Lesson 8 chapter 1 Flashcards
used to illustrate what you expect to find through your research, including how the variables you are considering might relate to each other
Conceptual Framework
A representation of the relationship you expect to see between your variables, or the characteristics or properties that you want to study
Conceptual Framework
used to understand the place of – and inform the direction of – a research project
Conceptual Framework
Forms of Conceptual Framework
Graphic
Narrative
Combination of the two
Purposes of Conceptual Framework
To clarify concepts and propose relationships among the concepts in a study
To provide a context for interpreting the study findings
To explain observations
To encourage theory development that is useful and practical
2 types of SOP
General Problem
Specific Problem
pertains to the opening paragraph that gives specific details on other essential elements which are the purpose, major variables, participants, setting, and time coverage of the study.
General Problem
Guidelines in Writing a General Problem
- The general problem should clearly state the main task/s of the researcher.
- The general problem should present the major variable/s related to the phenomenon to be investigated.
- The general problem should identify the participants of the study.
- The general problem should state the research setting as well as the time period of the study
- The general problem may indicate the intended output of the study such as an intervention program, module, policies, etc.
types of specific problems
Non researchable
Researchable
Answerable by yes or no
Non researchable
uses WH questions
Researchable
Also known as FACTOR NAMING QUESTIONS
They isolate, describe, or name factors and situations
What is this
Factor-isolating Questions
Their goal is to determine the relationship among factors that have been identified.
They are usually questions for a non-experimental type of research.
What is happening here?”
Factor-Relating Questions
These questions usually yield hypothesis testing or experimental study designs in which the researcher manipulates the variables to see what will happen
What will happen if?
Situation-Relating Question
These questions establish explicit goals for actions, develop plans or prescriptions to achieve goal, and specify the conditions under which goals will be accomplished
How can i make it happen
Situation-Producing Questions
a tentative explanation or an answer to a question about variables, their relationships, and other facts involved in the research.
Hypothesis
Purpose of hyphotesis
They guide you on which aspect of the research to focus on.
They provide opportunities to prove the relationship between variables.
They give the right direction of the research.
They push for an empirical study to prove the existence of relationship of variables and the effects of independent variable on the dependent variable.
Purpose of hyphotesis
They guide you on which aspect of the research to focus on.
They provide opportunities to prove the relationship between variables.
They give the right direction of the research.
They push for an empirical study to prove the existence of relationship of variables and the effects of independent variable on the dependent variable.
Types of Hyphotesis
Null - Ho negative ( no not )
Alternative - Hi positive
Complex - relationship ng 2 or more variables, can be negative or positive
Symbolized by Ho, which states the absence of relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
Null hypothesis
It is the symbolized by Hi
states the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables and the fact that the first affects the second one.
Alternative Hypothesis
Hypothesis formulated when predicting the relationship of two or more independent variable to two or more dependent variables.
Complex Hypothesis
discuss the purpose that the research will serve to society, the country, the government, the institution or agency concerned, the curriculum planners and developers, and the research community.
significance of the study
Describes the contribution of the study to the existing body of knowledge.
Significance of the study
It is the coverage of the research to be explored which includes the facts and theories about the subject
Scope
refers to the depth of your research area or parameters.
Scope
includes restriction of the target population, research local, specified duration, design, procedure, and instrument used.
Scope
this stands for the entire pool from which the sample is drawn.
Population
It refers to the particular location where the study is conducted.
Research Locale
This stands for the exclusive time frame when the research is conducted.
Specific Duration
This refers to the systematic plan for conducting research which includes strategies, process, techniques, and procedures for collecting and analyzing data
Research Method
This refers to the standard procedure, system, or rules that you follow in gathering data. It can be the permission in the conduct of the study, communication letter to the respondents, or agreement on the conduct of interview.
Protocols Followed
This refers to the step-by-step procedures that you employ before and during the data gathering.
Data gathering procedure
This refers to the step-by-step procedures that you employ before and during the data gathering.
Data gathering procedure
These are measurement devices that you use in your research. It can be in a form of test, survey, questionnaire, and the like. However, in qualitative research, you as the researcher is the instrument, and your interview guide serve as a tool in gathering the data
Instrument
These are the systematical processes you employ to describe or interpret your data. It can be thematic network analysis, dendogramming, structural analysis, text analysis, and Collaizi procedure.
Data analysis
refers to choices made by researcher that serves as boundary
Delimitation
It limits the scope and outlines the boundaries of the study.
Delimitation
Includes terms which should be interpreted in a manner unique to your research.
Definition of terms
Includes all the important variables in the study
