DIFFERENT RESEARCH DESIGNS - We can categorize different research designs:
(3) Research design in case of hypothesis-testing research studies DIFFERENT RESEARCH DESIGN - We can categorize different research designs:
(1) Research design in case of exploratory research studies (2) Research design in case of descriptive and diagnostic research studies (3) Research design in case of hypothesis-testing research studies - Exploratory research studies are also termed as formulative research studies.
- The main purpose of such studies is that of formulating a problem for more precise investigation or of developing the working hypotheses from an operational point of view.
- The major emphasis in such studies is on the discovery of ideas and insights.
Three methods - (a) The survey of concerning literature
- (b) The experience survey
- (c) The analysis of “insight-stimulating” example
The survey of concerning literature - The survey of concerning literature happens to be the most simple and fruitful method of formulating precisely the research problem or developing hypothesis.
Hypotheses stated by earlier workers
Reviewed
Evaluated
Basis for further research
Suggest new hypotheses
=> In this way, the researcher should review and build upon the work already done by others
The experience survey - Experience survey means the survey of people who have had practical experience with the problem to be studied.
- The object of such a survey is to obtain insight into the relationships between variables and new ideas relating to the research problem.
- An experience survey may enable the researcher to define the problem more concisely and help in the formulation of the research hypothesis. This survey may as well provide information about the practical possibilities for doing different types of research.
The analysis of “insight-stimulating” example - Analysis of 'insight-stimulating examples is also a fruitful method for suggesting hypotheses for research.
- It is particularly suitable in areas where there is little experience to serve as a guide.
- This method consists of the intensive study of selected instances of the phenomenon in which one is interested.
