Study Notes
- The text is a lecture transcript from a university course on Research Methodology in the field of health sciences.
- The lecture covers the topic of selecting a study approach, specifically qualitative research.
- Abdulhamid Al Ghwainem, a professor in Pediatric Dentistry, delivered the lecture on October 19, 2023.
- The lecture outlines the objectives, research process steps, and approaches and designs in research.
- Quantitative research and qualitative research are two approaches, each with its unique objective and data collection and analysis methods.
- Quantitative research aims to quantify data and generalize results, using statistical analysis for hypothesis testing and objective data collection.
- Qualitative research seeks to explore people's subjective experiences and identify themes and patterns, employing unstructured or semistructured methods and narrative reporting.
- Mixed methods research combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the research question.
- Research methodology and research method are related but distinct concepts; research methodology refers to the overall process, while research method is a specific technique used within that process.
- Various types of research designs include primary, secondary, analytical, and observational studies, each with different characteristics and uses.
- Qualitative research is particularly valuable in understanding health and illness, health-related behaviors, and health decision-making.
- Qualitative research requires researchers to be aware of their biases and assumptions to ensure unbiased study design and interpretation.
- Ontology, epistemology, and axiology are philosophical frameworks that influence both quantitative and qualitative research.
- Ontology deals with the nature of reality, with perspectives ranging from realism to relativism.
- Qualitative research may be guided by various theoretical perspectives, such as constructivism, social constructivism, and grounded theory.
- The lecture also includes disclaimers and warnings about copyright and the use of materials for educational purposes only.
