VI. Concept Notes
Research in Different Areas of Knowledge

Research happens in any field of knowledge. Anthropology, Business,
Communication, Education, Engineering, Law, and Nursing, among others, turn in a
big number of researches that reflect varied interests of people. Belonging to a certain
area of discipline, you have the option to choose which approach to execute
quantitative, qualitative or the mixed method.
For instance, in the field of medicine, to produce a new drug, a researcher
subjects the data to a controlled laboratory experiment. The data are recorded in
numerical forms such as numbers, percentages, fractions and the like. Hence,
research of this kind is quantitative in nature. In the field of Humanities, on the other
hand, data are collected to discover the real concept of meaning behind people’s
lifestyles and social relations. Using words rather than numbers as the unit of analysis,
the data collected represent personal views, attitudes, thoughts, emotions and other
subjective traits of people in a natural setting. Gathering data through the subjective-
prone research method indispensably results in qualitative research.
Nonetheless, note that the two research methods can go together in a research
approach called triangulation or the mixed method. This approach to research
allows a combination or mixture of research design, data collection, and data analysis
techniques. Thus, there is no such thing as a clear dichotomy between qualitative and
quantitative research methods.
Below are research topics in different areas of interest where the quantitative
approach, qualitative approach or mixed method may be applied:
 Animals and Animal Rights

Consider animal testing in relation to animal rights. Do the benefits
of animal testing outweigh the suffering of laboratory animals or not? This
topic could be wide and general or very closely focused on one kind of
animal or the testing that takes place in a single laboratory.
 Art and Art History

The importance (or perhaps role) of illustrations in children’s books.
A selection of different examples to differentiate or a close focus on a
particular book, series or author would prove effective.
 Computers and Computer Science

Do spell checkers, grammar checkers and autocorrect functions
strengthen or weaken the writing skills of computer users? Consider more
than one of these tools in the investigation.
 Economics and Business

In what ways and to what degree do social media and networking
sites function as instruments for business promotion?
 Education and Schools

Bullying occurs in the schools of many countries. How serious do you
think the problem is in your area, and what, if anything, could be done to
improve the situation?
 Environmental Studies
Learn all you can about an endangered wildlife species or group in
your locality. Consider the current state of the animals, the reasons why they
have become endangered and the actions that have been used and could
be used to increase their chances of survival.
 Food and Nutrition
How have fast-food restaurants affected family nutrition and health?
Should the menus of such restaurants be regulated?
 Religion and Beliefs

Are dreams meaningful or simply games of the sleeping mind?
Research a variety of perspectives on the matter and consider the possible
functions and causes of dreams such as prophecy, therapy, eating before
bed or falling asleep in an anxious or troubled state.

3. Quantitative is to scientific approach; is to naturalistic
approach.

_____3. Past events in a person’s life are the focus of triangulation.
_____4. It is necessary for the qualitative researcher to conduct his or her study in a
laboratory.

Task 3. Which Word makes it False? Read each statement carefully. Write the word
or group of words that makes or make the statement false. Use a separate sheet for
your answers.
1. Research happens in just one field of knowledge.

2. Qualitative data are usually dispersed in homes, playgrounds, workplaces,
or schools.
3. Research authorities argue that quantitative and qualitative approaches
reinforce or strengthen each other.
4. Man’s thoughts and feelings take center stage in any research.
5. Subjectivity and objectivity are inseparable.

the lesson, a quotation is given below. Figure out the point of view behind the quotation
– and make justifications when necessary. Use a separate sheet for your explanations.
“A century ago, astronomers, geologists, chemists, physicists,
each had an island of his own, separate and distinct from that of every
other student of Nature; the whole field of research was then an
archipelago of unconnected units. To-day all the provinces of study have
risen together to form a continent without either a ferry or a bridge.”
- George Iles
Task 12. Muddiest Point. Write down the most difficult or confusing part of the lesson.
