. Its findings have local applicability to a particular problem and universal validity. These research specialists are subsidized by universities, private or government agencies and professional association. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
Types of Research Based on Method Analytical Research Descriptive Research Experimental Research Qualitative Research Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
1. Analytical Research Type of research that involves in depth study and execution of available information in an attempt to explain complex phenomena. It can be categorized in the following way. Historical, philosophical, review and meta- analysis. Historical Research: it deals with events that have already occurred.it focuses on events, organization institutions and people. Philosophical Research: it is characterized by critical inquiry, problem dealing with objectives, curriculum, course content, requirement and methodology. Review: A review is a critical evaluation of recent research on a particular topic. Meta- analysis: A quantitative means of analyzing the findings from numerous studies. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
2.Descriptive Research It is concerned with status. This research attempts to determine the current state of such things as knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to a specific issue. The following are the forms of descriptive research. Normative survey: The normative survey generally seeks to gather performance or knowledge data on a large sample from a population and to present the results in the form of comparative standards norms. Case study: The case study is used to provide detailed information about an individual or institution, community, etc. Job analysis: It is used to describe in detail the various duties, procedures, responsibilities , preparations, advantages and disadvantages of a particular job. Documentary analysis: This is a type of descriptive research, directed primarily at establishing the status of certain practices, areas of interest, usage of terms and space counts. Developmental studies: It is concerned with interaction of learning or performance with maturation. Correlation studies: The purpose of correlational research is to examine the relationship between certain performance variables. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
3.Experimental Research Traditionally regarded as the most scientific of all the approaches used. The researcher attempts to manipulate the influence of variables, in order to arrive at cause effect relationship, rather than rely upon existing data . Examples of such approaches include the use of both controlled laboratory settings and field investigations. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
4.Qualitative Research Research method that involves intensive, long time observation in a natural setting. Precise and detailed recording of what happens in the settings, interpretation and analysis of the data using description, narratives, quotes, charts and tables. Dr.Sanjay Kumar Sahu
