What is Ulrich's Periodical Directory?
100
A first-order abstraction, a shared representation of an observed referent, and a shared representation of an experienced referent
What is a concept?
100
A daily publication of the U.S. government funding opportunities.
What is the Federal Register?
100
Independent variables, extraneous variables, and dependent variables
What are Types of variables in Experimental-type research?
100
In data distributions this measure of central tendency is the value that occurs most frequently. The advantage of this value is that it can be easily obtained as a single indicator of a large distribution and used with categorical (nominal) data.
What is Mode?
200
Professional, trends, societal trends, and professional experience.
What are souces of topis for research?
200
Studies used when theories are well developed
What are deductive studies?
200
being critical, reviewing with a critical eye
What is essential when reviewing literature?
200
Both variables increase or decrease together.
What is a positive relationship between two variables?
200
In data distributions this measure of central tendency is the value that is the point on a scale above or below which 50% of all cases fall. It lies at the midpoint of the distribution. The major advantage using this value is that it is insensitive to extreme values and a good indicator of central tendency. (Good for income indicators as it is not affected by extreme scores).
What is the Median?
300
Phenomenology
What is How individuals define their experiences?
300
Used when there is limited theory development relevant to the topic
What inductive studies?
300
To deterine previous research on a topic, to determine a relationship between current knowledge and identified problem, and to provide a rationale for a design.
What are reasons for conducting a literature review?
300
Elements that must be addressed in designing an experimental-type study.
What is bias, manipulation, reliability, and control?
300
In data distributions this measure of central tendency is the value that calculates the average. Every observation in the data distribution is considered and used. Used for interval and ratio data. However, extreme scores may skew this data.
What is the Mean?
400
Posed a priori
What is Characteristics of a research question in an experimental-type research study?
400
A symbolic representation of a shared experience.
What is Abstraction?
400
Controling variances, restricting extraneous influences on the study, and reveal the cause of the outcomes under study.
What are Purposes of Experimental-type designs?
400
The act of sharing a report
What is dissemination
400
People who read proposals
What are Reviewers comprised of peers, professors, academic departments, consumers, providers, and researchers coming from diverse backgrounds.
500
Descriptive, Predictive, and Explanatory
What are experimental-type research purposes?
500
Considerations in framing a research problem.
What is personal interest, gaps in knowledge, epistemology, and resources?
500
A concept or construct to which a nemerical value is assigned
What is a Variable?
500
A usable report
What is an accessible research report
500
This section of a study gives a clear description of the design, explains the research question, the population and sample, the measures or instruments used, the specific daya analysis strategies, and the procedures used to conduct the research.
What is the Methods section?
