It aims to formulate a problem for
more accurate investigation or for
developing a hypothesis.
Steps of Exploratory Research
Methods exploratory
research
Survey of literature. - The researcher has to
gather these various a hypothesis with a view
to evaluate their usefulness for further study.
Ways of Experience Survey
Behavioural Possibility
It introduces many
behavioral potential
studies.
Knowledge of Facilities
It is possible to locate a
valuable source of
information using facility
knowledge.
Control Factor
Controlled and uncontrolled
information can be discovered
with the use of associated
elements.
Knowledge of
Helping Persons
We discovered that form of
knowledge that is associated to
agencies, company workers, and
other people that is useful for
studying with the help of this.
Best Hypothesis
The best hypothesis can
be made with the help of
an experience survey.
Case Study
In a case study, the most thought-provoking cases should be
chosen for further investigation.
In a case study, the researcher himself has to be very alert.
The purpose of the case study is to determine the exact reasons and
causes that explain the entire behavioral patterns of the unit as well as
the unit's position in its social environment.
Although the results of exploratory research are rarely beneficial for
decision-making on their own, they can provide valuable insight into a
problem.
Should be considered the initial step
Descriptive/formulative
Also known as statistical research, describes
phenomena as they exist.
Used to identify and obtain
information on characteristic of a
particular issue like community,
group or people.
This type of research describes social events,
social structure, social situations, etc. and
answers the questions, what, who, where, how
and when. It is used to study the current
situation.
Steps of Descriptive research
We can find 5 steps to do a Descriptive Research
The Clear discrimination of
objective of Research
First step is to select the main purpose of
research it is necessary because for
proper study of research.
Determination of the
Method of Data Collection
Data collection is necessary which type of
research the researcher wants, he must have to
select the method like questionnaire observation,
interview etc.
Selection of Sampling
Selected by the researcher, the researcher
selects some people these selected people
are known as sampling selection
Analysis of Achieved conclusion
This is the conclusion of the whole
research or investigation for
conclusion coding, tabulating and
graph representation is used.
Real Collection of Data
The researcher must have to in his real
research field, and it is collected in a
selected step at the time of data collection
reality is necessary for investigation.
Limitation of Descriptive Research
May make description an end itself and demand the
discovery of the facts in order to lead to a solution of
the problem. Statistics can aid, but not always explain
causal relation.
It cannot be used to create a causal relationship, where
one variable affects another, has a low requirement for
internal validity. Research design is formulated through
explanatory design and to test the research design,
description design is formulated.
Explanatory/analytical
The study's goal is to investigate a new universe that
has never been explored before.
Some phenomena have causes or
a "why" factor.
Is used to define an issue for specialized
investigations or to generate research questions.
The hypothesis in an explanatory research states the relationship
between two or more variable, the is hypothesized that A is related to
B but rather that A has some particular effect on B.
The explanatory investigation is always
accompanied with a set of concepts that direct the
researcher's quest for data.
Experimental
Used to test a Research Design of causal relationship under controlled situation, an
experiment is an observation under controlled conditions, some of the variables
being studied are manipulated or seek to control the condition within which persons
are observed. In experimentation, various types of evidence have to be, controlled
so that the alternative hypothesis can be tested.
Types of Experimental Research
There are 4 types of Experimental Research
After-only experimental design
The experimental group and the control group are
similar the uncontrolled extreme factors may affect
both the group causal. The experimental group is
exposed to the assumed causal variable, but the
control group is not exposed.
Before – after
experimental design.
The dependent variable, effect is measured both a before and after
the exposure of group, groups to experiment. This experiment may
use one group or several groups. There may be one control group or
more than one control group. a group may be influenced by the
external factor in a different way than the other group and this is a
great weakness of this design.
Ex-post facto design
The researcher depends on historical
background because sometimes it is not possible
to divide the population into two clear and
similar groups
Panel study
Method of study of a particular subject over time by using
different kinds of data. the researcher may secure direct
evidence of time relationship among variables. involves
repeated observations on the same subject at different
period of time. The variation in the result may be
attributed to a real change in phenomena.
Experimental research is affected
by several limitations Human
Society, and its main purpose is to
test the hypothesis of a causal
relationship between variables
