Study Notes
Research Definition and Methods
- Research creates new knowledge and uses existing knowledge creatively to solve real-world problems.
- Quantitative research uses numerical data to describe and explain experiences. Descriptive statistics summarize data (mean, median, mode), while inferential statistics test hypotheses and draw conclusions.
- Qualitative research uses narrative data to explore and explain human experiences (case studies, ethnography, grounded theory, phenomenology, narrative research).
- SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is used for complex statistical data analysis.
- Dependent variables are outcomes or responses; independent variables are often related to other measured variables.
Chapter 1: Introduction
- Introduces rationales (worldview, Asian view, philosophical view, local view).
- Presents a conceptual/theoretical framework with a schematic diagram.
- Describes relationships between components.
- Includes paragraphs discussing key points.
- States the problem and reviews relevant literature, guided by theories and addressing specific questions. It outlines steps and limitations.
- Explains the significance of the study and defines key terms.
Chapter 2: Review of Related Literature
- Details the research design, environment, participants, sampling procedure, data collection, and descriptive data analysis.
- Outlines ethical considerations.
- Includes an early analysis design (EAD) summary.
