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.
Library research
Conducted in a natural setting. No changes are made in the environment. Applicable to both descriptive and experimental research.
Field research
Conducted in artificial or controlled conditions by isolating the study in a rigorous specified and operationalized area. Applicable to experimental, descriptive and case study.
Laboratory research
Rights to human subjects
- Right to privacy and dignity
- Right to anonymity and confidentiality
- Right to fair treatment
- Right to protection from discomfort and harm
Identity cannot be linked with his individual responses.
anonymity
Identity of the research subject will not be linked with the data or information he provides.
confidentiality
can be done through the **lottery method or table of random numbers. **(Fishing technique)
Types of probability sampling
Simple random sampling
uses the** sampling interval formula**. Sampling interval = total population/ desired sample size. (Ex: even or odd numbers)
Types of probability sampling
Systematic sampling
Used to ensure that different groups of the population are adequately included in the sample. (Ex: 1st year = 30 students, 2nd year = 30, 3rd yr = 30…)
Types of probability sampling
Stratified sampling
the selection of the sample is accomplished in more than 2 steps
Types of probability sampling
Multi-stage sampling
obtained when the researcher selects whatever sampling units are conveniently available.
Accidental or Convenience sampling
the sample depends upon the subjective judgment of the researcher.
Types of non-probability sampling
Purposive sampling
Types of non-probability sampling: researchers have an assignment of a certain number that must be covered by the research including several criteria.
Types of non-probability sampling
Quota sampling
starts with known sources of information who or which will in turn give other sources of information.
Types of non-probability sampling
Snowball sampling
This is used to find socially devalued urban populations such as addict, alcoholic, child abusers, and criminals because they are usually
Types of non-probability sampling
Networking sampling
