Explanation
★This classification is based on the purpose of the research, so that is the answer.
★Exploratory, descriptive, analytical and predictive name what a study is trying to achieve.
★So the grouping rests on the purpose, on why the study is being carried out.
★The logic of the research, whether inductive or deductive, is a different basis of classification.
★The outcome is what results at the end, not the basis of this fourfold grouping.
★The process describes how the study proceeds, so this classification is by the purpose of the research.
