 DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Descriptive research is used to
describe characteristics of a
population or phenomenon being
studied. It does not answer
questions about how/when/why the
characteristics occurred
Example:

Academic Performance on Senior High School
Students
 HISTORICAL RESEARCH
A procedures supplementary to
observation in which the researcher
seeks to test the authenticity of the
reports or observations made by others.
The historical method is employed by
researchers who are interested in
reporting events and/or conditions that
occurred in the past.
 An attempt is made to establish facts
in order to arrive at conclusions
concerning past events or predict future
events.

 EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
An experiment is an investigation in which a
hypothesis is scientifically tested. In an
experiment, an independent variable (the cause)
is manipulated and the dependent variable (the
effect) is measured; any extraneous variables are
controlled. An advantage is that experiments
should be objective. The views and opinions of
the researcher should not affect the results of a
study. This is good as it makes the data
morevalid, and less bias.
