TYPES OF RESEARCH
Types of Research based on:

a. APPLICATION OF THE
RESEARCH METHOD
b. PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH
c. DATA NEEDED
BASED ON
APPLICATION
Whether research is applied to
THEORETICAL or PRACTICAL issues

TYPES
A. Pure/Basic Research
B. Applied Research
PURE / BASIC
• Deals with concepts,
RESEARCH
principles, or abstract things.
• Attempts to expand the limits
of knowledge.
• Not directly involved in the
solution to a pragmatic
problem.
• To contribute to the general
body of knowledge in a
PURE / BASIC
RESEARCH
APPLIED RESEARCH
• Applied to societal problems/issues,
and finding ways to make positive
changes in society.
• Focused on answering real-world,
practical questions to provide
relatively immediate solutions.
BASED ON PURPOSE

• Descriptive
• Correlational
• Explanatory
• Exploratory
• Action
DESCRIPTIVE
RESEARCH
• Aims at describing or giving a verbal portrayal or
picture of a person, thing, event, group,
situation, etc.
• Liable to repeated research because topics relate
only to a certain period/limited years.

Examples
• Consumers’ perception of the best phone to
purchase
• The Filipino street foods
• Common test-taking errors of high school students
CORRELATIONAL
RESEARCH
• Shows relationships or connectedness of
two factors, circumstances, or agents
• Concerned about the existence of
relationships not the causes & ways of
development

Examples
• Relationship between nutritional labels &
consumer buying behavior
• Age & Pregnancy outcomes
• English Skills and Mathematical skills
EXPLANATORY
RESEARCH
• Elaborates or explains not just the reasons
behind relationships but also ways by
which such relationship exists.

Examples
• Reasons behind the increasing
incidence of teenage pregnancy
• Factors influencing consumer SIM card
preference
EXPLORATORY
RESEARCH
• Determines the nature of the problem thus helping
to have a better understanding of the problem.
• Does not intend to offer final and conclusive
solutions to existing problems.
• Two forms: either a NEW TOPIC or a NEW ANGLE.

Examples
• Millennial marketing strategies
• Challenges of a nurse caring for a
pediatric cancer patient
ACTION RESEARCH
• Studies on the ongoing practice of a
school, organization, community, or
institution to obtain results that will
bring improvements to the system.

Examples
• A principal studying teacher burnout and
dissatisfaction in a local school context,
• A group of teachers studying classroom
discipline problems in their unique classrooms
BASED ON TYPES OF
DATA NEEDED

QUANTITATIV
E
QUALITATIVE
QUANTITATIVE
• RESEARCH
Concerned with the objective meaning thus
involves measurement of data
• Presents research results referring to the number
or frequency of something in numerical forms
• Can be subjected to statistical analysis

Examples
• The efficiency of a wind generator in
converting energy to electricity
• Best marketing strategies that improve
sales
QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
• Concerned with subjective meaning thus not
measurable
• Uses words rather than numbers to express the
results
• Commonly about peoples’ thoughts, beliefs,
feelings, views, and lifestyle

Example
• Experience of owners of small-scale businesses
that eventually becomes a big time business
