Using the Input-Process-Output (IPO) Model


If you want to give emphasize to your research process, the input-process-output
model is the appropriate visual diagram for your conceptual framework.
To create your visual diagram using the IPO model, follow these steps:

1. Determine the inputs of your study. Inputs are the variables you will use to arrive at your research
result. Usually, your independent variables are also the inputs of your research. Let’s say your research
is about the Level of Satisfaction of College Students with the Use of Google Classroom as an Online
Learning Platform.  You may include in your inputs the profile of your respondents and the curriculum
used in the online learning platform.

2. Outline your research process. Using our example above, the research process should be like this:
Data collection of student profiles → Administering questionnaires → Tabulation of students’
responses → Statistical analysis of data.

3. State the research output. Indicate what you are expecting after you conduct the research. In our
example above, the research output is the assessed level of satisfaction of college students with the
use of Google Classroom as an online learning platform.

4. Create the model using the determined input, process, and output of the research.

What is input process and output?

The I-P-O framework is a systematic approach to recording and depicting the inputs, outputs, and process
stages involved in transforming inputs into outputs.

What is input process in research?

The inputs are the pre-activity circumstances of the group, and the processes are the interactions among the
group members. The outputs of a group’s efforts are the outcomes that are of value to the group or its
employer.

What is the purpose of input-process-output in research?

The IPO model is a useful framework for thinking about teams as a whole. Many elements, according to the
IPO model, affect a team’s efficiency and cohesion. It “offers insight into the dynamics at play in teams and
advice on how to bring out the best in them.”

How do you use input-process-output and conceptual framework?

Applying the IPO Model (Input-Process-Outcome) The first point of each investigation is figuring out its inputs.
The inputs are the elements that will be used in the calculation of the final outcome of the study. Describe
how you planned to go about gathering your information. Details of the study’s findings should be provided.
Construct the model based on the research-established inputs, procedures, and outcomes.

How does input and output process model work?

In the input-process-output paradigm, the inputs come from the user or some other source, the inputs are
processed, and the outputs are the results of the processing. There are three distinct types of tasks in the
system: A stipulation imposed by nature (input)

What are 3 types of output?


Visual, data, print, and audible are the four types of output devices.

What are the examples of input?

1. Input refers to any information or data that is entered into a computer system. Examples of Input Devices
Keyboard. Mouse. Microphone (audio input or voice input) Webcam. Touchpad. Digitized finger touch.
Drawing Tablet. Scanner. ΓÇó

What is the input process output cycle?

The Input–Process–Output (IPO) paradigm describes the relationship between inputs and outputs. The IPO
cycle is both the input to the information processing and the result. Input is required to produce output, and
output can only be achieved once input has been provided and processed.

What is the input transformation output process explain with example?

When information or people are used as inputs, the nature of the change may be less clear. When sick people
go to the hospital, they leave healthier (the output). Adaptations in the material or consumer physic are
examples of transformation processes.

What is the role of inputs to a process?

The inputs signify the outside data and materials that are brought into the process. All the work done to
change the inputs happens during the processing phase. The outputs are the information and resources that
result from the transformation.

How do you define a process?

The words “process,” “procedure,” and “proceeding” describe actions. A chemical process is an example of a
process, which consists of a set of sequential and interdependent processes leading to a desired result.
Parliamentary process is a good example of how the word “procedure” is often used to mean a formal,
prescribed manner of accomplishing something.

WHAT IS INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT IN RESEARCH

by lisaPosted onSeptember 6, 2022

| = Input
Input is something from the external environment that is fed into the system.
In an information system, the inputs may be raw data "captured" in some way or
pre-existing data which has been provided by an external system.
■ In either case, the data input is provided by an external entity.
P = Process
The transformation process is the most important element of a system.
The process accepts the inputs into the system and performs some type of
operation on it which transforms it into some other state. In the simplest of terms,
the process is at the heart of any system.
In a computerised information system, the process is normally the storage,
retrieval and modification of data which is accomplished by hardware and
software.

O = Output
Output from the system which is the result of processing the input.
■ Without output, a system has no link back into it's external environment.
■ Output of an information system may be reports generated by an information
system, or a picture on a computer monitor, or even data that is fed into another
external system.
