Study Notes
Research Design
- A research design is a plan for studying a research question, including the research process from question formulation, literature review, framework development, data collection, and analysis techniques.
Descriptive Research Design
- Descriptive research is used to present the traits and characteristics of a target population.
- It utilizes questionnaires and interviews to gather data.
Correlational Research Design
- Examines the degree of association between variables, determining the extent to which differences between variables are related.
- It establishes or explores relationships, associations, or interdependence between two or more aspects of a situation.
Experimental Research Design
- Tests the effect of a treatment on a group of respondents selected randomly to undergo the treatment.
Causal Research Design
- Investigates cause-and-effect relationships between variables.
Historical Research Design
- Utilizes historical data to predict the behavior of a variable.
- It describes and examines past events to better understand the present and anticipate potential effects on the future.
Sampling
- A sample is a selection of respondents from a population to represent the whole population in a research study.
Slovin's Formula
- Used to calculate a sample size when taking a sample from a population.
- Takes into account confidence levels and margins of error.
- Formula: n = N/(1+Ne^2), where n = sample size, N = population size, e = margin of error.
Margin of Error
- The allowable error margin in research.
Sampling Procedures
- Formal process of choosing a sample from a population for a research study.
Simple Random Sampling
- Most commonly used sampling procedure.
Purposive Sampling
- Most commonly used sampling procedure.
Research Methodology
- Explains the research method used, research flow, research respondents, research environment, locale of the study, research instruments, sources of data, scoring procedures, and analysis methods.
Descriptive Quantitative Research Method
- Describes the characteristics of a population or phenomenon.
- Focuses on describing the nature of a demographic segment without addressing why a certain phenomenon occurs.
Research Respondents
- The individuals or groups participating in a research study.
Total Number of Respondents
- The total number of individuals or groups included in a research study.
Margin of Error, Confidence Level, and Sample Size
- The margin of error, confidence level, and sample size should be considered when selecting respondents for a study.
Performance Task
- The performance task involves identifying the sample size, explaining the sampling procedure, and submitting the manuscript to the research teacher.
