III Flashcards
(50 cards)
A blueprint or skeletal framework of a research study that guides its structure.
Conceptual Framework
A research design that assesses or evaluates certain conditions, such as preferences.
Descriptive Evaluative Study
An experimental design where a single group is tested before and after an intervention
Single Group Pre-test Post-test Design
A factor in research that refers to participants dropping out before the study is completed.
Mortality
A research design that controls for factors like Hawthorne effect, maturation, and attrition.
Solomon Four Group Design
When a control group realizes it is being compared, it may demotivate participants.
Control Group Awareness
Used to determine the effectiveness of programs like school policies.
Assessment/Evaluation Studies
Measures the relationship between two variables, such as age and academic performance.
Correlational Research Study
Experimental designs that can be affected by maturity, test-wiseness, and attrition.
Pre-test Post-test & Single Group Pre-test Post-test Design
Establishes cause-and-effect relationships among variables.
Experimental Research Design
A population of 20,000 with 0.02 error tolerance results in a
sample size of 2500.
Sample Size Formuke
Divides a population into subgroups, then takes a proportional sample from each.
Stratified Random Sampling
Uses multiple levels of sampling to handle large populations.
Multi Stage Sampling
Takes entire groups (clusters) as samples rather than individual members
Cluster Sampling
Best for heterogeneous populations, ensuring representation of
different subgroups.
Stratified Sampling
Selects participants based on availability, such as students found in common school areas.
Convenience Sampling
Participants opt in voluntarily, often through online surveys or polls.
Voluntary Sampling
Respondents are chosen based on the purpose of the study, rather than chance.
Non-Probability Sampling
Selects participants based on specific criteria or purpose.
Purposive/Judgmental Sampling
Used for hard-to-reach populations by relying on referrals.
Snowball Sampling
Best for gathering in- depth qualitative data
Interview
Efficient for collecting data from a large numbers of respondents
Survey Questionnaire
Gathered directly from people knowledgeable about the topic
Primary data sources
Includes instruments, participants, research design, and
procedures, but NOT problems.
