MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY Flashcards
- The process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest.
-It also answers stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.
Data Collection
What are the consideration for planning data collection?
- Subject/participants
- Schedule
- Finances
- Miscellaneous considerations
- This pertains to the people or your respondents in the study.
Subject/participants
-The date or time to be used during data collection from participants.
Schedule
The expenses to be incurred in data collection such as printing of materials, travel allowance, etc
Finances
Safety, Respondents’ Motivation, Protocol/Seek Approval
Miscellaneous Considerations
The process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest.
Survey/Questionnaire
The data are presented in rows and columns with values and results
Table
The data shows the relations, comparisons, and distribution of values and percentages
Graph
Enumerate the elements of the graph
- Title
- Labels
- Depth and Axes
- Colors
it describes the data set
Title
it gives representation of the axes and parts of graph
Labels
it means depth of a point relative to a given data set; axes are lines on a graph
Depth and Axes
it has enough shades or tint to make contrast between the background and data to be clearly seen
Colors
It shows relationship of parts of the whole concept
Pie graph
The data values are expressed at different points in time
Line graph
The values are presented horizontally where it is used as the results of data
Bar graph
The values are expressed in different time periods or other data groupings in a vertical form
Column Graph
This commonly emphasized the area showing the rise and fall of various data series over time with colors, textures and hatchings.
Area graph
the culmination of the long process of formulating a hypothesis, constructing the instrument, and collecting data. It is used to properly test the hypothesis, answer the research questions, and presents the results of the study in a clear and understandable manner. In quantitative research, it deals with numerical data, as in most surveys and experiments, it is logical to use statistical treatment.
Statistical Treatment
What are the two branches of statistics?
- Descriptive Statistics
-Inferential Statistics
It involves tabulating, depicting, and describing the collected data. The data are summarized to reveal overall data patterns and make them manageable.
Descriptive Statistics
It involves making generalizations about the population through a sample drawn from it. It also includes hypothesis testing and sampling. It is concerned with parametric (interval and ratio scale) and non-parametric (nominal and ordinal scale) statistical tools.
Inferential Statistics
What are the common statistical tools in descriptive statistics?
- Frequency Distribution
- Proportion
- Percentage
4.Measures of Central Tendency. - Variability or Dispersion
It is the record of the number of individuals or cases located in each category on the scale of measurement.
