Q

It encompasses any measurement procedures that involve asking questions of respondents.
Survey research is often used to collect thoughts, opinions, and feelings of people. The surveyed data is then organized, analysed and interpreted.
The most common tools used in survey research are interviews, questionnaires, and sampling polls to get a sense of behaviour with intense precision.

16
Q

is a systematic and scientific approach to research in which the researcher manipulates one or more variables, and controls and measures any change in other variables.

A

experimental research

17
Q

This determines whether the independent variable made a difference in the study. Can a cause and effect relationship be observed? To achieve internal validity, the researcher must design and conduct the study so that the independent variable can be the cause of the results.

A

internal validity

18
Q

refers to the extent to which findings can be generalized or be considered representative of the population

A

external validity

19
Q

value of quantitative research

A
  • More reliable and objective.
  • Can use statistics to generalize a finding.
  • Often reduces and restructures a complex problem to a limited number of variables.
  • Looks at relationships between variables and can establish cause-and-effect in highly controlled circumstances.
  • Tests theories or hypotheses.
  • Assumes sample is representative of the population.
  • Subjectivity of researcher in methodology is recognized less.
  • Less detailed than qualitative data and may miss a desired response from the participant.

Q

Anything that can vary in research

A

variable

21
Q

is an object, event, idea, feeling, time period, or any other type of category you are trying to measure

A

variable

22
Q

types of Variable

A

Cause and Effect
Value taken by the Variable
Scales of Measurement

23
Q

A variable is either a result of some force or is itself the force that causes a change in another variable. In experiments, these are called independent variable (IV), dependent variable(DV) and extraneous variable (EV)

A

cause and effect

24
Q

A continuous variable can take on any value in a certain range. Time, distance, mass, age, temperature and pH are continuous variables.

A

value taken by the variable

25
Q

value separate a variable from other by naming it. This servers to identify the group.
Do not imply any ordering among the responses. It does not matter which comes first

A

nominal

26
Q

or ranking refers to order of sequence.

A

ordinal

27
Q

Equal intervals or distances between adjacent numbers

A

interval

28
Q

Differences between measurements

A

ratio

29
Q

There are 8 possible AOI that is ready to be explored.

A

mathematics
natural sciences
human sciences
history
the arts
ethics
religious knowledge systems
