! Flashcards
provides readers information as to how would the researcher address the questions raised in the first chapter.
research methodology
a very important aspect of the research methodology which describes the researcher mode.
research design
shows what the researcher chose as the approach and what under the specific approach was chosen.
research design
qualitative research designs (5):
- narrative research
- phenomenological research
- ethnography
- grounded theory
- case study
describes the target population and the sample frame.
respondents of the study
sampling method that allows the researcher to give equal opportunities to the members of the population.
probability sampling
Individuals are selected based on non-random criteria, and not every individual has a chance of being included.
non-probability sampling
Members of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
random sampling
are chosen at regular intervals.
systematic sampling
When the population is heterogenous, stratified random sampling is used. The samples are divided into subgroups called stratum to make them homogeneous. After that, samples will be picked from each stratum.
stratified random sampling
a method of sampling which is used to study large population by means of setting non-overlapping subgroups
cluster sampling
individuals who happen to be most accessible to the researcher.
convenience sampling
involves the researcher using their expertise to select a sample that is most useful to the purposes of the research.
purpose sampling
population is hard to access
snowball sampling
relies on the non- random selection of a predetermined number or proportion of units.
quota sampling
describes the specific type of research instrument that will be used such as questionnaires, checklist, questionnaire-checklist, interview schedule, teacher- made test, and the like.
instrument of the study
data collection methods (5)
- interview
- observation
- written documents
- artifacts
- focus group
It follows a particular script.
structured interview
Researchers have guide questions
semi-structured interview
More flexible and are meant for information to arise from the interview and interaction with the informant.
unstructured interview
method of collecting data in which a researcher watches or listens to research participants rather than conducting an interview
direct observation
is a research method where the researchers immerse themselves in a particular social setting or group, observing the behaviors, interactions, and practices of the participants.
participant observation
