leaving a tip, or in jobs such as an engineer.). Active experimentation is not a vital factor in solving and using math theories and hypothesis. Mathematicians use “theories, computation techniques, algorithms, and computer technology to solve scientific, and engineer equations.”("Career Cornerstone Center: Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine." Career Cornerstone Center: Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine. Web. 28 Feb. 2015.). An example of…

In the section of the Phaedo we read, Socrates argues that one has knowledge of the form absolute equality prior to birth, and that learning is a “recovering of knowledge which is natural to us” (40). Socrates’ argument for theory of recollection and that one cannot acquire knowledge of absolute equality through empirical means does succeed despite some minor issues with it. Socrates first proves that there is no example of absolute equality in one’s own experience. To do this Socrates and his…

Scientific research was originally developed to determine a solution to a particular problem using various methods of research design. Two common, broad approaches of research design are qualitative and quantitative research. This essay will establish the key differences between qualitative research; the approach to empirical research that relies primarily on the collection of non-numerical data (Christensen, Johnson, Turner, 2014. 362), and quantitative research; the collection of various types…

Developmental Psychology, doi:10.1037/dev0000015 This was a longitudinal study done on five Israel schools to test the previous theories that certain values can be correlated with aggression. Benish wanted to examine the relationship between values and aggression on a large sample of Israeli adolescents for a period of a year. He used the four higher values…

Another commonly acknowledged theoretical issue in social research is generalisation. Many scholars (e.g. Kerlinger and Lee, 2000; Shadish, Cook and Campbell, 2002; Polit and Beck, 2010) believed that the notion of generalisability is a primary criterion for appraising the quality of a quantitative research, instead of a qualitative research. According to Polit and Beck (2010), the notion of generalisation mainly discussed by quantitative researchers, refers to ‘an act of reasoning’ that…

2.2 Type of Data Collected and Sample Size At a basic level the differences between qualitative and quantitative methods (Eisner, 1998; Ryan & Golden, 2006) are related to the fact that a survey is mostly used to collect numerical data and / or information, statistical methods and graphs are used to analyse such data and / or information in quantitative research (Saunders et al., 2009; Van Maanen, 1983) compared to interviews in qualitative research, collecting words, explanations, opinions,…

(2008), nursing research is a process purposely to improved knowledge regarding important issues to nursing profession which involves nursing education, practice, administration and informatics. Nursing research also encompasses a wide scope of scientific inquiry, including clinical research, health systems and outcomes research, and nursing education research (Miller, Ward and Young, 2010). Nieswiadomy (2012) also defined nursing research as the systematic, objective process of analyizing…

There is no crisis in the field of Psychology or Social Sciences research. In the past few years, there have been an increased number of retractions and fabrication incidents in the psychology and social sciences research, which caused speculations that these fields are currently in a crisis. Recently, an initiative called “Reproducibility Project” was conducted at the University of Virginia that reran 100 psychology experiments from three reputed psychology journals and stated that over 60% of…

Developing a single patient engagement platform across all care settings, with predictive healthcare management tools, will help empower patients to better manage their health and coordinate with all of their providers for improved healthcare outcomes. Although the healthcare organization may have an existing patient portal, this may not be offering the correct tools and benefits to the patient. Research previously discussed in this paper determined there would be positive outcomes of…

In the documentary Super Size Me, narrated and directed by Morgan Spurlock, Mr. Spurlock sets out to see just what effect eating fast food can have on a person’s health. Numerous questions are posed during the film, so it is difficult to determine the exact thesis of the argument. After filtering through all of the information, I determined the main point of the argument to be that McDonald’s knowingly provides unhealthy food to Americans and wants us to eat as much of its food as we can,…
