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. Descriptive research is reliable and less time consuming compared to other methods of data collection. The diversification allows it to employ more than one research design during the research process. It could face a lot of biasness and non-responsiveness when you exclude the use of statistical methods. It is undependable because of the use of the observation method that you cannot repeatedly use for your research process. Different methods may alter the results, such as the case study hence misinterpreted results that aren’t per the whole population.
