What is research?
Research is a scientific investigation to search for answers to problems.
Research is used for what?
This is utilized as evidence for practice in the various fields of discipline
How is research systemic?
It follows a step-by-step process. It is broken up into clear steps that lead to conclusions.
What are the phases of research?
- Conceptual
- Design and Planning Phase
- Empirical Phase
- Analytical Phase
- Dissemination
Conceptual phase’s characteristics are _____?
The what and why
Start: Development of research problem; similar to objectives
What is the question you should ask in the conceptual phase?
▪ Is this research question significant?
▪ Can the results be useful?
▪ Is it practical? and ethical?
✓All YES to the above questions, then
you may proceed to the next phases
What is the tip in the conceptual phase?
A critical ingredient is personal interest.
In conceptual phase it is important to ________?
State the purpose of the research, hence, analyze the questions below.
▪ Significant/important? To whom?
▪Useful/Beneficial? to whom
What is practical in the conceptual phase?
▪ consider the time frame for
▪ available funds and time
▪ Do you have the skill to do it?
What is ethical in the conceptual phase?
▪ Research Respondents/Participants must be treated Fair, Just, Right (vulnerable participants- children, pregnant, elderly PWD, prisoners, etc.)
▪ needs of research participants should always come before the objectives of the study
What happens in the design and planning phase?
▪ Overall plan to answer the question
▪ methods and procedures for the actual collection of data.
▪ Known as methodology/ methods/ materials (in research format)
What does methodology include?
Research design (type) Setting of the study Respondents Data gathering tool (What & how) Consent
What happens in the empirical phase?
Implementation
▪ collecting research data
▪ execution of the plan
▪ most time-consuming parts of the investigation
What happens in the analytical phase?
so what?
Analysis and interpretation (What does the data/findings mean?)
▪ Organize data
▪ Analysis: Statistical analyses (computation)
▪ Interprete results: implications explain the findings
▪ Draw conclusions
What happens in the dissemination phase?
▪ Communicate scientific results to specialized research fields and to people outside the disciplines. etikkom.no (2016)
✓Conferences
✓Publication
▪ Utilization of results
