pakyu pr Flashcards
Encourages seeking information through interrogation.
-Allows you to gain soft skills such as cooperation, self-reflection, and problem solving
Inquiry
Discover through formal and systematic study or observation.
-Allows you to gain skills such as organization, communication, and attention to detail
-It is the process of gathering and analyzing data or information for specific purposes.
Research
-Subjective
-Thematic Data
Qualitative Research
-Objective
-Numerical Data
Quantitative Research

Thomas Kuhn’s Paradigm Shiff
Paradigm-> Experimentation, research, analysis->discover anomalies-> reconcile anomalies(give solution or recommendation)-> enden cycle
Principles of Research
Support an existing study
Debunk an existing study
Innovate a new study
Aims of Research
-verification of existing knowledge
-acquisition of new knowledge
-application of new knowledge
-advancement of the researcher’s expertise
It focuses on providing a foundation for future studies.

Functions of Research
Exploration
Description
Explanation
It aims to give additional information on newly discovered ideas.
Description
It discovers why new ideas came into existence through connecting ideas.
Explanation
Characteristic of a research:
Empirical or Experimental
Logical or Deductive
Cyclical or Moving in Cycles
Analytical or Coherent
Critical or Fault Finding
Methodical or Systematic
Replicable or Duplicated
-based from experience, experimentation and observation
-objective or unbiased
Empirical or Experimental
-based on valid procedures, frameworks and principles
-Follows a process
-supported by a certain methodology
Logical or Deductive
-starts with a problem and ends with a problem
-Seeking new informations using the gap of the past research
Cyclical or Moving in Cycles
-All data must be analyzed to elicit the desired meaning from the obtained information
Analytical or Coherent
-Exhibits careful and precision processing ideas and judgment
-Address gaps
Critical or Fault Finding
-Appropriate research methodology is used to ensure that researchers can collect relevant data
Methodical or Systematic
-research design and procedures are repeated to verify its validity, reliability, and consistency.
Replicable or Duplicated
Research Process
Step 1: Identifying and Defining the Research Problem
Step 2: Review the Literature
Step 3: Formulating Hypotheses and Designing the Study
Step 4: Planning the Research Design
Step 5: Collecting of and Organizing Data
Step 6: Analyzing Data and Testing Hypothesis
Step 7: Interpreting Data
Step 8: Reporting Research Finding
Objective /Purpose
Understanding the way people think and feel
Used to generate an outcome
Interpretation
- Understands underlying reasons
-Gains insights into the prevailing trends - Is interpretative and contextualized - Expresses data in terms of numerical values as gathered from the respondents
Hypotheses
May emerge/change as the study progresses
- Are specifically stated at the outset and tested therefore it can either be accepted or rejected; it cannot be changed
Sample
- Comes in small numbers - Referred to as participants or subjects - Identified using non-probability/purposive sampling
- Comes in large numbers - Referred to as respondents - Selected to represent the population of interest using probability/non-purposive sampling
Questions
Open-ended
Close-ended
Data collection
Unstructured (free in form) procedures
Structured procedures
Data analysis
Inductive analysis of data
- Minimal to no use of statistical test
- Deductive analysis of data
- Requires the use of statistical tests
Outcome
-Inclusive
-Needs further study before recommending a course of action
- Conclusive - Usually descriptive in nature
- Used to recommend a final course of action
- Produces results
Generalization
Findings are particularly in-depth about a certain phenomenon
Findings are generalized to all situations
