Lesson 3 Flashcards
Provides the overview of the study
Establishes the context of the study
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
cited need and relevance of the topic from international community
International
cited need and relevance of the topic from our country
National
cited some need and relevance of the topic from the community where will you have
your research
Local
asking a set of specific questions or identifying sub-problems about your research problem.
Research Questions
specify the scope and the
method in collecting and analyzing data, give you the right direction in your research. In addition, they
are questions to give further definition or explanation of the research problem by stressing the fact that
they elicit answers to clarify or solve the research problem, which is the main problem of the research.
Research Questions
ask questions on the kind, qualifications, and categories of the
subjects or participants
Descriptive research questions
are questions about the nature and manner of connection between or among
variables.
Relation questions
– reasons behind the effects of the independent variable on the dependent
variable is the focus of these types of research questions.
Causal questions
Your questions begin from “hunches or predictions” or expectations about the outcome
of your research. Ask questions centering on a theory or concept, discover the
accuracy of the theory, ponder on variables to represent the extent of the application
of the theory, and make up your mind on which variable to study through observation,
interview, or experimentation
Deductive Approach
starts from smaller and simpler ideas to bigger
or more complex ones. Inductively formulated research questions focus on description
of things to prove an idea or a system. Central to this approach are specific details to
prove the validity of a certain theory or concept.
Inductive Approach
formally points out the issue that
your study wants to address. A good ___ does not only identify the problem in the study but also
answers the question “why is the problem worthy of being investigated?” It includes the following
components.
Statement of the Problem
a statement that defines the testable relationship you expect to see from
examining the variables in your research.
A hypothesis
employed when conducting correlational
ex post facto, quasi-experimental, and experimental studies.
Hypothesis formulation
states that there is no relationship between variables.
Null hypothesis (H0 )
