Research Project Flashcards
This refers to the overall strategy that a researcher chooses and constitutes the
blueprint for the collection, measurement, and
analysis of data
Research Design
It introduces where the study is conducted
and the environment in which the data is
collected
Setting of the study
- This is where the researchers explained where
the needed data in their research is gathered
and how they were gathered
Source of Data
- This explains who the participants/respondents were, their number and how they were selected
Subject of the study
This part discusses the process and outlines
the steps and specific methods used to
conduct the research study.
Procedure of the study
is the group of individuals who will
actually participate in the research.
- They are your ‘respondents
Sample
-an aggregate or a set of all units/cases
being studied having at least one common
characteristics.
POPULATION
a chosen set of people to represent the
population
- can be considered as best
if it is representative of population
SAMPLE
choosing of respondents based on pure
chance.
- It gives equal chance to the members of the
accessible population being selected as part
of the study
Simple Random Sampling
picking out from the list every 5th or every 8th
member listed in the sampling frame until the
completion of the desired total number of
respondents
Systematic Sampling
- Sample was chosen proportionately drawn
from the different categories of the population
Stratified Random Sampling
n = N / 1 + N . e ^2
Slovin’s Formula
n = sample
N = total population
e^2 = margin of error
EXAMPLE: Find the sample size required for a
population size of 1000 if an error of 0.05 is
tolerated.
N= 1000 (population)
𝑒^2= 0.05 (margin of error
n= (1,000)/1+(1,000)((0.05)(0.05))
n= 286
the generic term that researchers use
for measurement device like survey, test,
questionnaire, and many others.
Research Instrument
type of instrument provides a series of
questions designed to elicit information,
which is filled by all participants
Questionnaire
a list of items that comprise several
questions that are answerable by “yes”
and “no” and needed to be checked
by a respondent for his research
