Study Notes
Research Process
- Step Seven: Interpretation and Report Writing involves preparing a report detailing the research conducted.
- Writing a report includes three components: preliminary pages, main text, and end matter.
Research Groups
- Formation of five research groups is necessary for collaboration on projects.
- Graduation Project 1 covers four out of the seven steps in the research process.
Prioritizing Problems for Research
- Dr. Howeida H. Abusalih leads a lecture on selecting and prioritizing research topics.
- Objectives include understanding selection criteria and applying rating scales to research topics.
Criteria for Selecting a Research Topic
- Relevance: Choose a topic that is a priority problem with significant impact.
- Avoidance of Duplication: Investigate if the topic has been studied previously; identify unanswered major questions.
- Feasibility: Assess the ease of implementation, availability of resources (personnel, time, equipment, funding).
- Political Acceptability: Topics should align with current political interests and relevance to authorities, especially during crises like COVID-19.
- Applicability: Evaluate how directly applicable the research findings will be.
- Urgency of Data Needed: Determine the timeline for the need for information (immediate, short-term, or long-term).
- Ethical Acceptability: Consider potential ethical issues associated with the research.
Justification for Research
- A clear justification should outline expected outcomes and how the findings will address specific problems.
- Address the need for the study and potential benefits to health and society, along with consequences of inaction.
Hypothesis
- A hypothesis forms a testable theoretical explanation, often indicating a causal relationship.
- Example: H1 - There is a relation between vaccine hesitancy and its underlying factors among mothers.
Essential Sections of a Proposal
- Include methods like study design, population inclusion/exclusion criteria, sampling techniques, data collection tools, statistical analysis, and ethical considerations.
Scales for Rating Research Topics
- Various scales assess the relevance, duplication, feasibility, political acceptability, applicability, urgency of data, and ethical considerations associated with research topics.
- Scoring can help prioritize research topics based on their overall applicability and urgency.
Writing Introduction
- Objectives include understanding methodological literature search and introduction writing techniques.
- The introduction should cover the significance of the research topic, the context, and clearly define the research question.
Methodological Search of Literature
- Utilize various databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and others for comprehensive literature reviews.
- Keep a record of search terms, combinations, article volume, and selection criteria for relevance.
Finalizing Your Introduction
- Should be structured logically, presenting broad context before narrowing down to specific research questions.
- Clearly articulate gaps in current research to establish the need for the study.
Plagiarism Avoidance
- Ensure proper paraphrasing, use quotation marks for direct quotes, and provide clear citations for all referenced works.
- Maintain a comprehensive reference list to ensure transparency and academic integrity.
