PART 2 Flashcards
Before conducting any research project
We must go through knowledge of previous research findings.
A review of the past will help the researchers to clarify the idea and design study.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources on a specific topic.
It provides an OVERVIEW of current KNOWLEDGE, allowing you to identify relevant theories and methods.
Steps for a good literature review
- Define the object (What do I want to find?)
- Define the search statement (Keyword)
- Select where you are going to conduct your search (Google Scholar)
- Define the search of strategy (Desctriports (terms)
- Execution of the search and review of the results
The literature review
Searching scientific articles with keyword
> Regoctioton of emotion
(Key word connectors) = aka: Boolean operators
(Key word truncators ?*”..)
What would you look for…
(Practise)
Find an empirical article or review about..
The literature review
(Keep in mind..)
The scientifically relevant literature in a source consists of the last studies in the field, established schools of thought, scholarly articles, and scientific journals.
LITERATURE SEARCH IS NOT ABOUT FINDING RELEVANT PAPERS, IT’S ABOUT READING RELEVANT PAPERS
The literature review
(Keep in mind..)
This is about reading a lot…
Science can be thought of as the combination of three essential things:
- A communal collection of KNOWLEDGE (both fact/data theories)
- A METHOD of evaluating the efficacy of scientific theories by comparing the predictions of those theories to observation/experiment.
- An attitude of skeptical inquiry and the belief that all scientific knowledge is provisional and subject to revision when confronted with new evidence.
Þetta snýst um að lesa mikið…
Líta má á vísindi sem samsetningu þriggja mikilvægra hluta:
- Sameiginlegt safn ÞEKKINGAR (bæði staðreyndir/gagnakenningar)
- AÐFERÐ til að meta virkni vísindakenninga með því að bera saman spár þessara kenninga við athuganir/tilraunir.
- Afstaða efasemdaleitar og þeirrar trúar að öll vísindaleg þekking sé bráðabirgðaþekking og háð endurskoðun þegar ný sönnunargögn blasa við.
Asking Scientific Questions (Bae)
Basic Lvl: (Problem) = Do bad people tell lies?
Advanced Lvl (Any Problem) = Do people with antisocial personalities tell more lies than those without personalities?
Expert Lvl = Is the Dark Tetrad of personality related to telling lies in a trial?
Asking Scientific Questions
> Choose question research that no one has ever done before
>The knowledge obtained will be of importance for science
> For a question to be scientifically relevant, it must be answered by empirical study (Carry out experiment > Not just thinking about something and writing it down)
The scientific question
A question that may lead to a hypothesis and allow the answering through observation and examination
Good Scientific = have an answer and be testable
Flexible = generate hypothesis can be shown to fail
Topic Selection, Identify the problem. Respecting ethical principles:
Principle A) Beneficiene and Nonmaleficieence: Benefit of whom they work and take care to do no harm.
Principle B) Fidelity and Responsability: Relationship of trust who they work with
Principle C) Integrity: Promote accuracy, honesty, truthfulness in science.
Principle D) Justice: Fairness and justice entitle all person to access to.
Principle E) Respect for people’s right and dignity
The importance of Ethical Principle!
