Why is research important?
•The main purpose of research is to inform action, to prove a
theory, and contribute to developing knowledge in a field or
study.
Research Design
•Research design is the framework of research methods and
techniques chosen by a researcher. The design allows
researchers to hone in on research methods that are suitable
for the subject matter and set up their studies up for success.
•The design of a research topic explains the type of research
(experimental, survey, correlational, semi-experimental,
review) and also its sub-type (experimental design, research
problem, and descriptive case-study).
Three main types of research design
•Data collection
•Measurement
• Analysis
•The type of research problem an organization is facing will
determine the research design and not vice-versa. The design
phase of a study determines which tools to use and how they
are used.
The essential elements of the research design are:
1. Accurate purpose statement
2. Techniques to be implemented for collecting and analyzing research
3. The method applied for analyzing collected details
4. Type of research methodology
5. Probable objections for research
6. Settings for the research study
7. Timeline
8. Measurement of Analysis
Research Design
•Proper research design sets your study up for success.
Successful research studies provide insights that are
accurate and unbiased. You’ll need to create a survey
that meets all of the main characteristics of a design.
There are four key characteristics of research
design:
•When you set up your study, you may have to make
assumptions about the data you expect to collect. The
results projected in the research design should be free from
bias and neutral. Understand opinions about the final
evaluated scores and conclusions from multiple individuals
and consider those who agree with the derived results.
Neutrality
There are four key characteristics of research
design:
•With regularly conducted research, the researcher
involved expects similar results every time. Your
design should indicate how to form research
questions to ensure the standard of results. You’ll
only be able to reach the expected results if your
design is reliable.
Reliability
There are four key characteristics of research
design:
•There are multiple measuring tools available.
However, the only correct measuring tools are
those which help a researcher in gauging results
according to the objective of the research. The
questionnaire developed from this design will then
be valid.
Validity
There are four key characteristics of research
design:
•The outcome of your design should apply to a population
and not just a restricted sample. A generalized design
implies that your survey can be conducted on any part of a
population with similar accuracy. The above factors affect
the way respondents answer the research questions and so
all the above characteristics should be balanced in a good
design.
Generalization
Research Methods
•Qualitative research determines relationships between
collected data and observations based on mathematical
calculations. Theories related to a naturally existing
phenomenon can be proved or disproved using statistical
methods. Researchers rely on qualitative research design
methods that conclude “why” a particular theory exists along
with “what” respondents have to say about it.
Qualitative research design
Research Methods
•Quantitative research is for cases where statistical
conclusions to collect actionable insights are essential.
Numbers provide a better perspective to make critical
business decisions. Quantitative research design methods are
necessary for the growth of any organization. Insights drawn
from hard numerical data and analysis prove to be highly
effective when making decisions related to the future of the
Quantitative research design
Five Categories of Research Design
1. Descriptive research design: In a descriptive design, a researcher is solely
interested in describing the situation or case under their research study. It is
a theory-based design method which is created by gathering, analyzing, and
presenting collected data. This allows a researcher to provide insights into
the why and how of research. Descriptive design helps others better
understand the need for the research. If the problem statement is not
clear, you can conduct exploratory research.
2. Experimental research design: Experimental research design establishes a
relationship between the cause and effect of a situation. It is a causal
design where one observes the impact caused by the independent variable
on the dependent variable.
Five Categories of Research Design
3. Correlational research design: Correlational research is a non-experimental
research design technique that helps researchers establish a relationship
between two closely connected variables.
4. Diagnostic research design: In diagnostic design, the researcher is looking
to evaluate the underlying cause of a specific topic or phenomenon. This
method helps one learn more about the factors that create troublesome
situations.
•This design has three parts of the research:
•Inception of the issue
•Diagnosis of the issue
•Solution for the issue
Five Categories of Research Design
5. Explanatory research design: Explanatory design uses a
researcher’s ideas and thoughts on a subject to further explore
their theories. The research explains unexplored aspects of a
subject and details about what, how, and why of research
questions.
Data-collecting instruments
Data collection is an important step in the research process. The instrument
you choose to collect the data will depend on the type of data you plan on
collecting (qualitative or quantitative) and how you plan to collect it.
•A number of common data-collecting instruments are used in
construction research: Questionnaires
•Interviews Observations
•Archival documents and government sources
•Laboratory experiments Quasi experiment
•Scales (measuring and weighing tapes)
Data-collecting instruments
Questionnaires
•The questionnaire is a tool designed for the collection of
quantitative data, and is widely used in construction
research as it is a good research instrument for collecting
standardized data and making generalizations.
•Questionnaires can provide quick responses but adequate
care must be taken when developing questionnaires, to
ensure you don’t influence the response you receive.
Data-collecting instruments
Observation
•It is a systematic data- collecting technique that
involves watching individuals in their natural
environment or in a naturally occurring situation.
ACTIVITY
Directions:
•Prepare a topic for your
research.
-Determine the purpose.
-Identify the benefits
-Why is it worth to study?
-What possible methodology you
need to have a desirable results?
-What is your hypothesis?
Criteria:
•Exercise….
Directions:
Thank You! Have a blissful day
