Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An applied research question seeks to solve a practical problem or answer a practical question, such as reducing energy consumption in an elementary school. Basic research, on the other hand, seeks to expand knowledge in a particular field without necessarily having a practical application in mind. Experimental and correlational research methods are types of research design, not types of research questions.
