research approach Flashcards
Plans or procedures for research that span the steps from broad assumptions to detailed methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Also called research design or research methods.
Research approach
An approach for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem.
Qualitative Research
An approach for testing objective theories by examining the relationship among measurable variables.
Quantitative research
An approach to inquiry involves collecting both qualitative and quantitative data, integrating the two forms of data. It involves a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide a more complete understanding of a research problem than either approach alone.
Mixed method research
A form of mixed method design in which the researcher converges or merges quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis of the research problem. The researcher typically collects both forms of data at the same time and then integrates the information in the interpretation of the overall results.
Convergent parallel mixed method
A form of mixed method design in which the the researcher first conducts quantitative research, analyze the result, and then builds on the results to explain them in detail with qualitative research
Explanatory sequential mixed method
A design in which the researcher begins with qualitative research explores the views of the participants. The data are then analyzed and built into a second, quantitative phase.
Exploratory sequential mixed method
Research design is where researchers are active agents and not merely passive observers. The researcher consciously manipulates the conditions in the study and makes observations in a tightly controlled environment.
True experimental research
Summarizes the status of phenomena observed within the natural environment and without any manipulation of the independent variable.
Descriptive research design
examine relationships among variables but does not involve manipulation or control of the independent variable, which has already occurred.
Correlational research design
“The Lived experiences of people with leprosy: healing wounds while fostering hope”
Phenomenological
“The vanishing health practices of Aetas”
Ethnography
“Doing my best: Poverty and self-care among
individuals DM”
Grounded theory
“A historical analysis of disclosure of terminal status”
Historical
Done in the library where answers to specific questions or problems of the study are available. Applicable to historical research.
