Assignment TWO Name: Matric Number 1. Match the description on the left with the research approach (be it Quantitative or Qualitative) Description Quantitative or Qualitative 1. When doing this research, we assume there is only one reality, and reality is measured using a standard criteria; how reality is measured is objectively determined. 2. The reason for collecting and analyzing data is to test hypothesis. 3. Process of doing research is heuristic; trial and error. Steps are repeated until we reach a state of saturation where the researchers believe that if new data is collected, nothing new can be learned from their efforts 4. When doing this type of research, concepts and constructs emerge directly from the data we collect. Research approach is by and large exploratory. 5. The usual reasoning approach used in this type of research is inductive. We gather data from specific instances and we induce a general theory. We move from specific to general. 6. We adopt an underpinning theory like Theory of Reasoned Action and use it to develop our theoretical framework and hypotheses. Variables are derived from literature. 7. We use statistical analysis to determine if our hypotheses can be considered true (by using empirical data we collect). 2. Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words. independent ontology unit of analysis qualitative intrinsic research design cause and effect quantitative theoretical framework dependent constructivists extrinsic Individuals are mostly influenced by factors comprising of temperament and personality-these come from within a person. People are also influenced by factors which consist of situational, social and physical elements Theories can be depicted and illustrated by variables and relationships between these variables. There are usually two types of relationships: _and correlations. c. Research is influenced by philosophy. The study of how we determine what is real, and whether something exist is known as If we were doing quantitative research, reality is determined objectively and by using a set of criteria to measure reality. d. variable, In a theory, the variable that is being Influenced Is known as the and the variable that influences is known as the variable. e. A believes that knowledge is created and built through life experiences, and what is real and how one sees the world is unique to each person. As the person live through his life, how they see the world and what they believe to be real and true evolves. f. Examples of research methods are experiments, quasi-experiments, descriptive and correlational. Examples of research are historical ethnography, grounded theory and phenomenology. $ when doing quantitative research, the phase after Literature Review is the phase called In this phase, we describe the hypotheses we would like to test. h. In the phase called we describe how we are to carry out our research. i. Variables are characteristics of These are the objects we compare to find what factors influence them to be different from one another. These objects of study can be individuals, dyads, groups, organizations, communities and countries. 3 Fill in the bubbles with the missing words.
