What are the two ways that patterns are used to "create" knowledge? -
(correct answer) Non-scientific and Scientific
Non-Scientific Pattern Seeking - (correct answer) Authority,
tradition, individual experience, emotion
The most prominent method of pattern recognition used in human
inquiry - (correct answer) Non-scientific pattern seeking
Scientific Pattern Seeking - (correct answer) based on data and
statistics. inductive and deductive
5 logic errors - (correct answer) inaccurate observation
overgeneralization
selective observation
illogical reasoning
resistance to change
inaccurate observation - (correct answer) occurs when observations
are based on faulty perceptions of empirical reality.
,overgeneralization - (correct answer) occurs when we conclude that
what we have observed or know to be true for a subset of cases holds
true for the entire set
evidence-based practice - (correct answer) policy or program that
has been evaluated with a methodologically rigorous design and has
been proven to be effective
Evidence based programs or polices have been empirically shown to: -
(correct answer) •Produce the desired outcomes for the target
population
•Reduce or eliminate unintended consequences
•Save money
•Be reliably and accurately implemented
•Be reliably and accurately evaluated
A program or policy becomes evidence-based once: - (correct answer)
data have been collected and analyses have been conducted to show
its effectiveness in reducing criminal behavior.
in order to fully understand the evidence in support of such programs: -
(correct answer) an understanding of data and data analysis is
needed.
,selective observation - (correct answer) occurs when observations
are chosen because they are in accord with preferences or beliefs of
the observer
illogical reasoning - (correct answer) involves prematurely jumping
to conclusions and arguing on the basis of invalid assumptions
resistance to change - (correct answer) involves reluctance to
change perspectives in light of new information due to ego-based
commitments, excessive devotion to tradition, or uncritical agreement
with authority
two important ways that scientific pattern seeking is different than
non-scientific pattern seeking - (correct answer) 1.Scientific pattern
seeking is a conscious activity - researchers make a conscious effort to
observe phenomena, record observations in meaningful ways, and
make conclusions based on these observations.
2.Scientific pattern seeking is a more careful process with guidelines to
follow and safeguards against making errors in reasoning.
Inductive scientific pattern seeking - (correct answer) involves using
data to make general statements about the world
Deductive scientific pattern seeking - (correct answer) involves using
data and statistics to test hypotheses. this approach is designed to
greatly reduce any potential errors in reasoning
, Scientific Method - (correct answer) 1. develop a research question
2. literature review
3. construct hypothesis
4. test with an experiment/design study
5. analyze results/draw conclusion
6. report the results whether the hypothesis is true of false
-if false, go back to constructing hypothesis phase
the main focus of this course is on - (correct answer) answering the
research question
social science research methods involve systematic procedures for
identifying patterns - (correct answer) true
Data is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as - (correct
answer) factual information used as a basis of reasoning, discussion,
or calculation.
Data are: - (correct answer) pieces of information that describe
something
Information turns into data which describes patterns - (correct
answer) true
