2 approach research
quali quanti
Complete detailed
description
quali
classify feature, count them a nd construct statistical models.
quanti
researcher is the primal data gathering instrument
quali
all aspect of the study are carefully designed before data is collected
quanti
data is rich, time-consuming and less able to be genralized
quali
data nis more efficient, able to test hypothesis but may miss contextual details
quati
research can be
basic or applied
Information gathering.
Answering what, why, and how research questions
basic
A non-systematic process of providing solutions to the specific problems or
issues.
applied
WHY MUST WE CONDUCT
RESEARCH? aims:
TO CREATE NEW
KNOWLEDGE
VALIDATE AND PROVE
EXISTING KNOWLEDGE
TO UTILIZE NEW
KNOWLEDGE
To prove the researchers
4 research design
correlation
casual comparative
experimental
descripyive
Attempts to know the degree of the relationship
between two or more variables using statistical
information
correlation
Ex. The more time you spend running on a thread-mill,
the more calories you will burn.
——–
Ex. A student who has many absences, has a decrease
in grades.
——–
Ex. The height of the students and exam scores.
positive negative zero
Tries to explain the cause-and-effect relationship
among variables.
Ex: The effect of taking multivitamins on a students’
school absenteeism.
casual-comparative
The most effective method for testing cause and
effect relationship.
It is also known as true experimentation as it uses the scientific method to gain the viable and
acceptable results.
Ex: Effect of salt on the plant growth.
experimentla
A means to describe a behavior of a variable
without manipulating it.
Possibly the simplest research design as in only tries to describe what exists and may
help uncover new findings and learnings
Ex. A company studies the behavior of its customers to
identify its target market before it launches a new
product
descriptive
2 variables
independent iv dependent dv
Input variable, the
controlled or manipulated
by the Researcher.
independent
Outcome variable,
affected by the
independent variable.
dependent
2 statistical data
categorical numerical
categorical 2
nominal ordinal
- Categories with no
order ranking.
classifies individuals, objects, or responses based on the common
characteristic though it is limited to descriptive categories
cannot be ranked
because these are limited to descriptive categories, though we may count the frequencies
nominal
- Categories that
maintain an order.
it has a characteristics of nominal variables but ranked in a certain order
ordinal
2 numerical
interval ratio
- True zero point, where
zero does not exist
has the characteristics of the other three (3) variables.
They are
based on a fixed beginning point which is called a “true zero (0) point”, where the value of zero (0)
does not exist.
ratio
Used to measure
variables with equal intervals
between values.
– numerical variables that are rank-ordered, with values in ranges
interval
n once said: “Research is what I am doing when
I do not know what I am doing.”
clue: German-American rocket scientist
Wernher Von Braun
a task that involves studying and trying to gain and find out facts
about it
research
The latter is sought only to gain
new knowledge or to gain a significant amount or mastery in a given subject
or topic,
basic
is done to seek application of knowledge
even if the information is old.
applied
The knowledge that we have at present may be outdated.
It is the responsibility of the researcher to gain new information about a certain topic.
Create new knowledge or information –
It is important that knowledge should not remain stagnant. Using the
acquired knowledge could produce other facts. Learning can only be appreciated fully if it is used
or applied.
Utilize the new knowledge –
an established fact can be rendered outdated and is prone to be
challenged. In order for this fact to become a reliable or credible, research should be done in order
to validate its truthfulness.
Validate existing knowledge
conducting research challenges the researcher to be creative, ethical and
seek help from reputable individuals if s/he is having difficulty. Conducting research also makes
the researcher contribute more for the well-being of others.
Improve the researcher
The former is concerned on the examination of relationship between variables with the goal
to study the relationship mathematically through statistical analysis
quanti
The latter is concerned with
explaining and searching answer about a phenomena or an occurrence.
quali
These two (2) are often
employed when conducting research in the field of social science.
quali quanti
A researcher must first determine
which of these two main approach s/he should use. After that, a research should determine which———-
research design
s. These observable traits can be called as ——. These ——
serve as a foundation for gathering, organizing, presenting, and studying data in quantitative research
variables
also known as the input variable is the probable cause of an
occurrence. It does not easily change. It is the variable that is controlled or manipulated by the
researcher so s/he may know if altering it would change the dependent variable or at least give off
minute reactions.
The ——- is the condition that you change in an experiment or study.
This is the variable that you can control. Its value is not affected and does not depend on the state of any other variable in an experiment.
independent
also known as the outcome variable. It is affected by the
independent variables and changes due to the manipulation and alteration of the independent variable.
The ——– on the other hand is the condition that you measure in the experiment.
You test how it reacts to a change in the independent variable.
It is also known as the responding variable.
dependent
As mentioned, variables are measureable. The date variables contain can be grouped as categorical
variables or numerical variables. —–variables may be placed in a ranking order, while
—— variables have values or numerical measurements.
Categorical numerical
Identifying a —— or problem is one of the most important steps in the whole research
process.
research topic
- It is a general idea, problem, or issue being
considered for investigation. - It is a way of framing the question as a series
of simple but direct statements.
RESEARCH TOPIC
- Intended to be answered through research
- Helps the researcher focus on a particular
aspect of the overall body of knowledge that
s/he will frame through literature review.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
According to Clamor-Torneo &Torneo (2017), there are three (3) possible sources where we,
researchers, can get research topics:
personal
non-schollarly
scholarly sources
these sources primarily came from ——— experiences or the things a
researcher has observed in his or her everyday living. It comes from inclinations, views, or values
- Personal sources
– these sources come from newspaper, magazines, radio, television, and
internet sources. It provides data on current events. One advantage of these sources is that the
commentaries of the hosts of newscasts or radio programs may be subjected to empirical testing.
- Non-scholarly sources –
