Research Development Based on the Quantitative Approach

Research Development Based on the Quantitative Approach

1. EVALUATING A PROBLEM

   • Significance
     • New or improved knowledge to contribute to further research.
   • Utility
     • Generate new questions derived from the study problem.
   • Practicability
     • Viable research problem to be empirically tested or supported (get answers).
   • Suitability
     • Interesting problem. -The layout of tools. -Valuable contributions.
   • Ethical appropriateness
     • Investigate respecting ethical values.

2. Research Development Based on the Quantitative Approach

   • Steps of the Research Project
     • The importance of formulating a Research Problem
       • The problem is the fundamental basis of the investigation
         • Implies an opportunity for empirical research
         • Defines the research problem with a clear objective and validation
         • Determine the type of study design
       • It is important to formulate a problem because:
       • Provides a focus
         • Provides a brief summary of the research.

3. Four types of concepts:

   • Difference research
     • In this type of problem, the problem statement is used to make comparisons and contrasts.
   • Descriptive research
     • This type of problem is used to describe a situation of a particular subject.
   • Relational research
     • This type of problem is useful for investigating a relationship connecting two or more variables.
   • Casuistry Research
     • Behavioral issues by examining moral dilemmas through the use of general rules and the careful distinction of special cases.

4. Problem statements must have these characteristics:

   • Clearly identify key concepts and terms
   • - Clearly define what will be investigated
   • Clearly state a central question and key variables -
