Study Notes
Research Methodology
- Individuals are the most common source of evidence in research, often called participants or subjects.
- A sample is the collective group of individuals from whom data are collected.
- Probability sampling is a sampling procedure in quantitative research where the probability of selecting a participant is known, and a sample representative of a larger group is aimed for.
- Non-probability sampling is another sampling procedure where there is no known probability of selecting a participant.
- The margin of error in sampling is the extent to which repeated random samples will deviate from the population.
- The margin of error decreases as the sample size increases.
- Simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified random sampling, and cluster sampling are random sampling techniques.
Sampling Techniques
- Simple random sampling: Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
- Systematic sampling: Selecting every nth member of a list or population.
- Stratified random sampling: Subgroups within a population are proportionally represented in the sample.
- Cluster sampling: Naturally occurring groups are randomly selected, then subjects are randomly selected from those groups.
Sampling Procedures (Qualitative and Quantitative)
- Convenience sampling is when the ease of recruiting participants is the primary factor for participant selection.
- Snowball sampling is when participants are asked to recommend other participants.
- Extreme case sampling selects unique/atypical outliers.
- Purposeful sampling selects participants to provide the best information to address a research question, studying these cases in depth.
Literature Reviews
- A literature review relates previous research and theory to a problem under investigation.
- A literature review helps place a research problem in context by comparing and contrasting the current or proposed study to previous investigations.
- A literature review helps to identify methodological limitations of previous research.
- Identifying contradictory findings in previous research can help formulate a new research design.
- Literature helps resolve research contradictions.
- Existing theories can justify research hypotheses when there are few related studies.
- Literature reviews can help refine research questions and define conceptual or theoretical orientations
- Literature reviews help researchers avoid duplication by revealing what has already been studied and identifying gaps in the existing literature.
Types of Tests
- Norm-referenced tests compare scores to others.
- Criterion-referenced tests compare scores to a fixed standard.
- Standardized tests include achievement tests (knowledge), aptitude tests (future performance), and standards-based tests (specific benchmarks).
- Characteristics of tests are: norm-referenced vs. criterion-referenced, achievement vs. aptitude, standardized vs. locally developed.
Types of Scales
- Likert scales measure agreement levels.
- Semantic differential scales use bipolar adjectives to measure attitudes
Data Collection Methods
- Questionnaires collect large quantities of data quickly.
- Questionnaires can be prone to bias.
- Interviews are good for rapport building, they can gather in-depth data, and are flexible.
- Interviews can be time-consuming and costly.
- Double-barreled questions combine two issues in one question, causing ambiguity.
- Observations can be either low-inference or high-inference.
- Low-inference requires minimal interpretation, while high-inference requires judgment.
- Challenges for high inference are observer bias and reliability issues.
- Reducing observer bias: Training, using multiple observers, ensuring observers are blind to hypotheses.
Phenomenological Research
- Phenomenological research is about the study of lived experiences.
- In phenomenological research, the lived meaning of an experience should be described.
- In phenomenological research, avoiding generalization is important.
Research Ethics
- Informed consent is required for participants in all research studies.
- Ensuring ethical integrity in research involves protecting participants' anonymity and confidentiality.
- Institutions Review Boards review research proposals to ensure ethical standards are upheld before data collection begins.
