Practical Research 2 Flashcards
researcher ensures the transparency of
the data gathering and data interpretation processes
Verifiability
Able toapply the findingstothe
population in question.
Generality
This means that the researcher is
unbiased.
Objective
The researchers are expected to clearly define research questions to which the objectives are gathered.
Clearly define research questions
normally
gathers data using research tools such as questionnaires to collect measurable characteristics of the population.
Structured research instruments
Data are in the form of numbers and statistics
Numerical Data
It can be replicated or repeated to verify and confirm the results of such study in another setting.
Replication
Weakness of Quantitative Research
- Data may not be robust enough to explain complex issues.
- The researchdesign isrigid and not very
flexible. - A large sample size makes data
collection more costly
The nature of relationships between and among variables
Correlational Research
utilizes scientific method to test cause-and-effect relationships under conditions controlled by the researcher
Experimental Research
qualities or characteristics of persons like
age, gender, intelligence, ideas, ideas,
achievements, confidence, and so on that are involved in your research study.
Variables
Being measured without ordering of the
categories
Nominal
used to categorize particular attributes with an order or rank.
Ordinal
Provides order and interval of the
variables.
Interval
A numeric variable having a zero
value.
Ratio
Responsible with the conditions that act on
something else to bring about changes.
Independent Variables
the
result or effect of the changes brought about
(usually brought about by independent variables.)
Dependent
