Study Notes
Research Methodology Overview
- Chapter 1 includes the introduction, problem statement, assumptions, hypotheses (both alternative and null), significance of the study, scope and delimitation, locale of the study, and definitions of terms.
- Hypotheses:
- Alternative: A significant relationship exists between financial problems and academic performance.
- Null: No significant relationship exists.
Literature Review Sources
- Utilizes a variety of sources including books, internet, academic articles, journals, and related studies.
- Research tools: ERIC, Google Scholar, news articles, websites, magazines, atlases, and almanacs.
Introduction to Chapter 3
- Focused on research methodology detailing strategy, method, approach, data collection techniques, sampling, research process, analysis type, ethical considerations, and limitations.
- Highlights the natural human curiosity about the surrounding world and the motive to explain and predict human conditions.
Research Methodology Objectives
- Identify various research designs.
- Determine appropriate sampling techniques for specific studies.
- Provide guidelines for constructing questionnaires.
- Calculate sample sizes as necessary.
- Create a self-made questionnaire.
Research Strategy
- The dissertation employs an applied research strategy.
- Emphasis on qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research
-
Qualitative Research:
- Seeks detailed descriptions and subjective interpretations.
- Researcher acts as the data collection instrument; design evolves with the study.
- Data can include words, pictures, or objects.
- Uses methods like participant observation and in-depth interviews.
- Richer data but time-consuming; less generalizable.
-
Quantitative Research:
- Focuses on classifying features and statistical modeling.
- Researcher uses tools like questionnaires to gather numerical data.
- Data represented as numbers and statistics.
- More structured design prior to data collection, leading to efficient hypothesis testing.
