There are 2 types of research in terms of the nature and purpose of the study. (1) Basic

other hand, applied research is designed to answer specific questions aimed at solving
practical problems. New knowledge acquired from applied research has specific

types of applied research. These are evaluation research, research and development,
and action research.
