It discusses the philosophical worldviews that guide research approaches, examples of quantitative and qualitative research designs, and factors to consider when choosing an approach, such as the research problem, questions, personal experiences, audience, and resources.

Literature review nov16 (1)

tzoubir

A literature review demonstrates how your work builds on existing research and provides context. It critically analyzes and synthesizes relevant past research to identify gaps and establish a theoretical foundation for your own research questions. The review should be structured with an introduction, headings, and conclusion that relate back to your research topic and highlight what your study will contribute. When writing, use language that conveys your perspective and assessment of the literature.

Abstract writting

warda aziz

The document discusses the definition, types, and key components of an effective abstract. It notes that abstracts can be descriptive or informative, with descriptive abstracts written before a project and focusing on problems and methods, while informative abstracts are written after and focus on results and conclusions. An effective abstract is concise at 150-250 words, contains no vague statements, and can stand alone. It should include the paper's purpose and methodology, as well as its results and conclusions for informative abstracts. The abstract is written by the author and helps readers understand the full paper's relevance and content.

Reading a scientific paper

Diane Clark

This document provides guidance on how to read a scientific (psychology) article. It explains that a scholarly article is contained within a peer-reviewed journal, written by experts, and cites references. Newspapers and magazines differ in that they are shorter, lack references, and can express opinions. When reading a scientific article, the reader should skim first, then read sections in order - abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusion. Key steps are to look up unknown terms, identify the research question and how measurements align with the question. Sections include the abstract, introduction, literature review, methods, results, discussion, and references. The methods section describes the study design, population, materials, and procedures to allow replication.

Writing a Research - Part 1

Dr. Ahmed M. Al-Baidhani

The document provides an outline for writing a research proposal or thesis. It discusses selecting a topic and research approach, conducting a literature review, using theory, and writing strategies. For the research approach, it explains quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. It emphasizes developing a literature review matrix and critically evaluating sources. For theory, it discusses using theory deductively in quantitative research and inductively in qualitative research. Finally, it provides examples of proposal formats and sections for quantitative and qualitative research, such as the introduction, methods, significance and ethical issues.

This document discusses key terms used in research. It defines an abstract as a summary of all sections that helps readers decide whether to read the full report. The significance of the study states the importance of the research. A statement of the problem presents an overview and specific aims generated from the general problem, typically in question form. The scope delimits the research area and parameters while delimitations describe boundaries like sample size and location. A literature review examines previous work on the topic. The methodology explains how the research was conducted regarding design, sampling, instruments, procedures, and analysis. A bibliography lists all sources. Plagiarism occurs when ideas or content are used without acknowledging the original sources.

Discussion 3 Evaluating Research Questions, Hypotheses, and Qua.docx

elinoraudley582231

Discussion 3: Evaluating Research Questions, Hypotheses, and Quantitative Research Designs With a clear purpose in place, quantitative researchers have a roadmap for crafting their research questions and hypotheses that will further focus the approach they will take to investigate their topic (i.e., their study’s research design). The selection of a research design is guided by the study’s purpose and research questions and hypotheses, and the design then links the research questions and hypotheses to the data that will be collected. You should keep in mind, however, that the research process is interactive, not necessarily proceeding in a linear fashion from one component to the next. Rather, the writing of research questions could, for example, necessitate adjustments to the study’s purpose statement. Nevertheless, when presented together, the various components of a research study should align. As you learned last week, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, when researchers select a research design, they must also consider the ethical implications of their choice, including, for example, what their design selection means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy. For this Discussion, you will evaluate quantitative research questions and hypotheses in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design. You will also identify the type of quantitative research design the authors used and explain how it was implemented. You will also complete online training in the protection of human research participants. Due 06/27/2017 by 5 pm References Spencer, M. S., Rosland, A. M., Kieffer, E. C., Sinco, B.
