Module 1: Introduction to Research Flashcards
it is the systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of natural phenomena that is guided by theory and hypothesis about the presumed relations among such phenomena
Research
it is defined as the multiple, systematic strategies to generate knowledge about human behavior, experience and environment
Research
What are the 4 criteria of Research
- Logical
- Understandable
- Confirmable
- Useful
what is the heart of a research
methodology
What does the occupational science study
Form
Function
Meaning
What does Experimental-type design mean
It is trial and error research to identify the cause and effect
What does Naturalistic Inquiry mean
a wide range research that focus on understanding and interpreting human experience within the context where experience occurs
What are the three thought and action processes of research
Inductive
Abductive
Deductive
means that there are no priori acceptance of truth “exists”
Inductive/Abductive
Inductive = theory is \_\_\_\_\_ Deductive = theory is \_\_\_\_
Developed
Tested
Inductive = perspective is \_\_\_\_ Deductive = perspective is \_\_\_
Holistic
Atomistic
Inductive or Deductive?
Concepts are developed based on repetition of patterns
Inductive
Inductive or Deductive?
Concepts are tested based on application to discrete phenomena
Deductive
Ind/Ded?
Alternative conclusions can be drawn from data
Inductive
Ind/Ded?
One set of conclusions is accepted as true
Deductive
specific to general idea
Inductive
general to specific idea
Deductive
It explains the phenomena addressed in practice and provides a rationale for practice
Theory
where you generate clinical practices addressed by theory and research
Practice
What are the 2 research methods
Quali
Quanti
What are the research designs? (7)
-Experimental
-Quasi-experimental
Single subject design
-field studies
-naturalistic observation
-surveys
psychometric studies
3 research purposes
- basic
- Applied
- Transformative
Research purpose that emphasizes the importance of value-free science
purpose is to inform practice, laws and policies
basic
Research purpose that seeks to solve practical problem
*Clinical
Applied
Research purpose that is designed to bring about change in some practical situations
- done to enable groups who are marginalized and oppressed
- Action researches
Transformative
Research method that aims to discover natural laws that enables prediction or control of events
Quanti
research method that aims to understand social life and describe how people construct social meaning
Quali
What are the 8 steps of research process based on kielhofner
- Review literature
- Identify research question
- Design the study
- Write the Research plan/proposal
- Obtain ethical approval
- Implement study and collect data
- Interpret data
- Disseminate findings
What are the 5 steps of research process based on Portney & Watkins
- Identify research question
- Design the study
- Methods
- Data Analysis
- Communication
What are the four research roles
producer
collaborator
consumer
advocate
Research role where you are doer of research
- can be academic, practitioners, researchers/students
- leads investigations and develop team
- generates published papers, conferences, presentations and books
Research producer
role where you become the subjects/participant
- you refer and screen clients for studies
- collects data and implement services
- serves on the advisory board of a research grant
- role where you help investigators negotiate the politics and administrative process of research
Research collaborator
Role where you apply the research into practice
you are part of being a reflective practitioner
-role where you are able to critically appraise an article
Research consumer
role where you provide momentum and support for research
- you are involved in an association
- policymakers/legislator
- donates money and encourages colleague involved in the research
- responding to agency invitations to comment on research priorities
Research Advocates
