Study Notes

Research Overview

Research is a systematic, meticulous study aimed at establishing facts or principles in a specific field.
Etymology: Derived from Old French “recerchier” meaning to examine closely, implying thorough investigation.
Involves both reading and writing skills, merging ideas and theories from various experts in the field.

Purposes of Research

Descriptive: Identifies characteristics and patterns to enhance understanding of phenomena.
Exploratory: Investigates new areas to generate insights, hypotheses, and pave the way for deeper studies.
Explanatory: Clarifies the causes behind occurrences, leading to better comprehension.
Predictive and Control: Anticipates outcomes to aid strategy development in various sectors.

Importance of Research

Advances progress in health care, technology, and social sciences.
Ensures facts are validated, fostering trust in knowledge.
Enhances planning and decision-making through insightful data.
Addresses societal challenges, creating growth opportunities.

Comparative Analysis: Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research

Similarities:
- Both involve thorough inquiry to understand and address real-life issues.
- Initiate with problem identification and can reveal new questions.
- Utilize textual analysis and interpret data employing various methodologies.
Differences:
- Qualitative: Explores ideas, focuses on individual experiences, employs flexible data collection.
- Quantitative: Tests specific hypotheses, uses numerical measurements, follows structured data collection methods.

Characteristics of Qualitative Research

Provides in-depth exploration of human experiences, emphasizing situational context.
Interprets data using narratives and visuals to convey perspectives.
Adapts data collection methods during the research process for diverse information.
Offers flexibility in design, allowing for various approaches.
Focuses on internal traits of subjects during data analysis.

Qualitative Research Designs

Case Study: Long-term observation of a particular phenomenon or individual.
Historical Analysis: Reflects on past events to derive conclusions and predict outcomes.
Phenomenology: Captures individuals' perceptions and lived experiences to understand phenomena.
Ethnography: Observes cultural practices and beliefs, attempting to minimize researcher bias.
Content/Discourse Analysis: Evaluates communication modes by analyzing documents and interactions.
Grounded Theory: Develops new theories based on empirical data collected during research.

Outcome of Research Approaches

Qualitative Research promotes deep understanding with a focus on validity.
Quantitative Research emphasizes replicability and consistency with statistical analysis.
