Study Notes
Research Methodology
- Research methodology must align with the research question; qualitative methods suit perception studies, while quantitative methods fit in identifying problem scales.
- A combination of methodologies can enhance research effectiveness.
- Objective research requires minimizing biases from researchers.
Resource Allocation
- Sufficient resources (personnel, time, transport, finances) must be allocated at the research outset.
- Researchers need training to understand information gathering, research issues, the subject area, and sensitivity when dealing with vulnerable populations.
Types of Research Design
- Three primary types exist: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods designs.
Qualitative Research Design
- Flexible approach focusing on exploring human problems and understanding social contexts.
- Notable designs include:
- Descriptive Research: Examines features of a population without revealing causative factors.
- Ethnographic Research: Investigates human lifestyles and community structures.
- Critical Social Research: Explores how social and political dimensions influence societal changes.
- Grounded Theory: Starts with data collection to build and test theories.
- Phenomenology: Analyzes conscious experiences free of preconceived interpretations.
- Historical Research: Looks at past events to address current issues.
Quantitative Research Design
- Fixed and objective, utilizing numerical data for systematic inquiries in social sciences.
- Functions to describe variables, examine relationships, and determine causal interactions.
- Types of designs include:
- Experimental Designs: Includes true experiments, double-blind studies, and pretest-posttest designs.
- Semi-Experimental Designs: Incorporates field experiments and quasi-experimental designs.
Mixed Research Design
- Combines methods from both qualitative and quantitative research.
- Types include mixed method research and mixed model research.
Ethical Considerations
- Research must adhere to ethical standards ensuring no harm to participants and protecting their rights.
Importance of Research Training
- Comprehensive training equips researchers with techniques for gathering data ethically and effectively managing sensitive environments.
Research Impact
- Outcomes from research may influence policy-making and contribute to broader societal benefits.
