What is the goal of this source? • Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project?
Chem 1 Lab B. Reflect on the important scientific practices of (1) Asking Questions, (2) Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, and (3) Analyzing and Interpreting Data by doing the following: 1. Define each of the three scientific practices. a. Asking Questions: Asking questions is where we discuss what we are looking for in our scientific practices, asking what, when, where, why, how and who.
Another advantage of qualitative research is that it gives more thorough data in the shape of complete descriptions in written form or visual evidence, such as photographs. This type of research looks at context and social meaning and how it affects individuals, which is beneficial mostly in the social sciences. The disadvantage of qualitative research is the interpretation of researcher s’ own biased view, which can misinterpret the facts. Another disadvantage is that this research method is very time consuming. Quantitative research allows assessing and analyzing data.
Part 3 The Learning Team should focus on questions that will be part of a survey used to research the topic. Consider the various types of questions you could ask on this
In the systemic review, both data extraction and analysis will be performed in a collaborative manner. During the extraction process, the design of the study will be given great attention by focusing on randomized controlled trials. The review will also consider the number of articles with abstracts and methodologies that address the research question. In addition, the systemic review will take into account the sample characteristics by focusing on parameters as age, gender, size sample, and activity profile of the subjects. The research will also focus on the outcome measured by individual articles, results at baseline, the post-intervention practices carried out, and as well as any reported follow-up periods, and mean differences form the baseline, coupled with their statistical significance.
Feasible? Were alternatives considered? • What aspect of the project involved vision, leadership, policy? • How does the project build upon knowledge, relate to theory, relate to the literature, and foster practice-related research? • Who will benefit from this work?
Justify your selection. o Conclusions • Discuss whether your research findings answered your problem statement—the research question—or if more research might be necessary. Discussion
Unit 1 Assignment 2: WebQuest The language of research had many a description regarding the different types of research methods when it comes to knowledge. Many philosophies and criteria of how we must conduct a research using rationality and best practices is the main idea in the Research Methods Knowledge Base webpage. According to Knowledge Base and its sub-title name “Types of Questions,” there are three basic types of questions that research projects have to address before moving on to its final product or shared with the world. One example is the “Descriptive method, which is used when a study is designed primarily to describe what is going on or what exist. Public opinion polls that seek only to describe the proportion of people who hold various opinions are primarily descriptive in nature (KB).
RESEARCH METHOD: CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION The case study method is amongst the most flexible of research designs, and is particularly useful in researching issues related to sustainability and institutional systems. It incorporates a number of data-gathering strategies: •document analysis, •surveys, •participant or non-participant observation, and •participatory or action research Case study research can serve a variety of functions, such as: exploratory (enabling researchers to get a feeling for potentially important variables and to describe phenomena in the appropriate contextual setting), for testing hypotheses or theories (relating to cause and effect in a quasi-experimental fashion), and for policy analysis (teasing out prescriptions for action). Past literature reveals the application of the case study method in many areas and disciplines. Among them include natural examples in the fields of Sociology (Grassel & Schirmer, 2006), Law (Lovell, 2006) and Medicine (Taylor & Berridge, 2006). In addition, there are also other areas that have used case study methods extensively, particularly in government, management and in education.
