Problem Statement

A question starting with "which" or "how" about the relationship between variables.

Hypothesis

The answer to the problem statement, predicting the relationship between variables.

Hypothesis

A cause-and-effect statement predicting an expected outcome in research, providing the basis for testing the statistical significance of study findings.

Null Hypothesis (Ho)

States the absence of a relationship, effect, or difference between variables, always in a negative form, aiming to be disproved.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)

Predicts a relationship, effect, or difference between variables, aiming to be proven, affirming the existence of observed phenomena.

Guidelines in Formulating Hypothesis

Recommendations for expressing hypotheses clearly, supporting them with theories or previous studies, and ensuring a logical relationship with the research problem.

Defining Terms in Research

Importance of clarifying key concepts, establishing boundaries, connecting with existing literature, and facilitating effective communication in research definitions.
