THE SELECTION OF A RESEARCH APPROACH

1.

What are Research Approaches?

They are plans and the procedures for research that span the steps from broad assumptions
to detailed methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation.

2.

What do the procedures do?

With them we are able to create sampling, consent, reciprocity, data collection methods
and instruments, data analysis and interpretation, and reporting.

3.

How does the researcher select a research approach?

The researcher chooses an approach taking into account the research problem the personal
experiences of the same researcher, and the audience for whom he or she writes.

4.

What are the three key terms that represent a perspective about research?
Research approaches, research designs, and research methods.

Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.

6.

What is Qualitative research? What is Qualitative research used for?

relationship among variables.
9.

What are the Mix Methods? What does this approach involve?
It is an approach to inquiry involving collecting both quantitative and qualitative data,

THRREE COMPONENTS INVOLVED IN AN APPROACH

Philosophical assumptions and distinct methods or procedures.
11. Do philosophical ideas remain hidden in research? Do they need to be identified? Why?
Yes. Yes. They will help explain why they chose qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods
approaches for their research.

12. What is a narrative research?

It is a design of inquiry in which the researcher studies the lives of individuals and asks them
to provide stories about their lives.

RESEARCH METHODS
13. What do the research methods include?
They involve the forms of data collection, analysis, and interpretation that researchers
propose for their studies.
