significance of defining the scope of research inquiry

Research = scope nasasakupan

how to determine wezs ll-formulated research question

1. Clarity: Does the sentence clearly express what the research aims to investigate? Is the language clear and
easy to understand?
2. Specificity: Does the sentence focus on a specific aspect or dimension of the topic, or is it too broad or
vague?
3. Relevance: Does the sentence address a gap in knowledge or contribute to existing literature in the field? Is
it relevant and meaningful?
4. Feasibility: Is the research question feasible to answer within the constraints of a research project, including
time, resources, and ethical considerations?
5. Originality: Does the research question offer a new perspective, approach, or insight into the topic, or does
it simply reiterate what is already known?
6. Testability: Can the research question be tested through empirical research methods? Is it possible to
gather data or evidence to support or refute the hypotheses or assertions implied by the question?
7. Interest: Does the research question inspire curiosity and motivate further inquiry? Is it interesting and
intellectually stimulating to potential readers or stakeholders in the field?

the primary goal of research inquiry

Research inquiry refers to the systematic process of questioning, exploring, and investigating a particular topic or
phenomenon in order to generate new knowledge, deepen understanding, or solve a problem. It involves asking
relevant questions, formulating hypotheses or research objectives, designing appropriate methodologies to gather
and analyze data, and drawing conclusions based on evidence. Research inquiry can take various forms, including
scientific experiments, surveys, case studies, literature reviews, and theoretical analyses, depending on the nature of
the research question and the goals of the study. The ultimate aim of research inquiry is to contribute to the
advancement of knowledge within a specific field or discipline.

Case studies, theoretical reviews, literature reviews, surveys.

Parts of a research

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Brief statement of the origin of the problem

Significance of the study

- This is the justification of the research.

- This section explains why the problem being investigated is

important and why the results are significant.
Scope and delimitations
- The scope presents the content and coverage and what variables are included in the
study. It also includes explanation as to why some areas are not taken into
consideration or not included as variables.

- The scope is expected to indicate a reasonable area of study which is large enough to
be significant but narrow enough to permit careful treatment.
Conceptual Framework
- Conceptual framework is textual but it contains a graphical or pictorial presentation, the
paradigm, of the underlying theories as bases for the study.
- A tentative explanation or theoretical explanation of the phenomenon or problem.

Types of Variables

Controlled variable or constant variable (not changing during an experiment)

extraneous variables – extra vrbls that may influence an outcome of an experiment
Definition of Terms – Complicated words or phrases that my have special or unique meaning.

Importance of peer review in the research process

Peer review ensures the quality, credibility, and integrity of research by subjecting it to evaluation from experts in the
field. It validates findings, improves manuscripts, disseminates knowledge, guards against misconduct, and fosters
researchers' skills and collaboration.

What is a hypothesis in a research

A hypothesis states your predictions about what your research will find. It is a tentative answer
to your research question that has not yet been tested. For some research projects, you might
have to write several hypotheses that address different aspects of your research question.
A hypothesis in research is a testable statement or prediction that proposes a relationship
between variables. It serves as a tentative explanation for a phenomenon or a specific question
that the researcher aims to investigate through empirical observation and analysis

The purpose of a literature review
The purpose of a literature review is to gain an understanding of the existing research and
debates relevant to a particular topic or area of study, and to present that knowledge in the
form of a written report.

Methods of primary research
interviews, surveys, observations, Experiments

Steps in the research process.

The research process is comprised of 5 steps:
identifying the purpose,
designing a research plan,
collecting the data,
interpreting the data, and
reporting the findings.
There are two key types of research with their own research methods:
qualitative and quantitative research.

12.Inquiry involve in the learning process by Asking questions and investigating topics of interest
13. inquiry contribute to learning By motivating individuals to collect data and examine information
14. the primary purpose of inquiry in the learning process is to motivate individuals to obtain
knowledge
15. the purpose of a literature review in business research is to summarize the findings of previous
studies
16. type of research design involves studying a group of subjects over an extended period to observe
changes or trends is Longitudinal study
17. what is first step in the business research process
The first step in the business research process is typically defining the research problem or
objective. This involves identifying and clarifying the specific issue or question that the research
aims to address. By clearly defining the problem or objective, researchers can establish the scope
of the study, identify relevant variables, and determine the appropriate research methods and
approaches to use.

2. sampling method
Probability sampling methods include simple random sampling, systematic sampling,
stratified sampling, and cluster sampling. What is non-probability sampling? In non-
probability sampling, the sample is selected based on non-random criteria, and not
every member of the population has a chance of being included.

3. sampling techniques in research

 Probability sampling, also known as random sampling, is a kind of

sample selection where randomisation is used instead of deliberate
choice. Each member of the population has a known, non-zero
chance of being selected.
 Non-probability sampling techniques are where the researcher
deliberately picks items or individuals for the sample based on non-
 random factors such as convenience, geographic availability, or
costs.
 Systematic sampling

Start with third person and pick every 10th person

Stratified sampling

Stratified sampling involves random selection within predefined groups.

It’s a useful method for researchers wanting to determine what aspects
of a sample are highly correlated with what’s being measured. They can
then decide how to subdivide (stratify) it in a way that makes sense for
the research.
