A statement that suggests a possible explanation for an observed phenomenon. It's a testable prediction that guides research.

The process of carefully planning how to collect data to address your research question. It ensures efficient and effective data gathering.

The type of research focused on understanding a phenomenon in depth, exploring new areas, or generating initial insights.

The type of research focused on providing a detailed and comprehensive picture of a phenomenon, describing its characteristics and features.

The type of research focused on identifying the causes and effects of a phenomenon, exploring relationships and potential interventions.

The process of planning how you'll collect data for your research, considering factors like data sources, researcher availability, time, and budget.

A specific type of study that focuses on understanding a phenomenon in great detail by simply describing its characteristics and features.

A type of study that seeks to identify relationships between variables and understand the underlying causes and effects.

A type of study where researchers gather data from a group at a specific point in time to understand a situation or phenomenon.

A type of study that looks at an individual's past to understand factors that may have contributed to their current condition.

A type of study that follows a group of individuals over time and observes how their characteristics or behaviors change.

A study where the researcher actively manipulates a variable to see its effect on another variable, often with a control group for comparison.

A type of experimental study where participants are randomly assigned to different groups to control for biases and ensure fair comparisons.

In research, the process of examining data to identify patterns, relationships, and differences that either support or contradict the formulated hypotheses. It involves using statistical tests to determine the significance of findings.

Statistical tests used to determine the validity of data and the extent to which conclusions can be drawn based on the findings.

The systematic and detailed description of the research process used, including all steps taken, ensuring replicability and allowing others to continue building upon the work.

A written document that presents the findings, methods, and conclusions of the research, organized into preliminary pages, main text, and end matter.

The extent to which the research findings are accurate and reliable, meaning they can be trusted to be true and consistent when repeated.

The process of interpreting the results of data analysis and drawing conclusions based on whether the findings support or refute the original hypotheses.

The objective of research should be clearly defined, using common concepts to ensure understanding and communication.

Clear, concise, and specific statements that outline the goals and aims of the research study.

Objectives that help narrow the focus, avoid unnecessary data collection, and organize the study into defined parts.

Types of research objectives that directly address the main research question and are the primary goals of the study.

Objectives that provide a detailed outline of the specific steps, procedures, and actions to be taken in the study.

Terms that require clarification to ensure a clear understanding of the research question.

The process of providing clear, concise, and unambiguous definitions for key terms used in the research study.

Terms that are essential for understanding the research question and ensuring accuracy in data collection and analysis.

A process of using different methods, such as explanations, examples, or comparisons, to make unclear terms clear.

Information gathered directly from the source, like data collected through experiments or surveys. Think of it as the 'raw' data.

Information that summarizes or reinterprets primary sources, often found in articles, textbooks, or reviews. Think of it as a 'secondary' account.

A hypothesis must be written in a way that allows for testing and measurement. It needs to be clear enough for us to gather data and see if it's true.

A hypothesis should propose a clear relationship between two or more variables. It can be about how variables are connected or how one causes a change in another.

This type of hypothesis predicts a relationship between variables, but doesn't claim that one directly causes the other.

This type of hypothesis states that one variable directly influences another, causing a change in the other variable.

This type of hypothesis only involves two variables and their relationship.

This type of hypothesis examines the relationship between more than two variables.

This hypothesis predicts a specific direction for the relationship between variables, like 'increase' or 'decrease'.

This hypothesis simply suggests a relationship between variables without specifying a direction.
