Study Notes
Learning Goals of Practical Research 2
- Ability to describe characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of quantitative research.
- Skills to differentiate types of variables based on scales of measurement.
- Capability to contrast different forms of quantitative research.
Definition of Practical Research
- Systematic process for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information.
- Aims to enhance understanding of phenomena relevant to personal or societal interest.
- Contributes to existing knowledge, improves practices, and informs policies.
Importance of Research for SHS Students
- Equips students with knowledge on conducting systematic inquiries.
- Helps in identifying relevant research opportunities tied to personal interests and academic strands.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
- Focuses on expressing meaning numerically.
- Involves objective and factual measurements.
- Commonly seeks to quantify phenomena through numerical answers to specific questions.
Types of Quantitative Research
- Experimental Research: Involves testing hypotheses through manipulation of variables.
- Non-experimental Research: Observes variables without manipulation and examines relationships.
Significance of Quantitative Research
- Produces precise measurements and in-depth data analysis.
- Facilitates objective studies of environments and personality traits within groups.
- Essential for exploring relationships among characteristics and addressing behavioral instabilities.
Comparison: Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research
-
Purpose:
- Quantitative Research: Tests hypotheses and looks at cause-effect relationships.
- Qualitative Research: Seeks to understand and interpret social interactions.
-
Group Studied:
- Quantitative Research: Larger, randomly selected samples.
- Qualitative Research: Smaller, non-randomly selected groups.
-
Type of Data Collected:
- Quantitative Research: Gathers numerical data and statistics.
- Qualitative Research: Collects words, images, and objects.
-
Objectivity vs. Subjectivity:
- Quantitative Research: Emphasizes objectivity in findings.
- Qualitative Research: Accepts subjectivity, incorporating the researcher’s perspective.
-
View of Human Behavior:
- Quantitative Research: Views behavior as regular and predictable.
- Qualitative Research: Considers behavior as dynamic, situational, and social.
-
Role of Researcher:
- Quantitative Research: Researcher biases are generally controlled and unknown to participants.
- Qualitative Research: Researcher biases may influence data and interpretations.
