“Torch of Knowledge"
RDF • New approach to researcher development • Develop world-class researchers • Build research base
RDF • Professional development framework • Planning, promoting and supportingpersonal, professional and career development • Knowledge, behavioursand attributes
RDF ■ Evaluate and plan professional development ■ Managers and supervisors of researchers supporting development of researchers
RDF ■ Trainers, developers, human resources specialists and careers advisors in planning and support ■ Understand skills unique to researchers
RDF • 4 domains • 12 sub-domains • 63 descriptors
Research • Creative and systematic work • Increase knowledge • Humans, culture and society • Knowledge for new applications
Research • Establish or confirmfacts • Reaffirm results of previous work • Solve new or existingproblems • Support theorems or develop new theories
BASIC Research • Documentation • Discovery • Interpretation • Research and Development (R&D)
FORMS OF Research • Scientific • Humanities • Artistic • Economic • Social • Business • Marketing • Technological, etc.
RESEARCH • Structural process • Vary depending on subject matter and researcher
Steps • Identification of research problem • Literature review • Specifying purpose of research • Determining specific research questions
Steps • Specification of conceptual framework - hypotheses • Choice of methodology (data collection) • Data collection • Verifying data
Steps • Analyzing and interpreting data • Reporting and evaluating research • Communicating research findings and recommendations
STEPS • Ever-changing iterative process • Not fixed set of steps
STEPS • Begin with statement of problem or purpose for engaging in study • Literature review identify flaws or holes in previous research which provide justification for study • Conducted in given subject area before research question identified
STEPS • Gap in current literature engenders research question – hypothesis • Hypothesis tested
STEPS • Researcher(s) collect data to test hypothesis. • Analyze and interpret data using statistical methods • Results of data analysis in rejecting or failing to reject null hypothesis reported and evaluated • Discuss avenue for further research
Research methods • Three main forms • Exploratory: identify and define problem or question • Constructive: test theories and propose solutions to problem or question • Empirical: tests feasibility of solution using empirical evidence
EMPIRICAL Research DeSIGN • Two: • Qualitative • Quantitative • Nature of research topic and research questions
Qualitative RESEARCH • Understanding human behaviour and reasons that govern such behavior • Asking broad question • Collecting data through words, images, video etc. • Analyzed and searching for themes
Qualitative RESEARCH • Investigate question without quantifying variables or look to potential relationships between variables • More restrictive in testing hypotheses • Expensive and time-consuming
Qualitative RESEARCH • Exploratory • Basis for later quantitative research hypotheses
QuantitATive RESEARCH • Random sampling • Structured data collection instruments • Easy to summarize, compare, and generalize • Testing hypotheses derived from theory
QUALITATIVE/Quantitative RESEARCH • Collect primary or secondary data • Primary: collected specifically - interviews or questionnaires • Secondary: data already exists • Mixed-method: includes qualitative and quantitative elements using both primary and secondary data
