On a broader perspective, all researches can be classified into two groups: Qualitative research Quantitative research
Qualitative research:
It is research dealing with phenomena that are difficult or impossible to quantify mathematically, such as beliefs , meanings , attributes and symbols.
Quantitative research:
It refers to the systematic empirical investigation of any phenomena via statistical, mathematical or computational techniques.
Approaches of research:
There are mainly 2 types of approaches.
1.Quantitative approach:
It usually involves collecting and converting data into numerical form so that statistical calculations can be made and conclusions drawn.
2.Qualitative approach:
The approach adopted by qualitative researchers tends to be inductive which means that they develop a theory or look for a pattern of meaning on the basis of the data that they have collected.
3.Simulation approach
Importance of Research?
The main importance of research is to produce knowledge that can be
Research Process:
It is nothing but the Series of various actions, which are necessary to effective research work. Research process consist of a number of closely related activities. Various steps involved in a research process are not mutually exclusive; nor they are separate & distinct.

correction machinery.
Because of the cyclic nature of research, it can be difficult to determine where to start and when to stop.
