Research Methodology on ELT 1

• What is Research?
• Why do Research (Objectives)?

8
What is meant by research?

• Refers to a search for knowledge/information is
  a scientific systematic search for pertinent
  information on a specific topic is an art of
  scientific investigation (Khotari, 2004)
• is a systematic investigation to find answers to
  a problem (Burns, 1994)
• Thus, what are the differences research and daily
  search of information?

9
What is meant by scientific / systematic?

• Research comprises defining and redefining
  problems, formulating hypothesis/suggested
  solutions collecting, organizing, and evaluating
  data making deductions reaching conclusions
  and at last carefully testing the conclusions to
  determine whether they fit the formulating
  hypothesis (Woody in Khotari, 2004)

10
Why do Research?

• Objectives
• Search for (problem) solutions
• Contribute to knowledge
• Test hypothesis

11
Types of research

• Descriptive vs. Analytical
• Applied vs. Fundamental
• Quantitative vs. Qualitative
• Conceptual vs. Empirical
• One-time research or longitudinal research
• Field-setting research or laboratory research or
  simulation research
• Clinical or diagnostic research

12
Research Approach

• Qualitative vs. Quantitative approaches
• Qualitative approach involves the generation of
  data in quantitative form which can be subjected
  to rigorous quantitative analysis in a formal and
  rigid fashion.
• Qualitative approach to research is concerned
  with subjective assessment of attitudes, opinions
  and behaviour
