Q1 WEEK 1 Flashcards
What is research?
Research is a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information in order to increase our underestanding of a phenomenon about which we are interested in.
7 STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
- Identification of problem
- Gathering of data through credible and reliable sources
- Formulation of hypothesis
- Conducting an experiment
- Analysis of interpretation of results
- Drawing conclusions
- Stating recommendations

WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD RESEARCH TITLE?
- 25 words at most
- you have to be able to see the content and purpose
- you have to be able to see the research design (e.g quantitative or qualitative)
What is a Research Design?
- Aresearch design is a strategy for answering yourresearch question.
- It defines your overall approach and determines how you will collect and analyze data.
- Blueprint of Scientific Study
2 Types of Research Design
- Qualitative (___________,____________) *what are the research instruments used
- Quantitative (_________, ____________) *what are the research instruments used
- Interview and Observation
- Experiement and Survey
Kinds of Qualitative Research
- Case Study
- Phenomenology
- Historical Analysis
- Content and Discourse
- Narrative
What is Phenomenology
Study of experiences of people or the phenomenon happening around them naturally or in a natural setting. For example, festivals or fiesta which naturally happen in a community
What is Case Study?
Somehow it’s under Phenomenology but is more specific on a subject and it is unique or not considered normal in a certain situation.
- in depth study on why they behave like that
e.g, a mother with 7 children and the father of those 7 children were all different
What is Historical Analysis?
Study of events that happened in the past
analyze what is true
e.g controversy of Rizal marrying his cousin
What is Content and Discourse Qualitative Research
Also known as Communication Study
- study on the way a person talks,
the literal meaning or what he said exactly is the CONTENT while the meaning behind the those words is DISCOURSE
What is Narrative?
Your own experience
- it was unusual in a natural setting
- it happened recently
- quali…like MPK
Kinds of Quantitative Research
Descriptive
Correlational
Experimental
Quasi-Experimental
What is Descriptive Research
- variables are measured through numbers and aims to describe things through numbers
- those data should be absolute/cannot be changed
What is Correlational Research?
Investigates relationships between 2 variables without the research manipulation or controlling any of them
- data is also absolute (its similarity with descriptive research
What is Quasi-Experimental?
- “false” or “sort of” an experiment
- you do not intend to experiment on them
- result by chance
- subjects are only identified after the experiment
- you do not know your subject prior to the experiment
What is Experimental Research?
- you can manipulate variable while keeping otehr variables in control
- Independent Variable: we can change
- randomly assigns subjects
- you know the subjects prior to the experiment
ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Internal Validity [Credibility]
External Validity [Transferability]
Reliability [Dependability]
Objectivity [Confirmability]
