Lesson 1: Research Paradigm Flashcards
It is an outline that guides the researcher in conceptualizing and conducting the research.
research paradigm
An effective research must address these two important aspects:
research foundations and research methodology
It refers to the fundamental components of research such as the research problem, purpose, specific questions to be addressed, and the theoretical and conceptual frameworks to be applied.
research foundations
It is a research foundation that requires describing the undesirable situations related to the problem and the needed knowledge or information in order to solve that problem.
research problem
It is a research foundation that describes how the study will fill this “knowledge gap.”
purpose of the research
It is a research foundation that the researcher must formulate necessary questions that will help distinguish the
significant points of the research.
purpose of the research
They may be either framed in a quantitative (how much, how often, to what extent) or qualitative (what, why, how) manner.
research questions
The possible answers to the research questions are the ________________, which will be either confirmed or rejected by the data collected in the study.
hypotheses
Lastly, the ________________________________ provide bases and contexts for the study.
theoretical and conceptual frameworks
It presents the theory in which the topic of the study is embedded.
theoretical framework
It discusses the specific concepts and variables which are to be explored in the study.
conceptual framework
This describes how the researcher will answer the research questions in a credible manner.
research methodology
They explain how the hypothesis was come up.
assumptions
They are employed to address the research purpose and gain new information and insights to answer the problem.
Research methods
It includes the review of literature, research approach and design, data collection, methods of analysis, and conclusions.
methodology of the research
It analyzes the existing knowledge regarding the research topic.
review of literature
It identifies gaps in information that may be addressed by the research.
review of literature
It is also an important basis of the theoretical/conceptual framework of the study.
review of literature
With the existing knowledge about the study, the__________________________ identifies what is the best means to collect and analyze data in the study.
research approach and design
It is used to clarify and improve the research problem, purpose, and questions.
design
Having the best way to gather the data, the researcher will proceed to the __________________.
data collection
It gives the methods to determine who will be the participants in the study, how the variables will be measured, and how data will be documented and collected.
data collection
The collected data will then undergo ______________, which consists of the strategies and methods that makes sense of the data to answer the research problem and questions.
data analysis
It summarizes the key results of the study and discusses how these are relevant to the research problem.
conclusion
At this point, the research addresses the _________________ and determines if they are accepted or rejected.
hypotheses
The research also addresses the _____________ and presents new insights into the problem.
knowledge gap
