esearch to improve his competence and produce

graduates who respond to the socioeconomic de
velopment of the country and can compete with
other graduates of the world.

onsive to the economic development of th
e country and compete globally.

TYPES OF RESEARCH
1. Basic Research It seeks to discover basi
c truths or principles. It is intended to add
to the body of scientific knowledge by expl
oring the unknown to extend the boundari
es of knowledge as well as to discover new
facts, and learn more accurately the chara
cteristics of known without any particular t
hought as to immediate practical utility.

TYPES OF RESEARCH
2. Applied Research involves seeking new
applications of scientific knowledge to the
solution of a problem such as the develop
ment of new system or procedure, new de
vice, or new method, in order to solve the
problem.
Produces knowledge of practical use to ma
n.

TYPES OF RESEARCH
3. Developmental research this is a decisi
on-oriented research involving the applica
tion of the steps of the scientific method i
n response to an immediate need to impr
ove existing practices.
If a researcher continues to find practical
applications from theoretical knowledge a
nd use this existing knowledge to produce
useful products.

CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH
1. Library Research this is done in the libr
ary where answers to specific questions or
problems of the study are available.
2. Field research research is conducted i
n a natural setting.

CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH
3. Laboratory research this is conducted i
n artificial or controlled conditions by isola
ting the study in a thoroughly specified an
d equipped area.

The Variable

defined as a quantity susceptible of fluctu

ation or change in value or magnitude und
er different conditions.

Types of Variable
1. Independent Variable this is the stimul
us variable which is chosen by the researc
her to determine its relationship to an obs
erved phenomenon.

Types of Variable

2. Dependent Variable this is the response

variable which is observed and measured t
o determine the effect of the independent
variable. It changes when independent var
iable changes.

Types of Variable
3. Moderator Variable this is a secondary
or special type of independent variable ch
osen by the researcher to determine if it c
hanges or modifies the relationships betw
een the independent and dependent varia
bles.

Types of Variable
4. Control Variable a variable controlled b
y the investigator in which the effects can
be neutralized by eliminating or removing
the variable.
5. Intervening Variable a variable which in
terferes with the independent and depend
ent variables, but its effects can either stre
ngthen or weaken the independent and de
pendent variables.
