3. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon -- exploratory
research studies;
To portray characteristics of a particular individual, situation
or a group - descriptive research studies;
To determine the frequency of occurrence of a phenomena
-- diagnostic research studies;
To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between
variables -- hypothesis-testing research studies.
4. Research inculcates scientific and inductive
thinking and it promotes the development of
logical habits of thinking and organizational
development and therefore national growth.

6. Research methodology includes research
methods and the logic behind the methods we
use in the context of our research study and
explain why we are using a particular method or
technique and why we are not using others so
that research results are capable of being
evaluated either by the researcher or analysts

9. A priori knowledge is knowledge that is known
independently of experience (that is, it is non-empirical,
or arrived at beforehand, usually by
reason). It will henceforth be acquired through
anything that is independent from experience.
A posteriori knowledge is knowledge that is
known by experience (that is, it is empirical, or
arrived at afterward).
10. Ontology is the philosophical study of the
nature of being, becoming, existence,
or reality, as well as the basic categories of
being and their relations.
11. Epistemology is the study of the nature and scope
of knowledge and is also referred to as "theory of
knowledge". Much of the debate in this field has
focused on the nature of knowledge and how it relates
to connected notions such as truth, belief,
and justification.
The term "epistemology" was introduced by the
Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier (1808–
1864).[3]
12. In science and epistemology (the theory of
knowledge), a paradigm is a distinct concept or
thought pattern.

13. Deductive reasoning starts out with a general
statement, or hypothesis, and examines the
possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion.
The scientific method uses deduction to test
hypotheses and theories.
Inductive reasoning makes broad generalizations
from specific observations. Even if all of the premises
are true in a statement, inductive reasoning allows for
the conclusion to be false.
