Capstone Finals Flashcards
[T/F] The meaning of research as well as its attributes and characteristics are the same regardless of the learning discipline or field of study.
True
_____ Is simply a systematic and refined technique of thinking, employing specialized tools, instruments, and procedures in order to obtain a more adequate solution to a problem than would be possible under ordinary means.
Research
Oxford Concise Dictionary defines research as ____
a systematic investigation into and study of materials, sources, etc, in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
The purpose of research is to ____
serve man
The goal of research is ___
good life, to satisfy man’s craving for more understanding, to improve judgement, to add to their power, reduce the burden of work, relieve suffering and to increase satisfaction in multitudinous wats.
The most common purpose of research is?
ease the burden of work
Characteristics of research
- Empirical
- Logical
- Cyclical
- Analytical
- Replicability
- Critical
Characteristics of research that states research is based on direct experience or observation by the researcher. The collection of data relies on practical experience without benefit of the scientific knowledge or theory
Empirical
Characteristics of research that states research is based on valid procedures and principles. Scientific investigation is done in an orderly manner so that the researcher has confidence on the results. Logical examination of procedures used in the research enables the researcher to draw valid conclusions. Thus, the logic of valid research makes it important for decision making.
Logical
Characteristics of research that states research starts with a problem and ends with a problem. For instance, a researcher who completes their study states that his findings and draws up their conclusions and recommendations. In his recommendations, many problems may crop up as other subjects for the study hence, the cycle is repeated.
Cyclical
Characteristics of research that states that research utilizes proven analytical procedures in gathering data, whether historical, descriptive, experimental or case study.
Analytical
Characteristics of research that states that research designs and procedures are replicated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results.
Replicability
[T/F] Similarities and differences of replicated researches can be compared
True
[T/F] The more replications, the more valid the conclusive result would be
True
Characteristics of research that states that research exhibits careful and precise judgements. A higher level of confidence must be established i.e., at 1% or 5% level of confidence
Critical
Types of Research
- Pure Research
- Applied Research
- Action Research
Type of research that involves seeking new applications of scientific knowledge to the solution of a problem, such as the development of a new system or procedure, new device, or new method in order to solve the problem.
Applied Research
The type of research that refers to the application of theory to the solution of problems. It is conducted for the purpose of applying or testing theory and evaluating usefulness
Ex. Development and Evaluation of a Visual Room Scheduler for the Technological Institute of the Philippines using Artificial Intelligence
Applied Research
The type of research that is a feature of applied research, which is decision-oriented research involving application of the steps of scientific method in response to an immediate need to improve existing practices.
Action Research
This type of research focuses on immediate application, NOT on the development of a theory or generalization of applications. The research is required to do some action such as teaching the respondents on how to use a particular device, teaching the importance of a particular subject etc.
example:
Methods of birth control
Vaccination
Action Research
This type of research aims to discover basic truths or principles. It is intended to add to the body of knowledge by exploring the unknown, to extend the boundaries of knowledge, as well as to discover new facts.
Example:
Newton’s Law
The function and importance of an appendix
Pure Research
This type of research is conducted to primarily test or arrive at a theory. Its main objective is to establish general principles without known or intended practical application of the findings.
Example:
Newton’s Law
The function and importance of an appendix
Pure research
4 Types of Research Methods
- Descriptive Research
- Historical Research
- Experimental Research
- Ex post Facto Research
- Case Study Research
Research method that describes what is. It involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of the present nature, composition or processes of phenomena. The focus is on prevailing condition
Descriptive Research
Research method with a process of selecting the topic to write the history about, collecting fata about events that occurred in the area or about the topic, collating data, sifting the authentic from non-authentic, and then making an interpretative narrative about or critical inquiry into the whole truth of the events.
Historical Research
This research method describes what occurred in the past and makes a critical inquiry into the truth of what occurred
Historical Research
Research method that has a problem-solving approach that describes the effect when certain variables are carefully controlled or manipulated.
Experimental Research
This type of Research method focuses on past, present, and future conditions
Experimental Research
In this research method, the researcher investigates a problem by studying the variables in retrospect. It is a research in which the dependent variable is immediately observable and the main concern is to find out the antecedents that give rise to consequences
Ex post Facto Research
According to Bromley (1990), this type of research method is a systematic inquiry into an event or a set of related events which aims to describe and explain the phenomenon of interest.
Case Study Research
The keyword in design is the word ___
optimum
How Ashley Karr distinguished research and design
WE RESEARCH TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
To research something is to investigate it systematically in order to reach new conclusions, establish facts and learn as much about the truth as possible.
WE DESIGN TO CHANGE THE WORLD
to design something is to create the form and function of an object, system or interaction in order to make out experience better, safer, healthier, more comfortable, fun and we can create solutions to the problems we found during research.
Ashley Karr differentiates research and design simply by ___
research explains WHY THINGS HAPPEN
we design to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN
[T/F] According to the American Society for Engineering Education, Design IS RESEARCH
False (Design is not research)
[T/F] A design may require research to accomplish a task but it typically involves the integration of knowledge, NOT the creation of new knowledge
True
A ____ is commonly defined as any significant, perplexing and challenging situation, real or artificial, the solution of which requires reflective thinking.
