Study Notes
Research Design
- Research design is a plan, structure, and strategy for answering research questions or problems.
- It includes operationalizing variables, selecting samples, data collection, and analysis.
- Key functions of research design:
- Identify and develop procedures and logistical arrangements for conducting the study.
- Ensure the quality of procedures for validity, objectivity, and accuracy.
- Research design should detail all procedures and tasks to answer research questions.
- It should specify everything clearly so a reader understands what procedures to follow and how.
- Study design names include cross-sectional, before-and-after, comparative, control experiment, or random control.
- It should include information on study population, sample selection, participant contact, data collection methods, consent, ethical considerations, and respondent queries.
Study Design Differences
- Quantitative research designs:
- Specific, well-structured, tested for validity and reliability, and explicitly defined.
- Qualitative research designs:
- May not have these attributes or have them to a lesser degree.
