Lesson 1 - What is scientific research?
1. Different types of research
Fundamental/basic, practical and applied research
- Applied: met het doel specifieke, praktische problemen op te lossen of iets nieuws te
ontwikkelen dat in de wereld kan toegepast worden
- Praktisch onderzoek = the building of knowledge useful to practice that. adheres to the basic
principles of scientific inquiry meestal in orthopedie
- Fundamental research: uitzoeken hoe iets werkt op een niveau dat niet direct in de praktijk
uitgevoerd kan worden; focust op het begrijpen basisprincipes en concepten, niet zozeer
specifieks iets nieuws te creëren
Quantitative and qualitative research
- qualitative = observaties, interviews, enquêtes…
- quantitative = een getal, hoeveelheid, metingen…
2. Characteristics of good research
Researcher is objective and open to any possible outcomes
Research is general breed, algemeen
- Not influenced by (individual/subjective) judgements, prejudices, opinions and wishes
- Describes a true and correct reality, independent of those involved in the research process
- Relevant/applicable to a “sample” population
The method and the results can be verified
- Transparent, complete, open
The study is repeatable
- Others must be able to repeat the examination, to apply the methods already described in
another study
Systematic and structured research
Research is carried out step by step, phases of the research are well defined
- Identify the problem.
- Review literature.
- Define research question (objectives and hypotheses).
- Decide the research design.
- Describe the population/sample.
- Collect data.
- Process and analyze data.
- Write the report

, 3. Research goal/aim
4. General set-up of research
1) Research question good question
- Question form
always, what do you want to find out
If not a question aim or hypothesis of the research study
- Research question ≠ aim/goal of research
- Open or closed
Open questions: more nuanced, more complete, more difficult to process
Closed questions: less nuanced, less complete, easier to process
- Formulation: specific, narrow/focused, not ambiguous
2) Phases of research
- Phase 1: Define the objective
- Phase 2: Review literature, background information
- Phase 3: Formulate the research question
- Phase 4: Research design
- Phase 5: Acquisition of data
- Phase 6: Process and analyze data
- Phase 7: Evaluation, feedback to objective
- Phase 8: Report
5. How is research reported?
Scientific articles
- Researcher is objective and open to any possible outcomes
- The method and the results can be verified
- The study is repeatable
- Systematic research
- How does an article get published?
The set-up of an article
- Title
- Abstract
- Keywords
- Introduction / background
