Scientific Investigation
A qualitative research problem statement:
Specifies the research methods to be utilized
Specifies a research hypothesis
Expresses a relationship between variables
Conveys a sense of emerging design
Qualitative research is used in all the following circumstances, EXCEPT:
It is based on a collection of non-numerical data such as words and pictures
It often uses small samples
It uses the inductive method
It is typically used when a great deal is already known about the topic of interest
In an experiment, the group that does not receive the intervention is called:
The experimental group
The participant group
The control group
The treatment group
One advantage of using a questionnaire is that:
Probe questions can be asked
Respondents can be put at ease
Interview bias can be avoided
Response rates are always high
Which of the following is true of observations?
It takes less time than interviews
It is often not possible to determine exactly why people behave as they do
Covert observation raises fewer ethical concerns than overt
All of the above
When conducting an interview, asking questions such as: "What else? or ‘Could you expand on that?’ are all forms of:
Structured responses
Category questions
Protocols
Probes
The ‘reliability’of a measure refers to the researcher asking:
Does it give consistent results?
Does it measure what it is supposed to measure?
Can the results be generalized?
Does it have face reliability?
Validity in interviews is strengthened by the following EXCEPT:
Building rapport with interviewees
Multiple questions cover the same theme
Constructing interview schedules that contain themes drawn from the literature
Prompting respondents to expand on initial responses

A set of rules of conduct to be followed in research
A problem or statement to be investigated through research
A process used to select individuals to participate in research
It is known as the process of structuring techniques and strategies that help researchers answer their inquiry.
Research Blueprint
Research Design
Qualitive Inquiry
Research Techniques
This approach is commonly used to elicit different ideas, opinions, or beliefs from the respondents.
Sampling
Belief theory
Grounded theory
Brainstorming
A group of research elements within which the research respondents will be taken from.
Population
Study population
Sample
Target population
It is the process of choosing samples from a population.

Population
Sampling
Participants are sampled according to what is conveniently available.
Accidental Sampling
Modal instance sampling
Cluster Sampling
Participants who exhibit the “most common” occurrence are sampled accordingly

start with a question and then a conversation follows
are guided by set questions that you adhere to without making any changes based upon the participants responses
are group based interview where the group interaction is an essential aspect of data collection
are when an interviewer follow a guidance of questions but allows scope for probing further.

are guided by set questions that you adhere to without making any changes based upon the participants responses
are group based interview where the group interaction is an essential aspect of data collection
are when an interviewer follow a guidance of questions but allows scope for probing further.
When is informed consent collected during research?
Just before participants take part in data collection

Before you conduct research
After you have submitted your proposal and ethics form
Once your proposal and ethics form have been cleared
Research designs: What do we mean by 'experimental'?
Research that involves using a range of participants with different backgrounds, ages and genders from the overall population
To look at the effects of an independent variable on a dependent variable.
Measuring the same variables over a long period of time and requires greater resources than other types of research
Investigating a particular phenomenon (e.g. an individual or team) over a long period of time.
The researcher compares two or more things with the aim of discovering something about one or all of them.
