PROCESS OF RESEARCH DESIGN
RESEARCH DESIGN
?
Research design is a set of advance decisions that make up the master plan specifying the methods and procedures for collecting and analyzing the needed information.
?
Every design has negative as well as positive sides.
The research design has been considered as a "blueprint" for research, dealing with at least four problems: what questions to study, what data are relevant, what data to collect, and how to analyze the results.
?
TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN
?
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH DESIGN CASUAL RESEARCH DESIGN DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN
?
?
Exploratory design
? ?
?
?
? ?
?
Exploratory design It is unstructured, informal research undertaken to gain background information about the general nature of the research problem. This research is used principally to gain a deeper understanding of something. The design is far more flexible and dynamic than that of descriptive research. Example For example, just because we know that 3G phones exist, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we understand how they work. This research help to understand how the phone work in a better way.
DESCRIPTIVE DESIGN
? ?
?
? ?
?
?
Descriptive research It is known as statistical research, describes data and characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. This research answers the questions who, what, where, when and how... This research deals with everything that can be counted and studied. ExampleFinding the most frequent disease that affects the children of a town. The reader of the research will know what to do to prevent that disease thus, more people will live a healthy life.
CASUAL DESIGN
?
The research is used to measure what impact a specific change will have on existing norms and allows market researchers to predict hypothetical scenarios upon which a company can base its business plan.
?
This research is a way of seeing how actions now will affect a business in the future.
? ?
Example
If a clothing company currently sells blue denim
jeans, causal research can measure the impact of the company changing the product design to the
color white.
?
Following the research, company bosses will be able to decide whether changing the color of the jeans to white would be profitable.
