In a Nutshell

Content: Non-responsiveness and biasness could be when coming up with the results based on the researcher’s observation and inadequate statistical methods used. The studies cannot be repeated due to the methods used like observation. It is inadequate in helping the researcher in the identification of the cause of the phenomenon. It covers a limited scope of study where it focuses on what rather than why in the research problem. The use of methods such as case study might not be the representation of the whole target sample hence affecting the results produced. In a Nutshell
Descriptive research entails the study of phenomenons to answer the questions what, when, where and how. It is used to identify the characteristics, attributes trends and correlations in the research problem. Descriptive research implements both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research designs use the case study, observation, and survey methods in the collection of the required data for analysis. Descriptive research is analysed by different techniques such as the use tables, standard deviation, variance, means and quantiles, and cross-tabulations.
