    The descriptive method of research is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon without determining why or how those characteristics occurred. Descriptive research aims to provide an accurate picture of the current status of variables through methods like surveys and correlation studies. It involves statistical analysis to describe and summarize data in a meaningful way through tables, graphs and interpretations. The purpose is to examine present conditions, practices, opinions and trends rather than create causal relationships.

    Method of Research Used

    The descriptive method of research is used in this study to describe


    characteristics of population or phenomenon. It does not answer questions about
    how, when, and why the characteristics occurred. Rather it addresses the "what"
    question (what are the characteristics of the population or situation being studied?).
    The characteristics used to describe the situation or population was usually some
    kind of categorical scheme also known as descriptive categories. (2015,
    wikipedia.org)
    The descriptive research method refers to the method used to describe data and
    characteristics used to describe the population. The purpose of using the descriptive
    research method is to acquire accurate, factual, systematic data that can provide
    you with an actual picture of the data set that you are reviewing. It is advice that the
    descriptive research method should not be used to create a causal relationship,
    where one variable affects the other. (Pedraza, J.M. , 2014). Descriptive research is
    a study designed to depict the participants in an accurate way. More simply put,
    descriptive research is all about describing people who take part in the study.(2015,
    study.com)
    A descriptive study is one in which information is collected without changing the
    environment. It is used to obtain information concerning the current status of the
    phenomena to describe "what exists" with respect to variables or conditions in a
    situation. The methods involved range from the survey which describes the status
    quo, the correlation study which investigates the relationship between variables, to

    developmental studies which seek to determine changes over time. Descriptive


    research is used to describe the characteristics of a population without answering
    the questions about how, when or why the characteristics occurred. It involves lots of
    statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics analysis data to describe, show and
    summarize it in a meaningful way (statistics and graphs), offering a window through
    which raw data can be glimpsed and comprehended clearly by different researchers.
    In other words, the descriptive research attempts to describe, explain and interpret
    conditions of the present i.e. what is. The purpose of a descriptive research is to
    examine a phenomenon that is occurring at a specific place(s) and time. A
    descriptive research is concerned with conditions, practices, structures, differences
    or relationships that exist, opinions held, processes that are going on or trends that
    are evident. (Kowalczyk, Devin, 2015)
