Study Notes
Research Basics
- Research is a systematic and patient study undertaken to establish facts or principles in a specific field.
- Variables in research include independent variables that potentially cause changes and dependent variables that are affected by these changes.
Types of Research
- Quantitative research investigates relationships between variables and can be categorized into descriptive, correlational, true experimental, and quasi-experimental.
- A variable presumed to cause change is defined as an independent variable, while the one that changes due to another variable is a dependent variable.
Research Ethics
- Confidentiality is crucial in research; actions such as not mentioning participants' names uphold participant privacy.
Research Components
- Key components of a research paper include:
- Background of the study: Provides importance and validity of the research issue.
- Scope and Delimitation: Defines the coverage and limits of the study.
- Significance of the study: Explains why the study is important.
- Definition of Terms: Lists and explains terminologies used.
Writing and Formatting
- Paraphrasing involves restating ideas in your own words, ensuring originality while capturing the original meaning.
- The APA style, developed by the American Psychological Association, is a widely used citation format, requiring in-text citations and a reference list organized by the author's last name.
Research Design
- The conceptual framework represents ideas and beliefs underlying the research, often depicted graphically.
- The framework helps establish connections between different elements of the study.
Research Variables
- Continuous variables are characteristics that can be measured and expressed numerically, such as height or test scores.
- In qualitative research, data is presented descriptively, contrasting with quantitative data presented as statistical figures.
Research Topics
- Choosing a suitable research topic is crucial; areas could include social sciences, health, education, or personal interests that align with one’s academic pursuits.
Understanding Research Purposes
- Research aims to improve knowledge, contribute solutions to societal issues, and develop skills like independent learning.
- Citation provides validity, credibility, and allows verification of information, essential in upholding academic integrity.
Common Misconceptions
- It is a misconception that qualitative research is only exploratory and not reliable; both qualitative and quantitative research hold value in understanding phenomena.
Framework Characteristics
- A conceptual framework is not merely a guideline; it is integral in conceptualizing relationships between various research elements. It may or may not require visual representation.
Unique Elements
- The delimitation of a study indicates what is not included, guiding the reader's understanding of the research's focus.
Key Definitions
- Independent Variable (IV): The variable manipulated or changed in an experiment.
- Dependent Variable (DV): The variable observed or measured in response to changes in the independent variable.
- Nominal Variable: A variable categorized without a specific order, such as geographical location.
Writing the Background
- When writing the background of the study, avoid starting with direct quotations; instead, introduce the issue of interest to provide context.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
- Quantitative research involves statistical analysis and aims for generalization across populations, which supports its credibility.
