IDEA AND THEORY 1. Idea starts every research 2. Where does “idea” come from? Answer a: from particular problems or situation we experience (Experience) b: from information we may not experience ourselves (Inexperience )
Keep arising the problem Explore and find answer Start doing research
Theory A system of logical statement explaining the relationship between two objective, concept, phenomena, or characteristic of human (Babbaie, 1992; Denzin, 1978; Polit & Hungler, 1993).
Theory To: 1. Developexplanationsabout reality or the way of classify and organize event 2. Describe events 3. Predict the event in the future
Argue Theory-before-research model begin with idea and disprove them through tests of empirical research Research-before-theory model research should be occur before developing theory
Linear progression Theory-before-research model Idea→Theory→Design→Data Collection→Analysis→Finding Research-before-theory model Idea→Design→Data Collection→Theory→Analysis→Finding
Spiraling progression Idea→ LR→ Design→ Data Collection→ Analysis→ Dissemination and and Organization Finding
Literature Review Four steps 1. to formulate a rough question for research 2. to visit the library to start on literature review 3. to ask the librarian 4. to Make a list
An important thing ★ to develop many different subject areas to research → to get more useful information
Index Two versions 1. Paperbound version 2. Computer-based version
★ don’t restrictive in your topics when searching for reference materials in indexes ☆ to find the relevant reference indexes for your research ideas
Literature searching ★ don’t forget to keep records on any notes
Two-card Method 1. Author card 2. Topic card
Author card FIGURE 2-1 Author Card
Topic card FIGURE 2-2 Topic card
Topic Card In the Topic Card, it includes : The author’s name The date of the publication A brief topical label A short verbatim excerpt
The advantages of topiccard • Topic card reduces the physical amount of material. • You can very quickly sort the topic cards into their categories. • Topic cards allow you to assess whether multiple authors actually have made similar statements about issues or situations. • Topic card is very portable.
Q: How much should annotate on the topic cards? A : only about two or four paragraphs. • The purpose of these cards is to reduce the amount of material ultimately necessary for the writer-investigator.
Framing Research Problems • It is important to frame or formulate a clear research problem statement. • Q: How to frame the research problem? A: 1. Thinking about what issues were important and how those issues might be measured. 2. Researcher should consider various concept and definitions.
Operationalization & conceptualization • Different people have different definitions. Example: That kid’s a delinquent. • Define everything directly in the beginning of the research.
Quantitative research : Create some index, scale or similar measurement indicator to calculate how much of or what degree the concept exists. • Qualitative investigators : Realize what a concept means in a given research and how that concept is to be identified and examined.
Not every concept is easy to define or to measure Nursing research is not easy to operationalize. Examples: • physiological • social • psychological
Do not forget to reread your literature review. • You can seek ways others have previously examined. • As a researcher, you have to make clear what your concepts mean. Otherwise, your research is easy to failure.
DATA COLLECTION & ORGANIZATION Imagine what the situation will be
TRYING IT OUT • Suggestion 1 Write a single synthesized definition. • Suggestion 2 Find 10 resources of reference material. • Suggestion 3 Find 6 concepts and operationally define each.
