Rm Ch. 1: Research And Practice

Front 1

research-driven relationship

Back 1

reporting of research findings and the manner in which they are implemented in practice

Front 2

practice-drive relationship

Back 2

manner in which clinicians express their interests to researchers regarding their information needs and the input they provide to promote research.

Front 3

shared-interest relationship

Back 3

a continuum of interest exists between researchers and clinicians.

Front 4

scientific method

Back 4

experimental method of development of knowledge concerning truths of general operations or laws. 1. recognize problem, 2. collect data, 3. draw conclusions

Front 5

basic research purpose

Back 5

development of knowledge

Front 6

applied research purpose

Back 6

solve immediate problem

Front 7

descriptive research

Back 7

group differences, development trends, relationship between variables (empirical)

Front 8

experimental research

Back 8

causation via manipulation or variables under controlled conditions (empirical)

Front 9

empiricism

Back 9

knowledge gained via experience. use of evidence ot make inferences about general principles. relies on observation, so accuracy of observation is critical.

Front 10

rationalism

Back 10

knowledge gained via rational thinking. using dedcutive reasoning to make more specific inferences (all men are mortal: socrates is a man: socrates is mortal)

Front 11

statement of problem: (step 1 in behavior science research (empirical)

Back 11

purpose, research question in hypothesis. clear and concise. this is the rationale for study, and is supported by literature.

Front 12

method of investigation: (step 2 in behavior science research (empirical)

Back 12

strategy for investigation. subjects defined (considering representativeness), materials (tests, instruments conditions), procedures (how materials were used to study the subjects)

Front 13

results: (step 3 in behavior science research (empirical)

Back 13

report results often via tables, charts, etc

Front 14

conclusion: (step 4 in behavior science research (empirical)

Back 14

reflect back to the original problem

Front 15

theory construction

Back 15

theory is a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, etc that present a systematic view of phonemen aby specifying relationships with the purpose of explaining phenomena. Theory construction may be the result of empirical research. May be constructed rationally and tested empirically.

Front 16

evidence-based practice

Back 16

clinical decision making: 1. clinical experience 2. recognition of needs and perspectives of patient 3. identification of the best supporting scientific evidence

Front 17

primary sources

Back 17

first appearance of research in literature (articles, books)

Front 18

secondary sources

Back 18

describe, explain, or interpret the information contained in the primary sources (articles, books)

Front 19

tertiary sources

Back 19

provides information collated from various sources to present a broad or rudimentary overview (encyclopedia, text book)
