1 OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH METHODS
How are Research Methods Important? What is Descriptive Research? What is Relational Research? What is Explanatory Research?

2 How are Research Methods Important?
The method that is most appropriate depends on the hypothesis you wish to test The conclusions you can make depend on how you collect your data No single research study is conclusive

3 What is Descriptive Research?
Goal is to measure and describe variables. Observational Survey Archival Physical Traces Case Study

4 What is Relational Research?
Measure relationships between variables. Correlational Quasi-Experimental

5 What is Explanatory Research?
Experimental Designs Measure causal relationships Independent Variable is a variable the researcher manipulates Dependent Variable is a variable the researcher measures to determine the effect of the i.v.
