identify facts (44 cards)
Research Design
The overall process of planning or carrying out the research plan. Serves as a blue print of the research paper.
In what format does the conceptual framework follow in research?
I.P.O ( Input, Process, Output)
What does the conceptual framework take shape in?
Paradigm
What are the interpretations when conceptual frameworks involve arrows and lines?
Arrows dictate the cause-and-effect relationship of the variables while Lines dictate the correlation of the variables.
What part of the research paper dictates the full operational meaning of the words used in the certain field of study ?
Definition of Terms
The term pertaining to the definition derived from the dictionary?
Conceptual Definition
The term pertaining to the definition that is derived from observable and pre-existing characteristics?
Operational Definition
This term is used to describe the prediction of the output of the study.
Hypothesis / Hypotheses (?)
The category of the hypothesis that shows no significance in the difference of a certain result.
Null Hypothesis
Pertains to the desired result of the researcher. The opposite of null hypothesis.
Alternative Hypothesis
This type of hypothesis is based on theories to explain results.
Theory-driven hypothesis
This type of hypothesis is based on findings from recent published-studies..
Data-driven hypothesis
Directional (one tailed) hypothesis
Pertains to the relationship and direction of the variables.
Non-directional (two-tailed) hypothesis
Pertains to the relationship alone but not the direction of the variables
Descriptive hypothesis
Specifies relationship between two variables to an influence of an external factor.
Causal hypothesis
Specifies relationship between two variables because of a cause and effect relationship.
What is research design?
Dictates all the plans intended to pursue in the process of the entire research paper.
This type of research design aims to explain the behavior and (or) phenomena of a certain variable.
Descriptive Research design
Survey
A research design which aims to determine the “general picture”
Descriptive Normative
A research design that aims to determine the trends/norms amongst the subset of groups.
Correlational
Determines the relationship of two or more variables
Evaluative
Known as the “goodness of criterion”
Longitudinal Study
Pertains to gathering data among a group that shares almost the same characteristic that follows a certain theme.
Cross-sectional study
Pertains to gathering data from a subset of groups that has the same characteristics but then collects data after the time interval dictated that ensures changes of result.
