Research Design Flashcards
a process of naturalistic inquiry that seeks an in-depth understanding of social phenomena within their natural setting.
Qualitative approach
you immerse yourself in the target participants’ environment to understand the goals, cultures, challenges, motivations, and themes that emerge.
Ethnography
weaves together a sequence of events, usually from just one or two individuals to form a cohesive story.
Narrative
is an appropriate qualitative method when you want to describe an event, activity, or phenomenon.
Phenomenological
a way of explaining an organization, entity, company, or event which involves a deep understanding through multiple types of data sources.
Case Study
An objective, systematic empirical investigation of observable phenomena through the use of computational techniques. It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased results that can be generalized to some larger population and explain a particular observation.
Quantitative Research
uses interviews, questionnaires, and sampling polls to get a sense of behavior with intense precision.
Survey Research
tests for the relationships between two variables.
Correlational Research
research looks to uncover a cause-and-effect relationship
Causal-comparative
is guided specifically by a hypothesis. To come up with the chosen design whether quantitative or qualitative research, think of which best suits the given title or topic to explore the collective ideas and picture out to reveal better understanding.
Experimental Research
cultural immersion
ethnography
intensive study about the subject
case study
guided specifically by a hypothesis
experimental
tests the relationship between 2 variables
correlational
