Study Notes

Levels of Investigation

  • Exploration: Researcher studies variables pertinent to a specific situation
  • Descriptive: Studies the relationships of the variables
  • Experimental: Studies the effects of the variables on each other

Type of Analysis

  • Analytic: Identifies and isolates components of the research situation
  • Holistic: Focuses on the total situation, examining internal relationships

Scope

  • Limited scope: Research focuses on solving a particular problem

Choice of Answers to Problems

  • Evaluation: Specifies and identifies possible courses of action to find the most advantageous
  • Development: Focuses on finding or developing a more suitable instrument or process

Statistical Content

  • Quantitative: Utilizes inferential statistics to determine results
  • Non-Quantitative: Partially or completely avoids the use of statistics

Time Element

  • Historical: Describes what was
  • Descriptive: Describes what is
  • Experimental: Describes what will be

Difference between Research and Problem-Solving

  • Research: May not aim to solve a problem, but rather answer a question or query
  • Problem-Solving: Aims to solve a specific problem

Kinds and Classification of Research

  • According to Purpose:
    • Predictive: Determines future operation of variables to control or redirect for the better
    • Directive: Determines what should be done based on findings
    • Illuminative: Concerned with the interaction of components of the variable being investigated
  • According to Goal:
    • Basic or Pure: Develops theories or principles
    • Applied: Applies results of pure research

Characteristics of a Good Research

  • Gathers new knowledge from primary sources
  • Conducts systematic and accurate investigation
  • Logical and objective, applying tests to verify data and procedures
  • Expresses data in quantitative terms and numerical measures
  • Records and reports data carefully

Summary of Characteristics

  • Systematic: Follows an orderly and sequential procedure
  • Controlled: Keeps variables constant except those being tested
  • Empirical: Procedures and data are perceived similarly by all observers
