Understanding Variables
- A variable is defined as a quantity that can change under different conditions, represented by numerical values or categories.
- Examples include age, restaurant ambiance, and employee performance.
- Variables are essential for interpreting relationships in research studies.
Ethics in Research
- Research aims to contribute to generalizable knowledge using scientific methods such as observation and analysis.
- Not to be confused with medical treatment or disorganized inquiry.
- Research involving human subjects seeks ethical guidelines to ensure safe and responsible data collection and interaction.
Clinical Trials
- Investigations in human participants focused on evaluating safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of products before public use.
Research Conduct
- Researchers must ensure scientific and ethical integrity in all research activities.
- A research protocol outlines the study’s methodology, objectives, and ethical considerations for approval.
Educational Activity
- Students will engage in activities that test their understanding of research concepts and definitions, reinforcing their learning experience.
