Research
✓ ~~> systematic process of collecting and analyzing data for some
purpose
such as investigating a problem or answering a question
Evidence-based inquiry
✓ ~~> search for knowledge using empirical data which has
been gathered systematically
Inductive Research
✓ ~~> this research begins at the real world, practical level. It tends to
be
descriptive, correlational, or historical and leads to the building of theory.
Deductive Research
✓ ~~> this research springs from theory which is already established.
This research tries to determine what the relationships are between elements
of the theory and may be experimental in nature.

Survey
✓ ~~> this non-experimental design may occur through questionnaires,
interviews, etc. and is used to measure attitudes, perceptions, etc.
Descriptive
✓ ~~> this research simply describes an existing state of events. Numbers
may be used to characterize groups or individuals
Comparative
✓ ~~> this research method investigates whether there are differences
between two or more groups. There is no manipulation of conditions
experienced by each group
Correlational
✓ ~~> this research method uses the correlation coefficient to
determine the degree of relationship between two or more variables or

✓ ~~> Also called causal-comparative, this research design studies
possible causal relationships among variables after the fact
True Experiment
✓ ~~> This research is characterized by the use of experimental and
control groups with random assignment to each.
Quasi-Experiment
✓ ~~> This research is similar to experimental research except that
randomization of subjects to treatment and control groups is not
possible. It may be that no control or comparison group is available
Qualitative
✓ ~~> Research type that emphasizes gathering data about naturally
occurring phenomena (individual's and groups' living experiences) and
events. Data collection may be in terms of words rather than numbers.
Mixed-method research designs
✓ ~~> These designs combine quantitative and qualitative methods in
the same research effort. The researcher retains the flexibility to use
both types of designs. Typically, the designs are used sequentially.
