Review Time Talkie Time: Research worth Sharing
Lesson 4, Objectives : The learner • designs a research project related to daily life • writes a research title • 3. describes the justifications/reasons for conducting the research
Group Activity: List down 3 topics you want to pursue in the class and Fill in the table.
“12 Steps of Research” • Identify the research question • Initial review of literature • Distilling the question to a researchable problem • Continued review of literature • Formulation of hypothesis/assumptions • Determining the basic research approach • Identifying the population and sample • Designing the data collection plan • Selecting or developing data collection instruments • Choosing the method of data analysis • Implementing the research plan • Interpreting the results
Choosing and developing a topic -watch the video
It is important that you select a topic of interest to you: Researching will be more fun Audience will be interested if you are
PREPARING A RESEARCH PROPOSAL Why? – Identifies the need and significance of conducting the study. What? – Presents the statement of the research problem, the questions about which one is seeking answers or the hypotheses one would like to test. How? - Describes the methodology to be employed for conducting the research.
The Research Question • The foundation of the research process • It all begins with a question
RESEARCH PROBLEM - Greek word “Probaloin” - A situation for which there is no ready or successful response as of the moment. • Sources of Problems 1. Field of specialization 2. Academic or professional encounters 3. Collateral reading a. Extensive reading – covers a range of topics for setting background purposes b. Intensive Reading – covers selected themes for in depth, analytical or evaluative purposes.
Types of Research Questions • Conceptualize that a research study can ask three types of questions: • Descriptive question • Relationship question • Difference question • This general classification scheme helps not only with the design of the study, but also in choosing the type of data analysis procedure
Descriptive Question • Seeks to describe phenomena or characteristics of a particular group of subjects being studied • Answers the question “what is” • Asking questions of the research participants • Testing or measuring their performance • Survey research • Example • What are the attitudes of rural parents toward the inclusion of sexuality education in the school curriculum? (Welshimer & Harris, 1994)
Relationship Question • Investigates the degree to which two or more variables are associated with each other • Does not establish “cause-and-effect” • Only identifies extent of relationship between variables • Example • Is there an association between self-esteem and eating behaviors among collegiate female swimmers? (Fey, 1998)
Difference Question • Seeks to make comparisons between or within groups of interest • Often associated with experimental research • Is there a difference between the control group and the experimental group? • Comparison of one group to another on the basis of existing characteristics • Example • Does participation in Special Olympics affect the self-esteem of adults with mental retardation? (Major, 1998)
Activity: Based on the topic, formulate the three types of questions: Descriptive, Relationships and Difference1. Emotional Quotient2. Writing Skills3. Metabolism4. Work Satisfaction5. Self-Motivation
CRITERIA IN RESEARCH PROBLEM SELECTION A. Problem Characteristics • Novelty and Originality- Practical Value - Availability of Data B. Researcher’s Characteristics • Researcher’s Special Qualification - Researcher’s Interest C. Process Feasibility • Time requirement – Cost - Hazards and Hazard ships • Availability of Facilities
Factors in Selecting A Topic • Interest • Size • Economy • Researcher’s Capabilities and Limitations • Uniqueness
