Today, we talked about the different types of research. In explanatory research, we connect our hypotheses and expectations to what we actually observed. In descriptive research, we our simply observing patterns. Finally, in exploratory research, we observe then inquire about what we observed.
Similarly, the data for your research can be collected through a variety of methods, including:
Ethnographic: participant observation, interviewing
Survey: asking questions to a sample of a population
Experiment: intervening and changing variables
Archival: examining patterns left behind
