Study Notes

Research and Definitions

Research is a systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
Technical and operational definitions are crucial in helping researchers conduct their study.

Technical Definitions

A technical definition states or describes exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of something.
Guidelines for writing technical definitions:
- Be accurate and use precise terms.
- Be objective and use facts, not opinions.
- Grade your language to match the knowledge level of your readers.

Examples of Technical Definitions

Weak definition: Data is an information in digital form that can be transmitted or processed.
Accurate and precise definition: Data are the quantities, characters, or symbols on which operations are performed by a computer, being stored and transmitted in the form of electrical signals and recorded on magnetic, optical, or mechanical recording media.
Opinionated definition: A questionnaire is not valid and reliable for the study.
Factual definition: A questionnaire is a set of printed or written questions with a choice of answers, devised for the purposes of a survey or statistical study.
