confirm or test theory

QUANTITATIVE

understand or explore idea

QUALITATIVE

mixed methods

COMBINED

- measures variables and describes relationships between them

DESCRIPTIVE AND CORRELATIOANAL

- test cause and effect relationships

EXPERIMENTAL AND QUASI EXPERIMENTAL

focuses on systematically measuring variables

DESCIPTIVE

test variables related to each other

CORRELATIONAL

strongest way to test cause and effect rs
-difficult and expensive to implement

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

qualitative design is all about

- rich understanding
- specific contexts
- creativity and flexibility

case studies
ethnography

QUALITATIVE DESIGN

aims to understand a event by describing participants lived experiences

PHENOMENOLOGICAL

examines how stories are told

NARRATIVE

a more systematic approach using quali

GROUNDED THEORY

Clearly defined purpose/objective
Identify the nature of the study

RESEARCH DESIGN

Explain the setting

RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT

Explain the sampling method

RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS

Explain how the data collected will be analyzed

DATA ANALYSIS

one important part of the research design
refer to the data collection and analysis
that the researcher will use

METHODOLOGY

each member of the population has an exactly equal chance of being selected.

SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING

but instead of randomly generating numbers, individuals are chosen at regular intervals
10th

SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING

involves dividing the population into subpopulations that may differ in important ways
-you divide the population into subgroups (called strata) based on the relevant characteristic

STRATIFIED SAMPLING

also involves dividing the population into subgroups, but each subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample

CLUSTER SAMPLING

4 PROBABILITY SAMPLING

SIMPLE RANDOM
SYSTEMATIC
STRATIFIED
CLUSTER

Allows research to have better control over the composition of the sample.

QOUTA SAMPLING

Researchers have better control over who gets selected in the sample compared to convenience sampling.

PURPOSIVE SAMPLING

Best sampling technique when the target population is not known.

SNOWBALL SAMPLING

used if the researcher wants to find cases that are different from the dominant pattern

EXTREME CASE SAMPLING

NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING

QOUTA
PURPOSIVE
SNOWBALL
EXTREME

helps you establish causality

INTERNAL VALIDITY

helps you generalize your results

EXTERNAL VALIDITY

a number that describes how much the relationship between variables

TEST STATISTIC

estimates how likely it is that you would see the difference

P VALUE

variance within each group being compared is similar among all groups

HOMOGENEITY OF VARIANCE

Represent amounts of things

QUANTITATIVE VARIABLES

Represent groupings of things

CATEGORICAL VARIABLES

can usually be divided into units smaller than one

CONTINOUS

can't be divided into units smaller than one

DESCRETE

represent data with an order
represent group names
represent data with a yes/no

ORDINAL
NOMINAL
BINARY

-cause-and-effect relationships
-differences among group means
-check whether variables are related without hypothesizing a cause-and-effect relationship

- REGRESSION TEST
-COMPARISON TESTS
- CORRELATION TEST

is a broad term for various research methods used to describe, interpret and understand texts.

TEXTUAL ANALYSIS

ideas and patterns of meaning that come up repeatedly.
-trying to find out something about people's views, opinions, knowledge, experiences or values

THEMATIC

6 STEPS

1. FAMILIARIZATION
2. CODING
3. GENERATING THEMES

6 STEPS 2ND

4. REVIEWING THEMES
5. DEFINING AND NAMING NAMES
6. WRITING UP

- GET TO KNOW OUR DATA
- CODE THE DATA
- IDENTIFY PATTERNS

- FAMILIARIZATION
- CODING
- GENERATING THEMES

-make sure that our themes are useful and accurate representations of the data.
-involves formulating exactly what we mean by each theme
-we'll write up our analysis of the data

-REVIEWING THEMES
- DEFINING AND NAMING THEMES
- WRITING UP

is a research method for studying written or spoken language
understand how language is used in real life situations
