  • Lesson Description: Discusses research overview, importance in criminal justice and criminal investigation, and research gap concepts.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students learn the concept of research.
  • Students learn the concept of literature review in research.
  • Students identify and explain different types of research gaps.
  • Students discuss the purpose of research.
  • Students apply proper citation of literature review in research.

Student Learning Strategies

  • Synchronous Online Learning (Zoom): Three-hour class discussions, online discussions linked beforehand, assessment of performance tasks via rubrics. Refer to Facebook group for instructions.
  • Asynchronous Online Learning (Google Classroom): Recorded video lectures, PowerPoint presentations, self-paced learning modules, and other relevant course materials uploaded beforehand.

Lecture Guide: Overview of Research

  • What is Research?: A voyage of discovery, generating new knowledge, leading to improvements in insights, materials, devices, products, and processes. It's a scientific approach to answering research questions, solving problems, or generating new knowledge through systematic data collection, organization, and analysis.
  • Origin of "Research": Old French word "recerchier," meaning "to search again," implying an incomplete previous search.
  • Criminological Research: Collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to address crime and criminology issues. Impacts criminal justice theory, policy, practice, and development.

Research Gap

  • Definition: Unexplored aspects of a topic, not covered in prior research. Areas of a topic not yet studied.
  • Types of Research Gap:
  • Evidence Gap: Contradictory new research findings vs. widely accepted conclusions. Inconsistencies in previously reported study findings.
  • Knowledge Gap: Knowledge void, where research doesn't exist on expected knowledge, or where a study's results differ from predictions.
  • Practical Gap: Discrepancy between actual professional behaviors and behaviors recommended.
  • Methodological Gap: Conflicts between research methods from prior studies, conflict in methods used to generate results and conclusions.
  • Empirical Gap: Research findings/propositions needing evaluation or empirical verification.
  • Theoretical Gap: Conflicts between different theories to explain a phenomenon.
  • Population Gap: Under-representation or under-research of specific population types in research (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, age).

Literature Review

  • Definition & Purpose: Examining existing knowledge related to the research topic. Critiques of prior research, to identify gaps, and to support the originality of the present study.
  • Goals: Broadening knowledge, ensuring originality, helpful research design, determining strengths and weaknesses, forming theoretical/conceptual framework.

Presenting the Review

  • Methods: Chronological, thematic/variable/factor, country of origin approaches.

Performance Tasks:

  • Students will be expected to perform at least three performance tasks, covering the definitions of research, research gaps, and types of research gaps.
