Is PICOT used for quan, qual and/or mixed methods?
QUAN
Is SPIDER used for quan, qual and/or mixed methods
Qual and mixed methods
Quan- internal validity
validity = refers to accuracy of a measure – results represent what they are suppose to measure
study design, conduct, and analysis answer the research questions without bias
Quan- external validity
validity = refers to accuracy of a measure – results represent what they are suppose to measure
study findings can be generalized (applied) to other contexts.
eg. a research design, which involves sending out survey questionnaires to students picked at random, displays more external validity than one where the questionnaires are given to friends. This is randomization to improve external validity.
quan- reliability
results can be reproduced under the same conditions = credible and trustworthy results
Which terminology is used for quan studies?
Reliability or dependability
Quan: Reliability
Qual: dependability
Which terminology is used for quan studies?
Credibility or internal validity
Defo: Good data collection/ research quality
Quan: Internal validity
Qual: Credibility
Which terminology is used for quan studies?
Transferability or external validity/ generalisablity
defo: findings can be applied to other situations
Quan: external validity/ generalisablity
Qual: Transferability
What does dissemination of research mean?
Spreading/ sharing research
