Chapter 2 Research Design

The document defines research design as plans and procedures that span decisions from broad assumptions to detailed data collection and analysis methods. It provides a framework for determining what data is needed, what instruments will be used to collect the data, what techniques will be used to analyze the data, and what strategy will be used to draw conclusions. The document then discusses the importance of research design in ensuring smooth research operations and reliable results by providing advance planning of methods and giving direction to decision making.

Definition of Research Design

“Research designs are plans and procedures


for research that span the decisions from broad
assumptions to detailed methods of data
collection and analysis”.
It provides a framework to decide what data
are required, what instruments to use for their
collection, what techniques to use for their
analysis and what strategy to use to reach
conclusions.
Needs and importance
• Smooth sailing of research operations.
• Stands for advance planning of the methods.
• Data collection and analysis for research projects.
• Great bearing on reliability of the results.
• Helps to give directions.
• Helps in decision making.
• Research design prevent blind searching.
• Helps researchers to anticipate potential problems
in collecting data, tools, structure of the report, etc.
Important features
• Research design is a plan that is specify the sources and
types of information relevant to research problems
• It includes time and costs budgets
• It provides the clear statement of research problems
• It is a strategy specifying which approach will be used
collecting and analyzing data
• It contain procedures and techniques to be used in
collecting information
• It contain the population study for referencing the
problems
Factors affecting research planning and
design
• Defining the problems
• Reviewing the Literatures
• Hypothesis
• Evaluation criteria
• Procedures
• Analyzing and evaluation
Basic purposes and principles
Types of research design
I. Exploratory research design
II. Descriptive research design
• historical research
• Descriptive research
• Development research
• Survey research
• Case study research
III. Comparative research design
• Correlation research
• Causal comparative research
IV. Interventional research design
• True experimental research
• Quasi experimental research
V. Qualitative research design
Exploratory research design
• This type of design is used when a research is conducted to
know much about a phenomenon.
• The purpose:
 Diagnosing
 Screening alternatives
 Discovering new ideas
• Steps:
 Examining literature
 Interviewing and questioning
 Analyzing cases and qualitative data
 Preparing research report
Descriptive research design

• This type of design is used to describe characteristics of a population


or phenomenon being studied.
• It is used when the researcher has to answer about what rather
than to answer about how, when or how.
• Purposes:
 To observe
 To describe
 To Report
• Steps:
 Select a topic
 State objectives
 Design approach
 Collect, analyze and interpret data
 Report results
