Q

It is a written statement that reasons and justifies why a research is conducted. It is designed to inform readers on the study’s impact.

A

Rationale

17
Q

It is the systematic process of collecting information and data for the purpose of investigating and analyzing a phenomenon, condition, or problem.

It is a logical procedure that involves:

  • Identifying the research respondents
  • Sources of data
  • Locale of the study
  • Data gathering
  • Treatment of Data
A

Research Methodology

18
Q

Those who will be answering survey questionnaires

A

Research respondents

19
Q

Those who will be observed, audio-video recorded, or subjected to certain stimulus or treatments, answer research interviews and participate in focus group discussions)

A

Research Participants

20
Q

Where the study is conducted

A

Locale of the Study

21
Q

The manner as to how the data will be exactly collected (e.g. interviews, focus group discussions)

A

Data gathering

22
Q

Transcribing, tallying, tabulating, coding, interpreting and analyzing of data

A

Treatment of Data

23
Q

Two research methodology paradigms:

A

Quantitative research

  • Seeks to understand the causal or correlational relationship between variables through testing hypotheses
  • Experiment, random assignment, independent/dependent variable, causal/correlational, validity, deductive logic

Qualitative research

  • Seeks to understand a phenomenon within a real-world context through the use of interviews and observation
  • Complexity, contextual, inductive logic, discovery, exploration
24
Q

The entire group or set of individuals, objects, or events that possess specific characteristics and are of interest to the researcher

A

Population

25
Q

Type of research that includes the entire population. Data is gathered on every member of the population.

A

Census Study

26
Q

A smaller and more manageable representation of a larger group; A subset of a larger population

A

Sample

27
Q

Sampling method wherein each member of the population has a known non-zero probability of being selected. Involves random selection, allowing you to make strong statistical inferences about the whole group.

Sampling error can be calculated. When inferring to population, results are reported plus or minus the sampling error.

E.g. systematic sampling, stratified sampling

A

Probability Sampling

28
Q

Sampling method wherein members are selected from the population in non-random manner. Allows you to easily collect data

E.g. convenience sampling, judgment sampling, quota sampling, snowball sampling

A

Non-probability sampling

29
Q

The purest form of probability sampling. Each member of the population has an equal and known chance of being selected.

A

Random sampling

30
Q

Aka the Nth name selection technique. After the required sample size has been calculated, every Nth record is selected from a list of population members.

A

Systematic sampling

31
Q

In this sampling, researchers divide population into stratum (subsets). Random sampling is then used to select a sufficient number of subjects from each stratum.

A

Stratified sampling

32
Q

The sample is collected because they are convenient. Used in exploratory research where the researcher is interested in getting an inexpensive approximation of truth.

A

Convenience Sampling

33
Q

The researcher selects the sample based on judgment. This is usually an extension of convenience sampling.

A

Judgment sampling

34
Q

The researcher first identifies stratums in a population, then convenience or judgment sampling is used to select the required number of subjects from each stratum.

A

Quota sampling

35
Q

Sampling method that relies on referrals from initial subjects to generate additional subjects

A

Snowball sampling

36
Q

This formula is useful in determining sample size that could represent a large population.

Formula: n = N / (1 + Ne2) wherein;

n - Number of Samples
N - Total population
e - Error tolerance

A

Slovin’s Formula
