PRACTICAL RESEARCH Flashcards
(18 cards)
What is a Descriptive Research Design?
It aims to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon, answering what, where, when, and how questions.
What is an Experimental Research Design?
Involves manipulating variables to determine cause-and-effect relationships through controlled testing.
What is a Sampling Procedure in Quantitative Research?
The method used to select participants from a population to ensure valid, generalizable results.
What are Probability Sampling Techniques?
Every member has a known, non-zero chance of being selected. Examples:
Simple random
Stratified
Systematic
Cluster
What are Non-Probability Sampling Techniques?
Not everyone has an equal chance. Examples:
Convenience
Purposive
Snowball
Quota
What is a Research Instrument?
A tool used to collect data like surveys, questionnaires, or observation checklists.
What is Intervention Research?
A type of research where the researcher introduces an intervention to study its effects.
What is a Data Collection Procedure?
The step-by-step method used to gather data from respondents.
What is Descriptive Data Analysis?
Summarizing data using measures like mean, median, mode, and percentages.
What is Inferential Data Analysis?
Making predictions or generalizations from a sample to a larger population using statistical tools.
What is Hypothesis Testing?
A process of testing a claim or assumption about a population using statistical methods.
What are the Guidelines in Writing the Research Methodology?
Include research design, sampling method, instruments, procedures, and analysis plans clearly and logically.
How do you Collect Data Using Appropriate Instruments?
Use tools suited to your research (e.g., survey for opinions, test for skills) and ensure they are valid and reliable.
🟩 Front: How do you Present and Interpret Data in Tabular Forms?
Use tables to organize data clearly and add brief descriptions to help readers understand patterns or results.
🟩 Front: How do you Present and Interpret Data in Graphical Forms?
Use graphs (bar, pie, line, etc.) to visualize trends or comparisons, and explain them in your analysis.
🟩 Front: How do you Use Statistical Techniques to Analyze Data?
Apply tools like mean, t-test, chi-square, ANOVA, etc., depending on the research problem and hypothesis.
🟩 Front: How do you Draw Conclusions from Research Findings?
Base your conclusions on your data results and relate them to your research questions or hypotheses.
🟩 Front: How do you Formulate Recommendations from your study?
Give practical suggestions based on the findings, aiming to improve practices, solve problems, or guide future research.
