Research• 1.10 Characteristics of Good Research
Types of Research1.Basic Research.2.Applied Research.3.Developmental Research.
Basic Research.
This is also called as “fundamental research”
or “pure research.”
Applied ResearchThis type of research involves seeking new applications of scientific knowledge to the solution of a problem, such as the development of a new system or procedure new device, or new method in order to solve the problem.
Developmental ResearchThis is a decision-oriented research involving the application of the steps of the scientific method in response to an immediate need to improve existing practices.
Classification of Research1.Library research.2.Field research.3.Laboratory research.
Library research• This is done in the library
where answers to specific questions or problems of the study are available.
Field researchHere, research is conducted in natural setting.
Laboratory researchThe research is conducted in artificial or controlled conditions by isolating the study in a thoroughly specified and equipped area.
The VariableMeaning of Variable A variable is defined as a quantity susceptible of fluctuation or change in value or magnitude under different conditions. Numerical values or categories represent these quantities.
Types of Variable1.Independent variable.2.Dependent variable.3.Moderator variable.4.Control variable.5.Intervening variable.
Independent variable.
This is the stimulus variable which is chosen by the researcher to determine its relationship to an observed phenomenon.
Dependent variable.
This is the response variable which is observed and measured to determine the effect of the independent variable.
Moderator variableThis is a secondary or special type of independent variable chosen by the researcher to determine if it changes or modifies the relationships between the independent and dependent variables.
Control variableThis is a variable that is controlled by the investigator in which the effects can be neutralized by eliminating or removing the variable
Intervening variable.
This is a variable which interferes with the independent and dependent variables, but its effects can either strengthen or weaken the independent and dependent variables
