TYPES OF RESEARCHDESIGN
Based on the aim of study, there are three types of research design :
5.
1) Exploratory ResearchDesign :
Exploratory research design aims to get a better understanding of the problem by
explaining the concepts and developing hypothesis regarding the research study.
Various techniques used in exploratory research study are literature survey. surveys,
focus groups, case studies, etc. Exploratory research does not emphasize upon
sampling, but tries to gather information from participants who are considered
knowledgeable.

2) Descriptive ResearchDesign :
Unlike exploratory research, the aim of descriptive research is to describe the
characteristics of a phenomenon is more rigid than exploratory research. It describes
various aspects related to a population. It is the study that is designed to depict the
population in much more accurate way. It attempts to describe, explain and interpret
the conditions in much detailed approach. It examines a phenomenon that is
occurring at a specific place and at specific time.

3) Experimental orCausal Research Design :
Experimental or Causal or Conclusive research design is a type of research design
which is predetermined and structured in nature. It is used for causal or conclusive
research, which is conducted quantitatively. It is called causal research, because it is
helpful in exploring the cause and effect relationship of a research problem. The
main objective of casual research is to test the hypothesis which were defined in the
exploratory Research Design. Causal research is simply opposite to the descriptive
research, as with the help of experimentation, it can interpret whether the
relationship is causal or not.
