LESSON 2 Flashcards
prefaces the study by providing a summary of the main idea and is usually short and concise.
A research title
states the area of concern of the research paper whether it is a circumstance needing development, a difficulty requiring attention, or an inquiry necessitating an answer.
research problem
The repetition of a prior research study in a different setting and time is called ____
replication
. – This refers to the practical value of the problem due to its “newness” in the field of inquiry.
Novelty
– This refers to the people with the desired capability and willingness to participate in the study. The sample of the study participants must be representative enough to ensure reliability and validity of the results.
Availability of subjects
– This refers to the assistance given by the members of the institution, like the principal, teachers, staff, students, and the parents, in the gathering of data and defraying the cost of the study. Permission of those concerned for the participation in the study of staff members, children, the aged, and the mentally challenged should be secured.
Support of the academic community
Devices such as computers, and telephones used in undertaking the study must be considered
Availability and adequacy of facilities and equipment
These constitute the researcher’s knowledge and expertise as result of experience and study.
Experience, training, and qualifications of the researcher –
– These are essential attitudes that bring anticipated satisfaction or enjoyment in the completion of research tasks.
b. Motivation, interest, intellectual curiosity, and perceptiveness of the researcher
This considers the fact that studies must be pursued within a given time frame.
Time Factor
These factors matter in choosing a research problem. Research is an expensive undertaking. The amount of funding needed, after all, depends on the size of the sample, the place where the research is to be conducted, the treatment of data, and the kind of research design.
Costs and returns –
e– These depend upon the researcher’s physical and intellectual capacity and moral judgments.
Hazards, penalties, and handicaps
This project aims to better understand young people’s experiences in the gig economy.
Theoretical Research Aims and Objectives
is determined primarily by the selection of variables that the research study will focus on.
The scope of the study
refers to any characteristic that can have different values or traits that may vary across research participants.
variable
are important elements of a variable. It refers to the value assigned to a specific variable.
attributes
– this refers to how the variable is considered in a cause-and-effect relationship.
dependence
– this refers to how the variable is considered in a cause-and-effect relationship.
dependence
are those characteristics that are changed, manipulated, or selected by the researcher.
Independent variables
variables that may have an infinite number of values and may vary widely among the research participants. Examples include age, and weight.
continuous variables
– variables that have specific limits to their value. Examples include come, number of children or years of employment.
discrete variables
these cannot be expressed in numbers but are given in non-quantitative, descriptive terms. Examples include civil status (single, married, widowed), and educational achievement (high school graduate, college graduate, post-graduate).
Categorical variables –
describes the various limitations that arose during the design and conduct of the study.
delimitation of the study
The research design and methodology will determine whether the research will have a small or large sample size. The sample size will determine the quality of data and the relationships that will be identified among the variables.
Sample size.
The research design and methodology will determine whether the research will have a small or large sample size. The sample size will determine the quality of data and the relationships that will be identified among the variables.
Sample size.
Missing and unreliable data will limit the scope of analysis and the ability of the researcher to determine meaningful trends and relationships among the data.
Lack of available and/or reliable data.
. This will limit the effectiveness of the literature review and may limit the initial understanding of the research problem. This, however can be a basis for identifying avenues for further research.
lack of prior studies
Limitations in the data collection instrument may affect the quality of data collected. Unclear or vague questions in a questionnaire will result to unclear or erroneous answers from the respondents.
chosen data collection method
Relying on pre-existing data may impose limits on the researcher as he or she can no longer clarify certain data. Self-reported data have the risk of being false and cannot be easily verified.
Nature of the information collected.
. The amount and quality of data will depend on the ability of the researcher to access people, organizations, libraries, and documents that can provide him or her the best available data
access
The length of time devoted to the study will affect almost all aspects of the research. It is advisable to select a research problem and design that gives way to a more manageable time period
time period
The length of time devoted to the study will affect almost all aspects of the research. It is advisable to select a research problem and design that gives way to a more manageable time period
time period
. This refers to a way of viewing a certain thing, issue, or idea, and may be influenced by the researcher’s background.
bias
. This may have an effect on data collection, especially if the researcher is involved with respondents that speak a variety of languages. This is especially a challenge in studies that involve documents that are written in different languages.
language
- These include the avoidance of research problems that pose unethical demands on the part of the research participants.
Ethical considerations
