19
Proven analytical procedures in gathering data, whether historical, descriptive, experimental, and case study
Analytical
20
Exhibits careful and precise judgment
Critical
20
Starts with a problem and ends with a problem
Cyclical
20
Research design and procedures are repeated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results
Replicability
20
Conducted in a methodical manner without bias using systematic method and procedures
Methodical
21
Collects information from a sample coming from various groups that has been drawn from a predetermined population
Cross-sectional survey
22
Sometimes called survey research, it aims to describe systematically the facts and characteristics of a given population or area of interest, factually and accurately
Descriptive research
23
Determines the extent to which two variables (or more) co-vary
Explanatory research design
24
Descriptive research is sometimes called a…?
Survey research
25
Attempts to influence a particular variable
Experimental research
25
Aims to describe and measure the degree of association between two or more variables or sets of scores
Correlational research
26
Test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships
Experimental research
27
Intentionally manipulated, controlled, vary at known rate, cause
Independent
27
Something that varies, it represent persons or objects that can be manipulated, controlled or merely measured for the sake of research
Variables
27
What are the two variables
Independent and dependent variables
28
Inentionally left alone, measured, effect
Dependent
28
Characterized by data that consists of names, labels, or categories only
Nominal Scale
28
Involved data that may be arranged in some order but differences between data values either cannot be determined or meaningless
Ordinal Scale
29
Data for which we can determine meaningful amounts of differences between data however, there is no inherent zero starting point
Interval Scale
30
The interval scale to include the inherent starting point. For these values, differences and ratios are both meaningful
Ratio scale
