1st A.T rev. Flashcards
It is an integrating and culminating experience for students, and it is important because it allows studens to retain whatever they have been learning during their college studies and apply it once they puruse a specific academic profession in college.
Capstone Project
General: Research
This study done by Sir Isaac Newton is an example of pure research.

A group of individuals
People
Identify which of the 4P is being described below.
Interventions or plans of action
Phenomena
What should a research problem possess or “be” to create a good foundational pillar for your research?
The problem must be clearly defined
How do you properly define a research problem?
- State the problem in general terms
- Understand the nature of the problem
- Preview available literature
- Engage in discussions
- Rephrase the research problem
Enumerate.
What are the characteristics of a good reserach problem?
- it should address the gap in knowledge
- it should be significant enough to contribute to the existing body of research
- the problem should render itself to investigation through a collection of data
How do research problems help the progression of a research study?
- they help formulate the sequence of action
- they also help you avoid unnecessary steps during the research
The research problem is the ( ) step in conducting a research study.
preliminary step
True or false: Creative ideas are a source of researchable problems.
False
They aren’t.
It is a visual thinking tool that helps structure information; helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall, and generate new ideas.
Mind map
In writing, which element tells the reader where the exposition is heading?
- It involves using words and phrases to indivate the direction and organization of your writing. (from a writer’s POV)
Signposts
Which citation style or format is commonly used for academic documents such as journal articles and books?
APA
American Psychology Association
Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work or report without?
Citing the source or author
It is considered a crime because it is equivalent to stealing (intellectual property)
APA uses which format of citation?
author-date method
(ex. Jones, 2023)
Give the meaning of the acronym.
DOI
Digital object identifier
True or false: A DOI is a generic alphanumeric string assigned to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the internet.
False
It is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency
True or false: Citations of two or more works in the same parentheses shouldbe listed in the order they appear in the reference list.
True
True or false: In APA, references to legal materials such as court cases, statutes, and legislation are treated like work with actual authors.
False
They are treated like works with no authors.
What should you do when a resource has no named author?
Cite the last few words of the reference entry.
Scientific inquiries always start by. . .
asking questions
Compare.
Theoretical framework v.s conceptual framework
- Theoretical framework: based on existing theories that have been developed and reviewed by professionals
- Conceptual framework: aspects and variables selected by the researchers to become the basis of the study’s inquiry
What are the elements or components being measured in the study?
Variables
Enumerate and compare.
What are the two main types of variables?
- Independent variable: the treatment or factor measured and manipulated that affects the dependent variable
- Dependent variable: the outcome-determinant of the study
Enumerate.
What are the two types of hypotheses?
- Null hypothesis
- Alternative hypothesis
Determine which type of hypothesis is being described.
It is stated in positive form
alternative hypothesis
Determine which type of hypothesis is being described.
A type of denial of existence of a trait, characteristic, quality, value, correlation, or difference of the result.
null hypothesis
Determine which type of hypothesis is being described.
Affirms the existence of observed phenomena.
alternative hypothesis
Determine which type of hypothesis is being described.
This hypothesis is rejected once the computed value (CV) is significant or basically equal/greater than the tabular value (TV)
null hypothesis
How will you analyze and compare the results of your study?
Analyze and compare the results with the null hypothesis
It is a tentative, testable answer to a scientific question.
Hypothesis
Name a common statistical method used in research
comparing a population to the mean or average
This refers to an intelligent guess or a tentative proposition that is formulated temporarily to explain observed facts covered by a study
Hypothesis
This characteristic in research problems pertains to the usage of appropriate statistical tools to arrive at valid results.
Measurable
This quality must be possessed by a good researcher in which they are systematic, methodical, logical, and precise in their decision-making and interpretation of results.
Scientific
This quality of a researcher pertains to one that is trustful in the conduct of their research and declares valid results.
Honest
Also known as “basic research”; it is conducted to enhance scientific knowledge and is driven by curiosity and the desire to understand fundamental principles, without a specific practical application in mind.
