Formulating Research Hypotheses
Formulating MORE Research Hypotheses (Sweet!)
Replication Research
Designing Research for Utilization
Bias in the Formulation of Research Questions
100
These examples are the differences between primary and secondary sources
What are Primary sources are written by people who conducted the research, while secondary sources are summarize information from primary sources?
100
3 possible sources where you can attain information during a literature review.
What are Journal articles, Books, Internet, Directly from authors, Unpublished research papers?
100
This form of replication seeks to reproduce the conditions of the original research as precisely as possible
What is exact replication research?
100
These 2 criteria are used to determine if the results of the research are usable.
What are the truth test and utility test?
100
These are 2 ways biases can enter into the formulation of research questions.
What are biased assumptions and biased theory?
200
These are 3 characterisitcs of a good research question?
What are well grounded, can be researched, and has importance?
200
A researcher should consider these resources when determining the feasibility of a study. (name 2)
What are time, participants, equipment, setting?
200
This form of replication tests the same hypothesis as the original research but uses a different setting, set of operation definitions or participant population.
What is conceptual replication?
200
These 3 components of research should be addressed as it affects the action orientation of the research as perceived by policy makers.
What is are the independent and dependent variable, the research population and research setting.
200
Assuming that research on one group is more important than research on other groups.
biased assumptions
300
States an expectation about the relationship between two variables which is derived from and answered by the research question
What is a research hypothesis?
300
Prior research can be used to test for these things when trying to come up with ideas for a research.(name 2)
What are conflicting findings, overlooked variables, setting and expanding boundaries, testing alternative explanation?
300
This type of replication is more frequently performed because of their ability to produce new information through generalization of the replicated principle and testing of new hypothesis
What is Conceptual replication?
300
The independent and dependent variables are divided into these 2 categories when considering a design for action oriented research.
What are policy variables and estimator variables?
300
This can focus research attention in the wrong direction, delaying the answers to research questions and the resolution of practical problems.
What is a biased theory?
400
These are types of information that you should look for in a literature review.(name 3)
What are looking for relevant theories, looking for what has been on in previous research on your question, looking at out how prior research was carried out, looking at how prior research analyzed the data?
400
These are purposes that a literature review serves.(name 2)
What are provide a scientific context for the research, avoiding duplication of effort, identify potential problems?
400
Important hypotheses should be replicated when either one of these two conditions apply.
What is a suspected problem with the original research? or What is to test its generalizability?
400
This test determines the practitioner’s perception of the validity of the research and has two aspects, research quality and conformity to user expectations.
What is the truth test?
400
As scientists these are unavoidable when formulating research questions and conducting research
What are biases?
500
These 3 types of knowledge are required before conducting research in order to establish a formal background.
What are theory, research results, methods available?
500
When evaluating a research article you should generally look for these things (name 3).
What are internal validity – are there other factors that may account for the differences in their findings? Construct validity – operational definitions? Statistical validity – did they analyze their data properly? External validity – can their data be generalized? Data to Conclusion – Does the theory predict the experimental outcome? Is there a clear hypothesis? What was the research good for?
500
The circumstances under which a theory does or does not work relating to generalizability.
What are the boundary conditions?
500
This test determines the practitioner’s perception of the usefulness of the research results for guiding action, either through direct intervention or by providing alternative approaches to problems.
What is the utility test?
500
To avoid biases, one may want to incorporate one of these stratagies?
What is to have others review your research proposal and give feedback? or look for indicators of possible biases in literature? or examine your research design paying particular attention to the limitations imposed by the use of single group when interpreting results.
