About research methods flashcards
GoConqr OriginalChoosing research methods flashcards
Start with Research Methods if you want to review the research process, from defining a topic to pilot studies and access. For a focus on evidence, Research Methods: Types of Data and Secondary data offer places to begin.
To concentrate on individual methods, browse the decks on questionnaires and interviews. The participant observation deck asks you to distinguish between types of observation. Laboratory Experiments covers points including reliability, samples and informed consent.
Revise with the decks
Try answering each prompt before checking the card, then return to the terms or comparisons you find harder. The deck on advantages and disadvantages of sociology research methods can help you practise comparing methods, while Researching Education offers a particular context.
When you want a different way to revisit a topic, switch to a mind map or quiz on the unit page. Pick a deck to begin your next study session.
