Research Design and Statistical Terms Defense Preparation

Vocabulary flashcards reviewing core research methodology and statistical concepts for a research defense on AI usage frequency and schoolwork procrastination frequency.

Correlational Research Design

A research design used to look at whether two variables are related to each other without proving causation.

Quantitative Data

Information that can be represented using numbers.

Structured Questionnaire

A questionnaire with prepared questions and choices that the respondents will answer.

T-Test

A statistical test used to compare data and determine if a difference or relationship is significant.

Significant

In research, describing a result that is strong enough to be considered meaningful based on a statistical test.

Statistical

Using numbers and calculations to analyze data.

Variable

Something that is measured or studied in research.

AI Usage Frequency

Refers to how often students use AI for their schoolwork.

Procrastination Frequency

Refers to how often students delay or put off their schoolwork.

Correlation

The relationship between two variables.

Positive Relationship

A relationship where when one variable increases, the other also tends to increase.

Inverse or Negative Relationship

A relationship where when one variable increases, the other tends to decrease.

No Correlation

Means there is no clear relationship between the two variables in the data.

Data Analysis

The process of examining and interpreting the collected data.

Causation

Means that one thing directly causes another thing to happen.

Main Goal of Research Design

To determine whether there is a significant relationship between AI usage frequency and schoolwork procrastination frequency.
