Objectives of Research

Research - 

  • Main Goal of Research: To find answers to questions using scientific methods. Basically, to discover the truth about things we don't know yet.

  • Specific Research Goals (Different Types of Research): Even though every research project is unique, most research aims can be grouped into these types:

    • Exploratory Research (or Formulative Research):

      • Goal: To get to know something new or understand it better. To gain familiarity with a topic or get new insights.

      • When to use it: When you don't know much about something and want to explore it and learn the basics.

      • Think of it like: Exploring a new place for the first time. You're just trying to get a feel for it, see what's there, and understand the landscape.

    • Descriptive Research:

      • Goal: To describe something accurately. To show the characteristics of a person, a place, a situation, or a group.

      • When to use it: When you want to paint a clear picture of what something is like, who is involved, what's happening.

      • Think of it like: Writing a detailed description of a person, like their appearance, personality, habits, etc. Or describing what a particular event was like.

    • Diagnostic Research:

      • Goal: To find out how often something happens or if it's connected to something else. To determine the frequency or associations.

      • When to use it: When you want to understand how common something is, or if two things are related.

      • Think of it like: A doctor diagnosing a patient. They want to figure out what's wrong (the problem) and how often this problem occurs, and what might be causing it. For example, how often do people in a city get a certain disease, and is it linked to pollution levels?

    • Hypothesis-Testing Research:

      • Goal: To test if a guess (hypothesis) is true about a cause-and-effect relationship between things (variables).

      • When to use it: When you have a specific idea about why something is happening and you want to see if your idea is correct.

      • Think of it like: A scientist testing a theory. "I think if I do X (change variable A), then Y will happen (variable B will change)." They do an experiment to see if their guess is right. For example, "If I give plants more fertilizer, will they grow taller?"

  • In Simple Words: Research has different goals depending on what you want to find out. You might want to just explore a new topic (exploratory), describe something in detail (descriptive), figure out how often something happens or what it's related to (diagnostic), or test if your idea about cause and effect is correct (hypothesis-testing). Each type of research helps us answer different kinds of questions and learn more about the world.
