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.
