Research G10 Q4

• defined as "a systematic and scientific procedure of data collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation, and implication about any problem." It involves the quest for answers to unsolved problems. Moreover, research methods may be defined as "a systematic and scientific procedure of data collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation, and implication about any problem


  Research
• describes, infers, and resolves problems using numbers. Emphasis is placed on the collection of numerical data, the summary of those data and the drawing of inferences from the data


  Quantitative Research
• is based on words, feelings, emotions, sounds and other non-numerical and unquantifiable elements.

  Qualitative Research
• is a term that abstractly describes and names an object, a phenomenon, or an idea.

  Concept
• It is an organized body of concepts and principles intended to a particular phenomenon.Examples include:the theory of relativity, atomic theory, theory of evolution, and quantum theory explain.

  Theory
•   This is a method that focuses on numbers, and objective hard data. It proves hypotheses through statistical analysis and scientific methods

  . It is called a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data is used to obtain information about the world. It is used to describe variables. It examines relationships among variables.

  Quantitative Method
• It uses words instead of numbers to display data. It focuses on feelings not numerical data. Small number of participants involved in a qualitative research study. This kind of research method utilizes interviews, archived written information, and observations to measure the significance of a relationship between variables

  Qualitative Method
• These are any quality of a person, group subject, event, condition, or situation that varies or takes on different values.

  Examples are age, sex, business income and expenses, country of birth, capital expenditure, class grades, eye color and vehicle type

  Variables
• It is a logical supposition, a reasonable guess, and an educated conjecture. It provides a tentative explanation of a phenomenon under investigation.

  For example, a researcher might be interested in the relationship between study habits and test anxiety. The researcher would propose a hypothesis about how these two variables are related, such as "Test anxiety decreases as a result of effective study habits."

  Hypothesis
• It is the process of selecting participants who are representatives of a larger population — to gain an understanding of a larger population.

  For example, a random sample may include choosing the names of 25 employees out of a hat in a company of 250 employees. The population is all 250 employees, and the sample is random because each employee has an equal chance of being chosen.

  Sampling
• SMART
