Pr-2 Flashcards
states the situation or circumstances within which your
research topic is conceptualized.
Background of the study
is the focus of investigation
Research Problem
Characteristics of good research questions
feasible, clear, significant, and ethical
specifies the coverage of your study such as variables, population or
participant, and timeline
scope
cites factors of your study that are not included or
excluded or those you will not deal in your study
Delimitation
is the structure or blueprint of the research plan and helps the researcher
formulate relevant research questions.
Research Framework
is used for studies which anchor on time-tested theories that relate the
findings of the investigation to the underpinning relevant theory of knowledge.
Theoretical framework
is the actual ideas, beliefs, and tentative theories that
specifically support the study.
Conceptual framework
is a visual representation of information that helps show the relationship between
ideas.
Concept map
is the meaning of the term that is based on how it is define in the
dictionary or encyclopedia.
Conceptual definition
is the meaning of the term based on how it was used in the study.
Operational definition
is an assumption about the relationship between two or more variables.
Hypothesis
There are seven basic types of hypothesis; these are
Simple, Complex, Empirical, Logical,
Statistical, Null, and Alternative
relates relationship between the variables and can also predict its
nature. It illustrates the direct association of the impact of the independent variable to the
dependent variable whether it is positively or negatively affected. The direction of the statement
should be clear and justified according to the findings of the study.
Directional hypothesis
is used when there is no principle involved. It is a premise that the
direction of the effect is not specifically determined. It is a statement that reflects the association
of the independent variable to the dependent variable without predicting the exact nature of
direction of the relationship
Non-directional hypothesis
is a compilation of studies related to a specific area of
research. It evaluates, classifies and summarizes all the relevant previous studies conducted
on a specified topic.
Review of related literature
is primarily focused on the content or contextual aspect of research. Usually it
is a type of review in which the researcher relates his or her study to a larger body of knowledge.
Context review
a specialized type of literature review in which the researcher
organizes the related researches according to the period of time it was conducted. It focuses on
probing research in a specified field throughout a chronological order, which usually starts from
the farthest period of time going to the most recent studies.
Historical reviews
is a common type of literature review in which the researcher
introduces and summarizes the recent knowledge of the study. It emphasizes the
agreements and disagreements of knowledge among various previous researches
Integrative review
is a specialized type of literature review in which the researcher
gathers and compares and contrast other studies to the current research. It basically summarizes
and evaluates the strengths and gaps in methodological aspects of various studies.
Methodological review
bits of information or facts known by everyone
Data
are measurable, numerical, and related to a metrical system
Quantitative data
