This research methods mind map, titled 'Research is applied or basic', systematically categorizes over 20 research approaches including Experimental, Correlational, Causal-comparative, Survey Research, Ethnographic, Historical, Biography, Phenomenology, Case Study, Grounded Theory, Action Research, Mixed-Methods, and Meta-Analysis. It also covers sampling techniques such as Simple Random Sample, Systematic Sampling, Cluster Random Sampling, and purposive sampling. The template contrasts quantitative methods ('Concerned with asking how well, how much') with qualitative methods ('Measures of more complete picture'), making it a comprehensive cheat sheet for students and researchers. Key nodes like 'target population rarely accessible, accessible pop is' and 'imp to describe characteristics of actual sample studied in some detail due to attrition' highlight practical sampling challenges. This Xmind template serves as a structured overview of research design and methodology.
