PR1 B Flashcards
triangulation approach
in this approach, you are free to gather and analyze data using multiple methods, allowing you to combine or mix up research approaches, research types, data gathering, and data analysis
-gives you the opportunity to view every angles of research from different perspectives (Badke, 2012)
naturalistic approach
uses words. this research approach directs you to deal with qualitative data speak of how people behave toward their surroundings. there are non-numerical data that expresses truths about the way people perceive or understand that world science people look at their word in a subjective or personal basis in an uncontrolled or unstructured manner.
scientific or positive approach
you discover and measure information as well as observe data and control variables in an impersonal manner. It allows control of variables therefore the data gathering techniques appropriate for this approach are structured interviews, questionnaires, and observational checklist. Data given by these techniques are expressed through numbers, which means that this method is suitable for quantitative research.
approaches to research
After choosing your topic for research, what is your next move? In other words, how are you going to begin your research, deal with your data, and establish a connection among all things or activities that you can choose from
secondary Data
Data already been written about or reported on and are available for reading purposes
Primary Data
obtained through direct observation or contact with people, objects, artifacts, paintings, etc. they are new and original information resulting from your sensory experience.
Quantitative researh
involves measurement of data. Thus, it presents research findings referring to the number of frequency of something in numerical forms (i. e., using percentage, fractions, numbers).
Qualitative research
requires non-numerical data, which means that the research uses words rather than numbers to express the result, the inquiry, or investigation about people’s thoughts, beliefs, feelings. views, and lifestyles regarding the object of the study. These opinionated answers from people are not measurable; so verbal language is the right way to express your findings
Based on Types of Data Needed
the kind of data you want to work on reflects whether you wish to do a quantitative or a qualitative research
Action Research
this type of research studies an ongoing practice of a school organization, community, or institution for the purpose of obtaining results that will bring improvements in the system.
Exploratory research
its purpose id to find out how reasonable or possible it is to conduct a research study on a certain topic. Here, you will discover ideas on topics that could trigger your interest in conducting research studies.
Explanatory research
This type of research elaborates or explains not just the reasons behind the relationship of two factors, but also the ways by which such relationship exists.
Correlational research
shows relationship or connectedness of two factors, circumstances, or agent called variables that affect the research. It is only concerned in indicating the existence of a relationship, not the causes and ways of the development of such relationship.
Based on Application of Research Method
is the research applied to theoretical or practical issues? if it deals with concepts, principles, or abstract things, it is a pure research. This type of research aims to increase your knowledge about something. However, if your intention is to apply your chosen research to societal problems or issues, finding ways to make positive changes in society, you call your research, applied research.
Based on Purpose of the Research
Depending on your objective or goal in conducting research, you do any of these types of research: descriptive, correlational, explanatory, exploratory, or action.
