    Study Notes

    Research Variables and Samples

    • Data represents the research variable
    • A sample is a group of individuals that represents a total population

    Types of Interviews

    • Semi-structured interview: uses an interview schedule and a set of prepared questions that are unchangeable
    • Unstructured interview: answers are conversation-like, with questions based on an outline

    Research Approaches

    • Phenomenology: a qualitative approach that focuses on participants' experiences

    Observation Methods

    • Naturalistic observation: observing subjects in their natural environment without interference
    • Non-naturalistic observation: observing subjects in a controlled environment or using a checklist

    Qualitative Research

    • Scientific investigation of phenomena, including collection, presentation, analysis, and interpretation of facts
    • Focuses on understanding the "what", "why", and "how" of a phenomenon
    • Involves categorical data and written reports

    Data Analysis

    • Code: a word or phrase used to represent subjective data
    • Theme: consists of the background of a frequent problem and the clue to find a solution in the research
    • Pattern: examining codes and collated data to identify significant broader patterns of meaning

    Research Ethics

    • Intellectual property (IP) includes research used in the review of literature
    • Copyright owners have exclusive rights to reproduction, adaptation, distribution, public performance, and display
    • Paraphrasing the abstract of a study is a practice of ethical standard

    Research Designs

    • Ethnography: focuses on studying cultures and societies by observing and participating in their daily activities
    • Case study: primarily concerned with the in-depth analysis of a single or small number of cases
    • Historical approach: used to investigate past events, processes, and contexts to understand their significance and impact on the present

    Interviews and Questionnaires

    • Structured interview: uses a predetermined set of questions to gather feedback
    • Open-ended questions: used to gather detailed and subjective information
    • Close-ended questionnaires: used to gather specific and quantifiable data
    • Purpose: to provide background information and context for the study
    • Steps: identifying relevant sources, summarizing key points, and synthesizing information from different sources
    • Difference from a review of a related study: provides a broader overview, while a review of a related study is more focused and specific
    • Process: search for literature, read source materials, write a draft, and write the review
    • Purpose of citing sources: to avoid plagiarism

    Research Methods

    • Data gathering instruments: interviews, observation, and questionnaires
    • Research design: the process of structuring techniques and strategies to solve problems or answer inquiries
    • Participative observation: type of observation that requires the researcher to be involved in the usual activities of the subjects being researched
