RESEARCH PROJECT

Research - process of executing various mental acts for discovering and examining facts and information to
prove the accuracy or truthfulness of your claims or conclusions about the topic of study
Inquiry - form of authentic (real-life) problems within the context of the curriculum and/or community
Investigation - states clearly the purpose or research questions of the study

Population - refers to all members listed in the sampling frame representing a certain group focused on by a
study

Synthesizing - refers to the bringing together of materials from different sources, and the creation of an
integrated whole

Sample - the chosen participants representing a certain group focused on by a study

Sampling technique - to the process of selecting respondents or people to answer questions meant to yield
data for a research study
A. Convenience Sampling - technique is selecting a group of individuals who are expediently available
for study
B. Quota Sampling - used when the number of samples is decided by the researcher and selection is
also made out of availability of the respondent
C. Cluster Sampling - appropriate when groups of subjects rather than individuals are selected

Availability sampling = Convenience sampling

Data Collection
1. Observation
Example: The Reaction of Toddler’s to the Marshmallow Test
2. Action Research
Example: The Implementation of Waste Segregation Policies in DEGMNHS
3. Interview
Example: The Experiences of A Bullied 12 Year Old Gay Student

Slovin’s - formula is used in computing for the sample size for a study

N
n= 2 equation of the formula to determine sample size

Characteristics of Qualitative
1. Objective - It seeks accurate measurement and analysis of target concepts.
2. Numerical - The data are in the form of numbers and statistics that are arranged in tables, charts and
figures or in other textual forms.
3. Replicable - A study could be repeated to achieve a high reliability of results

Literature review - The written component of a research project that discusses the existing research the
researcher reviewed.

 In APA style, what does a long quotation which is more than 40 words long need
 To be single-spaced, indented half an inch, and enclosed in single quotation marks

Written or media content that you have used - information must always be cited within the text

Significance Of The Study - part of the research specifies the possible benefits of the research study

Background of the study - describes the context of the research and the rationale of the research problem

REMEMBER:

1. The most common reason for writing a literature review is creating links to a developing body of
knowledge.

2. Sources need to be cited

3. Plagiarism is a breach of morals and ethics.

4. Synthesis refers to the bringing together of materials from different sources, and the creation of an
integrated whole
5. To review an article you cannot just skim over it.

6. A research study must have a well – written problem statement because it serves as a guide in
conducting the research.

RRL (Review of Related Literature) - An in-depth examination of texts to identify and investigate where
current understanding is unclear and which the new research can address.

How does the RRL serve as between world knowledge and man’s knowledge - Linker

“you just do not catalog ideas in your research paper, but also interpret them or merge your thinking
with the author’s ideas”? - Paraphrasing

Scope and Delimitation

1. Reflect parameters of the study.

2. Must be specific and concise

Currency - There is a newer study on this. I will look for it

Accuracy - The merits of this author are impeccable. I will list it this article down
