RESEARCH DESIGNS
A quantitative research paper is entitled as “Nursing Model of Care Utilized by Selected Hospitals and its Association with the Performance of Nurses in their Area of Assignment”. What is the research design of this study?
What is the name given to unwanted variables?
Extraneous Variables
this part should contain a discussion of any or all of the following:
-presentation of the problem
- rationale for conducting the study
-historical background of the study
- a hypothesis which expresses prediction between one independent variable and one dependent variable?
Every unit has the same chance of inclusion
Simple Random Sampling
means the researcher has control over the experiment, Who, where, when and how is the experiment going to be conducted.
True Experimental
In an experiment, which variable does the researcher set up and manipulate?
Independent Variable
An explanation of how reviewed related literature and studies related to the present study should be presented, It should mention the similarities and differences which were cited to the present investigation
Synthesis of Related Literature and Studies
this hypothesis explicates that no relationship exists between the dependent and the independent variable.
Every nth unit is selected from the list
Systematic Random Sampling
Which of the following is TRUE about features of quasi-experimental research design?
Manipulation, Control Group, Randomization
is the variable a researcher is interested in. The changes to the dependent variable are what the researcher is trying to measure with all their fancy techniques
Dependent variable
Describes the characteristics of the locale that are relevant to the research inquiry
Research Locale
two types of research hypothesis
Directional and Non-Directional
Also called accidental or opportunity sampling; close to hand, readily available or convenient
Convenience Sampling
A type of non-experimental research that examines the difference between variables. This type of research method is used depending on the research question of the study.
Comparative Research
MEAL PREFERENCE: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Nominal
This section describes in full steps taken to collect data. The logical flow, and subsections of the procedure depend on the particular design that the study employed; process on how are you going to collect your data
Data Gathering Procedures
•this is a type of research (alternative) hypothesis which state that a relationship or differences exists between the variables but the direction of that relationship or difference is not explicated.
Non-Directional Hypothesis
You start from identifying a few respondents that match the criteria for inclusion in your study, and then ask them to recommend others they know who also meet your selection criteria.
Snowball Sampling
A type of survey research that collects data through observation, survey or interview of the same subjects over a period of time up and can last up to several years.
Longitudinal Research
Lauren wants to know which location in her apartment is best for growing African violets. She has three African violets. She puts one on the balcony, one by the kitchen window, and one on the mantel in the living room. Each plant has the same size pot and the same soil, and Lauren gives each plant the same amount of water. The 2 variables: 1. location of plants 2. how the plants grow .Which one is the independent variable (IV)?
1. Location of plants
Theoretical or Conceptual Framework
Give at least Three Guidelines in Formulating Hypothesis
1. Hypotheses are written in declarative form.
2. The hypotheses and research problem must be aligned.
3. The hypotheses must state the predicted relationship between or among the variables under study
4. Hypotheses must be based on existing knowledge like previous study results. It may also be based on the experience and observation of the researcher.
5. Be direct to the point. Avoid wordiness and run-on statements.
A technique in which every unit in the population has a chance (non-zero probability) of being selected in the sample, and this chance can be accurately determined
Probability Sampling
