    Study Notes

    Types of Research

    • Basic Research: Increases understanding of a problem, develops scientific theories, and has no direct application.
    • Applied Research: Provides solutions and validation to answer a specific question, applicable to real-life settings.

    Characteristics of Research

    • Empirical: Based on observations and experiments of theories.
    • Systematic: Follows orderly and sequential procedures, based on valid procedures and principles.
    • Controlled: All variables, except those being tested, are kept constant.
    • Employs Hypothesis: Searches for facts, answers, and solutions to problems.
    • Analytical: Shows analytical procedures in gathering data, whether historical, descriptive, or case study.
    • Objective: Unbiased and logical, with findings based on real-life situations.
    • Original Work: Requires its own examination and produces the data needed to complete the study.

    Research Process

    • Define Research Problem: Identify the problem to be addressed.
    • Review of Related Literature: Examine existing evidence and experiences.
    • Data Collection: Gather data through methods such as interviews, observations, and document collection.
    • Data Analysis: Analyze data to find answers and solutions.

    Grounded Theory Method

    • Starts with data gathering and analysis, rather than formulating hypotheses.
    • Develops theory from raw data, such as transcripts.

    Case Study Method

    • In-depth examination of a single person, institution, or event.
    • Aim is to accurately describe the case through an in-depth examination.

    Historical Method

    • Uses hypothetical ideas to understand past events, anticipate future choices, and test for potential deviations.
    • Examines past events using resources.

    Qualitative Research

    • Takes place in natural settings, such as homes, schools, or communities.
    • Focuses on participants' perceptions and experiences.
    • Examples: Immigration, violence in sports, poverty.

    Sources of Research Topics

    • Mass media communication (e.g., TV, newspapers, ads, radio, films).
    • Books, internet, journals, government publications.
    • Professional periodicals (e.g., specialized periodicals in different fields).
    • General periodicals (e.g., Reader's Digest, Time Magazine, Women's Magazine).
    • Previous readings and work experience.

    Writing a Research Title

    • Specify the specific concern or issue.
    • Decide what you want to know about the specific concern or issue.
    • Turn what you want to know into a question.
    • Ensure the question is answerable and not too broad or too narrow.

    Characteristics of a Good Research Question

    • Clear: Provides enough specifics for the audience to understand its purpose.
    • Focused: Narrow enough to be answered thoroughly.
    • Concise: Expressed in the fewest possible words.
    • Complex: Requires synthesis and analysis of ideas and sources.
    • Arguable: Open to debate rather than accepted facts.

    Types of Literature Review

    • Integrative: Synthesizes findings from different approaches, allowing for integration of qualitative and quantitative studies.
    • Traditional: Provides a quick overview of current studies.
    • Syntactic: Synthesizes high-quality empirical information to answer a given research question.
    • Scoping: Informs areas appropriate for a systematic review.

    Guidelines in Choosing a Topic

    • Interest in the subject matter.
    • Availability of information.
    • Timeliness and relevance of the topic.
    • Limitations on the subject.
    • Personal resources.

    Topics to Avoid

    • Controversial topics (e.g., Abortion, Assisted suicide, Atheism).
    • Highly technical subjects that require expertise.
    • Hard-to-investigate subjects with unavailable or outdated materials.
    • Too broad subjects that lack focus.
