There are two different sources of research Quantitative and Qualitative:
Quantitative - Where the research is based on numbers, statistics and data from large groups of people.
Qualitative - A type of research that attemps to explain or understand something, by usually discussing and analysising a series of data, which normally envolves small groups of people.
These then branch off into two types of research:
Primary Research
Audience reception research (focus groups, work experience, interviews, industry visits);
candidates’ own textual analysis and own critical responses/theses.
Secondary Research
Use of books/study guides and other library resources, such as newspapers, magazines, journals, video/DVD/television resources, existing research studies;
industry, academic and other related web sites etc.
So looking ahead , i feel that gathering primary research will help me notice the opinions of others towards the topic i tend to research. Whereas Secondary will also help me get other peoples views and helpful facts which will enable me to answer my hypothesis.
