3. Economic research: This relates to economic and administrative development and all branches of business and finance, and helps to increase financial savings and productivity.
4. Geographical and historical research: Geographical research is concerned with studying the nature of climatic conditions, topography, seas and oceans.

 What are the 3 types of Qualitative research? 

The types of qualitative research vary depending on the way in which the researchers collect information in scientific research.

First: Qualitative research that depends on the interview

Interview is one of the main ways to gather information in qualitative research. Through the interview method, the researcher can identify the thoughts, feelings and perspectives of others. This method also enables the researcher to reconstruct social events that are not directly observed.

Second: Qualitative research based on observation

The second basic method of gathering information in qualitative research is observation. A remarkable history in the social sciences. They are particularly important in educational research. Many of the educational attitudes need to be observed by the researcher in normal and record what he sees and hear what is going on in her normal daily life. In this way, the researcher does not interfere in the affairs of the category to be examined, as in some research methods, but observes what is actually going on in the normal situation.

Third: Qualitative research based on analysis of documents

The third basic way to gather information in qualitative research is to analyze documents. Historical or recent documents are an important source of qualitative educational research. It is the characteristics of modern society documentation. The reports written by the educational supervisors every year, the instructions they write in the records of the schools when they visit, and the reports of teachers and experts from the reports, research and observations, and official reports and directives issued. But what students might write in construction lessons or in their letters to teachers. All of these are important documents for the researcher and can be studied and analyzed to reach important and useful results.

 What is the questionnaire in the qualitative research? 

The questionnaire is defined as a tool of qualitative research, which is widely used in research papers and studies. It is primarily aimed at obtaining information on people's conditions, attitudes, and inclinations. The questionnaire is usually conducted by putting a number of questions by the researcher in a coherent manner in which he seeks to reach the goal of research. The questionnaire enables the researcher to set the number of questions he wants to reach the desired result.

2. Open Questionnaire: The answer to this type of questionnaire is free.
3. Closed-ended questionnaire: It is a combination of the two previous types, as it contains questions specific answers, and open-ended answer which is the best types of questionnaire because it gets rid of the flaws of the previous two types.
