Study Notes
Interpretive Phenomenological Research
- Aims to explore participants' sense-making and meanings in specific experiences, focusing on their personal perception and life world
Research Ethics
- A set of principles that guide researchers to conduct studies that are honest, respectful, responsible, and fair
- Key principles: • Honesty: Data should never be fabricated • Objectivity: Biases should be avoided • Integrity: Promises and agreements should be kept • Care: Errors and negligence should be avoided • Openness: Researchers should be open to criticisms • Respect for Intellectual Property: Proper acknowledgement should be given • Confidentiality: Documents should be protected • Responsible Publication: Research should advance scholarship • Responsible Mentoring: Researchers should educate, mentor, and advise students • Respect for Colleagues: Colleagues should be treated equally • Social Responsibility: Good should be promoted, bad avoided • Non-Discrimination: Anyone eligible to participate should be allowed • Competence: Expertise should be maintained • Legality: Laws and policies should be obeyed • Human Subject Protection: Dignity, privacy, and autonomy of subjects is a primary consideration
Rights of Research Participants
-
- Voluntary Participation: Participants should not be coerced to participate
-
- Informed Consent: Participants should be fully informed about procedures and risks
-
- Risk of Harm: Participants should be protected from harm
-
- Confidentiality: Participants’ identities should be protected
-
- Anonymity: Consent to participate must be secured
Plagiarism and Intellectual Property
- Plagiarism: The act of using another person’s ideas without credit, considered a serious ethical violation
- Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines (R.A 8293): Provides guidelines for different levels of plagiarism
Research Problems
- Can arise in various settings like hospitals, clinics, schools, offices, homes, and community areas
- Common due to discomfort or difficulty in broad subjects like family affairs, home management, and leadership
External Criteria
-
- Support of the Academic Community: Assistance given by the members of the institution in the gathering of data and defraying the cost of the study
-
- Availability and Adequacy of Facilities & Equipment: Devices such as computers and telephones used in undertaking the study must be considered
-
- Ethical Considerations: Avoidance of research problems that pose unethical demands on the part of the research participants
Choosing a Research Problem as High School Students
- Background of the researcher is an important factor in defining the selection of research problems or topics
- Students should focus on more practical and relatable topics of research
- Factors to consider: feasibility, external support, and innovation
Definition of Research
- Follows a step-by-step process of investigation that uses a standardized approach in answering the question or solving a problem
Research Paradigm
- An outline that guides the researcher in conceptualizing and conducting the research
- Addresses two important aspects: Research Foundation and Research Methodology
Research Foundation
- Research Problem: A significant real-life problem
- Research Purpose: Formulate necessary questions that will help distinguish the significant points of the research
- Research Question: Framed in a quantitative (how much) or qualitative (what, why, how) manner
Variable
- Has attributes (values assigned to a specific variable)
- Characteristics: • Dependence: Refers to how the variable is considered in a cause-and-effect relationship • Mutually Exclusive: A participant or respondent cannot possess two attributes of a variable • Exhaustive: Consider all possible attributes of a certain variable
Kinds of Variables
- Continuous Variables: Variables that may have an infinite number of values and may vary widely among research participants
- Discrete Variables: Variables that have specific limits to their value
- Categorical Variables: Variables that cannot be expressed in numbers but are given in non-quantitative, descriptive terms
Delimitation of the Study
- Describes the various limitations that arose during the design and conduct of the study
- Includes characteristics of the research design and methodology that affected or influenced the findings of the study
Explore the definition of research and research paradigm as outlined by Polit & Beck and Palipis, respectively. Learn about the step-by-step process of investigation and the importance of addressing research foundation and methodology in a research study.
