Thoughts on the Video and Lesson: Purposes of Research

The video is quite informative. As much as it has a broad title, Purposes of research, the video does much more than explain the purposes of research. The speaker explains the different types of research and their purposes. For example, the speaker mentions that basic research simply explains a phenomenon, whereas applied research details how a phenomenon affects a specific demographic (Center for Research Quality, 2015). The video is quite helpful more so when one is deciding the kind of research or study that they want to take part in. The speaker mentions five different types of research and how they work. The five research mentioned are basic, applied, summative, formative, and action research.

Other than mentioning the purpose and the types of research, the speaker shares the interrelation of the five purposes of research. Through the chemical dependency example that the speaker mentions, one can see how basic research can develop into formative research and also how action research comes about. I was particularly intrigued by that action research is a study that is intended to provide a solution for an immediate and pressing issue which is quite different from what I thought it was. Individuals starting on research must watch the video to understand what research is and how it happens.

Response to Tom

Hello Tom, just like you, I agree that the video is quite informative. It offers a lot of information on the purpose of research and the different types of research. I am happy that you have identified the video to be a useful tool when starting your research. I would also recommend the video to all newbies in research.
