Types of Research
Research types can be categorized in a number of ways, each of which corresponds to a particular category.
(A) Based on the type of information:
We can divide research into two categories based on the type of information used;
- When information is presented as qualitative data, this is known as qualitative research I
- When information is presented as quantitative data, this is known as quantitative research (ii).
(B) Based on the usefulness of the content or the nature of the research’s subject matter:
Using these criteria, we can divide the research into two groups.
- Basic, fundamental, pure, or theoretical research: This type of research is always useful.
- Experimental or applied research’s applicability is constrained.
(C) Based on the research methodology:
Research can be divided into two groups, according to us.
- Longitudinal Research: Historical, case study, and genetic research are a few examples in this category.
- Experimental and survey research are two examples of this type of study (ii).
(D) Based on the research methodology:
We can divide research into five categories based on the research methodology.
- Philosophical research: It is entirely qualitative in nature, and we are concentrating on how other people see the research’s subject matter.
- Historical research: It examines historical events and is both qualitative and quantitative in nature.
- Survey Research: It is quantitative in nature and deals with current events. It can also be divided into exploratory, correlational, and discretionary types of research.
- Experimental research: This focuses on potential outcomes and is entirely quantitative in nature.
- Case-Study Analysis: It covers peculiar occurrences. Depending on the content, it might be qualitative or quantitative in nature.
