Study Notes
- Research involves systematically investigating materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
- Research can be quantitative, qualitative or mixed-method
Types of Research
- Quantitative research quantifies the collection and analysis of data, using statistical strategies.
- Qualitative research attempts to interpret phenomena in terms of people's meanings in natural settings.
- Mixed-method research means data are not quantified but rather analyzed and interpreted using a chosen framework or lens.
Research Paper Steps
- Choose a research topic based on interests, contributions to stakeholders, and feasibility.
- Brainstorm, review research gaps, and do critical reading and observation toward a topic.
- Prepare a proposal for research approval, including the profile of the researchers, the background and intent of the study, and the appeal for research approval.
- A research proposal contains an abstract, rationale, a problem statement, a theoretical framework, a planned methodology, supporting literature and studies, and expected results.
Proposal Parts
- An abstract is a brief summary of the whole proposal, containing 100-250 words, if total.
- The rationale is where the research endeavor is justified and is strengthened by citing sources.
- Objectives or questions should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
- The Theoretical Framework guides how to look at a problem.
- Mention the research design, sample and sample technique, the instruments to use, and most importantly, the procedures you will do in gathering data and the ways you will analyze them.
- Supporting Literature & Studies are part of any proposal
- Expected Results are the assumptions that can be associated with the objectives or problem.
- Write a chapter called "The Problem and Its Background" containing the Introduction, Statement of the Problem/Objectives, Scope and Limitation, Significance of the study, and Definition of Terms.
- The introduction is the overview of the research
- The problem statement/objectives lists the target goals or the research questions the research intends to find out.
- The scope and limitations explains the boundary of the research, and what is only expected of it
- The significance of the study covers who and how others will benefit from your study
- Definition of terms covers definitions for key words or operations of the study
- Review related literature and studies (RRLS)
Review styles
- Thematic RRLS presents the discussion based on a theme.
- Chronological RRLS expounds on when the literature or study was conducted or published.
- Geographical Approaches segregates the review by where the literature or study was conducted (local or foreign research).
Research Methodology Design
- Decide on the research design, sampling technique, instrumentation, statistical tool, data gathering, and analysis procedure.
- Design is the third chapter of the research paper, and each of the parts varies depending on the study.
Research Design Types
- Descriptive research design aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation, or phenomenon
- Case Study research design is a detailed study of a specific subject, such as a person, group, place, event, organization, or phenomenon.
- Action Research is a research method that aims to simultaneously investigate and solve an issue.
- Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view.
- Ethnography is a research method central to knowing the world from the standpoint of its social relations.
- Data from the completed research has to be presented
- Tables, Graphs, and Narratives are typical organizational structures of this presentation
- Alignment with the Statement of the Problem/Objectives
- Conclusion with findings and recommendations is the last part of your research.
Conclusion with Findings Summary
- It consists of possible gaps that other researchers may want to study or improvements on the perceived weakness of the research.
- Known as Summary of Findings and Recommendations.
- Summary of Findings is an encapsulation of the analysis and interpretations.
- Conclusions are ideas that you deduced considering the findings.
- Recommendations can consist possible gaps that other researchers may want to study or improvements on the perceived weakness of the research
