2. 01
CRITERIA OF A GOOD RESEARCH
Purpose of the research should be clearly defined and common
concepts be used.
Research procedure used should be described in sufficient detail to
permit another researcher to repeat the research for further
advancement.
Procedural design of the research should be carefully planned to
yield results that are as objective as possible.
3. 02
CRITERIA OF A GOOD RESEARCH
Researcher should report with complete frankness, flaws in
procedural design and estimate their effects upon the findings.
Analysis of data should be sufficiently adequate to reveal its
significance and the methods of analysis used should be appropriate.
The validity and reliability of the data should be checked carefully.
Conclusions should be confined to those justified by the data of the
research.
4. It is SYSTEMATIC.
It is LOGICAL.
It is EMPIRICAL.
It is REPLICABLE.
CRITERIA
OF A GOOD
RESEARCH
A good research has also
the following qualities:
5. Qualitative Methods Quantitative Methods
Is a method that collects data using
conversational methods, usually open-ended
questions. The responses collected are
essentially non-numerical.
Types of qualitative methods include: One-to-
one Interview, Focus Groups, Ethnographic
studies, Text Analysis and Case Study.
Deal with numbers and measurable forms. It
uses a systematic way of investigating
events or data. It answers questions to justify
relationships with measurable variables to
either explain, predict, or control a
phenomenon.
Types of quantitative methods include:
Survey, Descriptive, and Correlational
research
Back to Agenda 05
Research methods are broadly classified
as Qualitative and Quantitative.
Both methods have distinctive
properties and data collection methods.
TYPES OF RESEARCH METHODS
6. Basic
Research
Basic research is mainly concerned with generalizations and the formulation of
theory. It is driven by curiosity or interest in a subject. The main motivation is to
expand man’s knowledge, not to create or invent something.
Applied/
Development
Research
It involves practical problems of the society. It can be argued that the goal of
applied research is to improve the human condition.
Evaluative
Research
Evaluative research is a type of research used to evaluate a product or concept,
and collect data to help improve your solution.

TYPES OF RESEARCH (BASED ON PURPOSE)
7. Basic Research Applied Research
Research problems and subjects are selected
with a great deal of freedom.
Research is judged by absolute norms and
scientific rigor and the highest standard of
scholarship is sought.
The primary concern is with the internal logic
and rigor of research design.
The driving goal is to contribute to basic,
theoretical knowledge.
Success comes when results appear in a
scholarly journal and have an impact in the
scientific community.
Research problems are narrowly constrained
to the demands of client or the sponsor.
The rigor and standard of scholarship
depend on the uses of results.
The primary concern is with the ability to
generalize findings to areas of interest to
sponsor/client.
The driving goal is to have practical payoffs
or use of results.
Success comes when results are used by
sponsor/client in decision making.
Back to Agenda 05
BASIC RESEARCH VS. APPLIED RESEARCH
8. Historical Correlation
Case
Research design is a plan to
answer your research question. A
research method is a strategy
used to implement that plan.
Ex-post

Experimental
TYPES OF RESEARCH
(BASED ON METHOD)
Survey
Context Analysis
Descriptive
Research design and
methods are different but
closely related, because
good research design
ensures that the data you
obtain will help you
answer your research
question more effectively.
9. 1
Research is important for researchers in studying
social relationship and in seeking answers to various
social problems.
2
Research provides the basis for nearly all government
policies in our economic system.
3
Research has its special significance in solving various
operational and planning business and industry.
4
Research is needed to develop strategies and models
in rural development.
5
The role of research in several fields of applied
economics, whether related to business or to the
economy as a whole, has greatly increased in modern
items.
SIGNIFICANCE
OF RESEARCH
It refers to the
contribution(s) to and
impact of the study on a
research field. The
significance also signals who
benefits from the research
findings and how.
10. 6
Research inculcates scientific and inductive thinking
and it promotes the development of logical habits of
thinking and organization.
7
To students who are to write a Master's or PhD Thesis,
research may mean a way to attain a high position in
the social structure.
8
To professionals, research may mean a source of
livelihood.
9
To literary men and women, research may mean the
development of new style and creative work.
10
To analysts and intellectuals, research may mean the
generalizations of new theories.
