Research in general
Karten in diesem Stapel (5)
- 1Please explain the research process in general.1. Writing a research proposal
2. Explanation of how the research relates to previous works in the field: clear research questions and objectives
3. reviewing the existing literature
4. defining the research question(s)
5. finding gaps in existing literature and show how to fill them
a. take well-understood / mainstream methods from one area and use them in another
b. take a well-understood problem within particular discipline that has been explored in a particular way and investigate the same phenomenon using a different methodological approach
6. data collection & data analysis, depend on if you conduct quantitative or qualitative research - 2How do you conduct a quantitative study?1. research problem taken from reality
2. literature review
3. define research questions
(description of population, phenomena)
a. creating a theoretical model based on theory --> helpful to create hyptheses
b. gather data (data= model + error)
c. formulating a hypothesis
4. choose methods and techniques
5. data collection
a. variables
categorical variables
(nominal, dichotomous, ordinal variables)
continuous variables
b. measures
c. sampling
i. all population
ii. simple random sample
iii. stratified random sample
iv. convenience sample
6. data analysis
a. correlation
b. T-test
c. regression - 3How do you conduct a qualitative study?1. What do "--" mean, and how do they work in context?
2. Decision on which approaches / methodologies are will be used
3. theoretical and methodological framing
4. Define the research problem and why it is important to study?
5. Clarify the research purpose, what is the major objective?
6. Formulate the research question, where are the main issues addressed?
7. State the goal of the study, change process, observations, theory about event, in-depth understanding - 4What is primary data? Which is secondary data?primary data
- new information that is collected directly by the researcher
- can lead to new insights and greater confidence in the outcomes of research
secondary data
- information that already exists in the form of publications or other electronic media, which is collected by the researcher - 5When would you conduct a quantitative study? When a qualitative study?- research designs are about organising research activity --> in a way that is most likely to achieve the research aims
quantitative
- about theory testing, understanding, high-complexity
- useful when...
- wide coverage of situation is necessary
- research is under time and financial pressure
qualitative
- about theory building, verification, falsification of theory
- useful when...
- research tries to understand people's meanings
- contribution to new theory building is necessary
