Study Notes
Applied Research
- Applied research seeks solutions to real-world problems, contrasting basic research which is more theoretical.
- Significant fields of applied research include medical research (e.g., vaccine effectiveness), political science (impact of media on elections), and market research (social media ad effectiveness).
Characteristics of Research
- Controlled: Research maintains control over variables to ensure valid results, with extraneous variables managed carefully.
- Rigorous: Adopts strict methodologies to guarantee reliable results and ethical compliance.
- Systematic: Follows a structured plan with step-by-step procedures for problem-solving and research execution.
The Research Process
- The research process consists of phases: proposal, activity, and written content.
- A research proposal identifies the research problem and specifies the study area, topic, and scope.
Research Proposal Steps
- Identify General Study Area: Select a topic within the area of interest.
- Choose a Research Topic: Ensure the topic allows for qualitative exploration, requiring immersion in the subject.
- Time Element: Establish a time frame for data collection and analysis to set clear boundaries.
Formulating Research Questions
- Questions should start with "what," "why," or "how," be open-ended, and reflective.
- Central focus and follow-up questions help narrow the research scope.
Geographical and Topic Scope
- Define geographical boundaries for relevant data collection, e.g., studying poverty in specific urban areas.
- Subtopics help refine focus from broader concepts, facilitating better research outcomes.
Significance of Qualitative Research
- Well-executed studies contribute to knowledge enhancement and stakeholder benefits.
- Contributions can range from personal gains for the researcher to societal insights and solutions to pressing issues.
Literature Review
- A literature review involves collecting and synthesizing relevant information from various sources to guide research questions and methodology.
- Information should be credible, pertinent, and comprehensive to refine research objectives effectively.
Summarization in Research
- Summarizing captures the essence of a text while maintaining core arguments, and it should be original in phrasing.
- Paraphrasing involves rewording short text portions to convey the same ideas, useful in integrating multiple sources into research.
Research Ethics
- Emphasizes honesty, requiring researchers to present truthful information and avoid data manipulation.
Presentation and Publication
- Research findings can be shared through posters, oral presentations, or academic publications for peer accessibility and dissemination.
