Study Notes
Research Tips
- Choose a topic that aligns with personal interest to ensure success and enthusiasm.
- Use concise language, avoiding unnecessary words to maintain reader engagement.
- Establish focus and keep thoughts intact to make the research paper enticing.
- Don't be afraid to fail; it's an opportunity to recreate and refine the research.
- Consult with others, especially knowledgeable individuals, to gain feedback and improve the research.
Types of Research Questions
- Factor-isolating questions: categorize, label, or name factors and situations.
- Factor-relating questions: establish relationships between identified factors.
- Situation-relating questions: examine observable changes resulting from experimentation.
- Situation-producing questions: measure the impact of a particular change on an existing situation.
Research Designs
- Causal Design: measures the impact of a change on an existing situation.
- Cross-Sectional Design: uses survey techniques to gather data from a large number of subjects.
- Descriptive Design: answers who, what, when, where, and how questions, but not why.
- Experimental Design: involves an experimental group and a control group to measure the effect of an independent variable.
- Exploratory Design: suited for research problems with little investigation, to understand processes and discover methodology.
- Historical Design: collects, verifies, and synthesizes evidence from the past to establish factual bases.
- Mixed-Method Design: combines quantitative and qualitative methods to provide sufficient evidence.
Population, Sample, and Sampling Technique
- Population: the entire group of people, organisms, or things with similar features and characteristics.
- Sample: a subset of the population, used to make inferences about the population.
- Sampling Technique: methods used to select a sample from the population, such as face-to-face, telephone, or computer-assisted interviews.
Data Collection Methods
- Interview:
- Structured Interview: uses pre-prepared questions.
- Unstructured Interview: uses an outline of topics and spontaneous questions.
- Semi-Structured Interview: combines structured and unstructured approaches.
- Observation:
- Naturalistic Observation: observes subjects in their natural environment.
- Participative Observation: involves the researcher in the activities of the subjects.
- Non-naturalistic Observation: takes subjects away from their usual situation and into ideal conditions.
