SEMESTER 1-M.ARCH (PROFESSIONAL) YEAR V-2016/17 ABP 3101-RESEARCH METHODS 1 PURPOSES OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Purposes of research differ among various fields as well as according to the types of research carried out within established disciplinary boundaries. There are generally two types of research: basic or pure research and applied research. Basic research explains the world around us and tries to understand how the universe operates. It is about finding out what is already there without any greater purpose of research than the explanation itself. It is a direct descendent of philosophy, where philosophers and scientists try to understand the underlying principles of existence. Whilst offering no direct benefits, basic research often has indirect benefits, which can contribute greatly to the advancement of humanity. For example, pure research into the structure of the atom has led to structural glass, x-rays, nuclear power and silicon chips. The primary purposes of basic research are documentation, discovery, interpretation or development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Applied research seeks answers to specific questions that help humanity, for example medical research, urban studies or environmental studies. Such research generally takes a specific question and tries to find a definitive and comprehensive answer. The purpose of applied research is about testing theories, often generated by pure science, and applying them to real life situations. Applied scientific research can be about finding out the answer to a specific problem, such as 'Is global warming avoidable?' or 'Does a new type of medicine really help the patients? From these general descriptions we can deduce that research is used to: (1) establish or confirm facts, (2) reaffirm the results of previous research work, (3) solve new or existing problems, (4) support theorems, or develop new theories, (5) expansion on past work in the field, (6) test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, and/or, (7) replicate elements of prior projects, or the projects. CLASSIFICATIONS OF RESEARCH Several categories of research exist in diverse fields of study today: (1) Scientific research is a way to produce knowledge, which is based on objective truth and attempts to be universal. In other words science is a method, a procedure to produce knowledge i.e. discovering universalities/principles, laws, and theories through the process of observation and re-observation.

Principles of Research in Education is written principally but not exclusively for Education students and lecturers. Both novices and specialists in education research, economics, sociology, psychology, management business and social research in general will find it very useful. The booklet is presented in a way that it will generate interest and motivate the learning of appropriate principles of research methods, particularly as it applies to education. The booklet is simply an attempt by the authors to help researchers and lecturers see the end of research from the beginning. It has been written with particular consideration for those who may undertake research in the context of limited library resources or interaction with other researchers, as is commonly the case in Africa. It is designed to be used as an introductory text and as a focused guide for students who are beginning to develop and conceptualize their topics, proposal and final research reports, while supervisor of research will also find some hints useful in the booklet about how best to assess their students’ research work. It is the hope of the authors that the handbook will form a necessary and useful tool for students (and other researchers) working on their research projects for the first time and those that needed to update their knowledge about research methods. It would not be out of place for the authors to express their sincere thanks to all those who have been instrumental, openly or covertly, in the realization of this handbook. There are friends and colleagues, without whose varied nature of support, this guide would not have been written. We are particularly indebted to Mrs. Titilayo Soji –Oni, Dr. TPL A. A. Udida, Dr. Blessing Adeoye, Prof. Joel Babalola, and all our past and present students at the Faculty of Education University of Lagos and University of Calabar, for their useful guidance and support. And there are many more others to whom we are heavily indebted for their encouragement and useful advice.
