What is meant by descriptive analytical approach?

Scientific research methods in general contribute to the identification of the phenomenon of the study, and put it in its proper framework, and to explain all the circumstances surrounding it, and this is the beginning of access to the study results that relate to research, and the development of solutions are represented in the recommendations and proposals marketed by the researcher to end the controversy contained in the board research and the use of a particular approach in research requires considerable time and effort to access all information and data related to the phenomenon of research, such methods include the descriptive analytical approach, which is one of the most important approaches used in research and scientific studies.

The concept of descriptive analytical approach as one of the branches of the specialized descriptive method, which was one of the developments that researchers have added in the image of the original primitive of the concept of descriptive analytical approach, in which the analytical descriptive approach has an additional function more flexible and useful besides the description of phenomena through observation and different methods.

 The concept of descriptive analytical approach 

The concept of descriptive analytical approach (filed of descriptive analytical approach) is: “In-depth descriptive method, in which the scientific researcher describes the various scientific phenomena and problems, and solve problems and questions that fall within the scientific research department, then the data collected is analyzed by the descriptive analytical approach, so that the appropriate explanation and results can be extracted. As a scientific researcher can also through the concept of descriptive analytical approach (filed of descriptive analytical approach) put different phenomena in comparisons between similar phenomena, so that different data can be collected on the differences and similarities between those phenomena, which are the most important characteristics that distinguish the analytical descriptive approach from other Scientific methods, and its uses in scientific research are greatly enhanced”.

 Advantages and disadvantages of the descriptive analytical approach 

• Characteristics of the descriptive analytical approach:

The concept of descriptive analytical approach (filed of descriptive analytical approach) has some important features, which may make it a choice for many researchers in the research of various scientific phenomena, the most prominent of these important features are:

1. Through the use of descriptive analytical approach, the scientific researcher can gather some of the most accurate and clear information about the phenomena in scientific research, which is one of the most important features that may lack the descriptive method, which is devoid of analytical nature.
2. Provide all the events and information experienced by the scientific researcher during the research process, and a detailed and real account of all scientific procedures that took place during the descriptive analytical approach.
3. The causative news may be one of the most important advantages of the concept of descriptive analytical approach (filed of descriptive analytical approach), it is also one of the important advantages in the use of this scientific method.
4. The traditional descriptive approach was limited to the study of some phenomena that take a social and human nature, but the concept of descriptive analytical approach (filed of descriptive analytical approach) has more enabling mechanisms, through which it can study more topics in scientific research.
5. It is able to clarify the relationships between variables and different phenomena, and is also able to detail the different comparisons between those phenomena, and discover the differences and similarities in detail, which is one of the functions characterized in the performance of the descriptive analytical approach.

• Disadvantages of the descriptive analytical approach:

1. Problems discussed through the descriptive analytical approach may be related to a specific place and time, so it is one of the disadvantages that may overlap in the application of the descriptive analytical approach, and limit its uses in some cases in some phenomena.
2. Prediction is one of the important advantages that may be enjoyed by the use of descriptive analytical approach, but this does not apply in general and certainly, and may be one of the most difficult features to apply and benefit greatly.
3. Scientific researchers find some difficulties in identifying important concepts in the descriptive analytical approach, which also limits the uses of this approach in scientific research in general.
4. It is difficult for the scientific researcher to measure some of the information taken through the descriptive analytical approach, and may have to apply some alternatives when it needs more accurate information.

 Uses of the descriptive analytical approach in scientific research 

The descriptive analytical approach has many important characteristics, which qualifies it to be a choice for many researchers, and qualifies it to have many uses in scientific research, and those important uses and benefits of the analytical descriptive approach are:

1. Descriptive analytical approach is considered as the most flexible approach in the analysis of various scientific phenomena, and this makes it one of the approaches that can be shared with other scientific approaches.
2. The descriptive analytical approach can also be used in a more professional and diverse way than other scientific methods, where the research methodology adopted for many different scientific phenomena can be not only human and social phenomena.
3. Accuracy, credibility and comprehensiveness in the collection of information on different phenomena, which is one of the most important objectives that enhance the uses of the descriptive analytical approach, where this method is used to collect accurate and more comprehensive information on different phenomena, and its procedures based on distinctive analysis, make information through it.
4. Helping the scientific researcher to collect all kinds of information on problems and phenomena, it is suitable for collecting both information of quantitative and also qualitative nature.

 Hypothesis testing and statistical tests 

Of the most important parts of a scientific research is conducting hypothesis testing and statistical tests. Hypothesis testing and statistical tests are of great importance to the researcher, where the researcher in the stage of hypothesis testing and statistical tests finds the validity of his hypothesis.

Hypothesis testing and statistical tests should be carefully conducted. Being careful in hypothesis testing and statistical tests will ensure good results. Which is why many researchers feel stressed in the process of hypothesis testing and statistical tests, however, if the researcher followed the exact instructions of the supervisor, hypothesis testing and statistical tests will not be a difficult process.
