Lecture 2 : Research Methods, Approaches , Designs Flashcards
It refers to the plan, structure, and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answer to research questions or problems. It is the complete scheme or program of the research
Design
It refers to the first step in creating structure to the design and it details a conceptual model or framework of how the research will proceed, considering the objectives and variables of the study.
Approach
What are the two experimental research design?
True Experimental Research and Quasi-Experimental Research Design
What are the non-experimental designs?
Survey, Descriptive, Causal-comparative, and Correlational Research Design
In this research design, respondents are purposely selected which makes it prone to biases and is not capable of establishing cause-and-effect relationship.
Quasi-Experimental Research Design
It is often used in the fields of social sciences.
Non-experimental approach
It is based on a scientific method called experiment.
Experimental Approach
In this research design, it describes the attitudes, views, feelings, preferences, and other behavior of the respondent.
Survey
In this research design, the respondents are randomly selected, thus it is bias-free to ensure objectivity of the result.
True Experimental Research Design
In this research design, the researcher compares two or more groups in terms of cause (or independent variable) that has already happened.
Causal-comparative Research Design
It is composed of the experimental group wherein an intervention is given and control group which ks not given any treatment or intervention.
Experimental Approach
RIn this research design, data collection is observational in nature, it seeks to describe the present condition of a variable or phenomenon.
Descriptive Research Design
It involves variable the way they naturally exist.
Non-Experimental Approach
In this research design, it uses correlational statistics to describe and measure the degree or association (or relationship) between two or more variables.
Correlational Research Design
It is considered as the best way to examine causal relationship.
