Materials. (4) help to understand the whole picture of things.
Empirical research methods
Empirical research method is a special form of scientific practice research. According to the needs of existing scientific theory and practice, the design and use of scientific instruments are put forward.
Under natural conditions, instruments and equipment are operated purposefully and step by step according to observing, recording and measuring the changes of accompanying phenomena.
The activity of determining the causal relationship between conditions and phenomena. The main purpose is to explain the relationship between various independent variables and a dependent variable.
Quantitative analysis method
In scientific research, quantitative analysis can make people understand the research object more accurately, thus revealing the law more scientifically.
Grasp the essence, clarify the relationship and predict the development trend of things.
Qualitative analysis method
Qualitative analysis is the qualitative analysis of the research object. Specifically, it uses induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, abstraction and
By summarizing and other methods, all kinds of materials are processed, so as to get rid of the rough and get the essence, get rid of the false and keep the true, and achieve the cognition from the outside to the inside.
Understand the essence of things and reveal the internal laws.
Interdisciplinary research methods
The method of using multidisciplinary theories, methods and achievements to conduct a comprehensive study of a subject as a whole is also called "cross-study method". Scientific development
The law of motion shows that science is highly integrated in high differentiation and forms a unified whole. According to the statistics of relevant experts, there are now
There are more than 2,000 disciplines, and the trend of discipline differentiation is still intensifying, but at the same time, the links between disciplines are getting closer and closer, whether it is language, methods or some concepts.
On the other hand, there is a trend of more and more unification.
Case study method
Case study method is a research method to identify a specific object among the research objects, investigate and analyze it, and find out its characteristics and formation process.
There are three basic types of case studies: (1) personal investigation, that is, investigation and study of a person in an organization; (2) Group survey, that is, a survey of a certain group.
Organize or group to conduct investigation and study; (3) problem investigation, that is, to investigate and study a phenomenon or problem.
Functional analysis method
Functional analysis is a method used by social science to analyze social phenomena, and it is also one of the commonly used analytical methods in social investigation. It explains social phenomena.
Explain social phenomena such as how to meet the needs of a social system (that is, what functions it has).
Quantitative research methods
Quantitative research methods, also known as "statistical analysis" and "quantitative analysis", refer to the quantitative analysis of the scale, speed, scope and degree of the research object.
Department of analysis and research, to understand and reveal the relationship between things, changing laws and development trends, so as to achieve a correct interpretation and prediction of things.
A research method.
Simulation method (model method)
Simulation method is to create a similar model according to the main characteristics of the prototype, and then indirectly study the description method of the prototype through the model. root
According to the similarity between model and prototype, simulation methods can be divided into physical simulation and mathematical simulation.
Exploratory research method
Exploratory research is a high-level scientific research activity. It uses known information to explore and create new knowledge and produce novel and unique results.
Or products.
Information research methods
Information research method is a scientific research method using the functions of information research system. American mathematics, communication engineer and physiologist Weiner thinks
There is a universal connection in the objective world, that is, information connection. At present, in the new era of "information revolution", there are a lot of information resources, which can
Development and utilization. Information law is based on the principles of information theory, system theory and cybernetics, through the collection, transmission, processing and sorting of information.
Acquire knowledge and apply it to practice to achieve new goals. Information method is a new scientific research method, which uses information to study system functions and reveal.
The deeper laws of things help people to improve and master their ability to use them.
Experience summary method
The method of summing up experience is to make it systematic, theoretical and empirical by summarizing and analyzing the specific situation in practical activities.
Law. Summarizing and popularizing advanced experience is one of the more effective leadership methods used for a long time in human history.
Descriptive research methods
Descriptive research method is a simple research method, which describes and solves the existing phenomena, laws and theories through its own understanding and verification.
