is the simplest form of research, and is carried out by
observing a group or groups of dependent variables
after the treatment of an independent variable which
is presumed to cause change on the group(s)

Q

It is a personal interview that is carried out with
one respondent at a time. This is purely a
conversational method and invites opportunities
to get details in depth from the respondent

Q

is the most in-depth
observational method that studies people in their
naturally occurring environment

A

ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH:

18
Q

requires the researchers to adapt to
the target audiences’ environments which could
be anywhere from an organization to a city or any
remote location

A

ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH:

19
Q

has evolved over the past
few years and developed into a valuable
qualitative research method

A

CASE STUDY RESEARCH

20
Q

makes use of the already existing
reliable documents and similar sources of
information as the data source. This is similar to going to a library

A

RECORD KEEPING

21
Q

is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena
by gathering quantifiable data and performing
statistical, mathematical, or computational
techniques.

A

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

22
Q

used to ask questions to a sample of
respondents, using various types such as online
polls, online surveys, paper questionnaires,
web-intercept surveys

A

SURVEY RESEARCH

23
Q

are
observational surveys
conducted in situations where
the researcher intends to collect data from sample of the
target population at a given
point in time

A

Cross-sectional surveys

24
Q

also
observational surveys
conducted across various
time durations to observe a
change in respondent
behavior and
thought-processes

A

Longitudinal surveys

25
A comparison between two entities is invariable. To establish a relationship between two closely-knit entities and how one impacts the other and what are the changes that are eventually observed
CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH
26
The independent variable is established but not manipulated, and its impact on the dependent variable is observed
CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE RESEARCH
27
this research method is reliant on a theory. This theory has not been proven in the past and is merely a supposition
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
28
is a type of research that describes a population, situation, or phenomenon that is being studied. It focuses on answering the how, what, when, and where questions
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
29
simply something about one or all of the things being compared. This technique often utilizes multiple disciplines in one stud
COMPARATIVE
30
observing two variables in order to establish a statistically corresponding relationship between them
CORRELATIONAL
31
Investigators administer a ____ to a simple or to the entire population of people to describe the attitudes, opinions, behaviors or characteristics of the population
SURVEY
32
- Describe experiences as they are lived. - Examines individual's lived situation - Each person has own reality; reality is subjective
PHENOMENAL
33
y is a research method that will enable you to: develop a theory which offers an explanation about the main concern of the population of your substantive area and how that concern is resolved or processed
GROUNDED THEORY
34
is a study through direct observation of users in their natural environment rather than in a lab
ETHNOGRAPHIC
35
attempts to systematically recapture the complex nuances, the people, meanings, events, and even ideas of the past that have influenced and shaped the present
HISTORICAL
36
have evolved over the past few years as a useful tool for investigating trends and specific situations in many scientific disciplines
CASE STUDY
37
Present an overview of current research on the issue or problem. This may include current data/statistics
Trends
38
Identify the gap, problem or gray area of the topic of interest. Present literatures/findings of different authors of the same topic
Issues/problem
39
Based on the identified issues/problem state your general research question or intent of the study and hypothesis to fill the gap or answer the identified problems of the topic of interest
Objectives
40
State the value and relevance of your research, why is your study relevant, what will it contribute to the profession and the stakeholders and why should we care about your research
Contribution
