This study analyses 15 textbooks of educational research methods in Great Britain, USA, Australia, China's Mainland and Taiwan. It has been found from this study that the research classifications in education are confusing. The authors of these textbooks mixed up the types of research, the methods of research and techniques of data analysis. The present author proposes a new research classification in distance education. Based on the purpose, research in distance education could be classified into basic research, applied research, e-valuation research, action research and research and development. Based on the methodology, research in distance education could be classified into qualitative research and quantitative research. Based on specific methods, research in distance education could be classified into document study, historical study, interview, questionnaire survey, observation, quasi-experimental method, and experimental method. A research project is often conducted through a combination of several methods.
