DESCRIPTIVE

Involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of the present nature, composition, or processes of phenomena.

Descriptive research is fact-finding with adequate interpretation. The descriptive method is something more and beyond just data-gathering: the latter is not reflective thinking nor research.

This follows logically after careful classification of data. Facts obtained may be accurate expressions of central tendency, or deviation, or of correlation; but the report is not research unless discussion of those data are not carried up to the level of adequate interpretation.

Descriptive research describes and interprets what is. It is concerned with conditions of relationships that exist: practices that prevail; beliefs, processes that are going on: effects that are being felt, or trends that are developing.

The process of descriptive research goes beyond mere gathering and tabulation of data. It involves the elements or interpretation of the meaning or significance of what is described.
