Basic Components of Research |
1.) Generating a Hypothesis 2.) Determining a Method 3.) Selecting a Sample |
|
|
Hypothesis |
An inference that projects the results of the study |
|
|
Experimental Research seeks to determine what? |
Cause-and-effect |
|
|
Two types of Experimental Research include: |
1.) True Experimental 2.) Quasi-Experimental |
|
|
Non-experimental |
Descriptive Research Correlational or Relational Research Qualitative Research |
|
|
Descriptive Research |
Describes or defines a particular phenomenon |
|
|
Correlational or Relation Research |
Looks at the relationship between existing variables |
|
|
Qualitative Research |
Focuses on the view at the participant and highlights the personal meeting of the experience |
|
|
Three types of Qualitative Research |
1.) Grounded Theory 2.) Phenomenology 3.) Narrative Approaches |
|
|
Random selection is the best way to ensure |
representative sample |
|
|
Synonym for Validity |
Accuracy |
|
|
Synonym for reliability |
Consistency |
|
|
Research Problems |
Must be specific and have a focused intention |
|
|
Sampling |
Means of identifying and selecting the portion of the total population |
|
|
Random Sampling |
Every person in the population has an equal and independent opportunity to participate in the research |
|
|
Systematic Sampling |
Involves choosing every fifth or nth person on the list of potential participants. Systematic sampling has the weakness of periodicity. |
|
|
Stratified Random Sampling |
Ensures that the sample has the same proportion of strata as the population. |
|
|
Cluster Sampling |
Is used when the population is too large for simple random sampling methods |
|
|
Convenience Sampling |
Are samples that are made up of the members of the larger population that are more accessible to the researcher. |
|
|
Sample Size depends on: |
Type of study being conducted, the nature of the population under consideration, practical considerations of time, money, and other resources. |
