Applied research is a form of systematic inquiry involving the practical application of science. It accesses and uses some part of the research communities' (the academia's) accumulated theories, knowledge, methods, and techniques, for a specific, often state-, business-, or client-driven purpose.
Applied vs basic research - Research Methodology - Manu Melwin Joy manumelwin
When discussing research methodology, it is important to distinguish between applied and basic research. Applied research examines a specific set of circumstances, and its ultimate goal is relating the results to a particular situation. That is, applied research uses the data directly for real world application.

Exploratory research - Research Methodology - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
Exploratory research is research conducted for a problem that has not been clearly defined. It often occurs before we know enough to make conceptual distinctions or posit an explanatory relationship. Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data collection method and selection of subjects.
Research Objective
Research is an organized investigation of a problem in which there is an attempt to gain solution to a problem.
To get right solution of a right problem, clearly defined objectives are very important.
Clearly defined objectives enlighten the way in which the researcher has to proceed.
What is Research Objective?
A research objective is a clear, concise, declarative statement, which provides direction to investigate the variables.
Generally research objective focus on the ways to measure the variables , such as to identify or describe them.
Sometime objectives are directed towards identifying the relationship or difference between two variables.
Research objective are the results sought by the researcher at the end of the research process, i.e. what the researcher will be able to achieve at the end of the research study.
The objectives of a research project summarize what is to be achieved by the study.
Objective should be closely related to the statement of the problem.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Research objectives is a concrete statement describing what the research is trying to achieve. A well-worded objective will be SMART, i.e Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, & Time-bound.
Research objective should be Relevant, Feasible, Logical, Observable, Unequivocal & Measurable.
Objective is a purpose that can be reasonably achieved within the expected timeframe &with the available resources.
The objective or research project summarizes what is to be achieved by the study.
The research objectives are the specific accomplishment the researchers hopes to achieve by the study
The objective include obtaining answers to research questions or testing the research hypothesis.
Why need Research Objectives?
The formulation of research objectives will help researcher to:
With clearly defined objectives, the researchers can focus on the study.
Avoid the collection of data which are not strictly necessary for understanding & solving problem that he or she has defined.
The formulation of objectives organize the study in clearly defined parts or phases.
Properly formulated, specific objectives will facilitate the development of research methodology & will help to orient the collection, analysis, interpretation, &utilization of data.
Types of Research Objectives
General Objective
General objectives are broad goals to be achieved.
The general objectives of the study state what the researcher expects to achieve by the study in general terms.
General objectives are usually less in number.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. Applied research
• Applied research is a form of
systematic inquiry involving
the practical application of
science. It accesses and uses
some part of the research
communities' (the
academia's) accumulated
theories, knowledge,
methods, and techniques,
for a specific, often state-,
business-, or client-driven
purpose.
4. Applied research
• “Applied research aims at
finding a solution for an
immediate problem
facing a society, or an
industrial/business
organisation, whereas
fundamental research is
mainly concerned with
generalisations and with
the formulation of a
theory” (Kothari, 2008,
p.3).
5. Applied research
• Since applied research
focuses on taking the
results of scientific
research and utilizing it
directly in real world
situations, those who
work in this line of
research tend to be more
concerned with the
external validity of their
work.
6. Applied research
• External validity refers to the
extent that scientific findings
can be generalized to other
populations. Researchers
don't just want to know if
the results of their
experiments apply to the
participants in their studies.
They want these results to
also apply to larger
populations outside of the
lab.
7. Applied research
• "Because applied research
investigates realistic
problems, applied
researchers are often
concerned with the external
validity of their studies. This
means that they attempt to
observe behaviors that can
be applied to real-life
situations," explains Dawn
M. McBride in The Process of
Research in Psychology. "
8. Examples
• A few examples of applied
research in psychology
include:
– Investigating which treatment
approach is the most
effective for reducing anxiety
– Researching which strategies
work best to motivate
workers
– Studying different keyboard
designs to determine which is
the most efficient and
ergonomic.
– Analyzing what type of
prompts will inspire people to
volunteer their time to
charities
9. Examples
• The following are examples for
applied research:
– A study into the ways of
improving the levels of customer
retention for Wall-Mart.
– An investigation into the ways of
improving employee motivation
in Marriot Hotel, Hyde Park.
– Development of strategies to
introduce change in Starbucks
global supply-chain
management with the view on
cost reduction.
– A study into the ways of
fostering creative deviance
amongst employees without
compromising respect for
authority.
10. Solving real life problems
• What are some examples of
how applied research is used to
solve real-world problems?
– A hospital might conduct
applied research on how to
prepare patients for certain
types of surgical procedures.
– A business might hire an applied
psychologist to assess how to
design a workplace console to
maximize efficiency and
productivity while minimizing
worker fatigue and error.
– An organization might hire an
applied researcher to determine
how to select employees that
are best suited for certain
positions within the company.
