Questions and Answers from the lecture
slides
The questions and answers are in a random order to acknowledge the questions
better.
Question Answer
What are the three main goals of The three main goals are to describe
research how something works, explain why it
works a certain way, and predict how
it will behave in the future
What makes a good research question A good research question should be
interesting, relevant, and feasible
What is the purpose of a literature The purpose is to provide background
review on the research topic, summarize
significant literature, identify gaps,
and justify the research question by
placing it in the context of existing
work
What is the difference between Deductive research starts with a
deductive and inductive research theory or hypothesis, while inductive
research begins with observations that
lead to the formation of a new theory
What are the characteristics of Qualitative research provides an in-
qualitative research depth understanding of real-world
situations, uses inductive or abductive
approaches, and often involves active
engagement with participants through
methods like interviews and
observations
What is a hypothesis in research A hypothesis is a testable prediction
based on empirical sub-questions and
should be clearly defined and
grounded in the literature review
How should a scientific research paper A typical research paper should
be structured include an Introduction, Materials &
Methods, Results, Discussion, and
Conclusion
What are the four key quality criteria The four criteria are construct validity,
for case study research internal validity, external validity, and
reliability
What is the role of conceptual models Conceptual models visually represent
in research how variables interact and contribute
either by presenting new theories or
modifying existing ones. They are
used to clarify theoretical
contributions
What are the steps in formulating a The steps include starting with a broad
research question topic, narrowing the focus, and
identifying a specific research problem
How is data analyzed in regression In regression, data is analyzed by
slides
