QN.03 Research strategies
1.Experiment
Research strategy that involves the definition of a theoretical hypothesis; the
selection of samples of individuals from known populations; the allocation of
samples to different experimental conditions; the introduction of planned change
on one or more of the variables; and measurement on a small number of variables
and control of other variables. Experimental group is the group in an experiment
that receives the intervention in which researcher is interested.
2.Survey.
..Research strategy that involves the structured collection of data from a sizeable
population. Although the term ‘survey’ is often used to describe the collection of
data using questionnaires, it includes other techniques such as structured
observation and structured interviews.
3.Case study..
Research strategy that involves the empirical investigation of a particular
contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context, using multiple sources of
evidence.Research Strategies
4.Grounded theory
Research strategy in which theory is developed from data generated by a
series of observations or interviews principally involving an inductive approach.
5.Ethnography
Research strategy that focuses upon describing and interpreting the social
world through first-hand field study.
6.Action research
Research strategy concerned with the management of a change and
involving close collaboration between practitioners and researchers. The results
flowing from action research should also inform other contexts.
7.Archival research
Research strategy that analyses administrative records and documents as
principal source of data because they are products of day-to-day activities
QNO.01 TYPES OF RESEARCH .
BASIC RESEARCH. . Aims to anhance the understanding of problems that
commonly accur.
for example; an investigate looking at stress level influence how to often student
engage in academic cheating.
It important for huminity to understand the word we live. Basic research seeks
answers foundemental question to provide broad to many different scientific field.
Applied research. Done with the intention of applying results to specific
problems. Applied is consideres to be non systematic inquiry and it usually
launched by the company agency or individual in order to address the specific
problem.
This scientific method of study and research is used in business, medicine, and
education in order to find solutions that may improve health, solve scientific
problems or develop new technology.
Exploratory research. As an intial research conducted to clarify and define the
nature of a problem Is a valuable means of finding out what is happening and
gaining insights to assess phenomen is new light. Researchers use exploratory
research when trying to gain familiarity with an existing phenomenon and acquire
new insight into it to form a more precise problem. It begins based on a general
idea and the outcomes of the research are used to find out related issues with the
topic of the research.
Descriptive research. A research designed to described the characteristics of

population or phenomena some understanding of the nature of the problem
In other words, descriptive research primarily focuses on describing the nature of a
demographic segment, without focusing on “why” a certain phenomenon occurs.
In other words, it “describes” the subject of the research, without covering “why” it
happens.
Explanatory research. Causal research when the aim to ascertain the cause and
effect associations among different variables the problem area has already been
narrowes down by previous studies causal research has its roots in the exploratory
and descriptive research.
Explanatory research is not used to give us some conclusive evidence but helps us
in understanding the problem more efficiently. When conducting the research, the
researcher should be able to adapt himself/herself to the new data and the new
insight.
QNO.04 POPULATION.
your population is the broader group of people to whom you intend to generalize
the results of your study. Your sample will always be a subset of your population.
Your exact population will depend on the scope of your study. For instance, say
your research question asks if there is an association between emotional
intelligence and job satisfaction in nurses. In this case, your population might be
nurses in the United States. However, if the scope of your study is more narrow
(e.g., if your study deals with a local problem or a specific specialty/industry), then
your population would be more specific, such as “nurses in the state of Florida” or
“licensed practical nurses in the United States.
2. Sampling Frame
Sampling frame is the list of subjects/people under the study, such as household,,
students, teachers, principals and so forth. The list should be comprehensive as well
as latest. For example, Telephone directory, Students data base from department of
school education, list of school principal from the official website of concern
department and so forth.
3. Sample Size .
As name indicates sample size is the total number of sample selected for the study.
For example, it is the number of teachers, students or stakeholders from a
researcher intended to collect information regarding his research questions. There
is no notion about the minimum or maximum number of sample; instead the
sample size should be optimum. Usually the sample size is denoted by the letter
(n).
4. Sampling Error
The variation between the means of sample groups as well as population mean is
called sampling error. It can be understood through the following example. A
researcher planned to conduct a study on Emotional Intelligence of secondary
school 3 students in Telungana state. Definitely the researcher has to selects
accurate representation or optimum sample from the large population of his study.
Suppose the researcher has selected ten groups or samples each consisting of 200
students from same population. He administered his research tool in each sample,
collected the data, organized, scored and found the mean scores of each group.
