Meaning and types of research

Research is the systematic inquiry undertaken to generate new knowledge or validate existing knowledge. Mastering its meaning and the various types—basic, applied, descriptive, exploratory, explanatory, correlational, experimental, and quasi‑experimental—enables students to design studies, choose appropriate methods, and correctly interpret results, all of which are central to the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
