TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN


Research designs are basically classified into two, namely:
a) Exploratory
b) Descriptive

A. Exploratory research design
Exploratory research design applies when the research objectives include the following:
a.   identifying problems
b. developing a more precise formulation of a vaguely identified problem
c. gaining perspective regarding the breath of variables operating in a situation
d. establishing priorities regarding the potential significance of various problems
e. gaining management and researcher perspective concerning the character of the problem situation
f.  identifying and formulating alternative courses of action; and
g. gathering information on the problems associated with doing conclusive research.
h. identification of problems  can be assisted through the following:
     i)   Searching secondary sources
     ii)  Interviewing knowledgeable persons
     iii) Compiling case histories.

B. Descriptive Research Design:
Descriptive research encompasses much government sponsored research including the population census, the collection of a wide range of social indicators and economic information such as household expenditure patterns, time use studies, employment and crime statistics and the like.

Descriptions can be concrete or abstract. A relatively concrete description might describe the ethnic mix of a community, the changing age profile of a population or the gender mix of a workplace. Alternatively, the description might ask more abstract questions such as `Is the level of social inequality increasing or declining?', `How secular is society?' or `How much poverty is there in this community?'

Accurate descriptions of the level of unemployment or poverty have historically played a key role in social policy reforms (Marsh, 1982). By demonstrating the existence of social problems, competent description can challenge accepted assumptions about the way things are and can provoke action.


REFERENCING IN RESEARCH

Academic writing relies on more than just the ideas and experience of one or more authors. It also uses the ideas and research of other sources: books, journal articles, websites, and so forth. These other sources may be used to support the author's ideas, or the author may be discussing, analysing, or critiquing other sources.

Referencing is used to tell the reader where ideas from other sources have been used in an assignment. There are many reasons why it is important to reference sources correctly:
·         It shows the reader that you can find and use sources to create a solid argument
·         It properly credits the originators of ideas, theories, and research findings
·         It shows the reader how your argument relates to the big picture

What information do I need in referencing?
Whenever you take notes, or make a photocopy/print-out of information that you intend to use in your work, make sure that you make a full record of its source. It is always far more difficult and time-consuming to look up references later. The information that you will generally need is: 

For a book
Author or editor
Title of book
Year of publication
Place of publication
Publisher

For a journal article or book chapter
Author of article/chapter
Title of article/chapter
Year of publication
