    Study Notes

    Research Design

    • Research design is the overall plan or structure that guides the research process, serving as a blueprint for conducting a study.
    • It includes the methods and techniques used to collect and analyze data.

    Importance of Research Design

    • A well-designed research study is essential for ensuring that research objectives are met and results are valid and reliable.
    • A well-constructed research design helps ensure the validity, reliability, and generalizability of research findings.

    Characteristics of Research Design

    Neutrality

    • Research results should be free from bias and neutral.
    • Opinions from multiple individuals should be considered to avoid bias.

    Reliability

    • A reliable research design ensures similar results with repeated research.
    • The design should indicate how to form research questions to ensure standardized results.

    Validity

    • Measuring tools should help achieve the research objective.
    • A valid questionnaire is developed from a valid research design.

    Generalization

    • Research results should apply to a population, not just a restricted sample.
    • A generalized method allows the survey to be conducted on any part of a population with similar accuracy.
