Used to obtain information concerning
the current status of a phenomena.
Purpose of these methods is to describe
“what exists” with respect to situational
variables.

5. Descriptive Research
Status descriptive survey
Explanatory descriptive studies

6. Descriptive Research Steps
Statement of the problem.
Identification of information.
Selection or development of data gathering
instruments.
Identification of target population and sample.
Design of information collection procedure.
Collection of information.
Analysis of information.
Generalization and/or predictions.

7. Survey Study
Survey studies assess the
characteristics of whole populations
of people or situations.

8. Analytical Research
Analytical research means carrying out
analysis on a phenomenon – Mostly
involves secondary data – ex-ante research-
before contemplated change

9. Analytical Research
 Reviews
 A critical account of present understanding
 A meta-analysis is a quantitative method of review
 Historical Research
 Accessing both primary (e.g. witnesses) or secondary
(e.g. literature) sources to document past events
 Philosophical Research
 Organising existing evidence into a comprehensive
theoretical model

10. Theory Of ResearchTheory Of Research

12. DefinitionDefinition
Descriptive Research
This describes phenomena as they exist. It is used to
identify and obtain information on the characteristics
of a particular issue
Analytical Research
Analytical research aims to understand phenomena
by discovering and measuring causal relations
among them

13. DifferencesDifferences
Descriptive Research Analytical Research
Fact-finding enquires and survey
methods
Ascertains and describes the
characteristics of the issue
Describes of the state of affairs as
it exists at present
No control over the
variables
Collected data is analyzed and
explained
Beyond merely describing the
characteristics
Explains existing state of affairs
from available data
Works within the constraints
