Sped RESEARCH

CASE STUDY - a process or record of research in which detailed consideration

is given to the development of a particular person, group, or
situation over a period of time.

RESEARCH - the systematic investigation into and study of materials and

sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

CASE-ANALYSIS - are in-depth investigations of a single person, group, event

or community. Typically, data are gathered from a variety of
sources and by using several different methods (e.g. observations
& interviews).

SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM - something you don't understand but you can do an

experiment to help you understand. Scientific problems are usually
based on observation of scientific phenomena.

ANALYTICAL - relating to or using analysis or logical reasoning.

METHODICAL - done according to a systematic or established form of procedure.

LOGICAL - of or according to the rules of logic or formal argument.

characterized by or capable of clear, sound reasoning.

EMPIRICAL - based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or

experience rather than theory or pure logic.

CYCLICAL - process of continuous improvement as a facet of research.

CRITICAL - producing well-reasoned analysis and understanding by gathering and

evaluating ideas and assumptions from multiple perspectives.

REPLICABILITY - refers to the possibility of replicating someone else's work

or results to establish its validity.
SYNTHETIC GIFTEDNESS - annotates creativity, intuition, or the capacity of
adapting to new situations.

EFFICIENT - achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or

expense.

ECONIMICAL - giving good value or service in relation to the amount of money,

time, or effort spent.

HONEST - free of deceit and untruthfulness.

FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH - has the scientific research aim to improve scientific
theories for improved understanding or
prediction of natural or other phenomena.

APPLIED RESEARCH - is a methodology used to solve a specific, practical

problem of an individual or group.

DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH - defined as the systematic study of designing,

developing, and evaluating instructional
programs, processes, and products that must
meet criteria of internal consistency and
effectiveness.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH - is a systematic and scientific approach to research in

which the researcher manipulates one or more
variables, and controls and measures any change
in other variables.

PRUDENCE - the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason.

INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY - is a term used to describe one's desire to invest

time and energy into learning more about a
person, place, thing or concept.

HEALTHY CRITICISM - criticisms designed for motivation and is intended to

serve a purpose that is constructive, or that the
targeted person would approve of.

INTELLECTUAL HONESTY - is honesty in the acquisition, analysis, and

transmission of ideas.

INTELLECTUAL CREATIVITY - ability to come up with new ideas through a mental

process of connecting existing concepts.

CREATIVE - relating to or involving the imagination or original ideas,

especially in the production of an artistic work.

RESOURCEFUL - having the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome
difficulties.

SCIENTIFIC - based on or characterized by the methods and principles of

science.

CYCLICAL BASIC RESEARCH -

FIELD RESEARCH - defined as a qualitative method of data collection that aims
to observe, interact and understand people while they are
in a natural environment.

ACTION RESEARCH - refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and

analytical research methods designed to diagnose problems
or weaknesses and help educators develop practical
solutions to address them quickly and efficiently.

LABORATORY RESEARCH - generally involves experiments conducted in a laboratory

where researchers look to explore and understand the
interaction and relationship between various
materials or biological matter and/or involve
computational analyses.

BASIC RESEARCH - has the scientific research aim to improve scientific

theories for improved understanding or prediction of natural
or other phenomena.

LIBRARY RESEARCH - involves the step-by-step process used to gather

information in order to write a paper, create a
presentation, or complete a project.

INTERVENING VARIABLE - a hypothetical variable used to explain causal links

between other variables.

MODERATOR VARIABLE - commonly denoted as just M, is a third variable that

affects the strength of the relationship between a
dependent and independent variable.

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE - a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does

not depend on that of another.

DEPENDENT VARIABLE - is what you measure in the experiment and what is

affected during the experiment. It depends on the
independent variable.

ASSUMPTIONS - something that is accepted as true or as certain to happen,

without proof.

DATA PROCESSING - a series of operations on data, especially by a computer, to

retrieve, transform, or classify information.

RESEARCH DESIGN - a framework of methods and techniques chosen by a researcher

to combine various components of research in a reasonably
logical manner so that the research problem is efficiently
handled.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK - introduces and describes the theory that explains why
the research problem under study exists.

CONTROLLED VARIABLE - one which the researcher holds constant (controls)

during an experiment.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK - can be applied in different categories of work where an

overall picture is needed. It is used to make
conceptual distinctions and organize ideas.

HYPOTHESIS - a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of

limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS - the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is

contrary to the null hypothesis.

NULL HYPOTHESIS - he hypothesis that there is no significant difference

between specified populations, any observed difference
being due to sampling or experimental error.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES - the results sought by the researcher at the end of the
research process.

CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION - tells what your constructs are by explaining how they
are related to other constructs.

RESEARCH PROBLEM - a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be

improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling
question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory,
or in practice that points to the need for meaningful
understanding and deliberate investigation.

OPERATIONAL DEFINITION - the articulation of operationalization used in

defining the terms of a process needed to determine
the nature of an item or phenomenon and its
properties such as duration, quantity, extension in
space, chemical composition, etc.

MEASURABLE - something that can be quantified.

SPECIFIC - having a special application, bearing, or reference.

RELIABLE - is the degree to which research method produces stable and

consistent results.
ACHIEVABLE - one that is possible to achieve or can be done.
OPERATIONAL - ability to be processed and to work fully.

INNOVATIVE - refers to changing processes or creating more effective

processes, products and ideas.

COST-EFFECTIVE - being effective without wasting time or effort or expense

INTERESTING - engaging or exciting and holding the attention or curiosity

THEORETICAL - concerned with or involving the theory of a subject or area of

study rather than its practical application.

CONCEPTUAL - related to ideas and concepts formed in the mind

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY - the scope defines the problem or subject
that a researcher plans to study while limitations are factors
that the researcher encounters that inadvertently narrow the
scope of the study.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY - determine who benefits from the study and how that
specific audience will benefit from its findings.

FORTE OF THE PAPER -

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THESIS AND DISSERTATION - personal opinion of the

researcher regarding what else to do with the
collected data to support.

CONCLUSION FOR THESIS AND DISSERTATION - the results of the experimentation

and processes done that was recorded in the
research.
