Research:
Research is an organised, creative work done to expand the body of knowledge. It entails gathering, analysing, and organising data to improve comprehension of a subject or problem. A study endeavour in the field can build on earlier findings.
Differentiating research endeavours based on their objectives and methodologies is what scientists refer to as a "difference in methods."
Types of Research:
Types of research are classified as:
Historical research
Descriptive research
Experimental research
First of all we discuss the historical research.
Historical research:
The use of historical sources and techniques in the field of educational research is known as historical research method. On the basis of the experiences of the past, historical research justifies itself when used to find out the solutions of the present day problems.
Qualities of historical research:
It is based on descriptions of observations which cannot be repeated.
It is responsible to be subjective.
In history, logical process of analysis and deduction is enunciated.
Importance of historical research:
It fosters appreciation for excellent teachers and respect for rigorous scholarship.
The educator can date craze and ruffle thanks to the history of education.
The educational professional can better address current issues by taking into account the origins and development of education thanks to the history of the field.
Descriptive Research:
This type of research is also called normative survey research. It concerns itself with the situation in terms of conditions, practices, beliefs, process, relationships or trends is variously entitled as descriptive survey - status, normative or trend study or survey.
Qualities of descriptive research:
It is more interested in the traits of a sample or the entire population than it is in the traits of individual people.
This study gathers information from a sizable number of respondents.
Its scope is really broad.
Importance of descriptive research:
This kind of study aids in the exploration of current issues, the acquisition of historical perspectives via a sequence of cross-sectional images of comparable circumstances at various points in time, and the recommendation of a roadmap for next advances.
Many tools are developed, knowledge is advanced, and underlying concepts and data are provided from descriptive research that may be used to organise numerous other investigations.
Experimental Research:
Experimental research is defined as the explanation and analysis of what will be or what will occur, under carefully controlled conditions. It includes a hypothesis, a variable that can be operated by the researcher and variables that can be measured, calculated and compared.
Qualities of experimental research:
Independent variable manipulated by the researchers.
Through experimental study, scientists can move beyond mere description and interpretation, and instead try to identify the origin of effects.
The experimental research determined the type and scope of the treatment.
Importance of experimental research:
The capacity to carefully modify the relevant variables.
Generally speaking, data is devoid of bias and subjective interpretation.
Establishing relationships between causes and effects.
The experimental study permits precise control of independent and irrelevant factors.
