RESEARCH APPROACHES
- QUANTITATIVE/QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
- Quantitative: The
emphasis of
Quantitative
research is on
collecting and
analysing numerical
data; it concentrates
on measuring the
scale, range,
frequency
- Qualitative research
is more subjective in
nature than
Quantitative
research and
involves examining
and reflecting on the
less tangible aspects
of a research
subject, e.g. values,
attitudes,
perceptions.
- BASIC/APPLIED RESEARCH
- The primary aim of Basic Research
is to improve knowledge generally,
without any particular applied
purpose in mind at the outset.
Applied Research is designed from
the start to apply its findings to a
particular situation.
- DEDUCTIVE/INDUCTIVE RESEARCH
- Deductive
research
moves from
general
ideas/theories
to specific
particular &
situations: the
particular is
deduced from
the general,
e.g. broad
theories.
- Inductive
research
moves from
particular
situations to
make or infer
broad general
ideas/theories.
