Study Notes
- A research design is the plan for conducting a research project, providing guidance for data collection, analysis, and report preparation.
- It functions as a blueprint, ensuring control over factors affecting the study's validity.
- Good research designs are appropriate for the research question, unbiased, and precise in statistical analysis.
- Quantitative research designs involve systematic empirical investigation of quantitative phenomena and their relationships.
- Examples include experimental studies, where the researcher manipulates objects or situations, and non-intervention (observational) studies, where the researcher observes and analyzes without intervention.
- In experimental designs (intervention studies), the researcher manipulates variables to study their effects on the outcome.
