GROUP 3

Question 1

It is defined as the logical and coherent and overall strategy that the researcher uses to integrate all the researcher uses to integrate all the components of the research study (Barrot, 2017, p 102). In order to fin meaning in the overall process of doing your research study, a step-by-step process will be helpful to you.

Answer 1

Research Design

Question 2

What are the 5 types of Quantitative Research Design

Answer 2

Descriptive Research, Correlational Research, Ex Post Facto, Quasi-Experimenal, and Experimental Research.

Question 3

Aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or phenomenon. It can answer what, where, when and how questions, but not why questions. A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of research methods to investigate one or more variables.

Answer 3

Descriptive Research

Question 4

It is a type of nonexperimental research in which the researcher measures two variables and assesses the statistical relationship (i.e., the correlation) between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables.

Answer 4

Correlational research

Question 5

If the objective of the study is top propriate to use. In this design, the researcher has no control of the research study. This cannot conclude that the changes measured during the actual conduct of the study.

Answer 5

Ex Post Facto

Question 6

is a type of experiment where the researcher does not randomly assigns subjects. Rather, unlike a true experiment, subjects are assigned to groups based on non-random criteria. The researchers may manipulate an independent variable and observe the effect on a dependent variable

Answer 6

Quasi-Experimental

Question 7

is a study conducted with a scientific approach using two sets of variables. The first set acts as a constant, which you use to measure the differences of the second set. Quantitative research methods, for example, are experimental.

Answer 7

Experimental Research

Question 8

is the entire group that you want to draw conclusions about.

Answer 8

Population

Question 9

is the specific group that you will collect data from.

Answer 9

Sample Size

Question 10

What are the 7 sampling methods?

Answer 10

Simple Random Sampling

Systematic Sampling

Stratified Sampling

Cluster Sampling

Convenience Sampling

Quota Sampling

Snowball Sampling

Question 11

is a randomly selected subset of a population. In this sampling method, each member of the population has an exactly equal chance of being selected.

Answer 11

Simple Random Sampling

Question 12

is a probability sampling method in which researchers select members of the population at a regular interval (or k) determined in advance.

Answer 12

Systematic Sampling

Question 13

In a this sample, researchers divide a population into homogeneous subpopulations called strata (the plural of stratum) based on specific characteristics (e.g., race, gender identity, location). Every member of the population studied should be in exactly one stratum.

Answer 13

Stratified Sampling

Question 14

In this sampling, researchers divide a population into smaller groups known as clusters. They then randomly select among these clusters to form a sample.

Answer 14

Cluster Sampling

Question 15

This sample simply includes the individuals who happen to be most accessible to the researcher.

Answer 15

Convenience Sampling

Question 16

Similar to a convenience sample, this sample is mainly based on ease of access. Instead of the researcher choosing participants and directly contacting them, people volunteer themselves (e.g. by responding to a public online survey). This response samples are always at least somewhat biased, as some people will inherently be more likely to volunteer than others.

Answer 16

Voluntary Sampling

Question 17

This type of sampling involves the researcher using their judgment to select a sample that is most useful to the purpose of the research. It is often used in qualitative research, where the researcher wants to gain detailed knowledge about a specific phenomenon rather than make statistical inferences. An effective sample must have a clear criteria and rationale for inclusion.

Answer 17

Purposive sampling

Question 18

is a non-probability sampling method that relies on the non-random selection of a predetermined number or proportion of units. This is called a quota.

Answer 18

Quota sampling

Question 19

A research instrument is a tool used to collect, measure, and analyze data related to your subject. It could be a survey, questionnaire, or any other tool that helps you gather the information you need.

Answer 19

Research Instrument

Question 20

This part explains how you gathered your data. Did you use surveys, interviews, experiments, or observations? It also describes why you chose these methods and how they helped you answer your research questions.

Answer 20

Data Collection Procedure

Question 21

This section explains how the data you collected will be analyzed and reported. It specifies the methods you will use to interpret the data and explains how each test will be applied to make sense of your findings.

Answer 21

Statistical Treatment of Data

Question 22

This section describes your target population and explains how you chose your participants, including how many there are and the technique you used to select them. The population is the entire group you want to study, while the sample is the specific group from whom you collected data.

Answer 22

Population Sample

Question 23

What are the 4 steps in collecting data?

Answer 23

1. Define the aim of your research
2. Choose your data collection methods
3. Plan your design
4. Collect the data

Question 24

What are the 4 types of instruments?

Answer 24

Interview
Surveys
Focus Group
Observations

Question 25

You can carry out interviews in many different ways. For example, your interview can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. The difference between them is how formal the set of questions is that is asked of the interviewee. In a group interview, you may choose to ask the interviewees to give you their opinions or perceptions on certain topics.

Answer 25

Interviews

Question 26

In survey research, you are posing questions in which you ask for a response from the person taking the survey. You may wish to have either free -answer questions such as essay style questions, or you may wish to use closed questions such as multiple choice. You may even wish to make the survey a mixture of both.

Answer 26

Survey

Question 27

Similar to the group interview above, you may wish to ask a focus group to discuss a particular topic or opinion while you make a note of the answers given.

Answer 27

Focus Group

Question 28

This is a good research instrument to use if you are looking into human behaviors. Different ways of researching this include studying the spontaneous behavior of participants in their everyday life, or something more structured. A structured observation is research conducted at a set time and place where researchers observe behavior as planned and agreed upon with participants.

Answer 28

Observations

Question 29

Refers to the consistency of a measure (whether the results can be reproduced under the same conditions).

Answer 29

Reliability

Question 30

Refers to the accuracy of a measure (whether the results really do represent what they are supposed to measure).

Answer 30

Validity

Question 34

What are the 4 types of Research Methodology?

Answer 34

*Quantitative research *Qualitative Research Methodology *Mixed-method research *Experimental research *Case study research

Question 35

Measurement Objectives are the reasons for the research and the expected outcomes. The objectives are the “why” of the research. They should be clear and concise. Explain each measurement objective in detail. Be precise, so as not to leave any room for erroneous interpretation of the results.

Answer 35

Measurement Objectives

Question 36

Data Collection methodology covers the logistics of the research. Determine how data should be collected. If there will be multiple data collection sources, the methodology should describe each source and how they fit together to make the big picture. Explain the pros and cons of each data collection source, especially if you are using any sources that are new to team members or if you expect to encounter problems with "buy in."

Answer 36

Data collection Processes

Question 37

Base each question on at least one of the research objectives. Make a distinct connection between every survey question and the research objective. Don't ask questions that don't link directly to a research objective.

Answer 37

Recommended Survey
