Developmental research is a study focused on the progressive changes that occur as the process develops. Descriptive research is concerned with describing the conditions or relationships that are in existence, practices that are prevalent, beliefs, opinions or attitudes that are held, processes that are underway, effects that are being experienced, or trends that are emerging. Action research is a structured process to identify, examine, and improve aspects of a particular practice or a reflective process of progressive problem solving that enables improvement at every stage. Philosophical research involves the qualitative process of collection and in-depth critical analysis of extensive narrative data on many variables over an extended period.
