Lesson 3 -4 Flashcards
What are the 3Ts that a Research Topics must follow?
- Timely
- Trending
- Trailblazing
It as an intellectual stimulus calling for
an answer in the form of scientific inquiry.
Research Topic
These are general questions about relations among variables, or characteristics of the phenomenon which a researcher needs to undertake.
Topic or Problems
Stating the problem helps the researcher
clarify various essential elements of research
such as the major variables, the general
and specific objectives, and the appropriate
methodology.
Statement of the Problem
What are the Important Elements in the Statement of the General Problem?
- Main Task
- Main or major variables
- Participants
- Specific Setting
- Coverage Date
- Intended Outputs
It is followed by an enumeration of the specific problems.
General Problem
What are the criteria that a specific problem should meet?
• They must be in question form;
• They must define the population and the
sample of the study;
• They must identify the variables being
studied; and
• They must be empirically tested.
These are questions of value. Questions that
are answerable by “yes” or “no”.
Non-researchable questions
These are questions of value, opinions, or policy raised to gather data. It also formulates clear and significant questions prepares the
researcher for subsequent decision-making over research design, data collection, and data analysis.
Researchable Questions
What are the basic form of research questions?
who, what, where, when, why, and how.
What are the type of Research Questions?
- Factor-Isolating Questions ( What is this?)
- Factor-Relating Questions ( What is happening here?)
- Situation-Relating Questions (What will happen if?)
- Situation-Producing Questions (How can I make this happen?)
It is sometimes called as “factor naming questions”. This also isolate, categorize, describe, or name factors and situations
Factor-Isolating Questions
Its goal is to determine the relationship among factors that have been identified. These are also usually questions for a non-experimental type of research
Factor-Relating Questions
usually yield hypotheses testing or
experimental designs in which the
researcher manipulates the variables to
see what will happen
Situation-Relating Questions
these questions establish explicit
goals for actions, develop plans or
prescriptions to achieve goals, and
specify the conditions under which
these goals will be accomplished.
Situation- Producing Questions
