RESEARCH DESIGN

1. 2.-Descriptive Research or Statistical Research

   • Characteristics
     • known as statistical research, this describes phenomena as they exist.
       • his type of research describes social events, social structure, social situations, etc.
         • Answers the questions, what, who, where, how and when.
           • It is used to study the current situation.
             • Used in the physical and natural science, but it is used more common in the social sciences
   • Steps of Descriptive Research
     • 1.- The Clear discrimination of objective of Research
       • 2.-Determination of the Method of Data Collection
         • 3.-Selection of Sampling
           • 4.-Real Collection of Data
             • 5.-Analysis of Achieved conclusion
               • 6.-Limitation of Descriptive Research
                 • The Research may make description an end itself research is essentially creative and demand the discovery of the facts in order to lead to a solution of the problem.
               • tabulating and graph representation is used.
             • Real data collection for the investigation
           • the researcher select some people
         • he must have to select the method like questionnaire observation, interview etc.
       • Without main aim and purpose research cannot go properly

2. 1.-Exploratory or Formulative Research

   • Characteristics
     • Purposes of formulating a problem for developing a hypothesis.
       • Purpose of this research is to achieve new insights into a phenomenon
         • Focus familiarity with the subject area
           • more appropriate in case of problems about which little research knowledge is available
   • Steps of Exploratory Research
     • 1.-Survey of Literature
       • 2.-The Experience of Survey
         • Ways of Experience Survey
           • Best Hypothesis
             • Behavioural Possibility
               • Knowledge of Facilities
                 • Control Factor
                   • Knowledge of Helping Persons
                     • Case Study
                       • The insight-stimulating cases should be selected for special study
                       • The case study technique, generally studies the subject qualitatively and covers all aspects of a single entity.
                     • Related to the agencies, business worker and another person which is helpful of study.
                   • By the help of related factors controlled and un-controlled knowledge can be found.
                 • By the help of knowledge of facilities source of important knowledge can be found.
               • It introduces the different study of behavioural possibility.
             • By the help of experience survey best hypothesis can be made.
         • Many people in the course of their day-to-day experience, by virtue of their peculiar placement as officials, social workers, professional etc.
       • Researcher reviews material to formulate a hypothesis

3. 4.-Experimental Research or Analytical Research

   • Types of Experimental Research
     • 1.-After-only experimental design
     • 2.-Before – after experimental design.
     • 4.-Ex-post facto design
     • 5.-Panel study
   • Characteristcs
     • The Research design that is used to test a Research Design of causal relationship under controlled situation is called experimental design.
       • Researchers manipulate the variables. These are divided into independent and dependent.
         • Its objective is to identify cause and effect relationships between variables.

4. 3.-Explanatory Research Design

   • When the purpose of the study is to explore a new universe, one that has not been studied earlier, the research design is called explanatory
     • The research is mainly concerned with causes or „why‟ factor about some phenomenon.
       • The research purpose in this case is to gain familiarity in unknown areas.
         • Explanatory research design is used to formulate a problem for specific investigations, or aim at formulating research Design
           • The hypothesis in an explanatory research that states the relationship between two or more variable
             • An explanatory study thus focuses on determining the „why‟ aspect of correlationship.
