Types of Research design (5)
Specific, measurable, achievable
How do you formulate research questions? (3)
determining data to collect and focusing on research
Effective questions can help how? (2)
Literature review
necessary to understand existing research related to the topic.
Literature review
It helps identify gaps in knowledge, refine research questions, and position the new study within the academic context.
Defining Hypothesis
Hypothesis
state the expected relationship between variables and help guide the research methodology.
Qualitative research
focuses on understanding concepts, thoughts, or experiences through interviews and observations.
Quantitative research
involves numerical data that can be quantified and subjected to statistical analysis. Choosing the appropriate method is crucial based on the research question
Sampling techniques
Involve selecting a subset of a population to infer conclusions about the whole.
Random sampling
Stratified sampling
Convenience sampling
Common techniques of sampling that impacts the validity and reliability of the research findings. (3)
Qualitative data
involves thematic analysis, coding, and narrative analysis to interpret patterns and meanings in textual or visual data.
Qualitative data
This process helps identify themes, make sense of complex data, and draw conclusions that answer the research questions.
Quantitative data
employs statistical methods to test hypotheses and evaluate relationships among variables.
Descriptive statistics
Inferential statistics
Multivariate analysis
techniques used to draw conclusions from numerical data and validate the research findings. (3)
Interpreting results
involves looking at data findings in the context of the hypotheses, research questions, and existing literature.
Interpreting results
Important to understand the implications of the results, any limitations, and how they contribute to the body of knowledge in the field
Informed consent
ensures participants understand the research, including its purpose, duration, risks, and benefits.
Informed consent
obtain consent voluntarily and provide participants the right to withdraw at any time, ensuring ethical standards are upheld throughout the research process.
Confidentiality
protects participants' identities and personal information.
Confidentiality
requires data to be anonymized or pseudonymized to prevent unauthorized access and maintain trust between researchers and participants.
Responsibility
conduct ethical research, protect participants from harm, report findings truthfully, and respect intellectual property.
Research design
encompasses various steps, including identifying problems, selecting methodologies, and ensuring ethical standards.
Research design
the reliability and validity of study outcomes, contributing valuable insights and knowledge
