Research Exam Flashcards
the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
Research
randomly selected set of respondents is
subjected to a certain treatment in order to determine
its effect
Experimental
used to describe a person or a
group’s characteristics.
Descriptive
indicates if two variables have a negative
or positive correlation and clarifies the degree and nature of variable relationships.
Correlation
makes use of historical data to forecast
changeable behavior. It analyzes data trends from the past.
Historical
looks at the causes and effects of
variables, such as how demand for liquor and
wine declines as prices rise.
Causal
It shall contain factual and accurate
details in which the footnotes, annotations and
bibliographical entries are properly and adequately recorded or recognized
Accuracy
- It must be achieved in an orderly or
coordinated manner.
Systematic
Different types of research
Experimental, Descriptive, Correlation, Causal, Historical
It needs to present evidence and not
simply beliefs formed from suppositions,
generalizations, predictions or conclusions
Objectivity
It has to work on a fresh, new and
fascinating subject for society today.
Timeliness
- It must play a role in strengthening
society or addressing issues that impact people’s lives in a group.
Relevance
-It must succeed in communicating its
central point or findings by using a clear,
straightforward, concise and accurate language.
Clarity
It must focus on what is advantageous or
helpful instead of what is harmful by respecting
confidentiality, independence or freedom preferences.
Ethical
As define in Ransome (2013, as cited in Baraceros, 2019), ________ is an act of quoting or copying the exact words of the writer and passing the quoted words off as your own words. The leading act of plagiarism is using the words of the original text in expressing your understanding of the reading material. The right way to avoid plagiarism is to express the borrowed ideas in your own words.
Plagiarism
It focuses on gaining insights and understanding
about an individual ‘s perception and interpretations
of events

- Organization of the Study
presents the different readings, literature,
and research studies from different proponents.
RRL (Review of Related Literature)
to integrate.
Synthesize
It is to review the current interpretations on some kind of particular topic. It is demonstrative, analytic, observational, and methodologically uncertain and unstable or unspecific, and this is vulnerable to the ambiguity of the researcher.
Traditional Review of Literature
Analysis of concepts or ideas to give meaning to some national or world issues
Conceptual Review
focuses on theories or hypothesis and examines meanings and result of their application to situations
Critical Review
makes the researcher deal with the latest research studies on the subject
State-of-the-Art review
encourage a well-known expert to do the RRL because of the influence of a certain ideology, paradigm or belief on him/her
Expert Review
prepares a situation for a future research work in the form of project working about community development, government policies, and health services, among others.
Scoping review
As its term implies, systematic, which is to suggest methodological, is often a process of RRL that involves systematic analyses of previous studies as well as being a thorough way of extracting information from published literature. Only use peer-reviewed articles, scholastically published works, and quantitative scientific data evaluation. It guarantees objectivity at any point of the analysis.
Systematic Review of Literature
4 Steps of Synthesizing Information from Relevant Literature
- Set up all of your references
- Classify a concept
- Start writing a thematic sentence
- Review, edit, and update
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH
- To learn how to work independently,
- To learn how to work scientifically or systematically,
- To have an in-depth knowledge of something,
- To elevate your mental abilities by letting you think
in higher-order thinking strategies (HOTS) of inferring,
evaluating, synthesizing, appreciating, applying, and
creating, - To improve your reading and writing skills,
- To be familiar with the basic tools of research and
the various techniques of
gathering data and of presenting research findings, - To free yourself, to a certain extent, from the
domination or strong influence of a single textbook or
of the professor’s lone viewpoint or spoon-feeding.
Advantages of Research
● It adopts a naturalistic approach to its subject
matter which means that the participants are
involved in real settings.
● It promotes a full understanding of human
behavior or personality traits in their natural
setting.
● It is instrumental for positive societal changes
● It engenders respect for people’s individuality
as it demands the researcher’s careful and
attentive stand toward people’s worldviews.
● It is a way of understanding and interpreting
social interactions.
● It increases the researcher’s interest in the
study as it includes the researcher’s experience
or background knowledge in interpreting verbal
and visual data.
● It offers multiple ways of acquiring and
examining knowledge about something.
Disadvantages of Research
It involves a lot of researcher’s subjectivity in
data analysis.
● It is hard to know the validity or reliability of the
data.
● Its open-ended questions yield “data overload”
● It is time-consuming.
● It involves several processes which results
greatly depend on the research’s views or
interpretations.
