Which are the types of research design and it sub-classes?

Experiment has at least two meanings, the general and the particular.

Quasi-experimental design: analyzes just one variable and there is not practically any kind of control.

Pure or true experiment: the first requirement to consider an [blank_start]experiment[blank_end] “pure” is the intentional manipulation of one or more independent variables. The [blank_start]independent[blank_end] variable is the one that is considered as alleged cause in [blank_start]variable[blank_end] relation and the effect caused is denominated as dependent variable. In a pure or true experiment [blank_start]control groups[blank_end] can be used which are equivalent to the manipulated ones, as to compare the effect of the studied variable into the subjects.

Both, Qualitative and Quantitative had a case of study.

Design term refers to a strategy or plan conceived to respond to your research questions. The design leads the researcher for what it is capable to reach and also analyze the certain of the formulated hypothesis.

In this type of research design the independent variables are not varied intentionally.
