A research purpose that aims to provide a thorough and detailed account of a phenomenon or event, including its characteristics, features, and occurrences.

A research purpose that seeks to establish relationships between variables, predicting how one variable might influence another.

A research purpose that seeks to understand the underlying causes and mechanisms that explain why certain phenomena occur.

A research purpose that aims to manipulate variables to control and influence outcomes, often used to test interventions or solutions.

A research finding is statistically significant when the probability of the result occurring by chance is very low, suggesting a real effect is likely at play.

A variable represents a factor or characteristic that can change or vary within a study. It can be measured or counted, and its values can be analyzed.

The independent variable is manipulated or changed by the researcher in an experiment to observe its effects on the dependent variable. It's the 'cause' in a cause-and-effect relationship.

The dependent variable is measured or observed in an experiment to see how it is affected by changes in the independent variable. It's the 'effect' in a cause-and-effect relationship.

A research approach that focuses on understanding complex social phenomena through in-depth exploration of experiences, perspectives, and meanings. It emphasizes qualitative data collection, such as interviews, observations, and text analysis. Unlike quantitative research, it is less concerned with generalizing findings to wider populations.

A research design that explores relationships between variables without establishing cause-and-effect. It uses quantitative data to analyze patterns and correlations between variables.

A research paradigm that prioritizes discovering patterns, understanding meanings, and constructing theories from data, often grounded in specific contexts. It is less concerned with generalizability and more focused on in-depth understanding.

A research approach that emphasizes collecting numerical data, testing hypotheses, and drawing conclusions based on statistical analysis. It aims to generalize findings to larger populations and establish causal relationships.

A defining feature of experimental research where the researcher manipulates a specific variable (independent variable) to observe its effect on another variable (dependent variable). This manipulation allows researchers to study cause-and-effect relationships.

A type of experimental research that aims to demonstrate causality, but participants are not randomly assigned to groups. Instead, researchers use pre-existing groups or utilize other strategies to control for potential confounding variables.

The scientific method that starts with a general theory or hypothesis and then tests it through specific observation and experimentation. This approach aims to validate pre-existing ideas through empirical data.

A research approach that uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon. It combines the strengths of both approaches, allowing for a more nuanced and detailed analysis.

A research approach that relies on numerical data and statistical analysis to test hypotheses and draw conclusions.

The study investigated the relationship between student teacher characteristics and their performance in teaching elementary mathematics.

Variables that are measured and analyzed in a study to understand their impact on other variables.

The Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) and Grade Point Average in High School Mathematics. Both reflect innate ability and effort.

The study suggests that selecting students based on aptitude and motivation might improve teaching quality.

A theoretical framework that explains how individuals attribute successes and failures to internal or external factors.

Knowledge of the subject matter, understanding of how to teach it, and the ability to relate the subject to students' prior knowledge and experiences.

The study focused on student teachers' performance in elementary mathematics teaching.
