Correlational Research Design
In correlational research , either relational , predictive , and multivariate ,
involving the calculation of the variable complex korelasii ( criterion variable )
with other variables that are considered have relationship ( predictor variables ) .
To test these relationships , design or steps taken for the study and prediction of
the same relational although the details of each step for the two different ,
particularly in the collection and the analysis of data . Measures proficiency level ,
the most basic , are : the determination of the problem , the determination of the
subject , data collection , and data analysis .
a. determination of the problem
As in any research , the first step is to do research isto determine the research
issues that will be the focus of his studies . In correlational research , issues
chosen should have significant value in the patterns of behavior that goes a
complex phenomenon comprehension . In addition, the variables included in
the study should be based on consideration , both theoretically and reason ,
that these variables have a certain relationship . This can usually be obtained
based on the results of previous studies or earlier .
b . Determination of the subject
Subjects were recruited for this study must be measured in the variables that
are the focus of research . The subject should be relatively homogeneous in
factors beyond the studied variables that may affect the dependent variable .
When the subjects involved have significant differences in these factors , the
correlation between the variables studied are blurred . To reduce the
heterogeneity , researchers can classify subjects into groups based on certain
factors and levels , then examine the relationship between the study variables
for each group .
c . data collection
Various types of instruments can be used to measure and collect data each
variable , such as questionnaires , tests , interview guide and observation
guide , of course, tailored to the needs . The data collected by these
provide certain information about program or person . This instrument can easily
give the appearance of a picture , especially the appearance in the line of duty,
which shows the frequency of emergence properties . In preparing the scale ,
which needs to be considered is how to determine variable scale . What should be
asked what can be observed respondent .
6 . Documentation .
Documentation , from the origin of the word document , which means the
written stuff . In implement methods of documentation , research investigating
objects such books written , magazines , documents , regulations , minutes of
meetings , and so on
