RS Method Flashcards
According to Green and Tull : it is the specification of methods and procedures for acquiring the information needed.
Research Design
According to Kerlinger : it is the plan, structure, and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answers to research questions and to control variance”.
Research Design
the place or setting of the study
Research Locale
Any individual that answers questions during an interview or replies to a survey.
Respondents
As a general rule, the larger the sample, the more reliable is the result of the study
Sample Size Population/Participants
Sampling Designs:
(Simple) Random Sampling
Systematic Sampling
Stratified Sampling
Cluster Sampling
Multi-stage Sampling
It is a design that uses a group as a sample rather than an individual.
Cluster Sampling
It is dividing the population into strata and drawing the sample at random from each division.
Stratified Sampling
It entails using a list of the population and deciding how the nth name is chosen.
Systematic Sampling
All members of a population are given an equal chance to be selected.
(Simple) Random Sampling
It is choosing the nth name in a population as the sample.
Systematic Sampling
Selection is made either by drawing a lot or the use of the table of random num
(Simple) Random Sampling
Here the population is grouped by hierarchy from which sampling is
done in each stage.
Multi-stage Sampling
It is the most rigorous research design.
Experiment
This method involves questionnaires or interviews to collect data about people and their preferences, thoughts, behaviors, opinions, and attitudes in a systematic manner.
Survey Research
This approach analyzes documents and texts that seek to quantify content in terms of predetermined categories and a systematic and replicable manner.
Content Analysis
The use and analysis of official statistics for social research purposes is another alternative to collecting quantitative data.
Official Statistics
4 Types of Research Instruments:
- Structured Interview
- Self-Completion Questionnaire
- Survey Questionnaires
- Test Papers
Typically used in Education, these instruments are used to measure academic performance or achievements in various learning areas
Test Papers
This instrument is typically used during survey research.
Survey Questionnaires
the content is more of knowing someone’s opinion, attitude, or
perception
Survey Questionnaires
known as the Self-Administered Questionnaire (SAQ), which is pretty much the same as the structured interview. The difference is it is self-accomplished and has no
interviewer.
Self-Completion Questionnaire
is also called a standardized interview.
Structured Interview
used for measuring the meaning of things and concepts
