DEFINITIONS OF BASIC RESEARCH TERMS

Research may be defined as a systematic approach/method consisting of enunciating the

problem, formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and
reaching certain conclusions, either in the form of solution towards the concerned problem or
in certain generalizations for some theoretical formulation.

Objectives of Research
(1) to discover new facts
(2) to verify and test important facts
(3) to analyze an event or process or phenomenon to identify the cause-and-effect relationship
(4) to develop new scientific tools, concepts and theories to solve and understand scientific and
nonscientific problems
(5) to find solutions to scientific, nonscientific and social problems and
(6) to overcome or solve the problems occurring in our everyday life.

RESEARCH DESIGNS

1. HISTORICAL aims at a systematic and objective evaluation and synthesis of evidence

in order to establish facts and draw conclusions about past events.
2. DESCRIPTIVE aims to describe the behavior of a sample population.
3. CORRELATION Used to examine a relationship between two concepts
4. COMPARATIVE aims to compare past and present or different parallel situations,
particularly when the researcher has no control over events.
5. EXPERIMENTAL observes the effects when the conditions are manipulated. At its
simplest, changes are made to an independent variable and the effects are observed on
a dependent variable – i.e., cause and effect.
