    This document summarizes different types of research including applied research which aims to solve practical problems, basic research which adds to scientific knowledge without practical applications, correlational research which studies relationships between variables, descriptive research which counts and measures impacts on people, ethnographic research which studies culture through in-depth interviews, experimental research which tests causes and effects, exploratory research which helps define problems, historical research which analyzes past events, phenomenological research which understands subjective experiences, action research which applies scientific methods to classroom problems, illustrative case studies which make unfamiliar topics familiar, exploratory case studies which help design large investigations, cumulative case studies which aggregate past studies, and critical instance case studies which question universal assertions.

    Types and Examples of Research in different

    areas/field
    Applied Research
     To solve practical problems of the modern world, to
    improve human condition, and to find solutions to
    everyday problems.

    Basic Research
     This research is designed to add to an organized body of
    scientific knowledge and does not necessarily produce
    results of practical value.
    Correlational research
     Refers to the systematic investigation or statisticalstudy
    of relationships among two or more variables, without
    necessarily determining cause and effect.

    Descripted research
     It is also known as statistical research. This research deals
    with every thing that can be counted and measured and
    which has an impact on people and communities.
    Ethnographic Research
     Refers to the investigation of culture through in-depth
    study of the members of the culture; it involves the
    systematic collection, description, and analysis of data for
    development of theories of cultural behaviour.
    Experimental Research
     Is an objective, systematic, controlled investigation, for
    thee purpose of predicting and controlling phenomena
    and examining probability and casuality among selected
    variables.
    Exploratory Research
    Is a type conducted for a problem that has not been clearly
    defined. It helps determine the best research design, data
    collection method and selection of subjects.

    Historical Research
     Is one involving analysis of events that occurred in
    the remote or recent past. Understanding this can
    add perspective on how we examine current events
    and educational practices.
    Phenomenological Research
     Is an inductive descriptive research developed from
    phenomenological philosophy. This type of research is powerful for
    understanding subjective experiences.

    Action Research
     Involves the application of the steps of the scientific method in the
    classroom problems. This research can be conducted through
    interviews about the students’ experiences.
    Two Approaches of Ethnography
     Realist-researcher provides an objective account of the situation
     Critical- researcher shows his advocacy for a marginalize froup or
    attempts to empower the group by giving it voice.
    Types of Case Studies
    Illustrative Case Studies
    These are primarily descriptive studies. They typically utilize one or two instances of an event to show
    what a situation is like. Illustrative case studies serve primarily to make the unfamiliar familiar and to give
    readers a common language about the topic in question.
    Exploratory (or pilot) Case Studies
    These are condensed case studies performed before implementing a large scale investigation. Their basic
    function is to help identify questions and select types of measurement prior to the main investigation. The
    primary pitfall of this type of study is that initial findings may seem convincing enough to be released
    prematurely as conclusions.
    Cumulative Case Studies
    These serve to aggregate information from several sites collected at different times. The idea behind these
    studies is the collection of past studies will allow for greater generalization without additional cost or time
    being expended on new, possibly repetitive studies.
    Critical Instance Case Studies
    These examine one or more sites for either the purpose of examining a situation of unique interest with
    little to no interest in generalizability, or to call into question or challenge a highly generalized or universal
    assertion. This method is useful for answering cause and effect questions.
