Study Notes
Types of Qualitative Research
-
Ethnography: In-depth cultural investigation focusing on members of a cultural society; aims to preserve cultural heritage.
- Examples include studies on cultural integration, traditional practices, and folklores of various indigenous groups.
-
Grounded Theory: Designed to discover problems within a social environment and how they are managed; focuses on theory development through naturalistic research.
- Useful when literature is scarce; data collection and analysis occur until saturation is achieved.
- Examples include historical studies on the Bangsamoro people and migration narratives in Mindanao.
-
Phenomenology: Prioritizes understanding common lived experiences within a specific group; aims to describe a particular phenomenon.
- Commonly employs Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA) for data gathering to capture individuals' narratives.
- Examples include studies on technology impacts and post-traumatic experiences in particular regions.
Crafting a Research Title
- Topic Selection: Choose a topic of personal interest for better engagement.
- Objectives Inclusion: Clearly articulate the research goals to clarify the study design.
- Specific Setting: Define the geographic or contextual boundaries of the research.
- Data Sources Clarity: Differentiate between primary (e.g., interviews, surveys) and secondary (e.g., articles) data sources.
- Data Collection Techniques: Specify methods like questionnaires, observations, and document analysis.
Topics to Avoid
- Controversial Topics: Opinion-dependent subjects lack empirical support, e.g., faith in God.
- Highly Technical Topics: Require advanced expertise, e.g., spaceship construction.
- Hard-to-Investigate Topics: Lack of accessible materials hampers research, e.g., historical labor unions.
- Broad Topics: Lead to superficial analysis; focus on narrow aspects, e.g., lack of self-confidence among adolescents.
- Too Narrow Topics: Specificity may hinder comprehensive research; e.g., oversimplified definitions.
- Vague Topics: Titles with indefinite adjectives lead to unclear focus, e.g., vague vehicle pricing.
Sources of Research Topics
- Mass media: Television, newspapers, radio, etc.
- Literature: Books, internet sources, academic journals.
- Professional and general periodicals.
- Previous readings and work experiences.
Research Title Formulation
- A strong title encapsulates the main research problem, reflects study variables, and provides a concise summary.
- Key components:
- What: Subject matter being investigated.
- Where: Location of the research.
- Who: Participants involved in the study.
- When: Timeframe of the research.
Crafting a Research Proposal
- Introduction: Background context highlighting the significance of the research and existing literature gaps.
- Statement of the Problem: Clear identification of the issue the study will address.
- Research Questions: Formulate specific questions that guide the investigation.
- Assumptions: Underlying beliefs that shape the study's direction.
- Hypothesis: Testable predictions regarding expected study outcomes.
- Significance of the Study: Potential impact of the findings on knowledge and future research avenues.
Statistical Tools
- Various methodologies and software for analyzing data and drawing conclusions.
- Important for identifying patterns, relationships, and trends within datasets.
Formatting Guidelines
- Use short bond paper with specific font style and size for clarity.
- Clearly outline margins, paragraph indentations, and spacing.
- Follow structured headings for organization and accessibility.
- Tables and figures should be formatted to enhance readability and clarity.
