    ‭Research can be classified into various types based on different criteria, including the‬

    ‭purpose, nature of the study, and methodology employed. Here are some common types of‬

    ‭research:‬

    ‭ asic Research (Pure Research): Conducted to enhance understanding of‬


    B
    ‭fundamental principles and to contribute to theoretical knowledge without immediate‬
    ‭practical applications.‬
    ‭Applied Researc‬‭h: Aimed at solving specific problems‬‭or addressing practical issues.‬
    ‭It involves the application of knowledge to real-world situations.‬
    ‭Quantitative Research‬‭: Involves the collection and‬‭analysis of numerical data to‬
    ‭identify patterns, relationships, or trends. It is often associated with statistical‬
    ‭analysis.‬
    ‭Qualitative Research:‬‭Focuses on non-numerical data‬‭such as words, feelings, or‬
    ‭experiences. It aims to explore and understand social phenomena in depth.‬
    ‭Descriptive Research:‬‭Involves the systematic description‬‭of characteristics or‬
    ‭behaviors without manipulating variables. It aims to provide an accurate portrayal of‬
    ‭a situation.‬
    ‭Exploratory Research:‬‭Conducted when a researcher‬‭is trying to explore a new topic‬
    ‭where little is known. It helps in formulating research questions and hypotheses for‬
    ‭further investigation.‬
    ‭Explanatory Research‬‭: Seeks to identify the causes‬‭and effects of a particular‬
    ‭phenomenon. It aims to explain why certain things occur.‬
    ‭Experimental Research‬‭: Involves manipulating one or‬‭more independent variables to‬
    ‭observe the effect on a dependent variable, with the goal of establishing‬
    ‭cause-and-effect relationships.‬
    ‭Non-Experimental Research‬‭: Research where variables‬‭are not manipulated, and‬
    ‭observations are made without introducing any treatment. Examples include‬
    ‭observational studies and surveys.‬
    ‭Cross-Sectional Research‬‭: Data is collected from participants‬‭at a single point in‬
    ‭time. It provides a snapshot of a population at a specific moment.‬
    ‭Longitudinal Research‬‭: Involves repeated observations‬‭or measurements of the‬
    ‭same individuals or groups over an extended period to track changes or‬
    ‭developments.‬
    ‭Action Research‬‭: Conducted by practitioners to solve‬‭specific problems in their own‬
    ‭work environment. It involves collaboration between researchers and participants.‬
    ‭Case Study Research:‬‭In-depth analysis of a single‬‭individual, group, event, or‬
    ‭situation. It provides a detailed, holistic understanding of the subject.‬
    ‭Historical Research‬‭: Involves the examination of past‬‭events, developments, or‬
    ‭phenomena to understand their significance and impact on the present.‬
    ‭Ethnographic Research:‬‭Immersion in a culture or social‬‭group to understand its‬
    ‭behaviors, beliefs, and practices. Researchers often participate in the daily lives of‬
    ‭the subjects.‬
    ‭ orrelational Research:‬‭Examines the relationship between two or more variables‬
    C
    ‭without manipulating them. It helps in identifying associations but does not establish‬
    ‭causation.‬

    ‭These categories often overlap, and researchers may employ multiple methods within a‬

    ‭single study. The choice of research type depends on the research question, objectives, and‬

    ‭the nature of the phenomenon under investigation.‬
