Research Method

Assalamu'alaykum wr, wb! 

Research method

I want something new. Research will provide it

The goal of the research process is to produce new knowledge or deepen understanding of a topic or issue. This process takes three main forms (although, as previously discussed, the boundaries between them may be obscure):

Exploratory research, which helps to identify and define a problem or question.

Constructive research, which tests theories and proposes solutions to a problem or question.

Empirical research, which tests the feasibility of a solution using empirical evidence.

There are two ways to conduct research:
Primary research: This research uses primary source, i.e., original documents and data.
Secondary research: This research uses secondary sources, i.e., a synthesis of, interpretation of, or discussions about primary sources.

There are two major research designs:
Qualitative research and Quantitative research. Researchers choose one of these two tracks according to the nature of the research problem they want to observe and the research questions they aim to answer:

Qualitative research
Understanding of human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior. Asking a broad question and collecting word-type data that is analyzed searching for themes. This type of research looks to describe a population without attempting to quantifiably measure variables or look to potential relationships between variables. It is viewed as more restrictive in testing hypotheses because it can be expensive and time consuming, and typically limited to a single set of research subjects. Qualitative research is often used as a method of exploratory research as a basis for later quantitative research hypotheses.

Quantitative research
Systematic empirical investigation of quantitative properties and phenomena and their relationships. Asking a narrow question and collecting numerical data to analyze utilizing statistical methods. The quantitative research designs are experimental, correlational, and survey (or descriptive). Statistics derived from quantitative research can be used to establish the existence of associative or causal relationships between variables.

I have finished Research Method lecture at fourth semester. The final project of this lecture is try to make the research proposal. Here, because someone wants me to share my result of making the proposal, I post this entry.
:)
Do you want to have my proposal.
Download. here
and here, if you want to get my friend proposal. (thank to Sri Surya Dewi and friends).
