According To Vizcarra, (2004)According To Vizcarra, (2004) Basic research- Basic research- also known as “pure also known as “pure

research”. It is usually done to develop theories research”. It is usually done to develop theories or principles. Researcher try to explore so as to or principles. Researcher try to explore so as to come up with principles which will serve as the come up with principles which will serve as the bases for further knowledge and developmentbases for further knowledge and development

Qualitative ResearchQualitative Research

Historical research - it attempts to broaden our Historical research - it attempts to broaden our knowledge because it systematically collects, knowledge because it systematically collects, evaluates, describes and explain activities evaluates, describes and explain activities occurring in the past occurring in the past

Ethnographic research- it aims to provide a Ethnographic research- it aims to provide a holistic view of the problems. The instrument holistic view of the problems. The instrument used in data gathering is usually observation, used in data gathering is usually observation, interview and participation. Careful analysis interview and participation. Careful analysis should be made to come up with a should be made to come up with a comprehensive perspective of the problemcomprehensive perspective of the problem

Case study design- it is similar to ethnographic Case study design- it is similar to ethnographic and historical research in almost all and historical research in almost all approaches. It uses the past and the present to approaches. It uses the past and the present to describe the future of the problem. It utilizes describe the future of the problem. It utilizes observations, interviews and examinations like observations, interviews and examinations like IQ or diagnostic test to identify the strengths IQ or diagnostic test to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the problemand weaknesses of the problem

Quantitative ResearchQuantitative Research

Descriptive design- is a scientific method Descriptive design- is a scientific method which involves observing and describing which involves observing and describing the behavior of a subject without the behavior of a subject without influencing it in any way. Many scientific influencing it in any way. Many scientific disciplines, especially social science and disciplines, especially social science and psychology, use this method to obtain a psychology, use this method to obtain a general overview of the subject general overview of the subject

Types of Descriptive ResearchTypes of Descriptive Research

Typical Descriptive Design: Examines Typical Descriptive Design: Examines characteristics of a single sample (explores characteristics of a single sample (explores aspects of phenomena of interest). aspects of phenomena of interest).

Comparative Descriptive Design: Compares Comparative Descriptive Design: Compares two or more groups that occur naturally in a two or more groups that occur naturally in a setting (explores for differences).setting (explores for differences).

Descriptive Correlational Design: Describes Descriptive Correlational Design: Describes the relationship among variables in a the relationship among variables in a particular sampleparticular sample

Predictive Correlational: Attempts to explore Predictive Correlational: Attempts to explore what factors predict (have an influence on) what factors predict (have an influence on) another variable. Because this design another variable. Because this design explores causality, the term explores causality, the term independent independent variablevariable is used to describe the predictor is used to describe the predictor variables that are thought to predict the variables that are thought to predict the outcome variables (often called the outcome variables (often called the dependent variable).dependent variable).

Experimental Research Design- it is different Experimental Research Design- it is different from other research design in as much that this from other research design in as much that this design tries to explore the nature, design tries to explore the nature, characteristics, relationships, and differences of characteristics, relationships, and differences of one or more variable. The term “experiment” one or more variable. The term “experiment” requires manipulation of variables to observe requires manipulation of variables to observe effects or results. This designs describes what effects or results. This designs describes what will be. It means that the researcher has to will be. It means that the researcher has to determine the effects of the variables being determine the effects of the variables being manipulated together with the main objectives of manipulated together with the main objectives of the studythe study
