10 Research design is the framework of research methods and techniques chosen by a researcher. terms
Activity 1
Correlational research
phrase
Is a non-experimental research technique that helps researchers establish a relationship between two closely connected variables. This type of research requires two different groups. There is no assumption while evaluating a relationship between two different variables, and statistical analysis techniques calculate the relationship between them.
Example: A non-experimental design will be utilized, and CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH method will be used to study the relationships between attribute variables such as humour and adjustment.
es: Investigación correlacional
Data collection
phrase
Data collection is defined as the procedure of collecting, measuring and analyzing accurate insights for research using standard validated techniques. A researcher can evaluate their hypothesis on the basis of collected data. In most cases, data collection is the primary and most important step for research, irrespective of the field of research. The approach of data collection is different for different fields of study, depending on the required information.
Example: The sample size will be determined once saturation point within the data analysis has been reached, this is when further DATA COLLECTION appears to add no new information to that already gathered (Robson, 2002; Sim and Wright, 2000).

Diagnostic research
phrase
In diagnostic design, the researcher is looking to evaluate the underlying cause of a specific topic or phenomenon. This method helps one learn more about the factors that create troublesome situations.
Example: DAGNOSIS RESEARCH is central to medical practice. It refers to knowing (“gnosis”) about the health of a client. Typically, diagnostic research focuses on estimating the sensitivity and specificity of individual diagnostic tests, their predictive values, and other parameters of interest (such as likelihood ratios, ROC curves, test reliability). Accuracy measures are then used to generate posttest probabilities, given a set of pretest probabilities.

Experimental research
Phrase
Experimental research is research conducted with a scientific approach using two sets of variables. The first set acts as a constant, which you used to measure the differences of the second set. Quantitative research methods, for example, are experimental.
Example: These theories are only useful if they can be applied to EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH to answer the question of whether television and film violence is harmful to children.
es: Investigación experimental
Measurement
noun
The process of associating numbers with physical quantities and phenomena. Measurement is fundamental to the sciences; to engineering, construction, and other technical fields; and to almost all everyday activities. For that reason the elements, conditions, limitations, and theoretical foundations of measurement have been much studied.
Example: It provides the closest MEASUREMENT and comprehensible comparison between countries with its easily linked and identifiable figures.

Qualitative research
phrase
Determines relationships between collected data and observations based on mathematical calculations. Theories related to a naturally existing phenomenon can be proved or disproved using statistical methods. Researchers rely on qualitative research methods that conclude “why” a particular theory exists along with “what” respondents have to say about it.
Example: Denzin (1989 cited in Polit and Hungler, 1997) has identified four types of triangulation used in QUALITATIVE RESEARCH.
es: Investigación cualitativa
Quantitative research
phrase
Is for cases where statistical conclusions to collect actionable insights are essential. Numbers provide a better perspective to make critical business decisions. Quantitative research methods are necessary for the growth of any organization. Insights drawn from hard numerical data and analysis prove to be highly effective when making decisions related to the future of the business.
Example: Therefore, this essay will first briefly describe and explain the methods adopted in QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH, and use this to highlight the different methods used by qualitative researchers. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH has been described as being concerned with counting, for example, to discover the proportion of one make of a car to another in a particular area.
es: Investigación cuantitativa
Reliability
noun
Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, or will operate in a defined environment without failure.
Example: To test the phylogeny tree branches and nodes rather than the whole tree greatly credits the RELIABILITY.
es: Fiabilidad
Research Design
Phrase
Research design is the framework of research methods and techniques chosen by a researcher. The design allows researchers to hone in on research methods that are suitable for the subject matter and set up their studies up for success.
Example: RESEARCH DESIGN and Methodology A combined application of quantitative and qualitative methodology will be adopted in the research.
es: Diseño de la investigación
Survey research
Phrase
Survey Research is defined as the process of conducting research using surveys that researchers send to survey respondents. The data collected from surveys is then statistically analyzed to draw meaningful research conclusions.
Example: Again this ethical problem would not arise for SURVEY RESEARCH as the information used would be directly from the individuals and organisation concerned and so respondents are likely to know that the findings will be viewed publicly.
