The Experimental research design is carried out in 2 contexts:

experiments are

carried out in an enclosed space

with controlled conditions, by

testing the different variables

with specialized equipment and

material.

• Laboratory

• Field

The Experimental research design is carried out in 2 contexts:

experiments are studies

carried out in a more realistic

situation.

• laboratoty

• field

A prototype is an early or preliminary model of a product or system

that is used to prove and evaluate its functionality, design and

characteristics before mass production

• true

• false

Ethnographic designs:

• analyze and explain how certain cultures

  function.

• explore, describe and understand

analyze people's life stories and experiences

• Action research designs:

• Narrative designs:

Qualitative Research Designs:

explore, describe and understand

people's experiences of a phenomenon

• Phenomenological designs:

• Ethnographic designs

Qualitative Research Designs

understand and solve a problem.

• Action research designs:

• Narrative designs:

Qualitative Research Designs

study a case in depth in order to solve it

• Action research designs

• Case studies
