PLANNING A RESEARCH

WHERE AT WHAT LOCATION WILL THE RESEARCH TAKE PLACE?

WHEN AT WHAT POINT OF TIME WILL THE RESEARCH TAKE PLACE?
HOW WHAT METHODS OR DIFFERENT APPROACHES CAN BE USED TO GATHER AND
ANALYZE DATA?
WHO OR WHAT WHAT GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE STUDIED?

1. MAIN QUESTION
2. WHERE
3. WHEN
4. WHO OR WHAT
5. HOW
 MAIN QUESTION

THIS IS FROM YOUR PROBLEM STATEMENT

WHAT FACTORS CAUSE VISITORS IN THE BLUE ONLINE SHOP TO MAKE THEIR PURCHASE IN THE
STORE?
WHAT FACTORS IN EVOLUTION CAUSED BIRDS TO HAVE WINGS?
WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THE GRADE OF A HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT
 WHERE

THIS TELLS AT WHAT LOCATION WILL THE RESEARCH TAKE PLACE.

RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN AROUND THE ONLINE BLUE SHOP.
THE RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN AT THE BIRD CONSERVATORY
THE RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN IN QCSHS
 WHEN

THIS TELLS AT WHAT POINT OF TIME WILL THE RESEARCH TAKE PLACE
AFTER A CONSUMER PURCHASED A PRODUCT
DURING THE MIGRATORY SEASON OF THE BIRDS
AFTER THE TEST SCORES HAVE BEEN RELEASED
 HOW

TELLS WHAT METHODS OR DIFFERENT APPROACHES CAN BE USED TO GATHER AND ANALYZE
DATA
CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF TIME TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND BUDGET FOR COLLECTING
DATA
WITH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ARE USED. INCLUDING INTERVIEWS AND SURVEYS
THE RESEARCH IS DONE BY MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ENTERING THE SHOP
THE RESEARCH IS DONE BY STUDYING THE PREVIOUS, UNEVOLVED SPECIES OF THE BIRDS
THE RESEARCH IS DONE BY COLLECTING THE SCORES OF THE STUDENTS UNDER CERTAIN FACTORS
 LAYOUT OF A EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

THIS IS OFTEN TAUNTED AS THE MOST RIGOROUS PART OF THE RESEARCH DESIGN
STARTS WITH THE TITLE, THEN THE HYPOTHESIS, THE VARIABLES, THE NUMBER OF TRIALS AND
THE CONTROLS AND CONSTANTS
 LAYOUT

TITLE: THE EFFECT OF FERTILIZER ON THE GROWTH OF THE PLANT.

HYPOTHESIS: IF THERE IS THERE IS FERTILIZER APPLIED ON THE PLANT, THEN THERE WILL BE AN
EFFECT ON THE GROWTH OF THE PLANT.
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: PRESENCE OF THE FERTILIZER
No fertilizer With Fertilizer
3 trials 3 trials

DEPENDENT VARIABLE: THE HEIGHT OF THE PLANT IN CM

CONSTANTS: LOCATION, TYPE, AMOUNT OF WATER, HUMIDITY, TYPE OF SOIL, SHAPE OF
CONTAINER
 TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

CORRELATIONAL
STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO OR MORE VARIABLE THROUGH ANALYSIS.
IS ALSO KNOWN AS ASSOCIATIONAL RESEARCH.

CASUAL COMPARATIVE
ATTEMPTS TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENCES THAT ALREADY EXIST
BETWEEN OR AMONG GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS.
COMPARE TWO GROUPS WITH THE INTENT OF UNDERSTANDING THE REASONS OR CAUSES FOR
THE TWO GROUPS BEING DIFFERENT
 TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

EXPERIRMENTAL
IS COMMONLY USED IN SCIENCES SUCH AS SOCIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY,
BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE
IS A SYSTEMATIC AND SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO RESEARCH IN WHICH THE RESEARCHER
MANIPULATES ONE OR MORE VARIABLES, AND CONTROLS AND MEASURES ANY CHANGE IN OTHER
VARIABLES.
THERE IS CONSISTENCY IN A CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP (A CAUSE WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO THE SAME
EFFECT)
 TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL
IS A FORM OF EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH USED EXTENSIVELY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND
PSYCHOLOGY.
OFTEN REGARDED AS MISLEADING AND UNRELIABLE

CASE STUDY
IS A RESEARCH METHOD INVOLVING AN UP-CLOSE, IN-DEPTH, AND DETAILED EXAMINATION OF A
SUBJECT OF STUDY (THE CASE), AS WELL AS ITS RELATED CONTEXTUAL CONDITIONS.
CAN BE PRODUCED BY FOLLOWING A FORMAL RESEARCH METHOD.
 TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

HISTORICAL
INVOLVES EXAMINING PAST EVENTS TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS AND MAKE PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE
FUTURE

NARRATIVE
A TERM THAT SUBSUMES A GROUP OFAPPROACHES THAT IN TURN RELY ON THE WRITTEN OR
SPOKEN WORDS OR VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF INDIVIDUALS.
