3.8. DEDUCTIVE RESEARCH
“A deductive approach is concerned with developing a hypothesis (or hypotheses) based on existing theory, and then designing a research strategy to test the hypothesis” (Wilson, 2010:7)
Monette et al (2005: 34) further explains deductive approach by the means of hypotheses, which can be derived from the propositions of the theory. In other words, deductive approach is concerned with deducting conclusions from premises or propositions. “Deduction begins with an expected pattern that is tested against observations, whereas induction begins with observations and seeks to find a pattern within them” (Babbie, 2010: 52).
Is has been stated that “deductive means reasoning from the particular to the general. If a casual relationship …show more content…
• Active and interesting lesson.
• Students are actively involved in the lesson.
• Attentive and motivated.
• Student-centered (two-way communication).
3.9.2. Disadvantages of Inductive research Approach
• Time-taking
• Sometimes can frustrate who would prefer simply to be told the rule.
• Learning styles/inability to discover themselves.
• Students may reach false conclusions on grammar rules.
• Place heavy demands on teachers in planning lesson.
• Need to select and organize the data carefully.
3.10. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH APPROACH
The experimental method is the only method of research that can truly test hypotheses concerning cause-and-effect relationships. It represents the most valid approach to the solution of education problems, both practical and theoretical, and to the advancement of education as science (Gay, L.R.p.298).
3.10.1. Advantages of Experimental Research Approach
• Allows researcher to control the situation.
• Permits researchers to identify cause and effect, and to distinguish placebo effects from treatment effects.
3.10.2. Disadvantages of Experimental Research Approach
• Situation is artificial, and results may not generalize well to the …show more content…
Burns and Grove (1993:777) define quantitative research as a formal, objective, systematic process to describe and test relationships and examine cause and effect interactions among variables. Surveys may be used for descriptive, explanatory and exploratory research. A descriptive survey design was used. A survey is used to collect original data for describing a population too large to observe directly (Mouton 1996:232). A survey obtains information from a sample of people by means of self-report, that is, the people respond to a series of questions posed by the investigator (Polit & Hungler 1993: 148). In this study the information was collected through self-administered questionnaires distributed personally and via email to the subjects by the
