Parts of Study
Emerges from identifying the research variables. These variables represent the concepts measured, manipulated, or controlled in the study.
Hypothesis
What is Framework?
What is Reliability?
Reliability is a measure of the consistency of the results of a research method. It indicates how trustworthy and replicable the data is. If the same method produces the same results when applied to different samples or repeated under the same conditions, the method is reliable.
Refers to both a philosophy and a group of research methods congruent with the philosophy that guides the study of experiences or phenomena.
Phenomenological
Qualitative Rigor
Rigor in qualitative research is about establishing trustworthiness and credibility of the findings. This can be achieved through strategies such as: Credibility: Reviewing individual transcripts for similarities within and across all participants. Transferability: Providing a dense description of the population studied. Consistency (Dependability): Establishing consistency in the methods used over time. Neutrality (Confirmability): Ensuring the findings are shaped by the respondents and not researcher bias.
Statements are taken for granted or are considered true.
Assumptions
An integrated set of defined concepts and relational statements that present a view of a phenomenon and can be used to describe, explain, predict, or control phenomena.
Theory
A determination of how well the instrument measures the abstract concept being examined.
Validity
An inductive technique that emerged from the discipline of sociology. Emphasizes the emergence of theoretical categories and concepts from the data, rather than preconceived theoretical ideas.
Grounded Theory Research
Quantitative Rigor
Rigor in quantitative research often refers to the objectivity and accuracy of the data collected, which is often believed to yield more objective and accurate information because they were collected using standardized methods, can be replicated, and can be analyzed using sophisticated statistical techniques.
Restrictions in a study that may decrease the credibility and generalizability of the findings
Limitations
A systematic and scientific plan to collect, analyze, and interpret data to answer a research problem or test a hypothesis. It describes the approach, techniques, and processes that a researcher uses to conduct their research.
Methodology
What does an Abstract Include?
Includes the study problem, purpose, design, sample size, significant results, and conclusion.
Was developed by anthropologists as a method to study how cultures develop and are maintained over time. Through immersion in the culture, anthropologists study a group of people who share a culture and their origins, past ways of 100 living, and ways of surviving through time. Involves immersing yourself in a particular community or organization to observe their behavior and interactions up close.
Ethnographic Research
Qualitative research method based on symbolic interaction theory; conducted to explore and analyze the process that persons use in handling a specific situation or problem. Ideally, the study results in a theoretical description or diagram of the process.
Grounded Theory Research
Summary of the study in 100-250 words
Abstract
What is Research Purpose?
Research purpose comes from the problem and identifies the specific goal or aim of the study.
What does the Results Section Include?
Includes the outcomes from the statistical analyses and their significance.
Studies are developed to provide information and insight into clinical or practice problems.
Exploratory-descriptive Qualitative
Describe Qualitative Research
Broad, subjective, discussions, conversations, holistic, naturalistic, interpretive, humanistic. Made up of 5 types-Phenomenological, grounded theory, ethnographic, exploratory descriptive, & historical research. The goal of qualitative research is not hypothesis testing.
A document that outlines the purpose, scope, methods, and expected outcomes of a research project. It is usually written to seek approval or funding from a supervisor, institution, or organization.
Research Proposol
Collecting pertinent literature to give in-depth knowledge about the problem and understanding what knowledge exists to make changes in practice
Literature Review
The specific procedure used to measure or manipulate the variable.
Operational definition of a variable
Qualitative research technique in which a researcher identifies personal preconceptions and beliefs and consciously sets them aside for the duration of the study.
Bracketing
Describe Quantitative Research
Formal, objective, rigorous, systematic process for generating information. Made up of 4 categories- Descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental, & experimental. Numbers, facts, statistics= concrete evidence.
