Research In Motion

skills, training, and experience you have that will be useful in an engineering research internship position. Although my research career has just begun, I have accumulated a strong background in a several research fields and more importantly have developed a strong research foundation that will help to ensure my future endeavors as an intern as well as a researcher. In my past two semesters I have gained valuable research experience by participating in the Honors Program at the College of San…

could come up with articulate systems shortly that will increase the acceptance of this technology across the border. The US being an area with much industrialization and industrial progress guarantees timely correction of impacts illustrated in this research about the healthcare sector (Hugos, Hulitzky &Ebrary,…

Research, Theory, and Practice: Integration and Approach Leedy and Ormrod (2014) defined Research “as a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information—data—in order to increase our understanding of a phenomenon about which we are interested or concerned.” Research is sometime as a result of interest or a conscious and deliberate pursue of knowledge to solve a problem, drive innovation, improve efficiency and effectiveness of existing process or operations. Research…

quantitative research are: descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental. The key to understanding each is the level or degree of control involved in the study and its component. Groves, Gray & Burns (2015) define control as the imposing of rules to decrease the possibility of error, increasing the probability a study’s findings, which reveal an accurate reflection of reality. Groves, Gray and Burns (2015) went on to discuss the rules known as design, to achieve control in…

Ethics Review With any research comes risk. Lindell & Perry (2004, p. 1) states “risk can be defined broadly as a condition in which there is a possibility that persons or property could experience adverse consequences”. Many action research (AR) studies encounter minimal exposure to any harmful information or risks to the participants. According to The Belmont Report “even avoiding harm requires learning what is harmful; and in the process of obtaining this information, a person may be exposed…

everything. In this assignment, though we decided to do a research question which I was not familiar with or not in my expertise area, I was able to engage in the activities and learn out of it. I was able to participate in some common grounds when we discuss about our team assignment. In such was, I learn the process and principles of doing a meta-analysis. However, I couldn’t deny one thing that it was very challenging to work on a research area which is not in one’s area of expertise. It was…

The concept of validity in research has been broadly used in academia and by researchers in different fields of study. The dictionary of social research methods compiled by Jupp (2006) defines validity as “the extent to which conclusions drawn from research provide an accurate description of what happened or a correct explanation of what happens and, why.” Similarly, Creswell (2014) described validity as a procedural benchmark for assessing the accuracy of an investigation and the conclusions…

goes everywhere.” – Mieke Gerritzen. This quote beautifully captures just how difficult it can be to create a solid research study. There are an incredible amount of things to consider when crafting a strong design and when it is done well there are numerous benefits. However, when it is does not go according to plan the intended outcomes crumble like a house of cards. The research study Predicting Adjustment During the Transition to College, had many strengths and also some very clear areas for…

Canada went through a transformative process that changed the way research is conducted on a national level. In December of that year, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and the Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) (hereafter referred to as the “Agencies”) unveiled the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research. This policy document was coupled with two other…

A major shift in society occurred between 1870-1916 during America’s time of industrialization. Industrial jobs and urban living shined like a beacon of opportunity, flooding cities with a population boom. Amidst one of the biggest changes in U.S. history, the educational system in America had to find a way to educate students in a way that reflected the changing ideas, population, values, and jobs. The massive changes that were occurring sparked the Progressive Movement that lasted half of the…
