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.
