Basic Research
• Basic Research; Seeks the knowledge as an end in itself, and contribute to theory.
The world is patterned and those patterns are knowable and explainable

Applied Research
• Seeks to understand nature and sources of human and society problems.
• Address questions which are important to the society and formulate problem-solving program
• Is based on the premises, human and societal problem can be understood and solved with right knowledge.

Summative Evaluation
• The purpose is to determine the effectiveness of human intervention and actions (Programs, policies and products)
• Is to make judgement and generalizations about interventions
• About effective interventions and in what effort and condition.
