Q: How is research design classified?

1 Answer to this question
Answer:

There are three types of research design: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method.

Quantitative research involves collecting and analyzing numerical data, and is more used in medical and bio/life sciences.

Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data, and is more common in social sciences and humanities.

Mixed method, as the name suggests, involves using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, and is driven by the need of the research.
