LESSON 10 - RESEARCH APPROACHES: Basic Vs. Applied & Quantitative Vs. Qualitative Research Approach

In our last lesson, we have discussed philosophical assumptions and research philosophies. Todays lesson will discuss the approaches to social science research that emanates from the paradigms. Research Approaches are classified using various elements.
There are various research approaches but this lesson will discuss the two main approaches that are applicable in social science research. These are Basic Vs. Applied approach based on the utility of research findings and Quantitative and Qualitative approach based on the types of data collected.
Basic research is the type of research where the findings have no immediate use. It is used to develop principles, theories and laws and it is mainly theoretical. Applied research is the type of research that is aimed at solving a particular issue as experienced by the client. It seeks to alleviate current problems in various fields and is mostly concerned with end-usage.
Quantitative research is the type of research approach which collects numerical data while qualitative research is the type of research approach which collects narrative data. These approaches emanate from positivism and social-constructivism paradigm respectively.
Welcome as we explore more of these approaches.

[@abdirizaka.mohamed6194]

1 Is there a difference between approach and design?
2 is there a difference between science and social research in terms of design and approach?
Dr please answer me these two questions🙏

[@research-methods-class]

Approach is broader than design. Design helps you answer the research questions by allowing you to select sampling, measurement and analysis techniques. There is natural/hard science which is more experimental and social science that deals with societal problems

[@research-methods-class]

Thank you for your question. I use quite a number of books to prepare my notes so it is difficult to share them

[@ifrahabdirahman1315]

Thank you very much Dr
I have question about what is the difference between science research and arts research?

[@research-methods-class]

Hello Ifrah. We normally have social science research and natural science research. Im not sure we have Arts research unless you mean research done by a person pursuing an Art discipline.
