If we do educational research
based on the objectives of the specific detection and classification is
performed using, then we will have a basic and applied research.
Basic Research:
It is a kind of test, otherwise referred to as the main research related
to obtaining empirical data that can be used to formulate or extend evaluate
theory. Its main purpose is to expand the frontiers of knowledge, without
regard to practical application. It explores the relationship between
procedures, personal characteristics, environmental factors and learning
excellence to develop, describe, test and expand theories of learning. It is
not oriented design or purpose in the solution of practical problems. But the
results of these studies can be applied to practical problems social value.
Applied Research:
It is the application of the
principles and theories of fundamental research to solve educational problems.
It is a study conducted on the real problems that occur in the field and under
the conditions in which they practice. It is aimed at the immediate solution of
practical problems. The findings help educators to make a rational decision on
certain concrete issues. Applied research can be divided into three
subcategories:
i Action Research:
It was conducted by education
practitioners to solve their practical local problems. It is aimed at the
development of new skills, finding new answers or strategies to solve the
problems of the current care. It is practical and is directly related to an
actual life situation. It is empirical and based on actual observation and
realistic information or data rather than personal opinions or past
experiences.
ii Evaluation
Research:
It is used for educational
programs to improve their efficiency by making the necessary changes or
amendments judges. Therefore, a systematic evaluation of training programs in
several school systems to changes in demand and the Ministry of Education
policy is needed. Again, the transition from one education system to another
can be based on a systematic review.
iii Research and Development:
According Nkpa (1997), it is
related to the development and testing curricula, methods and materials
to ensure maximum efficiency of educational products and practices. The pilot
testing of the materials of the school curriculum issued by the former
Curriculum Evaluation and Adaptation Study Course (CESAC), which is now part of
the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) is an
example.
