Module 1 Lecture Recording Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-01-26 03:43:10 UTC

Before I listened to the lecture, I believed that research was just simply to research. With this, a key takeaway from this lecture recording was that there’s two different types of research, basic research and applied research. I learned how basic research answers fundamental questions about behavior (the nature of it) and how applied research addresses issues that are practical problems and potential solutions. In addition, I learned how the goal of applied research is to solve real-world problems and that it's done by having research findings apply to real-world issues. This key takeaway informed me about an extraordinary type of research, applied research.

Question on Module 1

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-01-26 03:44:12 UTC

Has there been a situation where applied research hasn’t answered its research prompt since more and more questions kept forming in the research inquiry cycle?

Module 1 Lecture Summary

riannagarcia — 2023-01-26 18:37:15 UTC

While I was aware of just how important research is, this lecture video provided insight into just how often research truly is used in everyday situations, and just how significant the research studies are. For example, applied research is a way to solve real-world problems. This can be done by using the research inquiry cycle, which is when you make an observation, develop a question based on it, and perform a research study. From what I understood based on the lecture, applied research creates practical solutions for specific issues, making it different from other research methods.

Allison Maggs Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-26 19:35:09 UTC

Understanding research, how it is performed, and how to interpret results is important because it helps you to be able to read studies and not get lost in the technical jargon. I liked learning about the Research Inquiry Cycle of applied research. Even the word "cycle" in it shows how research is an ongoing process that may not have a simple solution or result.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-26 19:38:35 UTC

It was interesting to learn after the lecture that there are two types of research, basic and applied research. One takeaway from the lecture is how the goal of applied research is to solve practical problems and apply the findings to real-world problems by using the research inquiry cycle. Most importantly, I learned that we use research in our everyday- lives and it can help us to be better consumers.

Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-26 19:52:35 UTC

Research is good for basic research to help answer fundamental questions about the nature of a behavior and applied research addresses issues that are practical problems and potential solutions. Research describes behavior it can also help predict behavior and determine the causes of the behavior. Applied research can help in solving real world problems.This can be done by using the research inquiry cycle. This lecture taught me about deductive and inductive research is apart of applied research and can be used together to prove the conclusion of inductive research.

Question on Module 1

2023-01-26 20:03:33 UTC

How do you determine when to use basic research vs. applied research?

Estefani Canseco: Module 1 Lecture Recording Summary

2023-01-26 20:26:34 UTC

After watching the lecture on applied research methods and why research is important, it gave me a better understanding to how research is really based on and how it is performed. I also learned that there are two types of research which are basic research and applied research. Basic research is basically answering questions about behavior and the nature of it. As to applied research is addressing the problem and a potential solution to it. What was interesting to me as well was learning about the research inquiry cycle and the process of it. Another takeaway from this is learning about the deductive v. inductive research approach. In this inductive is building up to a theory starting from an observation and deductive is starting from a theory to going down to a confirmation as seen in the lecture.

Lilian Gomez Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-26 21:46:21 UTC

This lecture taught me that I use research in my every day life, which now seems less scary to think about. A takeaway from this lecture is the difference between deductive and inductive research, I think of it as a circle that goes on and on, each time we learn something new about the topic and when we want to prove it we learn another new thing. I guess this is how we get a lot of information on a certain topic through peer journals and research.

Halie White Module 1 Summary

2023-01-26 23:25:12 UTC

Watching this lecture made me realize that I use applied research so often in my everyday life. As a first time mom I am constantly looking deeply into reasearch before appling it to my own child. The research inquiry cycle is actually a process that I go through each time I want to look something up and I find it so helpful. The understanding that applied research is actully expanding research findings is something I want to keep with me, so I don't feel so crazy doing exstensive research on the best baby soap. The idea of inductive and deductive reasear is something I want to keep.

Rachel Jacobs Module 1 Summary

2023-01-27 01:54:34 UTC

While I have always done research in my everyday life such as researching hotels for my honeymoon or researching different activities to do in the summer, the term " applied research" tends to make me anxious because it sounds like a very complicated scientific term. Listening to this lecture made me realize that it does not need to be complicated as it is basically identifying a problem, studying that problem, and then finding a solution. I think it is interesting to see research as a cycle and not a straight line because one problem does not always end with one solution but rather it can literally go in circles with more questions coming up after each conclusion. This is most likely why a researcher could spend years on one research study because they are constantly going back around the cycle with a new question. My key takeaway is that this research cycle, these constant questions, and circles, are what help us make the best informed decisions which is why applied research is so important and beneficial to nearly every field and our everyday lives.

Jessica Ledezma: Lecture Recording Summary

2023-01-27 02:32:15 UTC

One of the key takeaways that I learned from this lecture is the difference between deductive and inductive research approaches. As seen in the image deductive is more of a waterfall as we are focusing on developing the theory by going from theory to hypothesis, to then observing, to see the final results. While inductive it is like climbing a hill since we start with observations and we notice patterns that would then lead us to our hypothesis and finally our theory. Even though these two are completely different they are the main ways in which we approach research. Research is important because it helps us see and understand patterns within behaviors that are being observed In order to come to a conclusion. All in all, I learned that research is extremely important because we observe and try to understand things within our everyday lives consistently. For example, what the professor stated when we're trying to figure out what is wrong with our car.

Alyssa Ortiz: Module 1 Summary

2023-01-27 03:36:31 UTC

One of the key takeaways from this module was how common researching is, we unknowingly engage in researching probably every day because of how accessible it is to us. Applied research is being able to gather information and apply it to real world situations. I work in ABA and engage in applied research daily when implementing new strategies based on information that was gathered during observational research and passed data on the students.

The lecture taught me that we engage in research everyday as we are engaging and investigations through out. I found out what research is and how behavior can be measured in research methods. Also learned about how deductive v. inductive research method.

2023-01-27 06:53:43 UTC

Emily Belcher: Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-27 18:25:00 UTC

This lecture helped me to realize that we do a lot more research a daily basis than I think we recognize. I really related to the media example. There are many times that I will read an article or just a headline and I start to question the validity of the statement, so I research and look further into the information to learn more about the subject before deciding what I think about it. I think having knowledge of research methods is a good idea in the child development field because there is so much that we can learn from children we need ways to organize all of this information and be able to find the answers we need.

Marlene Quijada: Module 1

t8m4mgmshx — 2023-01-27 19:54:33 UTC

In this unit we looked at Introduction to Applied Research Methods. We first took a look into what kind of research there is and what they mean. For example, basic research answers fundamental questions about the nature of behavior and applied research addresses issues that are practical problems and potential solutions. Along with learning the benefits to research, what is it, and when it can be applied. Research is describing behavior, predicting behavior, determining the causes of behavior, and understanding/explaining behavior. Being able to ask what is causing that behavior and how do we change it to benefit from it. We took a look into the research inquiry cycle to better understand the steps to answering research questions. Lastly, we looked at the deductive v. inductive research approach and when it would be best to use one research approach v. the other.

Cristina Serrato: Module 1 Summary

2023-01-27 21:28:45 UTC

Throughout this lecture, we were introduced to different applied research methods. I did not realize how much research we do in our everyday lives and how much we can learn from it. A main takeaway from this lecture for me was how research can be considered an ongoing cycle and how beneficial it can be in my desired career. Research was described as observing, predicting, determining and understanding the cause of behavior. This is important for future/desired careers with children because it is crucial to apply this type of research into the behaviors of children.

Stephanie Paredes: Intro to Applied Research Methods

2023-01-27 23:48:32 UTC

In this lecture, we were introduced to the basics of what applied research methods are. I learned that applied research is unique in its goal. Applied Research's goal is to solve real-life problems. When we are researching a topic or occurrences we do the following: Describe behaviors, predict behaviors, determine the causes and try to understand or explain those behaviors based on the steps before. It's true what the professor brought up, we do research everyday without even realizing it. If there's a question we have, we look it up. For example, if there was an earthquake, the first thing I do is go online and see if anyone else experienced it the same way I did. Then I keep reading to find out where the epicenter was. It may not seem like it in the moment but that is doing research.

Kylie Thomas Module 1 Summary

2023-01-28 00:03:18 UTC

The lecture is the start of applied research and the different types of research methods. While listening to the lecture we use different research methods within our daily lives of basic and applied research based on passed experiences. Research is very important for the field of Child Development to enhance thinking and overall knowldege within this field. Through our research we are open to how and what research is and that is to describe which is by observing, prdict beharvior, determine a cause of a behavior of why something might be happening. The research is the over goal is to solve a problem in the real world which will apply to real world problems and issues.

Shyanne Thomas Module 1 Takeaway

2023-01-28 01:09:52 UTC

Module 1 lecture taught me that we do research daily, little things we look up throughout the day. Also that research and applied research are different. We can research things just to gain knowledge like maybe look up ingredients for a recipe versus applied research where we are taking real world issues and finding solutions that can make a real impact. I also learned the different uses for research methods like treatment options or the effectiveness of certain programs. Overall we have a research inquiry cycle to help guide us in the process of researching a certain question and getting to a real solution. Lastly, learning about Inductive and deductive research approach was interesting because with inductive you create a theory and with deductive you start with a theory so I think of it as going up and down a set of stairs. I think that applied research and research can both be helpful.

Gabriela Diego Module 1 lecture summary

2023-01-28 05:26:11 UTC

One takeaway that I would like to remember is that there is basic research regarding to the nature of behaviors and applied research that addresses specific topics that are practical and that have possible solutions. I had never thought of research like this so now when I have a research question about something I can differentiate between what I think is basic or applied research. A big benefit that I find important in doing research and why it is beneficial is the critical thinking skills one obtains as this will enhance your form of judgement and the more research you do the better you get at knowing what is good/bad research, and of course the content knowledge you gain while reading research. My second takeaway is knowing about deductive v. inductive research. From my understanding, deductive tests the theory first then a hypothesis is formed along with a conclusion and confirmation. Inductive research starts with an observation that leads to a pattern then hypothesis and theory form. After this lecture, I found out that I usually lean toward inductive research because in my field of education I am always observing so I find myself gravitating towards inductive.

Module 1 Lecture Summary

007960752 — 2023-01-28 07:54:20 UTC

This lecture taught me that applied research is used to solve real-world problems. It can be used to adapt teaching strategies, help create and change public policies, and evaluate program effectiveness. I learned that an inductive research approach is developing a theory; what patterns are we seeing? This will lead to a hypothesis and theory. Whereas a deductive research approach starts with a theory which will then be tested.

Joanna Contreras Module 1 Lecture Recording Summary

2023-01-28 19:15:44 UTC

During the beginning slides I was somewhat confused with how to define basic research and applied research as it seemed to have similar connotations, but as I progressed I realized applied research emphasizes more on how to solve the issues than just examining the issue and why it happens. I also feel both are needed in order to produce results for issues we currently have in society as well. Having intense patterns that need to be used in order to fulfill the answer to a problem emphasizes the importance of using applied research and basic research in order to find answers that involve the care of children.

Valerie Perez Module 1 Summary

2023-01-28 20:02:21 UTC

This module is an opening for the rest of the semester. I appreciate the way professor Brar applies research to our everyday lives, such as how to get a baby to stop crying. Applied research is real world problems rather than just research just to conduct theories. The main aspect of research is to gain understanding.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-01-28 20:38:43 UTC

This first lecture was a good introduction on what research is good for, the benefits of research, what it is, and what kinds research there are. This will better our understanding for future lecture when we get more into depth. I learned that there are 2 kinds of research, applied and basic research.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-01-28 20:41:01 UTC

How do we know which type of research to use depending on the situation?

Are there any other types of research that can be used?

Diana Olivares: Module 1 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-01-29 00:03:48 UTC

In this lecture we touched upon the different types of applied research methods. One takeaway is that there are many reasons as to why we use research, including in our daily living. It is through research that theories are tested, observation occurs, and where we can both predict and determine the causes of a behavior. I learned that there is both a deductive and inductive research approach, where one focuses on developing a theory and the other begins with a theory.

Jesus Leon : Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-29 00:57:28 UTC

In this lecture it talked about what research is good for and how it can benefit us. There are two types of research basic research which is answering questions about the nature of behavior. Then there is applied research which address issues that are practical problems with potential solutions. This has a benefit for us which helps us get informed and to improve critical thinking.

Yessenia Rubio Module 1

2023-01-29 01:51:32 UTC

In this lectured I learned why research was important and the different types of research. Research can be implicated in anything in life, especially common life situations. Applied research is what is used when researching real-world problems. Deductive research and inductive research have similarities in studies. There is one thing that differences the two and it is that inductive's theory can not be proven but it can be invalidated. Deductive's theory is true and the terms are clear.

Desi Perez

2023-01-29 02:16:04 UTC

From this lecture, I learned the different stages of the research inquiry cycle - notice a problem in your work, develop a question based on your observation, go to existing literature to understand why this might be, refine your research question, design a research study to collect data, and finally analyze that data to form a conclusion. I am very excited to better my understanding of the scientific process and enhance my critical thinking.

Fabiola Vasquez

2023-01-29 02:42:42 UTC

From this week's lecture I learned what applied research is and how it is different from basic research. Applied research tends to be about solving real world problems going on currently and trying to come up with solutions. I also learned more about the research inquiry cycle and how this can help us from developing a questions to eventually finding a solution to our research question. I also learned the differences between deductive and inductive research and how the difference between them is that in deductive theory we go from general observations to specific conclusions. In inductive theory, we go from specific to general conclusions.

M1 Summary

006862486 — 2023-01-29 02:56:02 UTC

After watching the lecture I learned the difference between basic research and applied research. I find myself applying research in my every day life. I thought that applied research will be more complicated but after the lecture it has made me realized that I usually do it on a daily basis especially at work in a school setting. The lecture also talked about inductive and deductive research. Deductive is explained as a "waterfall" and inductive is described as "hill climbing".

M1 Summary

008024283 — 2023-01-29 03:16:41 UTC

The first lecture was a great introductions to research and how we achieve researching real life problems. We are constantly doing research, there are two different types of research methods, basic and applied. Research has many benefits and how it can improve our lives and jobs for the future. The research inquiry cycle is a cycle to help us work through the issue we are trying to further differ. Deductive is starting with theory and trying to further dive into it and Inductive research is developing a theory approach.

Karen Olmos: Module 1 Summary

2023-01-29 03:32:57 UTC

In this lecture I learned what research can be used for including learning about applied and basic research. Research is done a lot more then we thinks as there are times we have to research what phone works better or what car brand is better for bumpy dirt roads. As I learn this it really opened my eyes into how research can benefit you and help you understand something.

Luz Iribe

2023-01-29 04:05:24 UTC

Through this lecture, I realized that I use research on a daily basis throughout my day. It surprises me that we use it daily without truly thinking about it. I learned from this lecture that research is used to describe, predict and determine the cause of a behavior. An example of daily research, noticing something simple like a sound coming from your car. We then question what it is, causing us to look into a similar topic that may help us find a solution. I really enjoyed this lecture and found my self reflecting on things I already knew.

Valeria Molina: Module 1

2023-01-29 05:38:09 UTC

After watching the first lecture on research, my key takeaways were the research inquiry cycle and the differences of basic and applied research. The research inquiry cycle is how research is fully done when making observations and creating hypotheses to apply a study on it. The biggest difference between basic and applied research would be the way they use the research, basic research is used to gain more knowledge scientifically in a field of study where as applied research is trying to conduct studies to help with real world problems.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-29 06:09:17 UTC

This lecture was interesting to me because of all the different ways I learned research can be used. I have never really thought about the broad-term research in depth before today. I learned the difference between basic research and applied research. Basic research answers fundamental questions about the nature of behavior, whereas, applied research addresses issues that are practical problems and potential solutions. Lastly, my big takeaway from this lecture is the research inquiry cycle which includes stages that help us answer particular research questions.

Monsserrath Virgen: Module 1 Summary

2023-01-29 06:26:35 UTC

This lecture was fascinating to me for many reasons. The concept of "Applied Research Methods" was something that I did not know about within research. Throughout my education I knew that research was looking for answers to a question that a person may encounter. However, I did not know that there is different kinds of research as well as the difference between basic research and applied research. Although research in itself can personally seem overwhelming, I have had questions that require applied research that would help me address issues that can help with problem solving. It made me realize that this in fact is a subject that I am more curious to learn more about because I want to be able to share the knowledge that I know and be able to help others in spreading awareness. Learning that this class can help me achieve this goal is something that I look forward to.

Mod. 1 question

2023-01-29 06:32:10 UTC

How do we determine what type of research is best to use? Does it depend on what exactly we are trying to prove or disprove?

Question on Module 1

2023-01-29 06:32:32 UTC

In the lecture the example that is used within the research inquiry cycle discussed the observation that was made, "Children on the playground play with children who are the same gender as themselves." An observation like the one I have made, "Why are Black, Indigenous, Children of Color less likely to reach higher education in comparison to their white peers?" Would this research question be too broad to be able to use the inquiry cycle as their are many answers to this question for instance some may see that it has to do with leaving in lower income communities as well as the level of education that a parent of color may have.

Sarah Baltazar-Mod. 1 summary

2023-01-29 06:39:54 UTC

What I learned from this lecture was That without even knowing we use research on a daily basis. That is something that I will not forget. With deductive research it can be used for testing theories and or start with one. On the other hand, inductive research focuses on developing a theory.

Module 1

2023-01-29 06:42:59 UTC

After reviewing the first module 1, I can say that I am well aware of the different types of research that will be conducted for this class and how to fully research. I like how the professor mentioned that research is used on a daily basis. If I ever have a question I simply research it and find a solution to it. Not knowing fully what this class was intended for, I did think it would be harder and more challenging. Yet I found it more acceptable and know where I can find and how to use research effectively. I look forward to learning more about the research inquiry cycle!

Maria Rojas Module 1 Lecture Summary

2023-01-29 07:48:53 UTC

After reviewing this weeks lecture module. I found so many things interesting. I fit not realize how important research was in our daily lives and how often we use it. I find myself constantly looking up questions and researching the data and answers on a daily basis. I did find interesting how applied research differs from the basic research. Applied research not only addresses real world issues, but can help enhance our critical thinking and how we need to solve and workout a behavior or problem. My biggest takeaway from this module was the research inquiry cycle and how there are stages to it. It is really fascinating to know we go through different stages to find out answers we are looking for. I look forward to continuing my learning from these modules!

Module 1:

2023-01-29 07:58:22 UTC

Something I've never realized before watching this weeks lecture was how often we are researching. I never would have thought something as simple as how much ingredients go in a recipe falls under research . Before this lecture I thought research only had to do with experiments. As for applied research, I learned that the difference is it is used to solve real world issues.

Ana M. Module 1

2023-01-29 23:53:59 UTC

After listening to the lecture, I have gained a better understanding of the material going through this semester. I have previous knowledge of the scientific inquiry and can appreciate how research methods would help me in my career. I am curious about children behavior and early signs of children’s struggles and can see how applied research of the matter can be beneficial. The difference between the deductive and inductive approaches on research is still confusing, an example or revisit to the topic would be appreciated. I look forward to more information on applied research on real life situations and our next topic the language of research.

2023-01-30 04:29:21 UTC

Applied research is something that we use every single day that it is a process but can also cause problems. It helps with examples and understanding why it happens. There is also questions that may or may not be answered through the process.

2023-01-30 04:30:45 UTC

When is it the right time to use research that can help with good results?

Jasmin Garcia Research describes behavior, predicts behavior, determines the cause, and understands the behavior. The types of research are applied research which includes studies that are conducted to solve real-world problems and basic research that answered fundamental questions about nature. Indirect research focuses on developing a theory and deductive research starts with the theory and I can not conduct it without a theory.

2023-01-30 05:42:20 UTC

After I listen to the lecture, I learned that applied research is something we use all day. I never really thought about it in the way Dr.Manpreet Dhillon Brar did. we ask questions to get a better understanding of what we are researching by gathering information and asking questions we can apply this when observing children.

2023-01-30 07:28:45 UTC

Sasha Gomez: Module 1 Summary

2023-01-30 21:13:44 UTC

After viewing the lecture, it gave me a better understanding on how the material is going to be set up in the class. Something I found interesting is how good research is and how it benefits us. It's good that we know how to gain knowledge by doing our own research. When we have a question we tend to search it up so that we know what is right and wrong. The lecture was interesting because it shows us how we benefit from applying research and we go through different stages on how to find answers.

After reviewing the video I was able to figure out a better understanding of this course. In the video we learn about research and what it means. Something that I got a more idea of is how behavior is very much connected to research. Something that I learned was the difference between research and applied research in summary I learned that research is something that we do everyday from questioning and observing while applied research is from real world problems.

Destiny Marin Jimenez Module 2 summary

2023-01-31 05:41:58 UTC

What i learned in this module is how not only there is an independent and dependent variable in research, but also a control variable which are other factors that can help find a conclusion to the research question. Also, i learned the differences between quantitative and qualitative data, its drawbacks and benefits, which can help me decide what type of data i'd need for my future research.

Module 1 summary

2023-01-31 06:03:10 UTC

In the lecture I learned about what applied research is and what it can be used for. I have come across the term applied research before but during this lecture I got a better understanding of what it means and what it is used for. I learned that it is used to solve real- world problems and also requires further extending research findings.

2023-01-31 06:07:09 UTC

Can we find the same findings from doing both basic research and applied research?

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-01-31 06:45:14 UTC

I learned that we use research in our daily lives and applied research helps us to solve real world problems. I learned that there is a difference between basic research and applied research and I had know idea there was a difference before. Research gives up a better understanding of technical skills that can help me with the field I am going for which is child development. We use research to describe and predict research as well as understand the behavior.

2023-01-31 19:08:21 UTC

In this lecture I understood more about the usefulness of research methods. I learned what research is used for even though my previous knowledge of research was different . It is used to solve problem, problems that include both real life and technological problems. There is basic research and applied research which are different from one another. These two method give us better understanding of what we are learning.

Katia Garcia : Module 1 Summary

2023-01-31 23:34:58 UTC

When thinking about research, not always does the work behind the facts come to mind. Through the introductory slides for this class, I grasped a better knowledge of research as an action. Applied research is what we read about and try to understand in our classes because we always learn about solutions and data that has been put in text as factual. Through applied research we enhance our knowledge and our problem solving skills to enhance research progress. Looking at research from various points of views can lead to very repetitive information, but the views will continue to expand, like explained for research inquiry.

Module 1

2023-01-31 23:49:09 UTC

Celeste A
In this module I learned the various steps it takes to solve research. I learned the difference of research and applied research I found it very interesting. Learning to develop a research question is the base of finding conclusions and answers for your research questions.

Module 2

2023-02-01 00:13:41 UTC

Celeste Alcantar
In this lecture I learned the characteristics of basic vs. applied research. The purpose of a basic research is to advance knowledge. I also learned about the research knowledge bases words theoretical, empirical, nomothetic, and probabilistic. I learned that knowing variables helps a lot in research.

Brenda Popoca

2023-02-01 02:21:18 UTC

We use research in our lives on a daily basis. It helps us to solve real world problems. Applied research really addresses problems and how to solve them. The research inquiry cycle has five stages. The first is identifying the problem, second is reviewing the data we already have, third coming up with a research design we will use, fourth is gathering data and analyze and lastly is interpreting that information and using it to make decisions and policies. The conclusion is that research is a big part in our future careers.

Module 2 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-02-02 02:18:48 UTC

Before getting into the elements of research, I liked how we refreshed ourselves on the topic of applied research as I was reminded that this type of research is trying to solve a problem and its goal is to come up with the best solution for that real-world problem. Aside from this, I learned that in order to make sure that research is objective, researchers use the scientific method. The scientific method builds a foundation for how information is collected. With this, I learned how the independent variable is manipulated, the dependent variable is the measured effect, and the control variable is the confounding factor. In addition to research, I better understood the two different types of data, quantitative and qualitative, as quantitative is interested in larger data sets that are representative of a larger population while qualitative is interested in the experiences of their participants in their own words.

Question on Module 2

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-02-02 02:19:40 UTC

What are some examples of a control variable?

Module 2 Lecture Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-02-02 02:56:27 UTC

Something I really appreciated in this lecture was going over the different types of variables. No matter how many science or statistic courses I take, I've always had difficulty remembering the difference between an independent variable and the dependent variable in a study. Hopefully the refresher from this week will finally solidify it in my mind. The independent variable is the variable being manipulated by the researchers, and the dependent variable is the variable being measured. An example of this would be: does caffeine positively impact student scores on a test? In this case, the amount of caffeine consumed by students would be the independent variable, and the test scores would be the dependent variable.

Halie White Module 2 summary

2023-02-02 07:15:04 UTC

Research is something that we use on an everyday basis and it is never ending. Even if we follow and finish the research process, there can still be more questions after a conclusion is given. There are different approaches when asking questions that results in different research answers. Qualitative is personal experiences or observations. Where as quantitative is more data focused and broad.

Tiffanee Roberts: Module 1

2023-02-02 18:40:16 UTC

As for myself, I am doing research everyday whether it’s personal, for work, or for school. Applied research is the most beneficial for me when it comes to child development because the research I find I could actually use at work or in my personal life. A concept from the video that stood out was inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning’s main focus is creating a theory, where deductive reasoning starts with a theory.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 2 Summary

2023-02-02 23:26:05 UTC

One takeaway from the module 2 lecture is the explanation of the independent variable which is a thing that the researchers have control over and can manipulate. Also, how the dependent variable is the measured effect and the control variable is the confounding factor. Another thing I learned from the lecture is the 2 types of data used, quantitative and qualitative. Knowing the difference between the two can help answer my research question correctly.

Cynthia Tarazon Module 2 Summary

2023-02-02 23:59:11 UTC

Something I learned from this lecture were the different kinds of variables used in research. Such as, independent and dependent variables. Independent variables are what researchers are able to manipulate and as for the dependent variable it is what gets measured. I also got a better understanding of quantitive and qualitative. Qualitative relies on personal accounts or documents that show how people think or respond in their own way. Quantitive relies more on numerical or measurable data.

Module 2 Lecture Summary

riannagarcia — 2023-02-03 01:31:43 UTC

While I recall learning about the different variables in the past, the lecture helped clarify the difference between them. I have always struggled with differentiating the two - independent and dependent - so now I feel far more confident with doing so. The independent variable is the cause, making its value independent of other variables in a study. Whereas, the dependent variable is the effect, making its value dependent on changes in the independent variable. If you were to perform a study that determines if the amount of sleep a student gets affects their test scores, the independent variable is the number of hours they slept while the dependent variable is the score they receive on a test. Being able to differentiate the difference between the two variables is an essential factor within a research study.

Gabriela Diego Module 2 lecture summary

2023-02-03 04:38:37 UTC

In this weeks lecture I understand the language of research better. By that I mean in terms of the research inquiry process, types of RQ's, variables, hypothesis, and types of data. An interesting takeaway that I try not to confuse myself with are the confounding variables which is knowing the difference between the independent variable and dependent variable. The IV is the thing we are manipulating and something that the researcher has control over and the DV is the thing that is getting effected by the IV. The control variable is everything else that controls the IV and DV. My next takeaway is knowing that there are two broad research approaches (quantitative and qualitative) that depends on the type of question that is inquired of. Lastly, instead of thinking that research has a finale point, we should look at it as a cycle that leads to more curiosity and peer reviewed research meet the reliability and validity of the research one may do.

Jessica Ledezma - Module 2 Summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-02-03 05:18:48 UTC

One of the key takeaways that I learned from this lecture is the five general steps of the scientific method. Any ideas based on theories, past research and lectures, experiences, and even observations can be used to do research. Even after the five steps have been completed, a cycle with further research questions may arise as this is an ongoing process. However, in order to do a research study and use the scientific methods we must find a testable question. In order to know if your question is testable there must be a testable hypothesis that can arise from it. When conducting this study, you may either prove or disprove the hypothesis being examined. Finally, scientific methods are important because it establishes the foundation for how information is gathered, measured, analyzed, and assessed.

Jesus Leon: Module 2 Lecture Summary

2023-02-03 20:30:17 UTC

In this week module I learn that it is not just independent variables and dependent variables. I learn that there are control variables too, which have cofounding factors which also help in finding research conclusion. Apart from that, the independent variable is the manipulated variable and the dependent variable is the measured effect. I also learned about Quantitative and Qualitative data. In quantitative data, it is usually a large number of participants being asked open ended questionnaires or surveys. In qualitative data, you are interviewing groups or observations and it is usually people or children describing their own experiences.

Rachel Jacobs Lecture Module 2 Summary

2023-02-03 21:29:20 UTC

For this module, I felt that a lot of the information was review for me because I am learning some of the same terms in a few of my other classes. I got to review independent variables which is the thing that the researcher is changing in a study in order to figure out how it affects the dependent variable which is the thing that is being measured in a study. I also got to review the difference between qualitative and quantitative approaches. In qualitative, we want to focus on the experiences of our participants compared to quantitative which focuses more on patterns and larger data sets. The main idea I took away from this module is how important the scientific method is when doing research because it guides us to finding objective information through examination which makes the information a lot more reliable than any information we come up with subjectively through our own beliefs and biases.

Cynthia Tarazon Module 1

2023-02-03 21:51:20 UTC

In this lecture I learned the different applied research methods. Applied research methods overall goal is to solve problems that happen in actual real life time. I didn't realize how much research is actually done on a day to day basis.

Stephanie Hernandez Module 1

2023-02-03 22:48:28 UTC

In this weeks lecture I discovered there is different styles of research. For instance, basic research and applied research. I never knew or thought about the difference between different research methods. I found it very interesting! I also learned through research we can learn so many new ways to make a difference in our society. Research helps describe a behavior, predict one, determine the cause of it, and will further our understanding of the behavior. I'm really looking forward to gaining knowledge from this class!

Stephanie Hernandez Module 2

2023-02-04 01:16:34 UTC

This weeks module was very informative. I discovered there are 3 confounding variables. The independent variable is the thing the research is manipulating and has complete control to change to see how it will change/effect the dependent variable. Lastly, the control variable is the variable that has control over both the independent and dependable variable. Another thing that stood out to me this week was how the scientific method plays a huge role in how data is collected, examined, and evaluated.

2023-02-04 01:17:33 UTC

Can we get more examples on independent, dependent, and control variables?

How do you determine the best method to use when researching? Is there more than one way to do this?

2023-02-04 01:17:53 UTC

Alexa Hernandez: Module 2 Lecture Summary

2023-02-04 06:02:02 UTC

This lecture was interesting to me because I learned more about the research process and the scientific method. I learned that there are five general steps which are, developing a RQ, designing a study, carrying out the study, analyzing the findings, and making conclusions. I also learned that there are confounding variables which are alternative explanations for the relationship between the IV and the DV. Lastly, I discovered the research terms reliability and validity. Where reliability is the extent to which the outcomes are consistent when the experiment is repeated multiple times and validity is the extent to which instruments that are used in the experiment measure exactly what you want them to measure.

Cristina Serrato: Module 2 Lecture Summary

2023-02-04 06:49:57 UTC

For this week's module, I learned about the scientific method and how it includes a step by step process for a research study. A takeaway from learning about the scientific method is that research can start with personal experiences and observations, a theory and of course pervious research. More specifically, I gained more knowledge about independent and dependent variables. I usually get confused by the two but after this lecture I was able to understand them more clearly. I also understood the difference between quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data would be used in formats of questionnaires and surveys, while qualitative is suggesting interviews and observations.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 2

2023-02-04 08:41:46 UTC

This week I got to learn more about the research inquiry process and scientific method. Research begins with asking a question, learning more about what is known about the question, plan a design to collect data, gather and analyze data and then make a conclusion. Each step is important in not just helping you to answer your question but to help modify and specify the research question. I also learned more about the variables in research. Such as independent and dependent variables. The difference being that the independent variable is the manipulated and dependent variable is the measured effect. The main takeaway I took from this weeks lesson is that research process is a cycle. You can start the process over again because research is an ongoing process and conclusions often lead to more questions.

Valeria Molina Module 2 Summary

2023-02-04 23:15:28 UTC

During this week's lecture, I got to refresh my memory on the research inquiry process and what is done in preparation for a study. I also learned about the scientific method and how to properly test and observe a hypothesis. I liked how we went over in detail the idea of qualitative and quantitative methods. Now I know that qualitative methods use more research with meanings and looking at different types of real world experiences, while quantitative methods use numbers and variables to understand data. There are three different types of variables: the independent variable that is changed, the dependent variable that is measured and affected by the change, and the controlled variable that is constant and remains unchanged.

Diana Olivares: Module 2 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-02-04 23:45:59 UTC

In this week's module I learned about the scientific method along with the research process and language. The scientific method is the process and foundation for how information is gathered, measured, looked at, and evaluated. Research often begins with ideas derived from theories, observations, and previous research. There are also variables in research such as the IV that is varied or manipulated by the researcher and the DV that is the measured effect. A takeaway is that the goal of research is to gather both valid and reliable information and knowledge through the use of scientific methods and designs.

Isabel Chavez : Module 2 Summary

2023-02-05 00:45:12 UTC

In this week's module I learned a lot of new and very interesting information. I first learned about the basic and applied research. This was really important because I learned that the basic research is more to know more information while applied research helps make decisions on a specific problem. This was very interesting because now I am able to understand how both of these research are used and why. I also learned the steps on a research inquiry process and I got a refresher on the scientific method. The research inquiry process is a more in-depth process and one thing I don't want to forget are the steps the research happens in. Which is first identity the problem, review existing literature, plan research design, gather and analyze data, and interpret and share. These steps are very important to remember because they will be key in later on assignments. I also learned the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable. I am able to identify now that an independent variable is manipulated while a dependent variable is what is being measured.

Claudia Alejandre

2023-02-05 00:55:33 UTC

How do we determine which is the control variable?

Isabel Chavez : Module 1 Summary

2023-02-05 01:31:34 UTC

During this week lecture I was able to identify what benefits research gave us. I thought this was interesting because even though I have had a couple different research topics in my classes I always thought the benefits for myself was to learn more and be able to explain. Yet their is so many other benefits and I believe it's good to know because it started to make me more interested in the topic. I also learned what this class has to offer and the in-depth definition of research. I also was able to find some helpful videos to be able to use them as resources later on the course. Overall, this week's module has me very excited to see what I will be learning next.

Vanessa Barragan Module 1 Summary

2023-02-05 02:23:45 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned that every day we do research even if we do not notice. I did not know about the differences between basic research and applied research. Basic research answers questions about the nature of behavior. Applied research addresses the issues that are practical problems. The examples listed in the lecture helps me get a better understanding of the differences between each. I also found it interesting that doing research will help us gain knowledge and help with our thinking skills.

Vanessa Barragan Mod 2 Summary

2023-02-05 02:53:28 UTC

In this week's module, I learned more about the scientific method search. I got to learn more about the 5 general steps when it comes to applying this method. I also learned that a scientific question is quite different from an ethical question we might have. I also got to refresh my memory about using a hypothesis. Lastly, I did not know anything about the types of data such as qualitative and quantitative approaches so this is definitely something I am going to keep in mind during this course.

Shyanne Thomas Lecture 2 summary

2023-02-05 03:36:42 UTC

This weeks lecture was more detailed about different terms used in research and what they mean. i learned about the process of the scientific method, and also different types of research like quantitative and qualitative. Also i learned that the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable and the independent variable can be manipulated by the researcher. Lastly i learned the journal article format and what to look for when searching for articles to support my research question.

tiffanee909 — 2023-02-05 04:07:03 UTC

In the past, it has been a bit of a struggle finding the best research articles to use when doing a research paper or just looking at research in general. Creating a specific research topic with help to find the best and most detailed research information. The three factors that support a research topic are the independent variable, dependent variable, and control variable.

Luz Iribe Perez

2023-02-05 04:37:48 UTC

I really enjoyed going through this weeks lecture. Research is very important for our world and helps us find out about it. We can search up any idea or question we may have. I liked how we went over the scientific method and how the 5 steps are were explained. I learned about a testable hypothesis and different variable in research that are very important. The two variable are independent and dependent variables. I learned that the independent variable is the one being manipulated meanwhile the dependent is the measured effect.

Module 2 Lecture

2023-02-05 04:47:56 UTC

For this week's module, understanding what is a good research question is key to an academically good research. When there is a good research question, the following is where the learning begins. Scientific Method, what we know since the third grade comes into play. Collecting data, analyzing, going back to data already collected is all part of the answer to the good research question. Figuring out what variables are the controlled and what can be manipulated in order to discover new findings. Separating quantitative information from qualitative information in order for reliable findings.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-02-05 04:53:24 UTC

This week I learned that there is There is many different steps when it comes to research. I learned that we use research with our everyday lives. I learned that causal research is spelled differentially than the word casual and has a different meaning. It means to determine whether one or more variables causes or affects one or more outcome variables. I also didn't even know what a Time Series was, and it means how many waves of measurement over time. I learned that we use research all the time with education. We create efficient lesson plans as well as do many observations. Which we analyze and reflect to understand the reasons for that child’s behavior and actions. Which we end up using all the steps during the Research Inquiry Process.

Cristyan Macias Module 2 This week from the lecture I had a refresh on the scientific theory. I am aware that using the scientific theory is very important when it comes to research since we need to follow the steps. Also I was able to get a better understanding of the basic and applied research in a real life scenario. I liked going over the different types of research as a student I see a lot more quantitive research as it comes to surveys. And we can see them as a "what" for qualitative and a "why" for quantitative.

Desi P.

2023-02-06 03:29:01 UTC

What I found interesting about this lecture or the most helpful for me personally, was the difference between the independent variable and dependent variables. I would always confuse these two. What helped was the video example of "Effects of a thermostat on room temperature". The independent variable is what you or nature manipulate. The dependent variable is what is affected by the independent variable.

Sasha Gomez: Module 2 Summary

2023-02-06 04:22:36 UTC

After viewing the lecture, it gave me an understanding on how to apply basic vs. applied research. It is interesting to see how the research inquiry process is. It gave me an understanding of each process. Another thing that caught my eye is the scientific method. The five general steps helps us understand collect our data. I really enjoyed this week's lecture because it shows us how important research is and how it will help us.

Brenda Bravo mod.2

brendabravo25 — 2023-02-06 04:55:34 UTC

How do I know which will be the dependent and independent variable. Will we get more examples of this?

Brenda Bravo Mod.2 Summary

brendabravo25 — 2023-02-06 05:06:40 UTC

In this week's module I learned When doing research, we need to make sure that the studies we are doing are valid. Also, when we do good research, we are able to answer questions, versus when we don't do good research, we might not answer our questions and may be bias. I learned the characteristics of basic research versus applies research.

How do you know when to use basic research and applied research?

2023-02-07 06:44:21 UTC

Research gives a better understanding of skills that determine the development. Researching is used every single day which allows to see a difference. We learn from what has been discovered and what needs to continue to be discovered.

2023-02-07 06:47:27 UTC

what are examples of control variable?

007938262 — 2023-02-07 06:52:27 UTC

This week module, I was able to understand that studies are meant to see if there are any possibilities of changes. Ask as many questions as possible you have to see if they are answers. It is important to see the differences between the variables.

007938262 — 2023-02-07 06:56:05 UTC

This lecture was interesting to me because I got to learn more about research and the way we use it in our everyday life's. I learned a more in depth concept of basic vs. applied research. Some of their characteristics and purpose of their research. Also I got to know about the scientific method which there is five general steps to it. In order to make sure that research is objective researchers use the scientific method. Research first starts with ideas derived from observations, theory, or previous research. As well learning about the variables of independent and dependent variable. Overall this lecture was very interesting because I know that I will be able to use this in the future and look back at it.

Estefani Canseco: Module 2 Lecture Summary

2023-02-07 20:08:36 UTC

This lecture was interesting to me because I got to learn more in depth about what research really is and the type of data it involves. I learned about the characteristics and purpose of basic and applied research. With this I also learned about the scientific method which in order to make sure that research is objective researchers use the scientific method. There are five steps to it and they are developing a question, design a study, carry out study, analyze findings, and make conclusion. Also, research starts with ideas derived from observations, theory, or previous research. Lastly, I got to learn about the different variable which are independent and dependent. Overall this lecture was really informative and had interesting topics to learn about.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 3 Lecture Summary

2023-02-08 07:27:44 UTC

This lecture was interesting to me because I learned about literature searches and reviews. I learned that there are different types of literature reviews such as a lit review in a journal article and a lit review as a research methodology. I also learned that empirical means original research which is the type of research we need to search for. One other cool thing I learned is the "snowballing trick", which means that once you have found an article that answers your RQ you can review the reference section to find similar studies.

Halie White Module 3

2023-02-08 07:33:28 UTC

Something that I realized when I started college was that all the 'research' I previously did was unreliable. There is so much more than a simple google search when trying to find accurate information. Something from this lecture that I dont want to forget is the 'written by academics for academics'. This lecture shows the importance of reviewing existing work and familarizing yourself with a topic before doing a review. I also did not know that you can branch from one research journal and find other information from that topic through other sources. It is always helpful to learn more about how to use onesearch to get proper information.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 3

2023-02-08 16:43:21 UTC

This lecture was very helpful to me because not only did I learn the importance of reliable research but how to obtain it. I wish I had this knowledge prior to some of my other courses. I appreciate learning to write summaries of the articles. I think this is a great way to remember the information you found but also how you found it. Many times, I have found an article that I can use but am unable to find it again if I forget something. One takeaway from this lecture was learning that I can use the reference page of an article to find similar research on the subject.

Maria Rojas lecture 2 module summary

2023-02-08 17:08:44 UTC

This week on the module two lecture, I was able to understand better the confounding variables in research and the differences in independent, dependent, and control variables. I also learned some hypothesis that we can test and how to use the confusing variables properly. What also stuck out to me was the importance of journal artifacts and how we format these. I never knew how the format was and that we needed to add an abstract first followed by the intro, method, results, discussion, and finally references. It was helpful to design our own research inquiry process model to help memorize the steps.

Module 3 - Marianela Aguilar

008024283 — 2023-02-08 21:40:34 UTC

One thing that stood out from the handouts is that when doing literature reviews, journals are the best ones to use. Journals are also the easiest because they are more condensed and to the point to be able to provide the reader with alot of knowledge in a short time. The basic steps of the scientific method is observe, hypothesis, test, evidence, conclusion and repeat. The research inquiry process is identify problem, review existing work, plan research design, gather / analyze data, interpret and share. Literature reviews are very helpful, and the purpose of a literature review is to see what has been done and what needs to be done in that certain topic you are studying.

Module 3 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-02-08 22:08:27 UTC

In Module 3, I better understood what literature is from the explanation of it being a conversation between scholars over time, which helped me better understand its meaning. In addition to literature, I learned that an effective literature review fulfills three purposes; helps situate the work within the broader scholarly community, builds our credibility, and illustrates a gap in previous research. A literature review can also take many forms as it integrates others' perspectives/actions, criticizes previous research, builds connections between related topics, and identifies issues within the field. When focusing on literature review, scholarly work was continuously mentioned and, from the lecture video, I understood what was meant by this as scholarly work means empirical research that has been done. With this, a big takeaway from this module that I want to remember for years on is the “snowball trick” since I have never thought of reviewing the reference section from an article I found to find other similar studies.

Question on Module 3

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-02-08 22:09:48 UTC

What is the easiest way to research whether an author is an expert when reviewing the credibility of an article?

Alyssa Ortiz Module 2 Summary

2023-02-09 03:14:14 UTC

This week lectures expressed the importance of research. We conduct research on the daily, sometimes applied and sometimes basic research. When conducting research, we need to ensure that we are using credible sources. Refreshing my memory on independent vs dependent variables was also helpful.

Alyssa Ortiz Module 3

2023-02-09 03:21:33 UTC

This week's module was very informative and helpful for when I begin to research my area of topic. One cool takeaway for me was learning how we're able to use the information found in other articles to expand our own research on the topic. There seems to be a lot more than just a quick google entry when doing real research on a topic. Making sure that I'm using reliable sources and doing empirical research will assist me with getting the most accurate information and data.

Module 3

allykmaggs — 2023-02-09 03:32:39 UTC

The thing I most want to remember in a year from now is that there are actual databases that should be used when researching literature. Something else I found helpful to learn this week is that you can and should use key connecting words such as "and", "or", and "not" in database searches, because that will pull up articles that address all key aspects listed in you keyword search. This is interesting to me because Google works the opposite -- if you search using "and", it will pop up with articles that have "and" in it but not the other keywords, so it is less helpful compared to a proper database search. Another thing I didn't know before this lecture was that using synonyms or related words in your search can also be helpful. This is especially useful since different regions have their own dialect and different synonyms. For example, when searching for something related to "How many jackets does the average British person own", it would be important to note that "jumper" is the British term used for what Americans call "jacket". When researching about soda consumption, it would be useful to search for "pop", as that is used instead of "soda" in the Midwest of the US.

Questions on Module 3

allykmaggs — 2023-02-09 03:34:13 UTC

If you use the snowball technique and find that one of the sources used in the original article you looked at is not trustworthy, does that take considerable credibility away from the first article you looked at?

Rachel Jacobs Module 3 Summary

2023-02-09 03:49:14 UTC

I found module 3 very informative on how important literature reviews are for students and professionals. This module went over the different types of literature reviews such as narrative, where to search for articles during your literature review such as library databases, and how to search for an article effectively using keywords. I was surprised to learn that google scholar can be used as a search engine when searching for articles because I have always been told from the beginning of my college education to stay away from google scholar and to only search through library links attached to educational institutions. Another tidbit that I will use in the future is the "snowballing trick" by finding an article that answers my research question and then reviewing the references section or researching the author(s) to find similar articles. The last couple of points this module taught me was to evaluate the quality of any article I find by asking myself questions to make sure I am using a trustworthy source and to keep track of my search by taking effective notes of the sources I have found.

Monsserrath Virgen: Module 3 Lecture Summary

Monsserrath — 2023-02-09 04:06:37 UTC

Module 3 was very helpful with the knowledge in regards to literature reviews. Previously, to the information that was shared in the lecture I had an idea of what a literature review could be and given what we learned I was able to expand that idea. One of the most helpful tools that I was able to learn as through the vocabulary in "communicating research: journal article" for instance what an abstract, introduction, method , result, discussion and references and how to look at a journal article and find the information given these words. Helps you better understand what you are looking for. Another interesting finding within the lecture was the difference in resources and how to look at which ones are credible. I think that this is especially important because you do not want to include findings from an article that was not credible. Lastly, learning how to make a search log is going to be very helpful as we continue in this class in order to create our research projects as well as we further our studies in the future.

Jessica Ledezma: Module 3 Summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-02-09 04:30:07 UTC

Honestly learned a couple of things while watching this week's lecture. I learned the difference between primary and secondary sources. Primary sources contain first-hand information, while secondary sources are textbooks, magazines, newspapers, etc. I also learned something new that I didn't know before because I would always just use one search when looking for articles. I learned that for broader perspectives on childhood articles, we could use Saga journals in social sciences and when we need psychological perspective articles, we can use PsycInfo. This was very helpful because, for the activity for this week, I'll actually be using a Saga Journal article. Lastly, something that I found really interesting was when you compared researching articles to mountain climbing. That first you start off by reading the abstract which is the summary of the article, then you go to the discussion which is what they found based on what they did, then the introduction, and finally look at the results for a deeper understanding.

In this module I learned that there are many steps to research. Specifically the scientific method as my knowledge of the scientific method comes from my middle school years. Going through the scientific method more in depth helped me understand things like developing a question, create a study, do the study, and analyze what was found, concluding in making a conclusion on what was found.

After learning what the five steps of the research inquiry process contain, I then needed to put the process to use. I had written a literature review before but I was a bit confused on what research to use and how to organize it. The breakdown on how to actually analyze the research made the concept of a literature review a lot more clear. Something that I learned was about evaluating the quality of the research by first reviewing the abstract and then evaluating the article critically before moving forward with that particular research article.

2023-02-09 21:15:45 UTC

This lectures simplified as much possible as to what steps are needed to be able to identify a problem and perform steps to execute the research. I also learned the difference between independent variable and dependent variable. Independent is being manipulated and dependent is the measured effect. The refresher on the scientific method was also helpful because it made the variables more understanding and I saw it all connected. These different methods lead to being able to refine your research and help explore the data.

Module 3

Learning about literature review was very interesting. I had no idea literature review had such great purposes that will make a research paper so well written from reliable resources. Of course all purposes are as important but I belive the first one is the most important one. This purpose reinsures the work is coming from a scholarly sources that most has experience int he field they are writing about. The cool thing about this is every literature review is aimed to be understood by the audience its attracting. For example, a article/research paper on the benefits of socialization in a young toddler would have an audience of early childhood educators and psychologist. It was also nice going over what a peer review article is. I am also talking about this in my other class, so hearing about it here was a big refresher. Hearing about other sources was a great thing to know about. Secondary resources should be things such as magazines, textbooks, magazines, and radio. As opposed to the primary source being the most accurate one scholarly sources. Learned so much this week cant wait to see what new knowledge I gain next week.

Cynthia Tarazon Module 3

2023-02-09 23:43:13 UTC

In this lecture I learned how important it is to have reliable research. As well as how to find research and being able to find similar research on the subject by using the reference page. Something that really stood out to me as well was the difference between primary and secondary sources. Primary sources in basically first hand information as were secondary sources are anything like newspapers, magazines and even textbooks.

Marlene Quijada Module 2

2023-02-10 18:06:41 UTC

For this weeks lecture we went into depth about the research inquiry cycle. Such as identifying the problem, reviewing the problem, coming up with a research design, gathering data, and interpreting that information. Along with understanding how to use said information, such as using it to make important decisions or creating policies. There are also two types of data, quantitative being more data focused and qualitative being more about personal experiences.

Marlene Quijada Module 3

2023-02-10 18:13:50 UTC

In this weeks lecture we went into depth about finding the correct type of research to use. There are reliable and unreliable sources that we have to weed out when picking what sources we are to use. When looking for research topics it is important to be analyzing the data and wording of the article to be sure that the data is sound. I also learned about familiarizing myself with the school's library database for research use.

Cristina Serrato: Module 3 Summary

2023-02-10 20:55:51 UTC

For this week's module, there were a few things that I learned throughout. To begin, I learned about the different types of sources that are carried within a literature review. For example, the difference between primary and secondary sources. I realized that primary sources are one that have firsthand information and can be the most accurate. Within this lecture, I was also able to learn how to note take while searching for results. For example, how it is important to read the abstract, introduction and conclusion first. Then going back to review the structure of the paper and highlighting any quotations we find important. These tools can help us summarize the main points of the specific research topic we chose.

Shyanne Thomas: Module 3 Lecture Summary

2023-02-10 21:40:31 UTC

This week we covered more in depth about what literature is, different types of literature reviews and what to look for when selecting a scholarly article. we learned about empirical articles, review articles, theoretical articles and peer reviewed articles. One take away from this is that we are not looking for articles where there are no citations or references, we are staying away from articles written about an opinion on a topic. Also that looking through the references you can find more sources and it can lead you to the empirical research. When reading an articles it is important to look at the abstract to determine what the purpose of the study was and also the discussion, methodology, introduction and results. Looking at these sections of an article will help me choose what article will help me answer my research question.

Module 3 Summary

007960752 — 2023-02-10 23:59:02 UTC

This week's lecture covered literature searches and reviews. I have a deeper understanding of the term literature when it comes to research. Literature is described as a body of scholarly work, published in journal articles and books. They have a greater level of authority because they are created by experts in the field. The three purposes of a literature review are that it places the work in the broader scholarly community, it builds our credibility on the specific topic, and it can highlight a gap in the previous research. I also learned what to look for when choosing sources for empirical research.

007960752 — 2023-02-11 00:03:18 UTC

When I was doing the activity some articles had a section at the end below the references that said "Cited by" what does that mean?

Mod 1 summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-02-11 00:21:32 UTC

The scientific method is a set of steps that allows us to use for observations we make. The step for scientific method is to observe, make a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, find more evidence, draw a conclusion, then repeat.

Mod 2 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-02-11 00:25:21 UTC

In this mod we learned about applied research and the step-by-step process of how we can answer any research questions we have. We leaned the difference between independent variable which is something that can be manipulated and changed. Also, we learned about the dependent variable which is measurable.

Mod 2 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-02-11 00:50:02 UTC

Literature reviews is a written overview that summaries previous research topics. There are different kinds of literature reviews such as a journal article. A journal article is research articles that contains a group of articles published throughout the year. Literature review can help us avoid broad topics, it allows us to know what needs to be added in previous research, and it shows the familiarity of the topics.

Avina Adrian

Research is something that comes to play in our daily lives, aware or not. There are many types of different research that exist such as applied research and the ordinary basic research. Research can be done in a multitude of ways but it will always be beneficial to us and others as well. When it comes to research, it always starts with a question.

Avina Adrian

2023-02-11 03:13:34 UTC

When it comes to research, there are many terms that are included when conducting it. Not only terms, but many aspects that are included with research such as variables. Just as there are types of research, there are also multiple types of variables that can exist. Touching on lecture one, we also learn about a few more types of research, including qualative and quantative research.

Avina Adrian

2023-02-11 03:16:51 UTC

Multiple types of something seems to be a recurring idea when it comes to things that fall under research. With a focus on articles and literature, we learn about literature reviews and the types of articles that we can find. We touch on credibility as well as citations, when it comes to citing a source, whether it be primary or secondary.

Vanessa Barragan Mod 3

2023-02-11 04:30:42 UTC

This weeks lecture was very interesting to me. I got to have a deeper understanding on the different types of research reviews there is and resources. Something I would keep in mind is to always look for scholarly websites only such as google scholar or one search from the schools library website. Also, as well as the article being peer reviewed. I also got a deeper understanding on the lecture slides where it explained the communicating research: journal article. It gave me a better understanding of using the APA format to do research papers. Overall, these are the some ideas I would not like to forget when it comes to doing my papers for this course and properly learn how to do research papers.

Gabriela Diego Module 3 summary

2023-02-11 06:20:06 UTC

A literature review has three purposes which is to help us situate the work among a broader scholarly community, builds credibility, and helps illustrate a gap in the previous research. This lecture also helped me visualize the format of a good journal article and what it consists of. In terms of searching for sources we must consider if it is scholarly work, is it correlated to the topic and is it based on theory. Peer reviewed journals are not just someone's opinion but this work has been checked from other people and different types of other sources we must consider as well such as internet sources that we have to be cautious about. Using keywords and synonyms has its benefit when expanding your research and I knew about the snowballing trick, it comes in handy when you want to know more about your topic. My biggest takeaway from this lecture is the effective note taking because sometimes I find myself going through each article over again and I can practice note taking from the example that was shown on the slides.

Module 3 Summary Karen Olmos

2023-02-11 06:32:01 UTC

In this weeks module, I learned the importance of literature reviews for students and more. I think what was most informative was learning about how we can use other articles to help us in our own research. In order for this to happen we must make sure the articles are reliable so that we get the most accurate information. If done wrong our own research can become unreliable.

Sasha G. Module 3 Summary

2023-02-11 16:56:41 UTC

_{In this week's module, I learned how it is important that we know literature's searches and its steps. It helped me get a better understanding on how to format a journal article and what is has to it. One thing that caught my eye is to design a literature map and a search log. A literature map helps you from the beginning to end. Whereas, a search log may guide you with keeping you on track.}

Jesus Leon: Module 3 Lecture Summary

2023-02-11 19:08:27 UTC

In this week module, I learned about how vital literature reviews are and the many steps that it comes with. One thing that stood out the most for me was that keywords are important when doing research because one word can change the whole results outcomes when looking for specific articles. I also found important the Literature Review Search Log because this can help when you need to go back to an article to add more information to your research.

Joanna COntreras Module 2

2023-02-11 20:08:08 UTC

This lecture helped me understand the differences in qualitative and quantitative research. Quantitative research relies on numerical evidence, but lacks more of an in depth view that qualitative research has. It is a good method to use when needing to showcase patterns opposed to impact. Qualitative research is the use of more in depth interviews with smaller groups, but showcases research by using more informative information with the select groups they use. It is important to understand both as they can be a basis for how research methods can be applied into the research inquiry process.

Joanna Contreras Module 3

2023-02-11 20:21:20 UTC

The biggest take aways for me were the three different forms of literature review and using the information from better google. I feel knowing what direction you want to go in for literature reviews could help articulate papers based on whether you want a more informative, methodological, or analytical approach. I also hadn’t known of better google as of yet, but it would have saved me some time past semesters when I needed to look for more specific peer reviewed articles. I also learned how to use the one search feature to help find more articles than just those that are on psycARTICLES.

Maria Rojas lecture 3 module summary

2023-02-11 22:18:10 UTC

This week on the lecture module, I found it very helpful to get me ready on how to start researching on literature. I found it interesting to see how there are three types of literature and how to use those types. I liked seeing the tips and tricks to use on how to search on literature articles like using key words and finding empirical articles that are real original articles. What was helpful was treating the article like a mountain. It helps to see the order to read it such as: first abstract, intro, method, results, discussion, then references.

VALERIE PEREZ Module 3 summary

2023-02-11 23:13:17 UTC

I really appreciated the breakdown of researching literature. I think ever since I have been in college all professors just assumed I knew what I was doing, and I was always to afraid to speak up. The lectures reviewed how to search for topics and how to use APA formatting. There are a lot of steps when it comes to research papers.

Valerie Perez Module 2 summary

2023-02-11 23:16:11 UTC

In week 2 module, we reviewed the parts of research that were mathematical. We dived into variables and different types of research such as Quantitative and Qualitative. We also reviewed hypothesis and what all these things could look like in a data research. I had a hard time doing the equations in stats 2210 so I am glad we reviewed.

This week we reviewed the steps of the scientific method and apply it to research around a specific topic or question. Research does not always take place in a lab but more likely in everyday life. Learned more specifically what kind of variables (dependent and independent) can affect your research. I learned the difference between quantitative and qualitative research; quantitative data can provide results from collecting quantities where as qualitative is more in depth as to what provides these results. (ex. most popular in school)

004526027 — 2023-02-12 00:21:51 UTC

Recognizing that information is a click away, it is important to recognize that research is part of our everyday. There is basic research and applied research method. Many of the fundamentals of child development stem from extensive research and data collecting. Research exists in our everyday, I am continuously collecting data at work to better understand each of my students needs and progression.

Kasandra Carrillo: Module 3 Lecture Summary

2023-02-12 00:53:56 UTC

In this weeks lecture, I learned about literature review and about how important it is. I found the lecture to be very informative and helpful, I liked that each of the different types of literature reviews were described thoroughly. Having examples shown and explained helped me gain a much better understanding on the literature reviews and how it should be formatted. I have always struggled with finding good sources for my papers and this week's lecture also helped me in knowing what to consider when choosing.

Ana Mendoza Summary

2023-02-12 01:47:51 UTC

This week's module was about the scientific method, understanding the independent and dependent variables, and how to search for relevant literature articles. I have read literature reviews before, but the slides were a great recap on how to read them in the proper method to full y understand the method and results. Went over empirical research and peer- reviewed journals. How one should Keep track of the specific Keywords used in their database search or keep a search log of potential articles is good advice. The "Snowball trick" is the best way in my opinion to find relevant articles. The article I have found for class is on adolescence rather than early childhood, hope it's not a big issue.

Kristin Lange

2023-02-12 01:52:22 UTC

I am a Registered Behavior Technician who uses Applied Behavior Analysis when dealing with students with behaviors, so applied research is very dear to my heart. I learned that applied research goes beyond the scope of just basic research and can be used to apply to real-world problems. I also the deductive and inductive approaches using the analogies of a "waterfall" and "hill climbing." I would be interested to know when it would be appropriate to use deductive or inductive approach.

Destiny Marin Jimenez Module 3 Summary

2023-02-12 02:28:53 UTC

This weeks module helped me understand what literature review is and its purpose which is to build credibility, and help illustrate a gap. I also learned how to find good research articles/journals, what to look for and how to write in APA format. I also enjoyed the review for the quiz and what to study for, getting a refresher on what the scientific method is, the different type of variables and other key words.

Lily Gomez Summary

2023-02-12 04:38:40 UTC

In this lesson I got a review and learned new things. First I really like how we got a way on how we can narrow down out topic for research, I find that this helps me find exactly what I am really looking for. Also I was a bit confused with finding how to tell if its a peer reviwed journal but the video really helped me understand it more. I liked the intrduction to the "snowball trick" I think that its an easy way to show someone how to look at articles and get informaion out of the. Along with that I liked that it taught me what exactly too look at the article and how to choose an article that best fits what I am looking for.

Brenda Bravo lecture summary 3

brendabravo25 — 2023-02-12 05:24:34 UTC

In this module I learned a lot of new information regarding research how to narrow it down and to skim for important parts when looking at an article and to read the abstract.

Questions on Module 3 Brenda Bravo

Kristin Lange Summary

2023-02-12 05:28:04 UTC

Most of the information and guidance that I am learning in this class, have derived from applied research methods. Researchers have taken basic research to gain knowledge and have applied it to actual real-world problems. In module 2, I learned a deeper understanding of the Scientific Method. I learned that conclusions often lead to more questions within the method and start the cycle over again. I also learned about confounding variables that can influence the independent and dependent variables; this ultimately can arise more questions within the scientific method and research study. The examples given were great in allowing for an understanding of the material. What I understood the most was the aspect of Qualitative and Quantitative research. The example of the most popular person with respect why that person was chosen as popular gave me a deeper understanding of the difference.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 3

2023-02-12 05:28:48 UTC

In this week's lecture I understood more about what a literature review is and what the purpose is. I also learned that there are three different types of literature reviews and those are narrative, systematic, and meta analysis reviews. I also learned how to find research articles using keywords in the topic that I am interested in. A new trick that I can use in this class and the future is the "snowballing trick". This can help me to find more articles related to my topic or find more articles by the same author. Learning how to read a research review paper was very helpful, as I often get overwhelmed by the amount of information that can be provided.

Jada Carmichael

2023-02-12 05:30:12 UTC

Research is something we do in order to discover new things. Research helps us expand our learning and knowledge and go deeper into a topic of interest. This then can lead to new ideas and coming up with hypothesis that can be tested. Which then leads to new ideas and a better understanding of the topic of interest.

Desi P

2023-02-12 06:42:25 UTC

What I really found useful this module was the videos in reference to how to read an academic article. What I found useful was the steps on which is better to read first, such as starting with the abstract followed by the discussion, introduction, results and ending with the methods. This was useful for me while researching for week 3 activity.

2023-02-12 06:50:55 UTC

Is there a similar way, such as the snowball effect, to find other articles that pertain to what you’re looking for? Or a faster route to finding them?

Sandreana perales

2023-02-12 07:01:37 UTC

What I took for this weekend lecture was the importance of literature review and what literature review is all about. I learned that there are more than one type of literature review. There’s literature review in a journal article and as a research methodology. The journal article is related to a literature section and follows the intro to a study where as the research methodology has a narrative review, systematic and meta-analysis review. Literature review takes several forms like books, published journal articles, and doctoral dissertations. Lastly I learned that library databases are very important to look into when searching for an article or scholarly journal because there is a big variety of academic subjects and statistics on a topic or concept of interest.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-02-12 07:02:31 UTC

What I found helpful this module is how to cite an APA paper correctly. It was a bit confusing to understand if I am being honest because never seen a clear description explaining everything. I learned that its important to read the abstract and figure out what the hypothesis is. I learned that an independent variable is presumed to cause changes in another variable. But a dependent variable is the presumed effect or outcome of the study. Key words are important when looking for research and before I had a hard time finding research but I see now its easier when doing key words.

Diana Olivares: Module 3 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-02-12 07:03:06 UTC

In this week’s lecture I learned about literature review, the purpose, and searching process for it. Literature review can take many forms such as identifying central issues in a field or building bridges between related topics. There are both reliable and unreliable sources, these sources include primary, secondary, and internet sources. A takeaway is to use the snowballing trick, to review references cited in an article to find similar articles.

2023-02-12 07:18:58 UTC

Cristyan Macias Module 3
For this weeks module I was trying to get a better understanding of academic articles and literature. To be completely honest it’s still confusing to me. One thing that I was able to get a better understanding and found a lot more helpful was the abstracts. It gave me a good understanding on what a strong and good abstract is and where it makes me want to read the full academic piece. Also I would say searching for specific content can be done when searching for important key words related to the information someone is looking for.

Isabel Chavez Module 3 Summary

2023-02-12 07:33:50 UTC

This week what I learned was the type of research methodology that literature articles have. It is so interesting how they all can seem so similar but yet they have their own different characteristics. I found it interesting to learn the meanings behind each one because it will be easier to identify them later on. I also learned how to break down an article with the guide of the lecture and notes because it broken down the way an article is shown and how each of their "tabs/ titles" has what information to look for. This information came in handy while I was working on my class activity. One very important thing I won't forget about this module was the quiz we will have next week. I had a lot of fun on the class activity and I can't wait for what's next!

Kristin Lange

008047787 — 2023-02-12 07:50:52 UTC

I learned a lot from the literature searches and articles. I learned that "the literature" is a conversation from academia to academia over time. I like that each literature review can serve many purposes such as drawing connections from different perspectives of the same research, criticizing previous scholarly work, building bridges with related topics, and identifying central issues in a field. I believe this is what helps answer questions and provide insight into problems that are faced within a particular field.

Module 3Lecture Summary

2023-02-12 15:38:04 UTC

In module 3, I learned about literature review as a research methodology. It can take many forms by integrating with what others have done and said, criticizing previous scholarly works, building bridges between related topics, and identifying central issues in a field. I learned that empirical equals original research.

I found the information on keeping a literature review search log and note-taking very helpful.

I learned that the scientific method involves a series of steps to investigate a natural occurrence. And that the scientific method relies upon empirical ways of obtaining information. The basic steps in the scientific method are observation, hypothesis, test, evidence, conclusion, and repeat; it is never-ending.

In this week lesson, I was able to comprehend the forms of literature. Even the basics of the scientific method will always part of researching. Also learning how to correctly do APA format. It is important find articles that are already peer reviewed.

Week 3 Kylie Thomas

2023-02-12 20:33:14 UTC

In this weeks lesson I was able to understand the various forms of literature within the region or field of research methodology. I found different information helpful as I can understand the scientific method pertaining to science but when applying it to any research it will be easy for me to comprehend and allow myself to find different information I will be in need of when conducting my research article.

Week 2 Kylie Thomas

2023-02-12 20:37:02 UTC

In week 2 lesson I was able to learn about how important the type of research will be within the field you are apart of. Throught the research inquiry process you are able to almost do a full brain storm and follow step by step of what should be done and the method in which you should be finding information through.

Estefani Canseco: Module 3 Summary

2023-02-14 19:23:15 UTC

In this weeks lecture I learned more in depth about what a literature review is and what it can be used for. There are three main forms of literature review which are systematic, narrative, and meta analysis. Also with this I learned how to use and find keywords/synonyms related to my area of interest to find research publications. Another cool thing I learn was the "snowballing trick" which I can utilize in this class and the future work. Lastly, I got to learn how to find articles on the subject i'm researching. This was really helpful to me because it taught me how to read a research review paper/report and methods to help me read articles.

Module 4 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-02-15 03:27:39 UTC

One thing that will stick with me after this week's lectures is the idea of FINER when it comes to the characteristics of a good research question. This will help me in developing my own research question for this course as well as future research questions as I go in in my field. It will also help me to better judge and critique other research questions from studies. Good research questions should be: Feasible, Interesting to the researcher, Novel, Ethical, and Relevant.

Celeste A

2023-02-16 01:14:32 UTC

In module 3 I learned a little bit more about the scientific method. The scientific method consists of careful observation and a couple more steps. I also became aware of the different forms of literature and how empirical is a form of original research.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-02-16 01:23:37 UTC

In module 3 I learned a little bit more about the scientific method. The scientific method consists of many steps and one of the steps is careful observation. I also learned how empirical is really important in the research process.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 4

2023-02-16 01:28:07 UTC

From this weeks lesson, the takeaway was how to develop my research question. The three steps which are state my topic, implying my question, and giving rationale. These step can help me to begin forming my research question for this class and use when forming other research question in my career. I also learned what characteristics are needed form a good research question with the acronym FINER: Feasible, Interesting to the researcher, Novel, Ethical, and Relevant. These are characteristics I can take account to make sure my research question is relevant to my topic and field. This can also help me narrow my broad topic and begin to form a research question. I also learned how important Ethics is to research and how we need to take that into consideration when doing any kind of experiment.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-02-16 01:29:41 UTC

In module 4 I learned about applied research in a deeper for and how each academic research can be categorized in 5 forms. Another thing I learned was a way I can add additional information to a topic that has already been assigned to me. I found that very helpful. What I found interesting was that a research methodology can be approached in 3 different forms.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 4

2023-02-16 01:49:58 UTC

From this lecture, I learned how to form a good research question. It was interesting learning about FINER. I especially found that ethics are very important to conduct any type of research. Another takeaway is the importance of ethics when working with children and how they also need to give assent along with parental consent. That is something that I did not know prior to the lecture.

Rachel Jacobs Module 4

2023-02-16 02:15:20 UTC

I had a few takeaways from this module that recapped the inquiry cycle and research questions and then went on to ethics in research. First, I think using FINER is a good way to remember what is needed in a research question to make it a good one and I will keep these characteristics in mind in the future. I also found it interesting to learn about ethics in research, specifically about how the IRB came into action and how there is exempt, minimal-risk, and at-risk research. I never thought that asking someone questions would be considered risky, but after thinking about it, making a participant uncomfortable, even in the slightest, should be considered when planning a research design.

Erika Smith

2023-02-16 03:32:01 UTC

Lecture 1 taught me about how important the two types of research; such as, basic and applied research are. It was interesting to learn that through the research inquiry cycle we can solve practical problems and apply the findings to our daily life or everyday problems which it is the goal of applied research. Therefore, applied research comes out with practical solutions for everyday problems and to start a research inquiry cycle, we need to find or identify the problem first.

Erika Smith

2023-02-16 03:45:11 UTC

Lecture 2 taught me about the difference and how to find the independent and dependent variables. Independent variable can be manipulated by the researchers; therefore, the researchers have control over it and dependent variable is what is measured. Another takeaway from this lecture is that there are two types of data: Quantitative and qualitative. It is important to know the difference between these two types of data because it will help me to answer my research question in a good way.

Lecture 3 taught me about how important is to find reliable information. It was very helpful to learn from this lecture how to research for specific content; in order to find the article I used in the class activity of this week. Something I did not know before lecture was that there are three main forms of literature review; such as, systematic, narrative and meta analysis.

Lecture 4 taught me about how to generate a good research question and how important it is observation in order to generate it. I learned that there are some characteristics that a research question has to follow; such as, FINER. Another takeaway from this lecture is that ethics is very important in order to do research and not to become unethical when developing a research. Therefore, it was important to learn about the three basic ethical principles.

Mishon-Week 4 Lecture Summary

2023-02-16 15:50:11 UTC

This week's lecture discussed the steps in developing a research question and ethics in the research. FINER=Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, and Relevant. Also, research ideas can come from many different sources, including informal observations, practical problems, and previous research. It was also insightful hearing how to show cause and effect relationships; we must conduct controlled experiments to understand relationships among variables and to look at correlations. Evaluating how interesting and feasible a research question will be to answer before designing a study and collecting data. In addition, in regard to ethics, some of the main points were to do no.

Principle, Risk and benefits, informed consent/assent, confidentiality, debriefing, and the review board (IRB) process. Lastly, that is is your responsibility as a researcher to know and accept ethical responsibilities and ensure to minimize risks and deception in your research by making changes to your research design, prescreening to identify high-risk participants, and providing participants with as much information as possible during informed consent and debriefing so that we do not repeat the history of the unethical and harmful practices that have been done in the past.

2023-02-16 22:32:22 UTC

This week's lecture touched more on how we should develop a research question. Rather, how to properly do it using the FINER method. Finer stands for feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant. This helps us follow a set of characteristics when it comes to developing a question, and the most important aspect is that it is ethical. Rather, that we should always try to be ethical when it comes to questions.

Module 4 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-02-17 01:52:11 UTC

Module 4 grew my understanding of the concept behind research questions and how to form them, as it explained that if a chosen research topic has already been addressed, one can add to the existing knowledge or use another set of participant characteristics. This explanation is something I do not want to forget since I have questioned what one should do if this were to happen, as the goal behind a research question is to identify some sort of relationship between different variables, which oftentimes could have already been addressed. With this, I learned that there are three different types of relationships a research question may address: descriptive, process, and causal. When learning about the types of relationships, I also gained knowledge about the characteristics of a research question, as they are defined as FINER: feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant. All of this has allowed me to understand the development of a research question, as one should state their topic, imply the question, and give the rationale.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 4 Lecture Summary

2023-02-17 02:07:43 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned more about research questions and more specifically how to generate a good one. I learned that characteristics of a good research question include the acronym "FINER". Which means feasible, interesting to the researcher, novel, ethical, and relevant. Lastly, an important thing I learned is that ethical considerations are an essential part of doing research.

Ledezma - Module 4 Summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-02-17 02:57:31 UTC

From this week's lecture, the main takeaways that I learned were the three basic ethical principles. The three basic ethical principles are beneficence, respect for persons, and justice. When it comes to beneficences, it simply means that researchers should maximize the benefits while limiting any potential negative impacts. Secondly, respect for persons simply implies respecting people as autonomous agents and protecting those with diminished autonomy. Finally, justice entails properly spreading the benefits and hazards of research. All in all, these three basic ethical principles were placed for the protection of human subjects.

Yessenia Rubio- Module 3

2023-02-17 05:53:36 UTC

This weeks lecture helped me be able to find articles that will help me find beneficial research for my thesis. Making sure to see if the person who wrote the article is credible is also important. Literature reviews can be more accurate to your research based on the keywords that are being used to search. This is extremely helpful and will definitely be implemented in my future searches.

Yessenia Rubio- Module 4

2023-02-17 06:12:11 UTC

In this week's lecture I learned how to create good research questions to explore or research more. The two methodological approaches that will help with organizing data is qualitative and quantitative. Also human research subjects are confidential and must be protected when stating your data. FINER is also very helpful to use to accurately complete what is needed for a research question.

Marlene Quijada module 4

2023-02-17 16:59:59 UTC

In this week's lecture we looked over how to generate a good research question and ethics. The characteristics of a good research question have to be feasible, interesting to the researcher, novel, ethical, and relevant. These characteristics will help create a good research question. We also learned the importance of ethical considerations that need to be made when doing research. The three basic ethical principles being beneficence, respect for persons, and justice. Along with key informations such a person's responsibility as a researcher to accept ethical responsibilities.

Module 4 - Stephanie Hernandez

007669461 — 2023-02-17 23:42:17 UTC

I took away a lot of valuable information that helps you create a great research question. I discovered characteristics that make a research question good. These characteristics are put into an acronym which is FINER. F stands for feasible, I stands for interesting to the researcher, N for novel, E for ethical, R for relevant. I really liked how this was put into an acronym because it will make it easier for me to remember "finer" the most accurate ways to create a good research question. This is the main and most valuable thing I got from this weeks module. A research question is very important because it lays the foundation for your research.

Mod 4 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-02-18 00:08:46 UTC

In research, it is vital to have the conclusion answer something that interests people. In conducting research design, it is essential to trust the study, so it's important to have integrity. You can do this by ensuring all the information you gather is valid and, when choosing the sample, always explain why you choose a specific group of people. This will allow people not to feel that you put the research in your favor by selecting a particular group.

Halie White Module 4 summary

2023-02-18 00:38:18 UTC

An idea from this lecture that I do not want to forget is the minimal risk and more than minimal risk. It is so easy to risk a persons confedeniality and it is so important to ensure their privacy. I wabt to take with me the concept that the research question decides what method to use to collect dadt and not the other way around. This will get you the best quality research if you go based on what support sthe question the most.

Vanessa Barragan: Module 4

2023-02-18 02:37:07 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned more about what is applied research. I have learned the purpose of applied research is to help make decisions about a specific problem. I also learned more details on how to form a great research question. Something interesting that I would like to remember is the characteristics of a good search question (FINER). This will help me in creating my own research question for this course and future research questions. As well as learning the steps of developing a research question, which was interesting to know.

Module 4 Summary

007960752 — 2023-02-18 03:30:45 UTC

This week's lecture was about ethics in research. It is important to consider risks, benefits, privacy protection, participant understanding, and participant's ability to agree. There are vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, children, prisoners, those with mental disabilities, terminally ill, and those economically disadvantaged, that should be considered when conducting research. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) was created to make sure the rights and welfare of human research subjects are protected. It is the responsibility of the researcher to know and accept ethical responsibilities.

Jasmin Garcia

2023-02-18 04:09:13 UTC

Module 2 helped me to understand the elements and process of research (Identify the problem, review existing literature, plan research design, gather and analyze data, and interpret and share).
There are two types of variables:
Independent and dependent variables.
There are also 2 types of data:
qualitative approach (based on experiences) and quantitative approach (based on understanding patterns).

Jasmin Garcia

2023-02-18 04:19:24 UTC

In this module I learned what are the steps on literature and search review. I got a better understanding on what is independent vs dependent variant (dependent: effect or outcome of the study, independent: cause a change in another variable).
Literature review is the lit review in a journal article as a research methodology and it can be in narrative review, systematic review, or temaanalizing. Finally, we can find it in the introduction part and the discussion section.

Jasmin Garcia

2023-02-18 04:31:19 UTC

This lecture was about Research Ethics and research questions. There are three types of research questions that include relationship (Descriptive, process, causal) and the characteristics of a good research question are FINER (feasible, interesting to the research, novel, ethical, and relevant). The steps for developing a research question are: state your topic, imply your question, and give the relationship. It is very important to remain that research questions decide what type of method we are going to use (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods). The three basic ethical principles are beneficence, respect for person, and justice. There is a nonprofit organization called OpenAI that offers support to people involved in research. The IRB is an institutional review board that approved research if they are not harmful to other. Finally, the ethical points to review are the “do no harm” principle, risks and benefits, informed consent/assent, confidentiality, debriefing, review board (IRB) process.

Cristina Garcia- Module 4

2023-02-18 06:05:32 UTC

In this weeks lecture, I learned a lot of great key factors that increased my knowledge on coming up with a good research question. Some of these points include the steps in developing a research question, making sure it's feasible, and more importantly making sure its ethical. I will also take more into consideration the risk factors when choosing the group of people I want to research and how or what the topic of research is. IRB was another interesting topic in this weeks module and I think it's important to know that their is an organization that ensures the rights and welfare of participants.

Cristina Serrato Module 4 Summary

2023-02-18 07:27:30 UTC

For this week's lecture, I learned about some ethical considerations that need to be thought of when conducting a research question. For example, understanding that there are certain reflections that we need to elaborate on. More specifically, I learned about the three basic ethical principles, beneficence, respect for persons and justice. It is very important to incorporate all of these principles for conducting research because it gives the individuals security and feeling of safety. When is comes to the participant's right of privacy, one needs to keep confidentiality for many reasons. One of course is towards their safety but also from not disrupting the research question at hand with social media and simply just exposure.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-02-18 07:47:35 UTC

In this weekend's module I learned about ethical standards when conducting research. The IRB is in charge of overseeing all research that uses human participants there were some studies like the Milgram study and the Prison study that were unethical. These studies inflicted harm on the participants, and this is how the IRB became to be what it is now. there are no longer able to do studies that may harm a participant.

Sasha G: Module 4 Summary

2023-02-18 16:59:01 UTC

For this week's module, I learned how important research ethics and research question can be. For example, feasible shows us how descriptive of researcher it's going to be, applying interest to the research, add novelty to your research question, form of consent, and practice the knowledge of your research. If you follow these steps of "FINER," it's going to guide you on how descriptive the research question can be. We also learn how important the three basic ethical principles are. Which is balancing the beneficence, respect for persons, and justice. Overall, it is important that we know what steps are needed to create a research ethics and research questions.

Ashley Meza :Module 4 summary

2023-02-18 19:50:51 UTC

In this weeks lecture I learned a lot about generating good research questions and what it comes with. I learned about " FINER" and IRB which means : F- Feasible , I- Interesting, N- Novel, E- ethical, R- Relevant. This was something that will help in the long run for developing questions that important and ethical. IRB meaning institutional review board and that was how to exempt research and minimal risk research.

Ashley Meza: Module 3 summary

2023-02-18 19:55:44 UTC

This module helped me to understand how important it is to really find reliable information. I also learned about the 3 main forms of literature review that consisted of being systematic, narrative, and meta analysis. There is a lot of preparation to the scientific method and with that there are a many steps to and very careful observation.

Ashley Meza: Module 2 summary

2023-02-18 20:00:59 UTC

In this module I learned the importance of research and characteristics of basic and applied research when making decisions on particular problems. The research inquiry process really helped in identifying problems, reviewing existing literature, planning research design , gathering and analyzing data and interpreting and sharing our finds.

Ashley Meza: Module 1 summary

2023-02-18 20:05:08 UTC

In module 1 , I learned the importance of research and the 2 types of research. This helps us expand information and knowledge. There is basic research and applied research . This can be done in many ways but always looking for the most beneficial ways to ask and interpret questions.

Destiny Marin Jimenez Module 4 summary

2023-02-18 20:59:57 UTC

This week's lecture I learned about the types of research questions that involve relationships scubas Descriptive, process and casual. Descriptive focuses on the mean differences and correlations, process focuses on why and under what conditions and casual focuses on the independent (cause) and dependent (effect) variables. I also got a better understanding about how to develop a research question by first stating a topic, then implying the question and then giving a rationale.

Pershin Danielle

2023-02-18 21:08:30 UTC

In module one we reviewed the steps of research. Also, we learned more about the vocabulary and definitions of scientific research. Some of the concepts and overviews seemed familiar because scientific process has always been studied in the science classes I’ve taken. After learning about the terms, I felt more confident going into module two. Module two will be about steps of ethical research and looking more into what ethical research is.

Pershin Danielle

2023-02-18 21:14:50 UTC

Module two went over the details of applied research. This ethical research module also covered the different types. Various datas and various types of research were reviewed and taught in this module. The steps of research were covered again and putting it into an activity furthered the understanding of the concept.

Pershin Danielle

2023-02-18 21:18:16 UTC

This specific module covered the various elements of the research paper. The complexity of the paper can be difficult to read; however, this module took each element apart. The details of research, when put into a paper, can be difficult to to find. The module went over each part. When doing the activity, we applied what we learned into researching the paper. Hence the class name “applied research”

Pershin Danielle

2023-02-18 21:24:21 UTC

It’s been clear through this module what policies or ethics researches must follow. I reflected this lesson back to module 3. I remembered the activity I did and how ethics were applied in that research paper. The participants that were selected from population were done so with ethics. They did not use names, instead they followed the ethics by using a numbers. This kept the privacy of the participants.

Cristina Garcia- Module 1

007696436 — 2023-02-18 21:38:01 UTC

During Module 1 recorded summaries, I learned how to read scholarly articles to help me increase my understanding without being all over the place. At first I thought scholarly articles were a little overwhelming to learn and read but I've leaned I can read through them in a timely matter by looking at key factors. I also got great tips on how to take notes so that everything that I put in my notebook will help me with a great outcome. The research process inquiry example also gave me an idea of how a scholarly article is put together.

Maria Rojas Module 4 lecture summary

2023-02-18 22:11:10 UTC

Reviewing this module made it really clear the importance of ethics in a research environment. There are many factors one needs to consider when creating a research study and allowing participants to attend. What stuck out to me was the unfortunate unethical studies in the past such as the Stanford prison study, milligram study, and syphilis study. The IRB was then created to prevent unethical studies from happening again. It is important to never disclose any confidentiality and never do harm to participants engaging in a research study.

Cristina Garcia- Module 2

007696436 — 2023-02-18 22:15:05 UTC

On module 2 I learned how to understand and distinguish a good research from a bad one. One of the slides that really helped me was the characteristics of basic vs. applied research (from the initiative of both to the outcome). The 5 steps on the scientific method makes it easy to understand how a research paper is put together.

Joanna Contreras Module 4 Summary

2023-02-18 22:32:39 UTC

In this week's lecture I learned the importance of the three basic ethical principles as well as FINER. What also piqued my interest was how ethical research began its journey into being used. I believe ethical research is needed because it would affect the validity and safety research could impose onto people. It also taught me about the IRB and its importance to preserve the safety of both the researcher and participants.

Moduel 4

2023-02-18 22:39:38 UTC

Sandreana P
In module 4 we talked about where good research questions come from. I learned they come from inspiration and previous research like literature reviews where there’s a review of the existing research and theories that are out there. Ethical standards were also a big part of our weeks lecture. We looked at potential risks or participants, potential benefits, individual privacy/ confidentiality, and participants roles along with their ability to participate. The IRB or institutional review board, which is a board set in place to overlook research to see if researchers respect participants rights and their welfare.

Sandreana p

2023-02-18 22:42:18 UTC

What happens if the study is reviewed by the IRB and given the ok, but the researchers decide to add in subjects last minute without giving participants a debriefing or relaying this information to the IRB?

Cristina Garcia- Mod 3

007696436 — 2023-02-18 22:46:22 UTC

This mod was very informative and helpful because it explained key terms on communicating with journal articles. Not only did I learn the breakdown of it but I also learned how to search for topics to come up with a good research question. This is something that I struggle with so knowing that I have that source will really give me that support. Finally I have a better understanding of verifying which sources are current, complete, and trustworthy.

Module 4- Valeria Molina

2023-02-18 23:02:47 UTC

This week we learned more in depth about literature review. We used what we had already known from module 3 and added on to those ideas. I also learned how to properly identify a well developed research question through the acronym “F.I.N.E.R.”. What interested me the most was understanding the ethical issues that come with studies and how I.R.B. tests that no participants are harmed. The module for this week was very helpful because i didn’t fully understand how to formulate a great research question but now I feel confident in doing so. I am feeling prepared for this week’s quiz! :)

Module 4 Lecture Summary: Diana Olivares

006967383 — 2023-02-18 23:36:38 UTC

In this lecture we covered the characteristics of research questions and the importance of ethics in research. Research questions are a description of the broad topic of a study, some of the characteristics of a good research question can be done through the use of “FINER”. I also learned about the three basic ethical principles of research which include beneficence, respect for persons, and justice. A takeaway from this lecture is the importance in knowing and accepting ethical responsibilities, minimizing risks and ensuring every participant within the research knows as much information and has given consent.

Module 4 Lecture Summary: Monsserrath Virgen

2023-02-19 00:02:31 UTC

In this lecture we reviewed what a research question was and how to check the characteristics of a good research question. For example learning about "F.I.N.E.R" and checking if those characteristics are found within our own research question. Something that was very interesting to me within this lecture was furthering my knowledge on ethics in research. I learned about the Institutional Review Board and how it was established to ensure the rights and welfare of human research subjects. Which I did not know about prior to this class. Seeing the unethical experiments that took place made me glad that now we have a board and further knowledge on making sure that there is honesty, justice and beneficence that come into research and experiment.

Module 2 Summary

007221221 — 2023-02-19 00:54:14 UTC

In this module, I learned more about the processes and steps of research. There's the Research Inquiry process as well as the scientific method. There is a lot that goes into researching and the steps are very important tp ensure that our results are as accurate and reliable as possible. The one thing that I believe I got clarity on is Independent variables and Dependent variables. The IV is the thing that is being manipulated. Therapy vs no therapy. The DV is the effect or outcome. In past classes, I was always so confused about both and would mix them up. The examples in the slides really helped!

Module 3 Summary

007221221 — 2023-02-19 00:59:13 UTC

This module went further into looking at literature reviews. We looked at the scientific method again and IV and DV's. It was helpful to see how to look for research articles the right way rather than just finding them by chance scrolling through the internet. Our library provides a helpful database with different subjects of research. In this module we also broke down the anatomy of a scientific paper. If the paper is missing one or more of the topics, it may not be a reliable paper!

Module 4 Summary

007221221 — 2023-02-19 01:09:28 UTC

I found this module to be the most interesting so far. It was very informative and it showed the complexity of actually going about conducting safe research. There is an easy acronym to describe the characteristic of finding a good research question; FINER. F-feasible I-interesting to researcher N- novel E-ethical R-relevant. There are also important considerations in the research process like, what are some potential risks? Are there benefits? Are the participants able to agree to the study? and are they aware of their roles? Learning about past study's and how unethical they were was also fascinating. I had heard about the Stanford Prison study and the Milgram study in the past but they never cease to shock me when I hear about them.

Module 4 Lecture Summary : Jesus Leon

2023-02-19 02:07:52 UTC

In this week lecture we learned about the characteristics of a good research question and the three basic ethical principles. We learned that research questions are a description of the broad topic of the study. We also learned that the characteristics of a good research question can be applied though "FINER". That being said, three basic ethical principles are, Beneficence, Respect for persons, and Justice.

Desi p.

2023-02-19 02:27:03 UTC

What I liked during this module is the steps that have been implemented to help protect participants within a research study. I also found the Milgram Study to be very interesting and how the participants were influenced by these authorities.

Module 4

008024283 — 2023-02-19 02:51:32 UTC

Module 4 was all about ethical research, and determining how to have a good research question. Research Metrology can be used in three different approaches when doing a literature review: narrative review, systematic review, and meta-analysis. Characteristics for a good research question is for the question to be feasible, interesting to the researcher, novel, ethical, and relevant. Three unethical studies that lead to the National Research Act were the Milgram Study, Stanford Prison Study, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The IRB is a committee established to ensure that the rights and welfare of participants are protected. They protect our vulnerable populations like pregnant women, prisoners, children, veterans, people with mental disabilities, and terminally ill.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-02-19 02:57:28 UTC

This week we learned about literature review which a is a methodology or a section of a document that clicked key sources to inform the research inquiry process. When developing your research question its important to state your topic, imply your question and give the rationale. In order to conduct a literature, review you need to identify key words, search for databases, design literature maps, being draft summaries and finally organize literature review. Predictor variable consists of independent variable as well as Explanatory variable. Outcome variable consists of dependent variable and Response variable.

Daisy Pompa

2023-02-19 03:24:10 UTC

This week we learned about Literature Review. Literature review is the research methodology or part of a document which collects information from the research inquiry process. Within the literature review there are three approaches; narrative, systematic, and Meta-analysis review. When conducting a literature review there are certain steps, the research question is what forms your topic and there are three types of research questions the descriptive, process, and casual. The IRB was created due to unethical research that was conducted and it reviews the research of all human subjects and human participants.

Daisy Pompa

2023-02-19 03:31:12 UTC

Module three went over the Scientific Method and the steps that come with the scientific method. As well as finding literature searches and reviews. As well as its important and what we need to look for when looking for one. It went over on how to find journals, articles and insure the sources that we find are trustworthy and relevant to what we are researching.

Daisy Pompa

2023-02-19 03:38:02 UTC

This module teaches on Basic and applied research and their differences. As well as the research inquiry process cycle and understanding the different steps. I also learned about the Scientific Method and the general steps used when researching. I learned about the different types of data such as qualitative and quantitative research and which is appropriate for certain research.

Daisy Pompa

2023-02-19 03:48:02 UTC

Module one reviews the structure of the class. It goes over APA format and what is expected for the class. There were also a couple videos that helped understand how to read scholarly articles.

Kylie Thomas

2023-02-19 03:54:34 UTC

This week we learned about we learned about research ethics and the different ethical principles about research. With ethical research it helps us determine a good research question. In order to have a good research question and topic you have to minimize the risk and different deceptions within the research design. By identifying different ethical issues that are relevant for the research will help you have good decisions

Module 4 Lecture Review Shyanne Thomas

2023-02-19 04:01:13 UTC

This week we covered research question, literature review and the ethics behind research. Learning about finding a research question was helpful because it pointed out finding things that you are interested or inspired by. making sure that we are using the FINER method when coming up with our research question. taking ethical consideration into research and making sure that participants are protected and get approval from the Institutional Review Board(IRB). With this we can make sure that in research we are making sure that our research is ethical and we are protecting everyone especially children.

Cristyan Macias For this week we mostly went over research ethics. I think that it is an important topic to discuss since we have to respect everyone. I liked in the slide it questioned different things that should be ethical in research. Such as the benefits, the risks, etc. One thing that I liked is also communication to the participants and allowing them to feel more like people rather than test subjects. Finally I feel that it is good that even though that you are aware of risks and benefits its also important for the researcher to accept the responsibilities of the results.

007794248 — 2023-02-19 04:20:46 UTC

Gabriela Diego Module 4 summary

2023-02-19 04:35:05 UTC

After reviewing this weeks lecture, it is important to consider ethics while conducting research. We learned about unethical studies that were conducted in the past and why we should follow the three basic ethical principles which are beneficence, respect for persons, and justice. I now know that there is an IRB review committee to ensure the rights of human research and vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, prisoners, etc. Lastly, my final takeaway is knowing how to differ between research situations that are at minimal risk or is more than minimal risk present.

Sarah B.

2023-02-19 05:01:39 UTC

In applied research studies is it most beneficial to do research on children or adults while taking into consideration the ethical aspect of it by minimizing harm and maximizing benefits for both participant and/or researchers?

carmichaeljada — 2023-02-19 05:32:45 UTC

I found this weeks lecture to be very interesting. I found the characters of basic vs applied research to be interesting because I did not realize the difference between the Two. For example the purpose of the two. Basic is to advance knowledge where as applied is to make a decision.

carmichaeljada — 2023-02-19 05:37:59 UTC

In module 3 we learned about the scientific method. I found this to be very interesting because how in-depth it goes. This method identify a set of rules and produres for information being collected. I found this to be interesting because of how many steps are used. Such as observing the information, coming up with hypothesis, testing it to see if it is correct and having evidence to back this information up.

carmichaeljada — 2023-02-19 05:49:35 UTC

In this week’s lectures we discussed research ethics. I found this to be interesting because it discusses humans and how we communicate and observe others. We also discussed IRB. I was unsure what this was until this lecture. I learned the role of IRB is to oversee all research that uses human subjects.

VALERIE PEREZ MODULE 4

2023-02-19 05:50:37 UTC

This week we covered a few topics that help us with our research. We learned about research ethics which is something that is important in order to treat our participants with respect and to have research that is not harming anyone. We saw a few videos on some experiments that would not be considered ethical. We also covered Literature Review and sources for our papers. It is very interesting how much goes into our papers and all the information that is needed.

I really enjoyed hearing and going through this week's lecture. I have always been interested in learning more about the scientific method. We went over how the scientific method lays out a foundation for how information is collected, measured, examined, and evaluated. First we observe and come up with a question which we then answer with a potential solution. We then test that solution and if we find that it is true, we have to find more evidence and draw our conclusions. We would then have to repeat it to make it valid. I also really liked learning more about independent and dependent variables.

2023-02-19 06:43:03 UTC

This week's lecture allowed me to become more familiar with the Three Basic Ethical Principles. I learned that the three basic ethics principles are Beneficence, Respect for Persons, and Justice. With beneficence all research should maximize the benefits and minimize anything that can harm the participants. It is extremely important for the participants to be informed of all possible outcomes. I also learned about the (IRB) an Institutional Review Board. They ensure that the rights and welfare of the participants are protected. Researches also must respect the participant's right to privacy by maintaining confidentiality.

Module 4 Summary Karen Olmos

2023-02-19 07:18:47 UTC

In this module, I learned about ethical standards in research. I learned that it is important to think about the risk, privacy, and protection and have the participants agree. Depending on what the research is, it should be open for everyone, including pregnant women, older and younger, and just people of all different backgrounds.

Estefani Canseco: Module 4 Lecture Summary

2023-02-20 22:48:54 UTC

In this weeks module, I learned about literature searches and reviews of articles and topics. From this I learned how to identify and search for a good authentic research article. There is also different types of literature reviews in which it can take many forms. It discussed how to use certain keywords such as synonyms and related words to expand my search. I thought this was really helpful because it shows ways to find results of that topic you're researching. We also discussed research ethics and IRB. It is important that we respect each others work and the rights to their privacy. We have to make sure our research is ethical and following certain guidelines.

tiffanee909 — 2023-02-20 23:04:34 UTC

In the lecture, I received more information of how to develop a good research question. Something that stood out to me and that would be very helpful when creating a good research question was the acronym FINER. After developing my research question, then comes the hypothesis and prediction. Hypothesis is a tentative idea and prediction is basically guess based on the answer of the hypothesis.

Alyssa Ortiz Module 4 Summary

2023-02-21 00:05:28 UTC

During the lecture videos I think the most important thing was about the ethical standards as a researcher. Ensuring client dignity and being completely transparent about what the participants would be signing up for is crucial. Another important takeaway from this lecture was ensuring your research question is a good one.

tiffanee909 — 2023-02-21 17:51:55 UTC

This lecture was based on sampling and how to use it to find the general population for your research project. The first concept is selecting which sample to use whether it’s probability or non probability. Probability consists of randomization while non probability is convince or accidental. I also learned about the ethical issues of sampling. Something that stood out to me was an image from the ethical issue slide and it was a scale showing respect of persons, beneficence, and justice.

Mod 5 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-02-22 01:02:33 UTC

In the module 5 lecture videos, we went through sampling. Sampling is crucial in research because it allows researchers to collect data representing a larger population. There are two types of sampling probability and nonprobability. A probability sample can be targeted to a specific population and is typically random, which creates an unbiased selection. In contrast, nonprobability is more for convenience and can only be based on where the sample was studied.

Module 5 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-02-22 03:44:36 UTC

Module 5 explains that if we want to take a sample from a population, there are two different techniques: probability sampling and nonprobability sampling. Probability sampling is when we have knowledge of what the chances are of anyone from the population being selected to participate in our sample. With this, there are four main types of probability sampling: simple, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. This sampling method is the ideal category of sampling for quantitative data—the determination of relationships between variables or cause-and-effect relationships—which is knowledge I do not want to forget. Nonprobability sampling occurs when we do not know the likelihood of someone from the population being chosen to be a part of our sample. In this category of sampling, there are also four main types: convenience, quota, purposive, and snowball sampling.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 5 Lecture Summary

2023-02-22 04:28:24 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned about sampling and why it is important. I learned the difference between probability samples and non-probability samples. In which probability samples can be generalized to the target population and non-probability samples can only be generalized to the institution where the sample was studied. I also learned about random sampling (simple, systematic, and stratified). Overall, sampling is a powerful tool.

Diana Olivares: Module 5 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-02-22 06:39:22 UTC

In this week’s lecture I learned about the types and importance of sampling. There are different types of samples such as probability and non probability samples. Probability samples are a selection based on randomization and generalized to the target population. Some of the probability sampling methods include simple, systematic, stratified, cluster, and convenience sampling. Whereas non probability samples use non random ways to select the population and generalize to institutions. The nonprobability sampling methods include availability, quota, and purposive sampling. A takeaway from this lecture is that good research requires thinking about the sample to be used in a study and that is representative of the population.

Adrian Avina

2023-02-22 23:39:23 UTC

This week's lecture touches on the topic of different types of sampling. These types of sampling are known as non-probability and probability. With probability sampling, there are even more aspects that are included. Such as how exactly samples are taken. When it comes to surveys or samples, it is important that it covers the whole population that you are surveying. if gone about the right way, sampling can be a very, very useful tool.

Halie White Module 5 summary

2023-02-23 02:43:40 UTC

An idea I want to remember is that thinking through if the sample is appropriate for the question is important. There are different types of samples and which you use should be based off research question. Samplilng is a small amount taken frim a population to ma,ke an inference on the larger population.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-02-23 03:17:56 UTC

Something I would like to remember from Module 5 is how to choose a sampling technique for research. I learned there are various steps in a sampling process. There are 6 stage in this process. For example the third stage is to choose a sampling technique. There are two techniques, one is called the probability and the other is non-probability.

Module 5 - Cristina Garcia

007696436 — 2023-02-23 05:33:56 UTC

For this weeks lecture, I learned about sampling and how it takes part in a research article. Some of the sampling methods that I learned about are probability, nonprobability, cluster, and stratified. The correct method must be used when needed to avoid sampling errors and ethical issues. Sampling is a great tool that (when used correctly) can be beneficial by reducing the amount of time and also the cost with data collection, entry, and data analysis because the study is being conducted on a selected sample population rather then the entire population.

Module 2 Lecture Summary

007960752 — 2023-02-23 18:56:46 UTC

In this module, I learned about the importance of research and formulating a good research question. There are variables in research. An Independent variable is what is manipulated in the study whereas a dependent variable is the measured effect or outcome. There are also different types of data qualitative and quantitative. A brief difference is that qualitative is experiences in the words of those who are participating in the study. Quantitative is studying patterns and data sets of study being conducted.

Module 5 Lecture Summary

007960752 — 2023-02-23 19:15:21 UTC

Sampling is an important tool in gathering data in the research process. There are different techniques for selecting a representative sample. What is your population of interest? Can you sample the entire population? There are probability and non-probability samples. Probability samples are randomized and can be generalized to the target population. Non-probability samples are not randomized and consist of convenience, they can only be generalized to the specific area being sampled. Probability sampling techniques are generally preferred, they are more likely to result in a representative sampling. A large sample is desired as size increases, error decreases.

Rachel Jacobs Module 5

2023-02-23 21:33:18 UTC

Module 5 explains the importance of sampling--creating a sample of participants to use in a study. While it is possible to conduct a study with the entire population, if the population was small or if you had enough money and resources, most often than not, studies must use a sample size of a population rather than the whole group. There are many types of sampling methods within the nonprobability and probability methods that researchers can use depending on the needs they have for their study. An important consideration to remember about sampling is that sampling is not perfect, there is always room for sampling error which is completely natural and unavoidable. The best way to try to avoid a sampling error is to increase the sample size.

Ledezma - Module 5 summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-02-24 04:01:54 UTC

For this week's lecture I learned about the two types of sampling methods and the three different types of random sampling. The two types of sampling methods that were discussed within the lecture were probability and nonprobability samples. Probability samples contain some sort of randomization and can consist of simple, stratified, systematic, cluster, and sequential types. While nonprobability lacks randomization and consists of accidental, purposive, quota, and expert types. Something I didn’t know is that there were three different types of random samplings, which are simple random, systematic random, and stratified random sampling. Something that I will take with me is the fact that sampling is not perfect and there is always room for sampling errors. All in all, the information that I learned from this week's lecture was very informative and really helped understand how sampling works.

Module 5 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-02-24 20:29:52 UTC

This week, I learned more about the difference between quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods are typically questionnaires and surveys and have a high number of participants. Qualitative methods include interviews and observations, where we get a more in-depth look at the "how" and "'why" of their behaviors. I am still a little confused about the difference in probability and non-probability samplings, but the document we read for class helped a lot, so I will definitely refer back to that document throughout the rest of the semester.

Mishon: Module 5 Lecture Summary

2023-02-24 21:09:42 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned that sampling is a process in statistical analysis where researchers take a predetermined number of observations from a larger population. The sampling method depends on the analysis type but may include simple random or systematic sampling.
Different sampling methods, consideration for sampling, and ethical concerns in sampling. Selecting sample probability samples vs. nonprobability samples. Nonprobability involves convenience sampling, quota sampling, and purposive. I will also keep in the forefront of my mind that when conducting good and ethical research requires considering the sample for the study and ensuring that it is appropriate for answering the research questions and representative of the population where generalizability is concerned.

Vanessa Barragan Mod 5 Summary

2023-02-25 02:30:43 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned about sampling. I learned that sampling is important in research because it provides researchers to collect important data to represent with population. I also learned in the PowerPoint that there are two types of sampling. Probability samples can be generalized to the target population. Nonprobability samples can be generalized where the sample was studied. Lastly, I learned the different examples there are for sampling in detail which I do not want to forget for my research paper for this course.

VALERIE Perez Module 5

2023-02-25 04:38:19 UTC

Module 5 teaches us about sampling. Sampling is when you choose smaller nore specific groups of populations in order to get a more concise answer to your research. There is different types of sampling and there is also probability and nonprobability. These methods are used because sometimes in research it is harder to ask every single person in a population what their answer result would be. Sampling is needed in order to get more thorough results to research rather than having biased opinions and have a one sided answer to a question.

Gabriela Diego Module 5 summary

2023-02-25 16:57:34 UTC

In this weeks lecture I understood the importance of sampling. The two types of samples that was described was probability and nonprobability. From my understanding, probability sampling includes simple random, cluster, systematic etc. these types of samples Nonprobability sampling includes samples such as quota, snowball, convenience, etc. Regardless of the type of sampling used, we take in considerations for sampling and ethical issues. We should also look at the type of research and select the appropriate sample to be used for the study so that it answers our research question.

Cristyan Macias Module 5

007794248 — 2023-02-25 18:07:28 UTC

In this module we learned about sampling we we went into detail of both probability and non-probability sampling. Probability sampling is when all people have the possibility of being part of the data being (relativly) random. With non-probability it is when we get data from volunteers, accidental data, etc. One of the most important things that I learned from this lesson was that without proper sampling techniques data can be bias.

Marlene Quijada Module 5

2023-02-25 18:15:26 UTC

In this module we went over sampling and the importance of the different kinds of sampling. The two that we covered in the notes were probability and non-probability. Probability samples contain randomization and can consist of simple, stratified, systemic, cluster, and sequential types. Non-probability lacks randomization and consists of accidental, purposive, quota, and expert types. It is important to note that sampling is not the most accurate and the best way to avoid error is to have a larger sample size.

Kasandra Carrillo Module 5

2023-02-25 20:18:24 UTC

In this weeks lecture we went over sampling and the importance of it. I learned that it's an important part in research methods but most important in applied research. The two types of samples that were explained were probability samples and nonprobability samples. Probability sampling has to do with a random selection withing a whole group. Nonprobability sampling involves a non-random selection. Overall this weeks lecture was very informative and helped me understand how sampling works and the different types of sampling there is.

Destiny Marin Jimenez Module 5

2023-02-25 21:30:51 UTC

In this module, I learned about the different types of sampling such as probability samples and non-probability samples. Probability samples contain randomization and contain of simple, systematic, cluster and sequential types. Non-probability lacks randomization and consists gif convenience, quota, volunteer and purposive types. We went into detail for every one of them and went through examples for practice and a deeper understanding.

004526027 — 2023-02-25 22:50:18 UTC

Literature reviews are used to gain an understanding of the existing literature on a topic, identify gaps in knowledge, and inform the direction of future research. How to conduct literature reviews has been a challenge for me because I typically have a broad range of ideas and don't really know how to form a main idea. Knowing that keywords are important to narrow down what your research topic is in order to get more specific articles. Making sure you are using reliable sources is also as important to gain access to empirical research on the matter.

004526027 — 2023-02-25 23:03:34 UTC

When conducting research, you want to ensure that you are providing participants with clear and accurate information about the research and obtaining consent. As a researcher, do no harm to research participants by minimizing risks and avoiding ethical violations. Beneficence is also part of conducting ethical research, which pertains to performing in the best interest of research participants by striving to provide benefits, minimize risks, and maximize benefits-to-risk ratios. Lastly, treat research participants fairly and equitably.

Fabiola vasquez module 5

2023-02-25 23:04:40 UTC

This week I learned the importance of sampling in applied research studies. There are two types of samples probability and nonprobability. Probability sample can de divided into simple, stratified, systematic, cluster and sequential types. Depending on who you want to conduct your research will depend on which type of sample you will use. I also learned about sample errors and how to minimize them.

Module 5

008024283 — 2023-02-25 23:08:23 UTC

Module 5 was about the elements of a good and ethical research design. Applied Research Methods is by using scientific methods to investigate child development and to apply findings to improve the well- being and functions of children. The research tool box includes five concepts which are true experiments, quasi-experiments, correlational research, survey design, and qualitative research. There is many different sampling methods: probability, nonprobability, convenience, creative, random, systematic, statified, and cluster. Probability samples is the ideal sampling method.

Maria Rojas Module 5 lecture summary

2023-02-25 23:17:59 UTC

For this weeks lecture, I understood how important sampling is in any type of field wether it is early childhood, humanities, or any field where it requires research. Sampling is a tool that helps researchers gather data and find interests depending on the participants doing the sample. I learned of the two ways to select samples. The first one was the probability sample and the second one was the non probability sample. I enjoyed learning more on the different types of methods to sample but specifically the cluster sample and seeing how that was done. When conducting samples, it is important to note that errors can occur and to be careful with ethical issues.

Module 5 Summary Karen Olmos

2023-02-26 00:11:57 UTC

For this weeks lecture, I learned how important sampling can be for research studies. To be more specific I learned about probability and non-probability. Probability samples have simple, systematic clusters while non-probability doesn't choose randomly but consist more of a selection. Without the right sampling techniques the data can become biased, which is not what we want when looking at a research study.

Module 5 Shyanne Thomas

2023-02-26 00:13:51 UTC

This weeks lecture covered the importance of sampling and choosing what type of sampling should be used for qualitative or quantitative data. there are 2 main categories for sampling and they are probability and non probability. when deciding what type of sampling technique to use it depends on what you are looking to answer with your research question, the population and the convenience of collecting a representation of the population. some samples can contain bias and others do not. we also discussed sampling errors and how best to avoid them by having a larger sample size.

Daisy Pompa

2023-02-26 01:46:39 UTC

This module covers how to create a research question and idea or directional question along known as the hypothesis, then you find the predictions. There is also a lot of clarity in literature review and its purpose and how to dissect the article. The module covers the importance of Sampling and how it plays as a tool for researchers and the is a group from the population. Sampling helps reduce bias in the research. There are also different types of sampling and there are certain things that are used such as probability and non-probability sampling, non probability is the most common in qualitative research. When choosing a sampling technique you need to think which is best to use and take in the sampling errors that you can come across. As well as risks and ethical concerns that come with sampling.

Jesus Leon: Module 5 Lecture Summary

2023-02-26 02:48:38 UTC

In the lecture of this week, we learned about sampling and its importance. I learned the difference between probability samples and non-probability samples. For example in probability sampling, it contains some type of randomization and consist of simple, stratified, systematic, cluster and sequential types. It is also vital to know that this sample is more generalized to a targeted population. In the other hand, non probability sample, it lacks randomization and consist of convenience or accidental, purposive, quota, volunteer, and expert types. This sample is also only more generalized to the institution.

Module 5-Valeria M.

2023-02-26 03:13:59 UTC

In this week’s module, we reviewed and went over the types of experiments and research designs. We also learned about sampling, how there are two important types of sampling, probability and nonprobability. It is important that we figure out the appropriate sample size for any study we have.

Module 5- Monsserrath Virgen

2023-02-26 04:25:31 UTC

In the lecture for this week on sampling and elements of a good & ethical research design, was very informational. Going over the different sampling methods was helpful in order to get a better idea in regards to research. One of the examples of a convenience example made me realize of how sampling is used in our "every day." For example being approached by someone outside of a store with a survey. After learning that this is a way of finding people to participate because they are in a location near you are accessible to you. I thought that this was very interesting and was an example that I related to.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-02-26 04:32:41 UTC

Without proper sampling techniques can lead to incorrect resources and bias information. Probability sampling contain some type of randomization and contain of simple, stratified, systematic, cluster, and sequential types. Non probability samples lack randomization and consist of convenience or accidental, purposive, and expert types. There is convenient and creative sampling. Sometimes its too expensive to have a sample spread out. Cluster sampling divides the population and allows you able to collect a larger amount and different populations. Cluster sampling can be less sufficient because its more in large samplings rather than small samplings. Sampling can increase our accuracy through research.

Luz Iribe Perez

2023-02-26 04:56:15 UTC

For this week's lecture we learned about sampling distribution and the overview of Sampling Approaches. I enjoyed reviewing probability and non-probability samples. I think back when we learned about probability at a young age and now learning about different samples make more sense. Sampling is very important when it comes to research and should include diversity of the population. I learned today that sampling error can occur is some cases. A large sample is desired and can also decrease the chances of sampling error from happening.

carmichaeljada — 2023-02-26 05:05:10 UTC

This week’s lecture we went over sampling distribution. Which is probability of something that is taken and obtained through sampling. It is used to describe the range of possible outcomes. I found this weeks lecture to be very interesting. I also went through my CITI training. That was also very interesting.

Yessenia Rubio- Module 5

2023-02-26 05:33:45 UTC

In this week’s lesson I learned more about what research sampling is and why it is important for research. A sample can be taken from a big population and simply it to a fee from that generalization. The sampling method of nonprobability example is of a convenience. The other sampling method is probability and it’s examples are systematic sampling and stratified sampling.

Jasmin Garcia

2023-02-26 05:34:18 UTC

Sampling is an important tool for applied researchers because it allow them to gather data from a representative sample from the population of interaction when helping to draw conclusions and make informed decisions about the people involved. There are two samples techniques and each one of them includes some sample methods:

Probability Sampling
* Simple random
*Stratified random
*Cluster sampling
* Systematic sampling
*Multi stage sampling

Non-probability Sampling
*Quota sampling
*Snowball sampling
*Judgment sampling
*Convenience sampling

Sampling methods

007298207 — 2023-02-26 06:05:23 UTC

I learned about 5 different sampling methods in this lecture. The 5 listed were stratified, simple/ random, convenience, systematic, and clustered. Probability samples were most likely to be useful compared to non-probability samples. Probability samples are random samples that can be generalized to a target audience whereas non-probability samples are not at random, which may have more bias if it based on convenience. Non-probability can be used for quota sampling if the study wants to focus on representing a group or characteristic. It is important that you choose your sampling method in relation to the question you are asking or searching for.

Module 4 Summary : Isabel Chavez

2023-02-26 06:06:49 UTC

During this weeks module it really interested me how in-depth we went about literature review. I found this very interesting because it relates to our course so much. As well as it being information good to know for the future. I also enjoyed reading the article and the way participants matter. The reason being is because they are not suppose to receive harm in any way. It made me think what happens when participants do get harmed during a research.

research assignment

2023-02-26 06:38:52 UTC

what are possible topics that we can choose from in early education?

Joanna Contreras Module 5

2023-02-26 06:49:24 UTC

What was interesting this module was how sampling worked and applied. The importance of sampling gives more credibility by reducing bias for the research. Smaller sample sizes are needed because it’s unlikely to sample an entire population, but you can get a generalized idea with smaller populations. I also enjoyed the explanations of probability samples and nonprobability samples, and with the many variations of sampling.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-02-26 06:58:07 UTC

This week I learned about sampling. We rely on sampling which is a subset of a larger population we are interested. We use these samples to draw inferences to the larger population. sampling can be generalized to the population we are studying. We also learned about different types of sampling ,Probability or non-probability.

Sasha G: Module 5 Summary

2023-02-26 06:58:33 UTC

In this week's module, I learned how important sampling is. It shows us how to gather data and shows us the process from beginning to end. It's important that we know how sampling works because there are different kinds of it. The one that caught my eye about sampling was the sample components. Which are, sampling frame, sampling unit, and representative sample. It shows us how it represents the population, or the research question provided. Sampling shows us how important it is for researchers because it allows them to gather their information from a sample. Overall, this weeks module gave me an understanding on how important sampling is.

Sarah Baltazar

2023-02-26 07:28:36 UTC

This week I learned the difference between the different types of sampling and how important it is to know the difference and when to choose the correct type of sampling on a particular population. As probability sampling involves random selection. Non- probability sampling is more biased.

Lily Gomez

2023-02-26 07:40:42 UTC

In this module I learned more about the ethics about research and when to use them while conducting research. I think that this is importance to keep in mind especially when the research might include children. Another thing was that I learned and liked was was knowing more about the respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. I have heard of them prior but not really understood what they meant.

Lily Gomez

2023-02-26 07:58:19 UTC

In this module I learned the importance of sampling. For example how to find the population of interest and if it’s going to be a probability sample or a non probability sample. A probability sample is random while a non probability same is not random. Which is important since you want to know who you are going to be researching and who will best fit.

Ashley Meza : Module 5 summary

006409542 — 2023-02-26 17:58:23 UTC

In this weeks module, I learned about the different types of sampling and the importance of knowing the difference when it comes to choosing a type of sampling. There is probability sampling and that is random selection and there is non - probability sampling and that is more biased. We mainly use these samples for generalizing the population we are studying and inferences of large populations.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-02-27 00:19:32 UTC

I am a bit confused on how to identify the IV and DV.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-02-27 00:21:21 UTC

This weeks module was interesting to me. I liked learning about the process of doing research. There are various steps to take when doing research and a specific way that should be followed. Also that there are different types of research, basic and applied.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-02-27 00:26:22 UTC

In this weeks lecture, we went over research ethics and the importance it has when doing research. I personally believe it is important to learn about this because when we do research we have to keep in mind the different cultures that there are out there and their beliefs. The answers we get may also depends on those beliefs.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-02-27 00:29:52 UTC

In this lecture, I learned about sampling as well as the types of research designs. There are two types of sampling such as probability and non probability. We should always keep in mind the sample size for any study we might do.

007938262 — 2023-02-27 07:05:02 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned about FINER and IRB meaning that will help develop good research. F-feasible, I-interesting, N-novel, E-ethical, and R-relevant. IRB is an institutional review board approved research if they are not harmful to others. There are steps on a research question and how to support it.

Desi P.

2023-02-27 18:00:56 UTC

One thing that stuck out this week was in reference to sampling. First we must find our population of interest, then we must select whether we are going to do probablitly samples which is generalized to target population, or nonprobablity which can only be generalized to site area or institution.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 6 Lecture Summary

2023-02-28 04:55:30 UTC

In this week's lecture, we covered operationalizing and measurement. I learned about the different levels of measurement which are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Nominal= categorical, no ranking. Ordinal= ranks on a scale, numerical degrees. Interval= ranks with equal distance, no true zero point. Ratio= ranks with equal distance, true zero point. I also learned about determining the quality of measurement through validity and reliability. Overall, the measurement process includes four steps which are conceptually defining the construct, operationally defining the construct, implementing the measure, and evaluating the measure.

Diana Olivares: Module 6 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-02-28 06:03:49 UTC

In this week’s lecture we touched upon operationalization, measurement, and conceptualization. I learned that measurement is the process by which we describe and ascribe meaning to the key concepts and facts we are investigating, in which variables can be measured at four different levels. There are different levels of measurement which include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio measures. Researchers evaluate measures by two criteria by the extent to which it provides reliable and valid scores. A takeaway from this lecture is the measurement process of conceptualization, operationalization, implementation, and evaluation.

Module 6 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-02-28 06:55:50 UTC

This week, I learned that there are two different types of validity, and good study has both. There is internal validity, which is when the study itself is valid, and there is external validity when the study can be generalized and applied to real-life and the general population. I also learned that it is important to operationally define all aspects, especially constructs. There are four steps of the measurement process: conceptionally define the construct, operationally define the construct, collect data/implement the measure, and then evaluate the measure/data by determining its reliability and validity.

Estefani Canseco: Module 5 Lecture Summary

2023-02-28 20:19:31 UTC

In this module I learned about sampling and the importance of it. In which every research study has to be concerned with what population the findings could be generalized to with high validity, reliability, and accuracy. I also learned about the difference of probability samples and nonprobability samples and their preferred methods. I thought this module was interesting to me because it is important to know who you are researching and who will fit best.

Mod 6 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-02-28 23:48:11 UTC

In the lecture videos I leaned about the importance of measurements. There are four ways to measure in research and those are: Nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. I also learned about sampling techniques such as probability and non-probability. probability isa simple random sampling where individuals are randomly selected from a larger population. Whereas nonprobability is use of set of individuals that represent the population as a whole. Samples should be representing the population if not you can run into sampling error. Sampling error which happens when the sample is not representing the whole population.

Halie White module 6 summary

2023-03-01 00:01:04 UTC

Something that I wand to keep in mind is the levels of measurement. Ratio has an absolute zero. Interval is also numbers but no zero. Ordinal is ranking like first, second, ect. Lastly, nominal is just a lable that doesn't have a meaning. Ratio is the one that can have a combination of the rest and nominal can only be nominal.

Celeste A

2023-03-01 01:10:03 UTC

In the lecture this week I learned what internal validity and external validity means and how it relates to generalizability. They are also related. I also learned the four steps of the measurement process which are conceptional defining the construct, operational define the construct, collect data/implement the measurements, and evaluate the measure by finding if it is valid or reliable. Operationalization includes choosing a variable and a research sample .

Vanessa Barragan Mod 6 Summary

2023-03-01 01:10:45 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned about probability sampling and nonprobability sampling. As I was reading the PowerPoint I found it interesting and informative. I also got to learn more about level measurements in the research. For example, there are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. I would like to keep in mind internal validity and external validity. Internal validity is the true cause of the outcomes that we have observed during our research study. External validity addresses the ability to generalize our very own study and explain it to people.

Module 6 Summary

007960752 — 2023-03-01 20:24:45 UTC

This week reviewed probability and non-probability sampling techniques. I learned about measurement, types of measures, levels of measurement, and evaluating measures. There are four steps in the measurement process. 1) Conceptually define the construct which can be an idea, concept, or abstraction. 2) Operationally define the construct using an existing measure or creating your own. 3) Implementing the measure. 4) Evaluating the measure.

marlene quijada: module 6 summary

2023-03-01 20:43:13 UTC

This week we went over operationalizing, measurement, and conceptualization. There are different levels of measurement. Nominal being categorical, ordinal that ranks on a scale, interval ranks with equal distance, and ratio ranks with equal distance and true zero point. The process has 4 steps that are conceptually defining the construct, operationally defining the construct, implementing the measure, and evaluating the measure. Along with learning about the two different types which is internal and external.

Adrian Avina

2023-03-02 00:54:51 UTC

In this week's lecture, we learn about validity. When it comes to validity there are two types that can be discussed, internal and external validity. We also touch on measurements that are involved in research, and with this, there are also quite a few types. Some of them are ratio, ordinal, or nominal. These are all important when it comes to our own research.

Destiny Marin Jimenez Module 6

2023-03-02 02:33:24 UTC

in this module, I learned the levels of measurement which are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Nominal are named variables or labels, ordinal are variables with attributes that can be rank ordered, interval is when zero value doesn't mean that nothing is present, and ratio is when zero value has its true meaning that nothing is present. I also learned the qualities of measurement such as reliability and validity.

Cynthia Tarazon

2023-03-02 03:52:59 UTC

Something that stood out to me this week was how we use sampling in our everyday lives without really noticing it. Having to find people who are interested and accessible to you in your location is like when being asked to take a survey for someones class or even outside a market.

Cynthia Tarazon module 6 summary

2023-03-02 04:12:03 UTC

In this module learning about levels of measurement really stood out to me. This would be ratio which has an absolute zero. Ordinal is ranking from first to second and so on. Interval is numbers but does not include zero. Nominal is a variable named or label.

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-02 05:28:54 UTC

This weeks topics we learned more about the elements of research like the concepts, constructs, and variables. Also different levels of measurement, and what the criteria of measurement quality entails. It’s also important to note that citing means in the body of the paper and in the reference list at the end. Another thing to note are sampling techniques such as probability sampling and non probability.
Construct is a variable that can’t be observed directly. Like an idea or concept like discrimination or mental health. Whereas concept is an idea that you wish to study. Operational provides clarity and allows for replication, which is essentially the methods part. Some types of measures that can be done are self report measures, behavioral measures, and physiological measures.

Cristina Garcia- Module 6

007696436 — 2023-03-02 05:37:07 UTC

In module 6 I went over a sampling review of how to evaluate generalizability as well as sampling error and sampling techniques (probability and non probability sampling). On the next videos, I learned about measurement and operationalizing (psychological constructs, types of measures, how to measure, and the measurement process) Within the measurement process I gasped on validity and reliability. The way the lecture summaries are organized and explained really made it easier for me to learn and apply this to my final project.

Ledezma - M6 summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-03-02 20:19:00 UTC

Something that stood out to me and I don't want to forget is how to demonstrate the quality of measurements through reliability and validity. The extent to which the same research methodologies applied to the same item/subject will yield the same results is referred to as reliability. This, however, does not guarantee accuracy; just because a measure is reliable does not mean it is accurate. For validity, it is the amount to which our measure reflects what we believe or want them to measure. I learned that there are two types of validity which are internal and external validity. Something that I feel like I have to work on more because I was having difficult with them is the levels of measurement: ratio, interval, ordinal and nominal.

Cristina Serrato: Module 6 Summary

2023-03-02 20:29:15 UTC

For this week's lecture, I learned the importance of measurement when conducting research. Within measurement, there are four levels that need to be considered: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio. Another element I learned about measurement, is the four step process. We were introduced to conceptualization, operationalization, implementation and evaluation. All of these are equally important to consider when managing a research study.

Rachel Jacobs Module 6

2023-03-02 20:37:18 UTC

This week's lecture was focusing on measurement. Measurement is important to our class because when doing research, we need to use measurement to get reliable data when answering our research question. We learn the four levels of measurement, nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio which matter because the level helps us figure out how to interpret our data and what is most appropriate. It is also important to note the importance of evaluating the quality of our measurement through reliability and validity. If our measure is not reliable, it is not valid.

Brenda popoca

2023-03-02 21:15:49 UTC

How do I know which is the best probability technique to use in my Research?

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-02 21:30:00 UTC

During this weeks assignments, something that stood out to me was the research toolbox. Different experiments mean different ways of getting your info. Also another thing that’s important to note is the importance of sampling. It needs to be valid, reliable, and accurate. Probability and non probability sampling are great examples in figuring out what sampling methods to use. However convenience sampling is all about the availability and how easy it is to find people to participate.

Brenda popoca

2023-03-02 22:04:35 UTC

In this weeks lecture we learned about good and ethical research. It’s important to know the risk and benefits for the research participants. So much so that there are guidelines that researchers follow to answer their questions. One thing that stood out to me are the steps in generating a great research question. First by stating your topic, then imply your question and then give rationale.

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-02 22:21:20 UTC

In this weeks assignments, we learned about the basic steps in the scientific method which if done correctly it should be able to be replicated. Literature review can be done in a journal article, that’s usually follows the introduction of a study. Also the purpose of a literature review is to gather what has been done and what still needs to be done. But there are guidelines such as only reviewing work that is related to our topic and that it does not include everything, and is it based on a theory or scholarly work?

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-02 22:32:05 UTC

During this weeks assignments, we learned about the languages of research. We learned why it is so important for this type of research for therapists, clinicians, and social workers for example. It helps us to understand research and to distinguish good research from the bad. An independent variable is the one being manipulated. Dependent variable is what is being measured. IV=manipulated DV=being measured
Control variable is confounding factors.

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-02 22:33:13 UTC

Can the independent variable also be a dependent variable?

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-02 22:42:18 UTC

For this week we went over the aspects of a learning community. It is inclusive, shares similar goals and attitudes, members meet regularly, and fosters growth throw intentional collaboration with each other. Basic research answers fundamental questions about the nature of behavior. Whereas applied research is addressing issues that are practical problems and potential solutions. Basic research- ex: how does negative performance stereotypes affect learning? Applied Research ex: how do our early childhood experiences affect our lives later?

Erika Smith - Module 5

2023-03-03 02:48:39 UTC

Lecture 5 taught me about the importance of Sampling. I learned the types of Probability Samples: Simple, Stratified, Systematic, Cluster and Sequential. I also learned about the types of Nonprobability Samples; which lacks from randomization; which are: Convenience or accidental, Purposive, Quota, Volunteer and Expert. It was interesting to learn that in order to reduce sampling error, it is important to increase the sample size, replicate the study and utilize random sampling. The last important information in Lecture 5 were the areas included for the Research question; which they are: Child health, Education, Parenting and family dynamics, Social and emotional development.

Module 5: Claudia Alejandre

2023-03-03 02:58:39 UTC

One takeaway from module 5 lecture is the information provided about the importance of sampling. Especially how time and resources play a role in how research is conducted since its expensive to study a large population. This week I learned about the different types of sampling. For example, simple random, cluster, and systematic sampling.

Erika - Smith Module 6

2023-03-03 03:33:14 UTC

Lecture 6 taught me about Measurements which is the assignment of scores to individuals, in order to the scores to represent some characteristic of the individuals. Also, what are the types of measures: Self-report measures, behavioral measures, physiological measures. I learned about the difference between Concepts and Constructs. Additionally, I learned why the levels of measurement are important; which it is that it helps to decide how to interpret the data and what statistical analysis is appropriate. I acquired the knowledge of the levels of measurements, which are: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio. Finally, I learned the four steps in the measurement process.

week 5

2023-03-03 06:07:24 UTC

Kylie Thomas
This weeks module showed the importance of creating a research question as well as the idea of a directional question leading into a hypothesis. After cresting the question and having a hypothesis you will find the results or have the predictions. Also in this module there was the importance of sampling and the type of sample that would be used in quantitative and qualitative data.

week 6

2023-03-03 06:23:28 UTC

Kylie Thomas
This week in lecture we got more into sampling specifically probability sampling. This reminds me of statistics with the random probability from a sample that allows to have more data. All of this data is within the collecting data and constructing the overall research points as well as seeing the validity of the data.

Module 6 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-03-03 16:40:35 UTC

Module 6 allowed me to gain a better understanding of measurements, as it’s a process that happens within multiple stages of a research project: the planning stage, the data collection stage, and at times the analysis stage. In addition, it’s seen as an assignment of scores that represents some characteristics of individuals. With this, a key takeaway was learning about construct, a variable that can’t be directly observed as it's seen as an idea and/or abstraction, meaning that one can create things based on observations but cannot directly or indirectly observe them. This idea can be seen with gender, as gender presentation can be directly observed while a checkbox asking about one's gender is indirectly observed. Aside from construct, when looking at a topic one is interested in, concept is also present as it is the idea one wants to study.

Module 6 Summary Shyanne Thomas

2023-03-03 19:39:54 UTC

This week we covered measurement and different aspects of measurement. we also covered constructs and concepts looking at what is observable, indirectly observable and operationally defining a construct. we broke down the types of measurement, levels of measurement and when to use them in qualitative or quantitative research. Lastly, learning how to determine the quality of measurement with reliability and validity. their are 4 steps to the measurement process which all depends are your research topic.

Module 6: Claudia Alejandre

2023-03-03 21:59:36 UTC

The takeaway from module 6 is the process of measurement and how to implement it into our research topic. I learned the four levels of measurement, ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal. I also learned the difference between concept and construct. The review of the independent and dependent variable is always helpful as well.

Module 6 was about learning the levels of measurements ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal. Have to keep look out for external validity and external validity. Also was able to learn the different aspects of construct by data. The importance of research study comes with conceptualization, implementation, operationalization, and evaluation.

Ashley Meza - Module 6 summary

006409542 — 2023-03-04 02:37:40 UTC

For module 6, I learned about the 4 levels of measurements ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal and how to use them depending on what my research topic is about. This helps to interpret data and note important quality of measurements through reliability and validity. Reliability referring to consistency of a measure and validity is the accuracy of the a measure.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 6

2023-03-04 04:27:31 UTC

From this week's lesson, the message that stuck to me was about the four levels of measurements. The four being nominal, ratio, interval, and ordinal. Knowing the four levels of measurement is important because you can narrow down which one you use depending on the research being conducted. I was also able to review independent and dependent variables. I also learned more about probability and nonprobability samples. The difference being that probability sampling methods have a sampling frame, whereas nonprobability sampling methods do not. Going over the different types of probability and nonprobability samples was also a great review.

Sasha G (Module 6)

2023-03-04 06:08:41 UTC

In this week's module, I learned that it is important to know the measurements and how it works. There are different types of measures and it can be broken down by the levels. Research plays a big role because it is how we view it. I also learned that it is important that we know how a research ethical design works. It allows us to gather our data and put it all together. I found it interesting that we got to view probability and non probability sampling. It shows us the takeaways that both samplings have.

Mishon-Module 6 Lecture Summary

2023-03-04 16:28:26 UTC

The conceptual description of a construct enables various different operational definitions or techniques of measurement, which stood out to me in this week's program.
Variables may be assessed on four different levels.
The four stages required to theoretically and practically define the concept using a pre-existing metric, creating your own measure, using the measure, and assessing the measure.
Moreover, a construct is just an idea, concept, or theoretical notion that has multiple identifiers known as measurable variables in psychology.

Gabriela Diego Module Summary 6

2023-03-04 20:10:30 UTC

This weeks lecture was interesting to me because data types and measurements were being discussed and in a way correlates to statistics which is an interest of mine. After a refresher of the research inquiry cycle, we were introduced to measurement, which is a systematic procedure for assigning scores to people so that those scores represent the characteristics that we are interested in as well as different variables. The four levels of measurement are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. These were difficult for me to understand at first but after reading the article, "Data Types in Statistics" I was able to distinguish nominal and ordinal into 'categorical' and interval and ratio into 'numerical.' Lastly we have to show that our measure works, so we determine the quality of our measurement with two distinct criteria, reliability and validity.

Maria Rojas Module 6 lecture summary

2023-03-04 21:05:51 UTC

This weeks lecture I learned the importance measurement and how social scientists measure. The ways social scientists measure can be by three ways. The first one being a direct observation followed by indirect observation, and lastly with constructs. Something that I liked was the example that was used on how to measure stress. It was interesting to see the different ways we are able to do this which can be either: environmental, self-report, behavior, or experimentally induced. Another important key that stuck to me were the level measurements. These were the nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. It was interesting to learn the differences between each of these levels.

Module 5

007669461 — 2023-03-04 21:32:19 UTC

This week we learned about sampling. I had no idea how far your options are for how you will sample your research. There are a total of 5 diffrent sampling methods. These samples are random, systematic, convenience, cluster, and stratified. A random sample is basically explained just as the name states it. You’re sampling random people that are randomly chosen. According to the video we watched this week this method is the most common one. Systematic method is when people are chosen on a systemic pattern. For example, if there’s a population of 100 people the person chosen would be every other person. A a convenience sample is choosing people, conveniently. For example, standing outside a store, asking people to participate in a survey would be considered a convenient sample. I’m a cluster sample a population is divided into “clusters” and then chosen from that smaller group. Lastly, a stratified sample is collected by choosing a population by sub-groups. Overall, I gained this week how important it is to know different types of sampling methods because it could make a huge difference in whatever it is your researching.

Jenae Arias Mod. 6

2023-03-04 21:45:40 UTC

This weeks lecture for me was very interesting and a refreshment for me. I have previously heard of statistical measures but I feel as though after this lecture I am better able to understand its importance. Measurement is important because it gives the representation of characteristics of the study. There are 4 levels of measurement and the one I remembered most was nominal, which is easier to remember in categories. The only thing that still does confuse me is the difference ratio and numerical and when it should be used.

VALERIE PEREZ Module 6

2023-03-04 21:52:29 UTC

This week we cover more sampling, and we also cover topics such as measurement. We are given the options of what type of sampling is needed for population. We also go over Internal and External Validity. We are also taught about the different types of measurements in data.

Jesus Leon: Module 6 Summary

2023-03-04 23:57:53 UTC

In this week I learned about measurement and its importance. For example measurement is important because it helps to decide how to interpret the data and as well what statistical analysis is the best. Not only that but we also learned about the levels of measurement which are; Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, and Ratio.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-03-05 00:19:13 UTC

For this week, my mind was refreshed about statistical measures. There are four level of measurement which are ordinal, nominal, ratio and interval. I had learned about these in a previous class before so learning about them again helped me gain a better understanding of them in this lecture.

Daisy Pompa

2023-03-05 00:56:38 UTC

Does the type of measurement we use affect the type of sampling we will use? How do we know what type of measurement and sampling to use for each measurement?

Cristyan Macias Module 6 Summary

007794248 — 2023-03-05 02:32:15 UTC

In this week, we were provided with lectures on measurement. One thing that I found pretty interesting was the different types of measures for operational definition. Another topic that I was trying to get a grasp on was the difference on what variables will stand for. Slide 41 was very beneficial on describing the differences between ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal.

Cristyan Macias

007794248 — 2023-03-05 02:36:14 UTC

I am just a little confused on the slide 25 for concept vs construct.

Desi p

2023-03-05 02:50:33 UTC

Of the topics discussed this week I found most interesting is the levels of measurement and how measurement needs a plan of action to for assigning scores to either an individual or an object and these are the measurement levels we learned nominal, ordinal, interval, and ration.

Module 5

007221221 — 2023-03-05 02:57:39 UTC

In this weeks lecture, we talked about sampling. We talked about population and how important it is that our findings reflect the population accurately. There are considerations when it comes time to choose our sampling method and it all comes down to who and what the population is. There are probability samples (represents pop.) which are: Simple-random, systemic, stratified and cluster sampling. And lastly there are non-probability samples (theoretical contributions) which include: Purposive, snowball, quota and convenience.

Module 6

007221221 — 2023-03-05 03:06:20 UTC

In this module, our focus was on conceptualization, operationalization and measurement. In Conceptualization, we take constructs in define them in concrete terms. Constructs are ideas that cannot be observed directly (mental health, discrimination). Operationalization involves spelling out precisely how a concept will be measured. Some measurements may include, Self-reporting, behavioral measurements and physiological measurements. In measurements, we are assigning scores to represent characteristics. A qualitative measurement is nominal and quantitative measurements are ordinal, interval, and ratio.

Module 6

008024283 — 2023-03-05 03:28:43 UTC

Module 6 consists of the elements of a good and ethical research design which includes conceptualization, operationalization, and measurements. Generalizability is when we can take the findings of our study and apply them to the larger population. Two things come into fact when talking about generalizability which are internal validity and external validity. Sampling techniques fall into two categories, probability sampling and non-probability sampling. Measurement is the assignment of scores to individuals so that the scores represent some characteristic of the individuals. A construct is a variable that cannot be observed directly like an idea, concept or abstraction. The four steps in the measurement process are:
1. Conceptually defining the construct

2. Operationally defining the construct
- using an existing measure
- creating your own measure

3. Implementing the measure

4. Evaluating the measure

Yessenia Rubio- Module 6

2023-03-05 03:46:12 UTC

This week's lesson we were given more information about measurement. There are four types of measurement: ordinal, nominal, ration and interval. I was not aware of how many different types of measurement there were, so this was interesting for me to learn about. These different measurements help social scientists organize data and characterize the study by representatives.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-05 04:05:56 UTC

What I learned this week was what research was on the steps that it takes for it. For example it would be to describe the behavior, predict, determine the causes and understand or explain. Another thing was deductive versus the inductive research approach. For it deductive it will start off by theory, hypothesis, observation and confirmation. As for inductive it would be observation, pattern, intentive hypothesis and theory. The difference between the two is the deductive is like a waterfall an inductive is like a climbing a hill.

Jasmin Garcia

2023-03-05 04:08:07 UTC

Probability Sampling includes simple random which is a randomly selection by selecting sampling frame, systematic which selects every 4th element from sampling frame, stratified which creates subgroups and randomly selects elements from each subgroups, and cluster which randomly selects clusters and then elements from those clusters.
Non-probability samples is used when researchers are conducting exploratory research. Improbability sampling, the aim to identify sample that resembles the population from which it was draw.
Independent variables: is what is manipulated by the researcher, is a factor, is explanatory variable, is a treatment or cause.
dependent variable: is affected by independent variable, is measure, is response variable, it affects or outcomes.
Operational: is a variable of construct in terms of exactly how it will be measure. the types of measurements are self- report measure, behavioral measures, and physiological measures.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-05 04:09:52 UTC

And this week we went over the research inquiry process which starts off with identifying the problem, reviewing existing literature, plan research design, gather and analyze data and interpret and share. We also went along with what is the scientific method was. We talked about the general steps which were to develop a research question, design a study, carry out the study, analyze a finding and making a conclusion of what you learn. Another thing was what the difference between the independent and dependent variable was. But also have a control variable plays a factor between them too.

Lily Gomez

2023-03-05 04:20:45 UTC

In this lesson I learned the difference between concepts and constructs, and how operational definitions are used to define concepts in terms of the operations or methods used to produce and measure them. Along with that it also discussesd the levels of measurement, including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio, and how they impact data interpretation and statistical analysis. Also the review on independent and dependent vairable was needed, since I always forget which is which.

Sara Syed

2023-03-05 04:33:07 UTC

What we went over in the module was steps of the research process to answer research questions posed. We also reviewed how to APA cite. Lastly for lectures material, it went in detail on different covering testing anxiety, taking notes, and studying for test. Recording helped reinforce this by following up with research inquiry process broken down and piece by piece.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-05 04:50:34 UTC

Learn three important concepts which were hypothesis, theory and variable. I got to learn what each definition was which was the theory is a principle that describes and understands psychological or behavior and is answer on how and why questions. A hypothesis is a statement that is a prediction prior to collection of data. In a variable is a characteristic that can take different values and varies across research participants.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-03-05 04:53:59 UTC

Availability sampling is often convenient and it can be easier for the researcher. Non Probability sampling is to identify a sample that reflects the population from which it was drawn. A construct is an idea . If a study is valid it must be reliable. Operationalization involves spelling out precisely how a concept will be measured. I learned the different measures such as nominal , ordinal and how they can change the data.

Module 5 Summary : Isabel Chavez

2023-03-05 05:09:19 UTC

During this week module I learned about the different type of sampling. This was very important and interesting because they all create their own sample size and if I don't pay close attention I can get confused very easily. I also learned about the population of interest. It can be very similar to the population or even sample but it is not. The more we go on the more I feel like things can relate so much with each other but have different meaning so it can get a bit hard.

Isabel Chavez

2023-03-05 05:17:04 UTC

During this week I feel like I learned a lot. There was so much information to take in this week. One thing that I won't forget and was what sticked with me was the different data types. Which was nominal, ordinal, ratio, and interval. All these measurements are very important and similar to each other. I think the article that was given to us was very helpful because it was very clear of the definitions and gave clear examples. Also from the lecture I don't want to forget the difference between probability and non probability.

Emily Belcher

2023-03-05 05:20:23 UTC

This weeks lecture reviewed sampling, as well as concepts constructs and variables, and measurements. Sampling helps us figure out how to get our information for researching. There are two categories of sampling techniques, probability and non-probability. Measurement is the assignment of scores to individuals so that the scores represent some characteristic of the individuals. A construct is an idea, concept, or abstraction. There are four different levels of measurement.

Valeria Molina

2023-03-05 05:29:32 UTC

This week's lecture we discussed the different types of measurements in a study. We learned about reliability and validity in which a study can be reliable but not valid but a study that is valid is reliable. I like how we had many visual diagrams and definitions to accompany this week's lecture. The different types oof measurements we discussed this week were interval, nominal, ration, and ordinal. These are very important when looking at a sample in a study.

carmichaeljada — 2023-03-05 05:35:01 UTC

This weeks lecture was very interesting. We went over measurements and the importance of it. For example, norminal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Lots of different ones that were new to me but I found very interesting. Also looked more into my research project and gathered more information. This week we took in lots of information and gathered new stuff as well.

And this week I learned about the three basic ethnic principles. Which are beneficence, respect for persons and justice. At first I was confused on what beneficence was but I saw what that means that research should talk and maximize the benefits and minimize any possible harmful events. I really like the example that was given to us which was how it always its self.

Evelyn Ramirez

For this one we talked about research toolbox which was true experiments, quasi experiments, correlation research, Survey design and qualitative research. We also get to talk about sampling and the different kinds. There is the probability samples which contain some type of randomization and Consist of simple, stratus fine, systematic, cluster and sequential type. Whereas nonprobability samples lack randomization and consist of convenience or accidental, purposive, Quota, volunteer, an expert types.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-05 06:06:32 UTC

For this one what I learned was what to do to decrease sampling error. Which was the higher the population is it decreases the chance of a sampling error to occur. What are the different kinds of measurements which were ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal.

Module 6 Summary Joanna Contreras

2023-03-05 07:00:17 UTC

This lecture I learned how bias in sampling can affect the credibility of a research population. Results must be representative in order to be able to generalize. I also found operationalization intricate. I do think questioning how to measure stress was something interesting to think about because many people can rate their stressors differently and finding a way to make something thats not physically measurable measurable is intriguing.

Kasandra Carrillo- Module 6 Summary

2023-03-05 07:14:52 UTC

For this week's lecture we went over the importance of measurements in a study. I learned about the the different levels on measurements which include ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal. Determining quality of measurements was also an important part of the lesson that has to do with reliability and validity. A lot of important information was gone through this week that I found interesting and informative.

Leslie De Leon-Huey

2023-03-05 07:46:49 UTC

This week I learned about different scales of measurements that are used in studies. These scales were nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio. I feel that these measurements were relatively easy to remember because they can be categorized in two different segments and then have a pair in which they are similar to. For example, ordinal and nominal is applied to categorical value. Examples of ordinal measurements would be grades, reviews a scale that rates ones mood. Ratio and interval represent more of numerical values. Ratio would be time, age, weight. Intervals are numbers that are different but have the same distance between them. Something I do not want to forget is knowing the difference between reliability and validity because I feel that I keep confusing them but have to remind myself that validity is valid and valid is accurate whereas reliability is being consistent.

Module 6 Summary -Karen Olmos

2023-03-05 07:48:55 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned about nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. I already had an idea what these were but revisiting them really helped. Depending on what research is being done choosing the right. measurement is always important.

module 6 Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-03-05 09:12:10 UTC

In this week's module we learned about levels of measurement.
Nominal -no ranking.
Ordinal -ranks on a scale, numerical degrees, distance unequal.
Interval-ranks with equal distance, but no true zero point
Ratio- ranks with equal distance, true zero point means absence of the quantity.
Measurement levels matter because this helps decide how to interpret the data and what statistical analysis is appropriate.

Module 6 Summary: Monsserrath Virgen

2023-03-06 04:28:22 UTC

In this week's module on, "Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Measurement" was very informative on learning the different types of measures. The idea that i had of measurement prior to what I learned in this lecture was very different. Learning that measurement is a process that is going to happen in our project. A measurement doesn't require any tools however does require a procedure. Another important observation made in our lecture was that a variable cannot be observed directly. This is very important as we continue to build on our our research project.

tiffanee909 — 2023-03-06 21:45:20 UTC

In this lecture, a concept that a I thought would be important to look at was the levels of measurement. The levels of measurement consist of nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. I learned to categorize them by nominal and ordinal being considered qualitative. While interval and ratio are quantitative. Ratio is based on time or age, interval is rating with values, ordinal is ranking, and nominal is labeling. This lecture had a lot of great information and I was able to grasp of lot of concepts throughout the slides and videos.

Diana Olivares: Module 7 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-03-06 23:10:47 UTC

In this week’s lecture I learned about reliability, validity, and the types of validity and possible threats to it. Reliability ensures that results within research are consistent so they can be both internally and externally valid. Whereas validity, helps to evaluate if what we are measuring is what is intended to be measured. There are different types of validity in research such as Face, Content, Statistical, measurement, Internal, External, Construct, and Statistical conclusion validity. Threats to internal and external validity can also be seen, in internal validity threats are due to participants or instruments in a study and external validity threats are due to history, setting, and selection threats. A takeaway from this lecture is that the purpose of establishing reliability and validity in research is to assure the integrity and quality of a measurement.

Mod 7 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-03-06 23:51:24 UTC

In this week lectures we learned about validity and reliability. Reliability and validity are both ways on how good a method measures. Validity is whether the measure is accurate, which means the results of the research actually measures correctly. Whereas reliability is whether the measure is consistent and whether the results of the research can be made again in the same condition.

Module 2 lecture summary

006862486 — 2023-03-07 00:34:46 UTC

In this week's module it went more in depth about applying research methods such as the scientific method. It went over important steps such as identifying ,reviewing, planning a design , gather and analyzing data and the conclusion. All this steps are very important for research inquiry process. The lecture went over the variables such as independent and dependent. This weeks module was a nice recap about how to do research effectively and correctly.

module 3 summary-kenia

006862486 — 2023-03-07 00:50:41 UTC

In this week's module it talked abut literature review and it's purpose. Literature review helps out your research paper to be more credible. Overall it helps you better understand how to find resources and apply them. The module also went over all the different types of literature review such as narrative and such. It has also helped me know new search engines to use when looking for articles.

module 4-kenia

006862486 — 2023-03-07 00:57:16 UTC

This week's module was all about generating research questions and good ethics. It has taught me how to look out for the characteristics of a GOOD research question such as I being relevant and ethical. The three main things to remember when it comes to ethical principles is justice, respect for others and beneficence. The module referred this as the Finer method. This module helped built my understanding how to form research questions as well.

Erika Smith - Lecture 7 Summary

007804141 — 2023-03-07 05:19:35 UTC

In week’s 7’s lecture, I learned about why is important the Validity and Reliability. It was interesting to learn that Validity helps us evaluate if we are measuring what we intended to be measuring and also learning about the types of validity: Internal, external and construct validity. Meanwhile, reliability is a prerequisite for validity because it helps us be sure that our results are consistent in order to be internally and externally valid. There are some techniques for confirming reliability. I learned about validity and reliability which will be helpful in my Final Project.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-03-07 21:49:25 UTC

In module 7 I learned that reliability means the consistency and stability of measurement. It is important that measures that are used are reliable during research. I also learned how reliability can be used by different methods with are test-retest, inter-rater, and internal consistency. Validity can be used during different methods which are content, criterion, and construct validity.

Module 7 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-03-07 21:58:29 UTC

I learned that we cannot definitively identify validity the same way we can with reliability. After watching this week's lectures, I learned that there are four problems with reliability that can give an inaccurate reliability score. If questions are worder poorly and/or if questions are interpreted differently by different researchers, the reliability score can be inaccurate. If there is inconsistency with coding where there are coding errors with open-ended questions, it can give a faulty reliability score. Finally, a lack of concrete, operational definitions for key terms used in the study or research question can lead to inaccurate reliability scores.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 7

2023-03-07 22:28:49 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned about the importance of validity and reliability. Reliability is the consistency and stability of the measure, while validity evaluates if we are measuring what we intend to measure. Also, I learned the three types of validity, internal, external, and construct validity. The takeaway from this week's lecture is ensuring the quality and integrity of our research.

Estefani Canseco: Module 6 Summary

2023-03-07 22:48:31 UTC

In this lecture I learned about the importance of measurement and the different levels. As well as concept vs construct, and operational. I thought this module was very informative and gave a good insight on this particular topic. The levels of measurement include interval, ratio, nominal, and ordinal. Another important thing from this lecture was determining the quality of measurement dealing with validity and reliability. Overall this module was very helpful in defining measurement and other concepts relating to this topic.

Estefani Canseco: Module 7 Summary

2023-03-07 23:05:43 UTC

In this weeks lecture I learned about validity and reliability and defining good characteristics in a research design. I also learned about conceptualization vs. operationalization. Now validity refers to the accuracy of a measure whether the results really do represent what they are supposed to measure. Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure whether the results can be reproduced under the same conditions. Conceptualization involves defining abstract ideas with specific characteristics and operationalization involves specifying how a variable or concept will be measured in a specific study. I found this lecture to be very interesting and gave a clear understanding of validity and reliability.

Halie White Module 7

2023-03-08 01:33:05 UTC

A concept I want to keep with me is validity means accuracy. For something to be valid, it means to be accurate information. There are differnt types of validity and there are threats to both. Relibility is a pre step to test the consistency of the results. There are loys of steps to take to ensure valid and relible informatiom is being put out.

Rachel Jacobs Module 7

2023-03-08 01:45:52 UTC

Module 7 goes over the important concepts reliability and validity. I learned that it is important to design a study that uses accurate and consistent measures when collecting data as this will ensure the conclusions that we get from our study are reliable and valid. Reliability will make sure our results are consistent in order for them to be valid. Validity helps us make sure we are measuring what we wanted to be measure.

Module 7 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-03-08 02:45:10 UTC

In Module 7, a better understanding of what validity is emerged as I learned that it helps you understand if something is accurately reflecting the concept we intended to measure. With this, reliability is seen as a prerequisite for validity, as we need to ensure our results are consistent for them to be internally and externally valid. In addition, a key takeaway was learning that ultimately validity cannot be proven, but we can still support it by looking at face validity, internal measures, and external measures. When specifically looking at internal validity, we see its importance as it allows us to make causal inferences about the relationships between different variables we are interested in. To access this, you should use different types of validity: face (logical) validity, content (logical) validity, and statistical validity (concurrent or predictive validity).

Module 7 Lecture Summary-Monsserrath Virgen

Monsserrath — 2023-03-08 19:03:45 UTC

In this weeks lecture on Validity and Reliability I was able to understand the difference between the two and how it affects research. For example Reliability is the extent to which the same research technique can be applied again to the same object/subject. It was also important to remember that reliability does not mean accuracy, and what we need to care about is the consistency. While Validity helps us understand if something is accurately reflecting the construct we intend to measure. Validity in research is important because it can determine cause and effect relationships.

Module 7 Lecture Summary

007960752 — 2023-03-08 21:02:39 UTC

This week the lesson focused on reliability and validity in research. Reliability is the consistency that the same technique would give the same result throughout the study. In contrast, validity is the accuracy for which the measures reflect what the researcher wants them to measure. There are multiple techniques to eliminate the threats to validity when working with quantitative data, for example, using a control group to avoid maturation and randomization to avoid selection maturation interaction. Qualitative researchers' must also incorporate strategies to enhance credibility such as accounting for and recognizing personal biases, clarity in terms of thought process, and engaging with other researchers. Overall reliability and validity are important aspects of quality research.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 7 Lecture Summary

2023-03-08 21:13:46 UTC

In this week's lecture, we covered reliability and validity. Reliability is the degree to which a test or measure produces the same scores when applied in the same circumstances. Reliability does not ensure accuracy. Whereas, validity is the extent to which our measure reflects what we think or want them to be measuring. Validity accurately reflects the concept it is intended to measure. I also learned about various different types of validity. Such as face validity, content validity, statistical validity, and internal/external validity.

marlene quiijada: module 7 lecture summary

2023-03-08 21:51:03 UTC

In this weeks lecture we went over reliability, validity, and the types of validity and threats to it. There is internal, external, and constructive validity. Validity is whether the measure is accurate, which means the results of the research actually measures correctly. Reliability is the consistency and stability of the measure, while validity evaluates if we are measuring what we're intending to measure.

Adrian Avina

2023-03-08 22:12:54 UTC

This week's lecture went over two important topics to research, reliability and validity. One thing to always keep in mind is that reliability is not as its name implies. When something is referring to reliability, we are not talking about how accurate it is. Reliability and validity go hand in hand because to have validity you need reliability. validity is what allows us to understand if a construct is being accurately reflected, when we go in to measure. Like many other concepts from this course, validity has many types. Such as statistical validity and face validity.

Ashley Meza - Module 7 Summary

006409542 — 2023-03-09 04:53:50 UTC

For this weeks lecture , I learned about Reliability and Validity. Reliability is a prerequisite for validity because we must ensure our results are consistent so they can be internally and externally valid and Validity helps us evaluate if we are measuring what we intended to be measuring. There is also internal validity, external validity and construct validity. Which overall Validity and reliability are very important aspects of quality research.

Ana M.

2023-03-09 05:23:09 UTC

This week’s lecture focused on fixing one’s research question and the two research approaches (qualitative and quantitative). Also went over the methodology and participant’s privacy, to minimize harm/risks that can occur. That every participant should be treated with respect and pose less risk with confidentiality especially when asking very personal information. The ethics in research must always be considered with high priority in order to guarantee the integrity of the study.

Ana M.

2023-03-09 05:36:43 UTC

Sampling was the main focus of this week’s lecture, as we learned about the different types of research designs and experiments. Understanding the different types of sampling(non-probability /probability), helps the researcher generalize the proper population. To prevent sampling error, a larger sample could prevent a small group becoming an inadequate representation for a whole population. For my research, a non-probability sampling method would work as the group of participants would be less random already taken from a large group for generalizability (aka quota) based on their characteristics.

Gabriela Diego Module 7 lecture summary

2023-03-09 05:43:38 UTC

This week was focused on reliability which is consistency and validity which is accuracy from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. We were introduced to techniques for confirming reliability such as test-retest, split-half method and types of validity such as face, content, measurement, internal/external and statistical. Threats to validity refers to the factors that cause a research study to produce inaccurate or misleading results and making it hard to draw a valid conclusion. Lastly, having qualitative credibility is important in research because the design and methodology strategies can ensure trustworthiness of the findings.

Mishon: Module 7 Summary

2023-03-09 23:58:39 UTC

In this week's module 7, Validity tells us if what we're measuring is what we were attempting to measure. Validity can't happen without reliability, because we have to make sure that our results are always the same for them to be both internally and externally valid. Also, there are other major validity, such as Internal validity is how much the results of a study can be explained by changing the independent variable and nothing else.

External validity is how well a study's results can be used in other places, with other groups of people, or in other situations. Construct validity is how well the results of a study measure the theoretical construct being looked at. Validity = Accuracy was another thing that stood out to me.

It's important to look at threats to validity if you want accurate results.

Considering how threats might affect you can help you find ways to stop them.

And in quantitative research, controlling for extraneous variables and using probability sampling can solve many problems that threaten internal and external validity.

During the planning and execution of a study, qualitative researchers can also use strategies to make it more credible.

Montserrat Espinoza

006958972 — 2023-03-10 02:10:13 UTC

For this week's lecture, we went over reliability and validity. I learned that there are internal, external and also constructive validity. Validity is what helps us in measuring what is being measured. We should always ensure the quality of research.

Module 7 Destiny Marin Jimenez

2023-03-10 05:20:42 UTC

In this weeks module I learned about validity and reliability. Reliability is a prerequisite for validity because we must ensure our results are consistent so they can be internally and externally valid. Validity helps us evaluate if we are measuring what we intended to be measuring. There is face, content, statistical, internal, external, measurement, statistical and construct validity.

Ledezma - M7 summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-03-10 07:45:35 UTC

Something that I learned from this week's module are the techniques used for confirming reliability, and the different types of validity. Reliability means applying the same technique to the same objective in order to see if you obtain the same results. The techniques for confirming reliability are test-retest, split-half method, use of established measures, and data collectors/coders. The amount to which our measure matches what we believe or want them to measure is referred to as validity. The different types of validity are face, statistical, measurement, content, internal, external, construct, and statistical validity. My main takeaway for this week is the qualitative data methodological strategies to ensure “trustworthiness”. I believe this is something important that I should remember because it does ensure that my quantitative data is trustworthy.

In week 7, I was able to learn the difference between reliability and validity. Reliability can be used for criterion, construct, and content. As for reliability is the stability of measuring. Want to make sure that everything makes sense and not have inaccurate response and results.

007938262 — 2023-03-10 07:52:24 UTC

Module 7 summary Shyanne Thomas

2023-03-10 20:31:24 UTC

This week we went over reliability and validity, remembering that reliability does not always mean accurate. we also went over problems with reliability like how questions are worded and indicators of reliability, confirming or discovering reliability with techniques like retesting and the split-half method. also with validity we went over the different types of validity like internal and external validity where we are looking at what we intended to measure was actually measured. lastly we discussed the threats to validity and how its important assess the threats so that you can identify steps to control them.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 7

2023-03-11 00:09:53 UTC

This week the takeaway from the lessons was about reliability and validity and what this means when it comes to research. Reliability in research means that the same technique or research methods can be done again to produce the same results. However, reliability doesn't always mean it is accurate because a measure can be reliable but inaccurate. Validity helps researchers make inferences about the relationship between variables. This means that what we are trying to measure is in fact being measured.

Valerie Perez Module 7 Summary

2023-03-11 00:58:52 UTC

This week we were learning about reliability as well as validity. Reliability does not guarantee accuracy, but it does produce the same result. Validity is used to evaluate MEASURE.There is internal,external, and construct validity. There are also threats to validity.

Vanessa Barragan Mod 7 Summary

2023-03-11 02:15:53 UTC

In this week's lecture, I got to learn information about validity and reliability. Something that I want to keep in mind is that reliability does not mean it is always accurate but contains the same results. I also learned the problems with reliability which can lead to a lack of def keywords, poor communication, etc. Validity is to describe a measure that reflects the idea it is meant to measure. It is also important in order to determine whether the evidence conclusion is good or bad. Lastly, there are other types of validity such as internal, external, measure, and conclusion validity. This is information I would like to remember for this class.

cynthia tarazon mod 7

2023-03-11 02:25:37 UTC

For this week we learned about validity and reliability. Validity tells whether the measure is accurate if the outcome is correct. As to where reliability tells if the measure is consistent but does not mean its accurate.

Sara Syed

2023-03-11 06:50:54 UTC

for this week we went over validity and reliably. Reliably does not guarantee accuracy or validity but validity can be used to give exact measurements. Some of the different types of validity are face, statistical, measurement, context, internal, external. construct, and statistical and we went over each in lecture. I have to admit that with this I understand why I got 2 of the midterm questions wrong now without proper understanding.

Sara Syed

2023-03-11 06:56:24 UTC

For this week module we covered, conceptualization, opera ionization and measurements. What I learned is that measurement does not mean you nessicarelty have to actually measure something but you actually do still have a procedure that produces a result the same way. Something else i know but this give a better prospective on is qualitative and quantitate means breaking down into nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratios. I leaned this in data statistics but never fault I had a full grasp of the contacts till now.

Kasandra Carrillo- Module 7 Summary

2023-03-11 22:56:14 UTC

For this week's lecture we went over reliability and validity. I learned that reliability is the consistency and stability of measurement. As well as being the essential for making accurate conclusions. Validity is the accuracy of measurement. It's important to be knowledgeable about these two topics when researching.

Daisy Pompa

2023-03-11 23:32:47 UTC

This weeks lecture recordings provided us clarity on how to make our research reliable. It goes on describing the different things we can do so our research is valid. As well as what steps we need to take while conducting our research question and insuring we are using validity. And our research is accurate for our topic.

Cristyan Macias Module 7 Summary

007794248 — 2023-03-12 00:06:42 UTC

In this lecture we went over reliability and validity. According to the lecture reliability is when we have a repeated test and we will get the same thing however this doesn't mean that it is accurate. When it comes to validity it means that we have an accurately reflecting concept however we cannot prove it and it can't be supported.

Jesus Leon: Module 7 Summary

2023-03-12 01:13:07 UTC

In today's week we learned about reliability and validity. As we saw reliability; implies that the same data that would have been collected each time over repeated tests and observations. In short it reliability equals consistency. When it comes to validity, it focuses on the accuracy. With that being said it is also important to recall that reliability does not ensure accuracy and validity cannot be proven, but can be supported by face, internal, and external measures. It is also important to consider that there are different types of validity; face, content, and statistical validity.

Module 7 Summary: Lily G

2023-03-12 01:54:44 UTC

This week I learned the importance of internal and external validity in data analysis. Internal validity refers to the extent to which a study's results can be attributed to the manipulation of the independent variable and not to extraneous factors. External validity, on the other hand, refers to the extent to which a study's results can be generalized to other settings, populations, and situations. Another thing that we went over was about the concern about whether or not the sata analysis produces the correct answer or an accurate answer.

Yessenia Rubio-Module7

2023-03-12 02:10:49 UTC

In this lecture we learned about reliability and validity. If you want exact measurements then you want to use validity. Reliability is used more if the measurement is consistent.

Ana M.

2023-03-12 03:45:55 UTC

This week's lecture focused on the different types of reliability and validity, how it relates to constructing the purpose of the study. Learned about the threats to internal and external validity, that can cause the results of the study to become inaccurate. Towards the end of the lecture is information about how to make qualitative studies more reliable which helpful for my research proposal project.

Module 4 Lecture Summary (Kristin Lange)

008047787 — 2023-03-12 04:45:29 UTC

In this module, I learned more in-depth information about literature reviews. I learned that comparing lit reviews can build bridges and identify central issues in society. This lecture was specifically interesting because of its relevance in composing a research question for the project. I learned the FINER aspect of creating research topics. (feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant).

Sarah B.

2023-03-12 05:12:44 UTC

For this weeks lecture I learned that operational constructs defines the method that is used to produce and measure something. It provides clarification which allows researchers to measure. With operational constructs there are different ways in which researchers can measure variables such as, by self reporting, behavioral, and physiological.

carmichaeljada — 2023-03-12 05:57:15 UTC

This week we learned about internal and external validity. Internal is when the study’s results of the manipulation. External is when the study’s results can be generalized. Overall I thought this week was very interesting and informative.

Joanna Contreras Module 7

2023-03-12 06:03:57 UTC

In this lecture I learned the different forms of validity which can detail how different research measurements can prove their reliability. I never really thought that there were further measurements of reliability and validity, but I think external validity peaked my interest more than most. Partly due to the fact that it required the input of both groups in order to prove its generalizability. I also learned there were many things which could impact the validity of ones research through errors related to participants/populations which I think is important because they hold a big part in how results could be formed.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-03-12 06:04:10 UTC

I learned that reliability is the consistency and stability of measurement. Thus cane be used with different method. Test – retest involves keeping the same measure to access variables. Reliability is important for validity and if the measure is not reliable it cannot be valid. Operationalization is the process of creating a definition for a concept that be observed . Specific research go through procedures that will result in empirical observations. What I don't want to forget about is reliability does not ensure accuracy.

module 5-kenia

006862486 — 2023-03-12 06:19:17 UTC

In this weeks module it went over in detailed what sampling is. The module explained how to use sampling you can find the population. It went over the different techniques, how to sample ethically and avoid sampling errors. In conclusion sampling is a tool to help find the sample population.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-03-12 06:19:57 UTC

In this module, I learned about validity, which means accuracy. there is internal and external validity .internal validity is typically applied to inferential validity addresses the ability to generalize your study to other people and other situations.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana -Module 7

2023-03-12 06:26:22 UTC

This week's lecture talked about reliability and validity. Reliability isn't always accurate, but it does offer consistency in the results. Validity tells whether the measure is accurate. According to the lecture, there are different types of validity, such as internal, external, construct, measurement, and statistical.

module 6-kenia

006862486 — 2023-03-12 06:31:48 UTC

In this weeks module it went over measurement. The module went into detailed the different types of measurements such as ordinal, interval,ratio and nominal. The process involves four steps and its measured through validity and reliability. The module also went over operationalization and conceptualization.

Module 7-kenia

006862486 — 2023-03-12 06:44:32 UTC

In this module we went over validity and reliability. Reliability is not always accurate but it is the most consistent while validity describes accuracy. The module also went over the different types of validity which are content, face and statistical validity. These different types of validity is what can support reliability. There is also internal and external validity.

Maria Rojas Module 7 lecture summary

2023-03-12 07:26:57 UTC

In this weeks lecture I learned about reliability and validity. Something that I learned and stuck out to me was how reliability does not ensure accuracy, as opposed to validity which is more accurate. Another fact that stuck out was how there are different types of validity. These consist of internal, external, measure, and conclusion. There can be threats to validity that can be harder to determine the conclusion in research studies. Both reliability and validity are extremely important too researchers to support their research process.

This week’s module we reviewed the understanding of reliability and validity. These both are used in research like quantitative studies. Reliability can be used to measure the study and see how consistent it is. Validity is the accuracy of a measurement. It is important to note that a measure can be reliable but it can’t be valid. This is important because in such studies they will need to measure how accurate and reliable it is.

Brenda Velador- Module 7

One of the many things I learned this week from the lecture is internal and external validity. First I would like to mention the definition of internal validity which is when the study's results of the manipulation. And on the other hand external validity is when the study's results can be generalized. Another thing I learned from the lecture is how to make studies more reliable. Overall this week lecture was very informative and helpful.

This week we took a look at sampling and the importance to research. Sampling can consists of simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic random sampling. Sampling error is an error that comes from random sample estimating the population parameter. Sampling error is lowered with larger sample sizes. Research and content needs to be reliable and have high validity to accurately measure.

004526027 — 2023-03-12 19:55:58 UTC

This week covered measurement. Different levels of measurement can consist of nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio. Measurement helps with interpreting data and whether it is a quantitative or qualitative measure.

004526027 — 2023-03-12 20:05:23 UTC

The focus this lecture was reliability and validity. Reliability pertains to the consistency and stability of measurement. reliability can be assessed through different methods such as : test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, and internal consistency reliability. There can only be validity if there is reliability. Validity refers to the level to which a measure assess what it is intended to assess. If a measure is not reliable, it cannot be valid. Reliability is important for making accurate conclusions.

Module 6 summary

007669461 — 2023-03-13 00:52:16 UTC

During this weeks lecture we learned about the different levels of measurement and each levels important function. The four different levels are nominal, ordinal, interval, and lastly ratio. As mentioned prior is very important to understand each levels task because they all have their own function. Understanding the levels will help us successfully analyze the date being used to answer our research questions. The levels of measurement all go in order from nominal, ordinal, interval, and ration. As the levels go up the priors level function continues to the next measurement. Nominal is know as the category variable and the other three levels are known as the quantitative variables. This week was a little tricky for me but I will continue to review our lecture videos. The videos have been very helpful with extending our understanding on concepts we are learning each week.

Sasha G (Module 7)

2023-03-13 03:35:19 UTC

In this weeks module, it focuses on reliability and validity. It shows us that reliability is not accurate whereas validity is accurate. Reliability and validity shows us the measurements on how it’s being portrayed. It’s important that we know this so that our information is accurate and not false information. Overall, this week’s lecture was interesting.

Reality vs validity.
Reliability (it is consistency) does not ensure accuracy, a measure can be reliable but inaccurate (invalid) because of bias in the measure or in data collector/coder. The techniques for Confirming Reliability or Discovering Problems are pretest, repeat question(s), test/retest, split half and Parallel, inter-score or scorer.
Validity (accuracy) is the extent to which our measure reflects what we think or want them to be measuring. The types of validity are face validity, content validity, statistical validity, internal validity, external validity, measurement validity, statistical conclusion validity.
Internal validity refers to the extent to which a study's results can be attributed to the manipulation of the independent variable and not to extraneous factors.
External validity refers to the extent to which a study's results can be generalized to other settings, populations, and situations.

week 7 Kylie Thomas

2023-03-13 18:14:51 UTC

This week we learned about reliability vs validity. The reliability of research is a measure that can be reliable but not accurate as it is invalid because there is biases within the measure or the data. Validity is a measure accurately reflecting concepts that it is intended to measure. Complete validity will not be proven but can be supported by face, internal and external measures. Overall validity allows us to evaluate things we are measuring or intended to measure. Reliability is now the prerequisite of validity as we can not ensure our results are consistent to further be internally and externally valid.

tiffanee909 — 2023-03-13 19:52:52 UTC

Weeks 7 lecture was about validity and reliability. A concept that stood out to me was qualitative credibility. The main aspects of this section were credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. These aspects relates to trustworthiness, true value, consistency, and many more that define credibility in research. Something that I seen a lot through this section was bias. It's important to make sure the the research findings has reduce bias and one is able to acknowledge bias. A great way to remember differentiate validity and reliability that was provided; reliability is consistency while validity is accuracy.

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-13 21:49:52 UTC

During this weeks activities and readings we learned just how important it is in applied research to know what measures are reliable when assessing variables. There are 3 kinds of way to test if it’s reliable or not. Test reliability is used when the same measure is used to measure the same people with the results they recieve. Inter reliability is looking at the numbers and assessing the consistency of scores between two or more graters who score the same behavior. Internal validity is to the extent ones study’s results can be attributed to the manipulation of the IV and not extreme factors. There are three conditions of causality, the cause comes before the effect, the cause and effect have to be correlated and that there are no other variable involved. Some threats to internal validity have to do with participants and some with the tests or questionnaires used to assess.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 8

2023-03-14 21:04:15 UTC

One thing I learned in module 8 lecture was the types and styles of qualitative interviews. For example, full structure interview, semi-structure interview, and unstructured interview. I think semi-structured interviews are probably best because although you still use a set of predetermined questions, you can omit or add questions depending on the participants responses. One takeaway from the lecture is learning that using qualitative research methods provides more in-depth information to be collected.

Adrian Avina

2023-03-14 22:51:02 UTC

In this lecture we break down the ideas of qualitive interviews and how they work. We also get an example of the difference between the types that can be found when talking about qualitive interviews. We can use qualitive interviews to get a better set of data, one that allows us to better understand something that we are wanting to find out. With qualitive interviews, there are a few other types or examples that can be used. For instance full structure interview or unstructured interview. Both of these have their uses for different kinds of problems.

Mod 9 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-03-14 22:56:35 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned two kinds of research, quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research focuses on how many and how much, mainly based on numerical data. It is used to find patterns in a large population. Qualitative research is more about the what and why; it collects non-numerical data to comprehend opinions and experiences better. For example, an interview is qualitative based on an individual experience. There are two types of qualitative research. One is phenomenology, and the goal is to get a subjective point of view based on an individual experience. And ethnography aims to collect data on a culture with a group of people.

Vanessa Barragan Mod 8 Summary

2023-03-15 01:40:25 UTC

In this week's weeks lecture, I learned about the different kinds of interviews and how they work. Something I want to keep in mind is qualitative interviews. A qualitative interview is used to find out about the person. The lecture notes also mention the different types and styles of using qualitative interviews. Such as fully structured interviews, semi-structured interviews, and unstructured interviews. I also got to learn more about the questions to be avoided in qualitative interviews. Qualitative methods are most convenient for exploring new issues and determining the meaning people give to their actions.

Jesus Leon: Module 8 Lecture Summary

2023-03-15 03:05:48 UTC

In this week we learned about the two kinds of research which are Qualitative and Quantitive. Qualitative focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing their world in their own words. With that being said that is why a main tool or method of qualitative research involves doing interviews, focus groups, observations and document analysis. In the other hand Quantitative research is more focused on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified. The methods also involve close ended questionnaire or surveys or observational. It also focuses on a larger sample.

Ledezma - M8 Summary

jessicaledezma — 2023-03-15 03:07:38 UTC

The takeaway that I got from this week's lecture is the importance of using interviews over other types of research methods. So interviews are like a conversation with a purpose in which the interviewer allows the participants to express themselves in their own words and on the basis of their own life experiences. Interviews are also great for open-ended questions and gaining a more in-depth response about the person's experiences, opinions, perspectives, feelings, and even knowledge. During an interview, the interviewer can record the session and use the transcripts to help gather real data that was missed during the interview. In the lecture, it talks about three different styles of qualitative interviews which were fully structured interviews, semi-structured interviews, and unstructured interviews. Knowing the difference between each one can be extremely beneficial when it comes to performing your own research because it will help you see what type of method you want to lean more towards. All in all, this week's lecture really help with my understanding of how useful interviews can be when performing your own research.

Cristina Serrato

2023-03-15 03:24:18 UTC

For this week's lecture, I learned about the difference between validity and reliability. More specifically, how important and accurate validity can be, versus reliability. I also learned that there are different types of validity: face, content and statistical. There are also threats to validity which can impact the study which can affect the participants and instruments. Overall it is very crucial when conducting research and validity is the best response to find accurate results.

Estefani Canseco:Module 8 Lecture Summary

2023-03-15 18:47:17 UTC

In this weeks module I learned about qualitative vs. quantitative research methods. Quantitative research is expressed in numbers and graphs. It is used to test or confirm theories and assumptions. This type of research can be used to establish generalizable facts about a topic. Common quantitative methods include experiments, observations recorded as numbers, and surveys with closed-ended questions. Qualitative research is expressed in words. It is used to understand concepts, thoughts or experiences. This type of research enables you to gather in-depth insights on topics that are not well understood.
Common qualitative methods include interviews with open-ended questions, observations described in words and literature reviews that explore concepts and theories. This weeks lecture was very helpful and informative because it provided me with well in depth informations about the importance of qualitative and quantitative research methods and how to use them.

Module 8 Lecture Summary

007960752 — 2023-03-15 21:20:41 UTC

This week the focus was on qualitative research when you would use it, why you would use it, and the methods you would use. Several methods for collecting qualitative data are interviews, focus groups, and observations. An interview is a conversation with a purpose. They can provide rich insights into the perspective of your participants. It is important to build a strong rapport with your participants so that they feel comfortable. Qualitative research can be used in exploring new issues, and give a good perspective of your participants' thoughts, ideas, views, and experiences.

Diana Olivares: Module 8 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-03-15 21:42:06 UTC

In this week’s lecture I learned about the types of data collection approaches and Qualitative research methods. Qualitative research involves examining and collecting non-numerical data to better understand experiences, different concepts, and beliefs. It focuses on understanding how people behave in natural settings, and how they describe the world in their own words. There are different methods of collecting qualitative data such as through interviews, focus groups, and observations. Qualitative interviewing is used to find out more about people's experiences, rely on open ended questions, engage researchers more actively with subjects, and questions encourage in depth responses. Some of the types of qualitative interviews include fully structured, semi-structured, and unstructured interviews. A takeaway from this lecture is that the qualitative research method's goal is to obtain a rich description of behaviors and realities.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 8

2023-03-15 22:32:26 UTC

This week the main takeaway from the lecture was about qualitative research. Goals of qualitative research focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing the world they experience in their own words. It aims to provide interpretive analysis and the flexibility of design allows for capturing reality. Research methods for qualitative data can be focus groups, interviews, and observations. Using interviews, we are having conversations with a purpose. As researchers we want to gain insight into the person’s experiences, and narratives. There are different types of interviews such as fully structured, semi-structured and unstructured interviews. They are all different in their structures and can be used depending on the type of research being conducted. The researcher can determine which one best fits their experiment.

Module 8 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-03-16 01:02:28 UTC

This week, I learned that there are two types of qualitative research. Phenomenology qualitative research aims to discover individuals' lived experiences. This type of research is based on the premise that reality is subjective and that each person has their own unique experiences and realities. Ethnography qualitative research seeks to discover and describe the culture of a group of people.

Module 8 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-03-16 01:03:36 UTC

Module 8 shed more light on qualitative research as it explained how it tries to understand the subjective experience of people, their experiences, and their interpretations of how they see the world around them. This taught me about the distinct characteristics of qualitative research, such as the emphasis on meaning, the reliance on context, the ability to derive meaning from data from multiple sources, the recognition of the impact on research outcomes, iterative design, and the flexibility of designs. With these unique attributes, when deriving meaning from multiple sources in qualitative research, you use a method called triangulation. Aside from these attributes, a takeaway was learning that qualitative research is an iterative process as researchers collect data and analyze it to refine their research questions and/or methods. In addition, qualitative research is also subjective and reflective since it recognizes that research is influenced by the researchers’ own biases and assumptions.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-03-16 02:59:28 UTC

In module 8, I learned that research relies on correlations or experiments. Correlations measure variables and with experiments researchers make changes in one variable. I also learned that qualitative research explores and provides a better insight to relate-world problems. There is a method called triangulation which means taking information from various sources in a qualitative research.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-03-16 03:04:16 UTC

In module 9s lecture I found that quantitive is high internal validity with experiments. Qualitative is higher external validity with participant observations. I learned that quantitive research should be precise and covers larger group. Qualitative on the other hand is a more narrative in depth information.

Yessenia Rubio- Module 9

2023-03-16 16:55:19 UTC

In this week's lecture I learned about qualitative research methods and unique attributes that help recognize what is applied in the research. Qualitative research is focused on observing people in their natural state and having them describe in their own words what they feel, think, etc.. Qualitative is also an inductive applied research.

Rachel Jacobs module 8

2023-03-16 19:15:56 UTC

In this module, I learned the differences between quantitative and qualitative research, specifically that quantitative focuses on "how many" and "how much" in a study while qualitative focuses on the "what" and "Why" in a study. Qualitative research is very interesting as it is about learning about the meaning behind behaviors and its more subjective analysis. We also started talking about the methods of collecting data for qualitative research, including interviewing. I found the techniques of interviewing to be enlightening as it is not just about getting participants to answer questions to find an answer, but its also about growing a connection between the interviewer and participant so the participant feels a lot more comfortable sharing their stories and feelings.

This week lecture, I learned that qualitative research has two types of research phenomenology and ethnography. Which also having an interview and conversation extents to different interviews like fully structure, semi-structured, unstructured. Observing will demonstrate different outcomes. When going for an interview always try to have ask questions and be involved. Collect information that matches with the research that is being studied.

Cynthia Tarazon Mod 8

2023-03-17 00:56:11 UTC

Something I learned from this module was the differences from quantitative and qualitative interviews. Qualitative interviews are used to find out more about a person and better set of data. As for qualitative interviews it can be a full structure interview or unstructured interview.

Estefani Canseco: Module 9 Lecture Summaries

2023-03-17 02:34:57 UTC

In this weeks lecture, some of the main points I learned from here was methods for collecting qualitative data. For qualitative this involves focus groups, observations, and interviewing. To record data I learned that you can use field notes, tape recorders, video, and photo graphic data. Also some of the goals for qualitative is that qualitative research examines words and other non-numeric media. Focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing their world in their own words. Emphasizes collecting in-depth information on relatively few individuals or within a very limited setting. Overall this module was very informative and well explained.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 9

2023-03-17 02:47:40 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned the three methods of collecting qualitative data for research. For example, interviews that have open-ended questions, observations that may be interpersonal interactions, or focus groups using a moderator to informally discuss specific topics. Also, I learned that qualitative data is used when you want in-depth information and are not sure what you are able to measure. This week's lecture was very informative on what type of method to use for my final project.

Daisy Pompa

2023-03-17 02:51:01 UTC

This weeks lecture covers the differences between Qualitative and Quantitative data and the best practices for each. For example, this is goes on describing the different types of qualitative data such as phenomenology and Ethnography. The lecture also describes which type of data is appropriate for the research question. Whether you want to control the validity of the interviews, surveys, and observations used for the research. This module emphasized on the type of data that will be appropriate for our research question.

Module 7

007221221 — 2023-03-17 03:44:45 UTC

In this module we further looked into validity and reliability. There are three types of reliability which are: Test-retest, Internal consistency and Interrator reliability. There are four types of validity and those are: Face, Content, Criterion, and Discriminant validity. We also learned that there are also Internal and External validity. Internal validity is the approximant truth about inferences regarding casual relationships ("true" causes of the outcomes). External validity is the approx. truth of generalizations drawn from a study. Lastly there are threats to validity and the 3 conditions of causality are: 1. Cause must come before effect 2. Cause and effect must correlate and 3. No third variable involved.

Module 8

007221221 — 2023-03-17 03:54:21 UTC

In module 8 we went over data collection and qualitative methods. I learned that in qualitative research, our methods need to be naturalistic and interpretive. The best way to achieve that is to conduct your research through observations and interviews (asking open-ended questions). Our goal for qualitative methods are to acquire rich descriptions of behavior and realities. We also went into depth about interviews. Interviews in it's most basic term is conversations with purpose.

Ashley Meza - Module 9 summary

006409542 — 2023-03-17 04:27:03 UTC

For this weeks module, I learned about the differences between quantitative and qualitative data. Qualitative was mainly involving focus groups , observations and interviews. When recording notes you could use tape recorders, photo graphic data, field notes , and video recording. Quantitative research is precise and covers larger groups. These types of research also focuses on peoples behavior in natural settings and describing their world in their own words. Overall, this module was very informative and somewhat easy to input into my work.

Marlene Quijada: module 8

2023-03-17 15:14:00 UTC

In this week's lecture we went over two kinds of research. Those being quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research is based on numerical data and more narrative in depth information. Qualitative research is more on what and why and is higher external validity with participant observations. We also went over over what kind of questions to ask for what kind the research.

Mishon Johnson-Module 8 Lecture Summary

2023-03-17 17:25:14 UTC

In this week's lecture, what stood out to me was the information on intervening and the best uses for qualitative approaches in the investigation of novel challenges, the research of challenging populations, and the interpretation of human behavior.

Focus groups, in-depth interviews, and participant observation are the main methods.

Theoretical sampling, purposive sampling, snowball sampling, and quota sampling are examples of common sampling approaches (non-probability sampling techniques)

Qualitative research techniques for child development: advantages.The kinds of research issues that qualitative research in child development can tackle.

The contribution of qualitative research to knowledge and comprehension of child development. As well as different types of qualitative research, such as phenomenology, examine the uniqueness of an individual's lived situations. Each person has their own reality; reality is subjective, and ethnographies are discovery and description of the culture(the shared beliefs, values, practices, language, norms, rituals, and material things that the members of a group use to interpret and understand their world)of a group of people.

Module 8 summary Shyanne Thomas

2023-03-17 18:56:52 UTC

This weeks lecture went over data collection approaches and qualitative methods. qualitative methods are looking at the natural environments through focus groups, observations and interviews. Also by putting emphasis on the meaning and looking at peoples different experiences. We also learned about the goals of qualitative research and looked at the types on methods like phenomenology which looks at the uniqueness of each individuals experiences and ethnography which looks at the culture of a group of people. lastly we discussed interviews and different ways to conduct interviews and the types of question we should ask and avoid.

Erika Smith - Module 8

007804141 — 2023-03-18 00:59:52 UTC

In week 8’s lecture, I learned about Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods. Even though, I do not have a reply or an approval for my Research Question, I am definitely sure that for my Research Project, I will use a Qualitative Research Method. It was interesting also to learn about the goals and the types of each research method. In conclusion, this week’s lecture helped me understand and find the research method I will use for my final project.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 8 Lecture Summary

2023-03-18 03:00:58 UTC

In this week's lecture I learned about different types of qualitative research and methods for collecting qualitative data. A big thing that was covered was interviews and why they are important. Qualitative interviewing engages researchers more actively with subjects and encourage in-depth responses. I also learned about the types and styles of these interviews, such as a fully-structured interview, semi-structured interview, and unstructured interviews. Certain helpful techniques as well as what to avoid in interviews was covered as well.

Gabriela Diego Module 8 lecture summary

2023-03-18 04:49:42 UTC

The main takeaways that I got from this weeks lecture is that with qualitative research we are trying to understand the subjective experience of people and their interpretation of the world around them. One type of qualitative research is phenomenology and when we use it we are hoping to understand the meaning and how people make sense of what's going around them. The second type of qualitative research is ethnography and this involves studying and describing a particular culture or social group in depth. Finally, I always thought that an interview were just questions to see how qualified someone is but the goal is to find out someone's thoughts and feelings and understanding how they make sense of certain experiences.

Monsserrath Virgen- Module 8 Lecture Summary

2023-03-18 05:04:53 UTC

In this weeks lecture on "Qualitative Research" was very informational on learning the difference between, qualitative and quantitative research. Learning about the differences in order to be able to apply it to our research questions was very helpful. For example, qualitative research finds the meaning on individuals perspectives, interpretations. The data that can be used within this method can be found in interviews, transcripts, notes and journals. The way I thought of it was like digging deeper with observation and having naturalistic settings to find out more about the behaviors that are being displayed given whatever it is you are trying to research.

Halie White Module 8

2023-03-18 06:27:34 UTC

It is important to decide which approch- qualitative or quantitative- depending on what type of information you want. Qualitative is how you find out the what and why. It is fovusued on people in their natural settings and uses information from their own words. Compared to Quantitative whic is statistcs and numbers. I want to remeber qualitative is inductive and quantitative is deductive.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-03-18 06:30:02 UTC

This week I learned about observations and how they are used. Such as making sure before the observation you need to know what you are observing before you start. Naturalist environment is when the observer observes in their everyday environment. There is also some limitations to observations. Naturalistic observation is not very useful when studying specific hypothesis. When having a qualitative study it’s important to know the different types of data you can collect. There is interviews, observations and focus groups. Qualitative research is an exploratory research question and a focus on human subjectivity.

Sara Syed

2023-03-18 14:50:35 UTC

This lecture was all about qualitative and quantitative research. I use to think qualitative ment more how detailed but I like the new understanding of the lecture being more of the what and why of researching. My understanding of numbers being quantitative still has no changed, however it was more elaborated on in terms of not only numbers but anything that can be counted as numbers can count as quantitative research.

Sara syed

2023-03-18 15:07:32 UTC

This week we went over the different styles of how to conduct sampling in research. There are two different samplinging ment those being probabilities and no probabilities. Probability sampling research include: simple sampling, cluster sampling, multi step sampling, stratified sampling, and systematic sampling. Non probability read each includes: quota sampling, snowball sampling, judgement sampling, and convenience sampling. We also did our CITI training which I found resourceful in learning how to conduct proper research.

Sara Syed

2023-03-18 15:13:21 UTC

For this week we went over how to make ethical and relevant research question. The three main things to apply when creating your ethical question is that justice, respect for others, and beneficiaries. When conducting research we want to be as transparent as possible and clear on what is is out participants are doing. We also want the research to be conducted in a way that is risk free to everyone involved but especially our participants.

Rachel Favares (Jacobs) Module 9

2023-03-18 16:53:55 UTC

This module was a continuation of last week's module on qualitative methods and we first finished up learning about the methods of collecting data including focus groups and observations. I would have to say that I agree that focus groups can be more helpful than individual interviews because group discussions can bring up diverse viewpoints and the participants can work together to conclude their group viewpoint. Observations were the next method of data collection which is helpful as it can provide a lot of data however it can sometimes be difficult because the participants might feel uncomfortable and change their behavior if they know they are being observed and observations can be time-consuming as it requires a lot of note taking and time evaluating those notes.

Montserrat Espinoza Armenta

006958972 — 2023-03-18 19:24:28 UTC

For week 8 module, quantitative and qualitative research was discussed. Quantitative is mainly focused on the "amount" such as how many. As for qualitative focuses on the reason for the study. It is important to learn the differences so we can use it for our research. Something interesting that stuck to me was that qualitative methods are best for collecting information for example and interview.

Valerie Perez Module 9

2023-03-18 20:50:06 UTC

This week we review quantitative and qualitative research. Qualitative research is reflective and subjective and done through interpretive analysis. Qualitative research is made through analyzing information through interviews or past data. Quantitative research is used through random sampling or using groups of people who have treatments and do not have treatments. Quantitative research uses numbers and experimentation. Ethnography is a type of qualitative method is used through certain older groups of civilization and are observed and recorded. There are different methods to gain qualitative research.

Sarah B.

2023-03-18 21:35:15 UTC

This week we learned about reliability and validity. For one reliability equals consistency and validity equals accuracy. Researchers can incorporate and implement ways to enhance credibility in a research design. For a more accurate research study. I also learned that it is important to look out for internal and external validity threats to a research design.

Sasha G Module 9

2023-03-18 22:34:38 UTC

I learned how quantitive and qualitative research is different. Quantitive shows us how many and how much, whereas, qualitative shows us the what and why. Qualitative shows us how important it is to gain knowledge. Quantitative is important that we know there is something there to measure. I also learned that interviews are important because it shows us how to connect with others and hear their opinions/feelings. Interview techniques is also important because it guides us with communicating with others. Overall, this week’s module was interesting and getting a better understanding of each topic.

Module 8 Destiny Marin Jimenez

2023-03-19 00:06:18 UTC

in this week's module, qualitative data was discussed. There are three different types of qualitative data such as interviews, observations and having focus groups. Interviews have open ended questions and people are able to give in-depth responses about their experiences, opinions, feelings, etc. Observations focuses on watching peoples behaviors, actions, conversations, activities, etc. and the researcher is able to give a lot of detail based on those observations. Focus groups are when small groups of people discuss a topic together to identify issues and themes.

carmichaeljada — 2023-03-19 00:27:34 UTC

This week we went over quantitative and qualitative research. Qualitative research is done through past data. Quantitative is done through research is done through sampling or using groups. Such as random groups of people who have been through treatments or anything. It also uses numbers. Overall this weeks review was very informative and affective. Felt like I learned a lot!

Cristyan Macias Module 8 Summary

007794248 — 2023-03-19 00:37:57 UTC

In this module it discussed qualitative and quantitive research. With quantitative research we should think empirical and statistical research. While qualitative research is when it is naturalistic and interpretive. A great example that used was that for quantitive was looking at the statistics of a child going to college if they attended a head start program, while qualitative you are observing kids playing and interviewing kids and teachers. This gave me a better understanding of the two because while one is more numbers based while the other is "natural" and because of this I realized that my research question for this class will fall under the qualitative category.

In module 8 we went over two types of data collection.
Qualitative research involves collecting non-numerical data through interviews, observations, and focus groups. This type of research aims to understand and describe people's experiences, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, and the meaning they attach to them.
Quantitative research involves collecting numerical data through surveys, experiments, and structured observations. This type of research aims to measure and quantify phenomena and test hypotheses. The data collected is objective and can be analyzed statistically.

During this week my biggest take away was learning more about our final project. I was really nervous about it because I was a little unsure of the exact directions for our project. However, now that I’ve watched this weeks video lectures I officially understand what is needed for our final project. We also learned about qualitative research methods this week. When we use qualitative method in my opinion you get more of a deep understanding of the research question. You learn more in depth and truly understand where your source is coming from. When using qualitative research you get to interview specific people according to your research topic. You get to understand a persons point of view and opinion. For example, if your research question is, do toddler prefer playing with toys or iPad more? You could possibly collect your data from standing outside Toys R Us and asking people about this controversial topic. This would again allow you to really get a deep understand of your research topic. Overall, this weeks lecture was very helpful!

This week I found it interesting the Quantitative Research methods focus on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified and generally includes larger samples, and Qualitative research focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing their world in their own words emphasizing collecting in-depth information in relatively few individuals, or within a very limited setting.

Lily Gomez Module 8

2023-03-19 01:36:24 UTC

For this weeks lesson we talked about Data collection and approaches and qualitavtive methods. Research is important to understand the human behavior but that means that its also important to to know the goals and to keep in mind the ethical issues. I learned that there is different types of methods to collect data, like interivews. The three styles that interviews that I learned about is fully structured, semi-structed and an unstructured interivew. I personally think that the semi-structured is the best since it has some predetermined questions but during the interview these can change and still fullfill the goal the researcher has. Along with that a inportant ethical issue is confidentiality which we have learned and talked alot about in class.

Module 8 Summary

2023-03-19 01:43:41 UTC

The differences between quantitative and qualitative data is significant because their purposes and function in research are unique. In this module, the qualitative method was reviewed and the purpose of it in observations, case studies, and interviews was addressed. The reason why it was addressed was to look at the advantages and disadvantages of this type of data.

Ana M Module 8

2023-03-19 02:20:59 UTC

This week’s subject was on qualitative research which was discussed in my other class as the best way to gain the participants knowledge/experience by using interviews and surveys to get a narrative perspective. For my proposal I would use a semi-structured interview to gain a more modified structured data. Found out how to avoid impractical questions and the ethical issues that can occur reminds me of last weeks lecture on how to treat the participants with respect and confidentiality. My proposal focuses on the teacher’s emotions toward STEM which will require a quota sampling population participating in two interviews receiving third person observations and interpenetrating their experiences to come to my final conclusions.

Quantitave: Focuses on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified. Quantitative is good for when we know something is there and we need to measure it, in other words, testing hypotheses

Tools- close-ended questionnaires or surveys, observational or other types of scales.
Participants - large number of participants needed to show data are meaningful and not just by chance.

Qualitative: Focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing their world in their own words. Qualitative is good to gain knowledge that is not suitable for set measurement "the how and why".

Tools - Interviews, focus groups, observations, document analysis
Participants - People/children describe their own experiences in their own words – gets at internal beliefs and life experiences.
Ethical issues in qualitative research: voluntary participation, participant well-being, identity disclosure, confidentiality

Module 8 - Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-03-19 03:01:40 UTC

This week's module taught us the difference between quantitative and qualitative research. When using qualitative research, we are gathering information from multiple sources. The researcher is seen as the instrument to collect information. It is iterative, allowing one to research more complex topics. This allows more flexibility to adapt to real-time outcomes. Quantitative research focuses more on testing the researcher's hypothesis than finding out how and why. Another thing taught in module 8 is how to have different methods to interview. Interviews are conversations with a purpose. This means getting life experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Asking open-ended questions is the best method for qualitative research. It doesn't have to be done in person. Avoid using long, leading, double-barrelled, and biased questions.

Mod 8 ~ Sandreana Perales

007677898 — 2023-03-19 03:45:59 UTC

In module 8 I learned more of the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative research methods. When doing Quantitative research, we can think about it being more experimental and statistical., and also involving experiments and surveys. While qualitative is more about it being Naturalistic and interpretive and also about peoples behaviors and realities. Another way to understand the difference that really helped me is part of the lecture that sates that " Qualitative is good to gain knowledge that is not suitable for set measurement" and " Quantitative is good for when we know something is there and we need to measure it"

2023-03-19 03:55:22 UTC

The lecture begins by defining qualitative research and discussing its key characteristics, such as the focus on subjective experience, the use of non-numerical data, and the importance of context. The lecture then explores the different types of qualitative research design, including case study, ethnography, grounded theory, and phenomenology, providing examples of each. The lecture also covers important ethical considerations in qualitative research, such as obtaining informed consent, ensuring confidentiality, and minimizing harm to participants. Finally, the lecture concludes with a discussion of strategies for ensuring the quality of qualitative research, including the use of reflexivity, peer review, and member checking.

Kasandra Carrillo- Module 8 Summary

2023-03-19 04:23:05 UTC

In this weeks lecture we learned about Qualitative and Quantitative research methods. I learned that when doing quantitative research the samples are usually larger. When doing qualitative research the sample is usually a few individuals. During this weeks lecture I also feel like I received a much better understanding on the project. The lectures helped me gather my ideas as well as direct me in the right path.

Module 8 consists of comparing and contrasting qualitative and qualitative research methods including advantages and disadvantages of each one. Also discussed various qualitative methods, including focus groups, case studies, field observation, and interviews. Quantitative Research is when you are focused on specific behavior that can be easily quantified, and the responses are assigned to numerical values and analyzed statistically. Qualitative research is when you focus on people behaving in natural settings and describing their world in their own words, and the responses are presented non-numerically plus conclusions are based on interpretations of the investigator. Qualitative is good to gain knowledge that is not suitable for set measurements. Qualitative of good for when we know something is there and we need to measure it.

Module 8 Joanna Contreras

2023-03-19 05:37:22 UTC

In this lecture I learned how qualitative and quantitive research methods differ. How they’re measured is vastly different and relies on how the researchers choose to delve into their research. I also learned about ethnography which I find interesting as it delves into how culture links people and why they do certain things in society. I do find qualitative methods more interesting as it explores the links people can have with things and how it affects outcomes rather than having research based on an answer that isn’t as in depth as it could be with quantitative methods.

Module 7 Kristin Lange

008047787 — 2023-03-19 06:13:14 UTC

In this module, I was able to learn the validity and reliability of research. It is important that we use accurate and reliable measures to conclude accurate conclusions. The measurements must be valid and measure what we are actually supposed to measure. Reliability does not ensure the accuracy of research but in turn, it speaks to the consistency of the research. In other words, the same data= repeated results. I also learned that it is important to operationalize the elements of what we are measuring in research so as to not measure something else and therefore create an invalid conclusion.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-19 06:30:01 UTC

In this module we learned about validity and reliability. One of the things we talked about was how reliability implies that same data would be record over time but it’s doesn’t ensure accuracy. As for validity is the measure thats accurately reflects upon concept.

Module 8 Maria Rojas Lecture Summary

2023-03-19 06:31:26 UTC

In this week's lecture, some important information that stuck out to me the types of qualitative research there are. I learned that there are two types from the lecture. The first was phenomenology and the second was ethnography. What was also interesting was how there are many different attiributes to qualitative research. The lecture went over nine different attributes and these attributes have different valuable approaches. I also got to see how there is deductive and inductive approaches that help researchers navigate the research they are doing.

Module 8 Brenda Velador

2023-03-19 06:38:20 UTC

In this week's module I learned about quantitative and qualitative. Through the lecture I learned about the difference in research between them. First quantitative is mostly used to express the amount. Whereas, qualitative is used to express why the study is happening and what they are using it for. Overall, this module was very interesting.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-19 06:38:43 UTC

We talked about the different types of qualitative research methods the first was phenomenology and the second was ethnography. We also talked about some examples of research which were interviews, focus groups, documents analysis and many more. The objective of qualitative research is for people to focus on their behavior in a natural setting and to describe their world in their own words.

Kristin Lange

008047787 — 2023-03-19 18:19:47 UTC

This was a module that discussed data collection and when to use the appropriate data collection methods. I learned that when deciding to use a particular data collection method, it is important to consider the research question that I am asking. This determines whether I will be using a quantitative (numerical) or a qualitative (what and why) approach. I was able to really understand the difference between the two based on the operational definition of my research. I also learned that quantitative approaches often use deductive reasoning while qualitative often go with inductive reasoning. This lecture really helps me in my research poster.

Sara Syed

2023-03-19 22:12:28 UTC

This week we went over the scientific method. As a result of this, we also went over how to do a literature review on peer reviewed papers that we will be using later in this course. Both these are tools that we can use to apply knowledge found to knowledge know and help guide learning and understanding of topics of interest.

Sara Syed

2023-03-19 22:16:46 UTC

This week we went over the applied research method. The applied research method is a cycle used for creating research question that includes: identifying the question, reviewing, planning a design, gathering and analyzing information, and conclusions to it all. We can also call this cycle the research inquiry process.

Karen Olmos - Module 9 Summary

2023-03-20 02:28:54 UTC

In this week's module we learned about quantitative and qualitative research. Qualitative is more focused on how and why while quantitative is more focused on the quantity based off the data such as how much and how many. We also learned about the different observation settings such as naturalistic environment where the observation is being done in an everyday environment.

Emily Belcher - Week 8 Lecture Summary

2023-03-20 03:13:48 UTC

This weeks lecture was about data collection and the different ways that you can do so. One important thing that we learned was the difference between qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research is good to gain knowledge that is not suitable for set measurement and Quantitative research is good for when we know something is there and we need to measure it. They are both good methods that help in their own ways.

Week 8 Kylie Thomas

2023-03-20 04:20:27 UTC

During this weeks lecture and slides we learned about different types of Qualitative Research. Some types of goals for qualitative research examines words and different types of non numeric media. Another goal focuses on people behaving in different settings that are natural to describe the world in their own words. The last goal shows the importance of collecting in depth information on a select few or in a small limited setting. Then we also learned different methods of collecting qualitative data.

Week 8 Alyssa Ortiz

2023-03-20 04:48:24 UTC

When collecting data, it's important to be able to determine the difference between Quantitative and Qualitative data. To determine which kind needed for you research, you must know or figure out what exactly you're looking for or what research is needed for your question and go from there.

Week 7 Alyssa Ortiz

2023-03-20 04:52:45 UTC

For this module, the important key takeaways were being able to distinguish the difference between Validity and Reliability within your research and data methods. When your research methods and data are consistent you gain reliability. This also allows for validity because your research then becomes accurate with each consistent trial.

Cristina Garcia- Mod 7

007696436 — 2023-03-20 04:56:53 UTC

For Mod 7, I learned valuable key points about reliability and validity of measurement. As I go further into a course, those two terms become easier to understand. I learned the 3 types of consistency of measures that psychologists consider. I also saw more examples of different types of validity and how they are used they are used during research.

Cristina Garcia- Mod 8

007696436 — 2023-03-20 05:05:07 UTC

In mod 8, I dug deeper into qualitative study and how it works. It answers the how's and whys of a particular study and helps us expand our understanding of results from quantitative analysis. Although qualitative is the opposite of quantitative, the two work together to give us more answers of real world problems. I also learned examples of qualitative research approaches such as ethnography, grounded theory, phenomenology, and narrative research. Although I need to get a better understanding of these terms, I have a basic idea of qualitative study.

Week 9 Alyssa Ortiz

2023-03-20 05:25:28 UTC

Some of the ley takeaways from this module were being able to determine the differences between Quantitative and Qualitative research. As well as knowing which data collection methods are best for each type of research that you're looking for. It's important to know the differences between the two that way you are ensuring the accuracy of your research results and the consistencies among your findings.

004526027 — 2023-03-20 06:52:56 UTC

This week we discussed in depth data collecting methods and what is best applied to our research question. Quantitative research is based on deductive reasoning while qualitative research is inductive reasoning. Qualitative research focuses on a naturalistic approach to the subject matter. Interviews and observations are tools to gather data. Open ended interviews can lead to a more in depth insight compared to set question that can be more restrictive. It is important to know that participation is voluntary and protect the identities of participants. This was very helpful for my project research, it has provided more information on how I should be approaching my hypothesis and the best research approach.

Yessenia Rubio- Module 9

2023-03-20 18:05:14 UTC

This week's lecture was more in depth of what is used for Qualitative Research. Observation is a form to collect data. This I believe is the most important one because it allows data to be collected naturally. There are three degree structures: Structure is an observation that is determined before the actual observation, Unstructured is when you go in observe but have no game plan as to what you are looking for, and Semi-structured which is having the idea to observe but not having a thought out plan.

vanessa barragan mod 9 summary

2023-03-20 22:39:33 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned more about research. The goal of qualitative research is on how other people behave in natural settings and how they describe their own world in their own words. I also learned more about the purpose of focus groups. Focus groups are groups of unrelated people formed by a researcher also it has been used in market research. Something I would want to keep in mind is the different kind of observations that there is and the purpose of observation. Observations provide different kinds of data and occurring data. Lastly, the last thing I learned in this week's lecture is about qualitative data and approaches.

Adrian Avina

2023-03-21 00:55:01 UTC

Similar to some previous ideas that we have covered, this week we learn about types of research. Specifically, we go over qualitative and quantitative. These are both useful for different things when it comes to a research topic that we have. In any case that involves larger populations, we would use the qualitative approach. On the other hand, anything that involves a sort of the opinions or experiences of people, we would use the quantitative approach.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 9 Lecture Summary

2023-03-21 01:01:17 UTC

In this week's lecture I learned about focus groups and observational methods. Focus groups are groups of unrelated people formed by a researcher. I also learned that focus groups are extensively used in market research. As for observations, I learned about naturalistic observation, systematic observation, nonparticipant observation, and participant observation. Lastly, I learned about field notes and that they should include descriptive and reflective notes.

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-21 01:23:55 UTC

During this weeks activities we learned about quantitative and qualitative research. The purpose is to focus on specific behaviors that are easily quantified. The numbers and sampling are usually from large groups. For this kind of research responses to surveys or questionnaires are given number values. As for qualitative research it focuses on people in their natural state and describing their perspective in their own words. Overall qualitative is great gain that knowledge that’s usually not suitable for set measurement and quantitative is good for when we know something is there and we just need to measure that.

Phenomenology is a type of qualitative research. The goal of it is to examine uniqueness of individuals lived situations and their own reality. Researchers usually conduct interviews and open ended questions to gain insight on their participants. Ethnography research is also qualitative. It’s the discovery and description of the culture of a group of people.

Brenda Popoca

2023-03-21 03:35:14 UTC

During this weeks readings, we went over the goals for qualitative research and the focuses on people behaving in natural settings in everyday life. Focus groups are formed by researchers of unrelated peoples. Though there can be limitations on such focus groups as some might not think it’s suitable for more sensitive topics. We also learned about observations and the importance of in depth data and contextualizing data. Though for observational data, the data is usually interpreted after the observations are done then that’s when hypotheses are formed to further explain. Systematic observation is also careful observation of a couple behaviors in a particular setting.

Module 9 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-03-21 04:13:35 UTC

With Module 9, a broader understanding of observations emerged as I understood that observations can be either quantitative or qualitative. With quantitative methods, there is an involvement of counting, quantifying, or measuring behaviors, while with qualitative methods, you instead describe the behavior without thinking about the measurement. With this, a key takeaway was learning that there are a lot of different types of data that result from observations, like naturally occurring data, in-depth data, and contextualized data. In addition, observations facilitate the preparation of an interview or survey study and/or the interpretation of the results. With all of this, I continued to learn about the variations that come from observations, as there are three different types: structured, unstructured, and semi-structured. Structured observation is the knowledge of what will be observed before the observation, unstructured observation is the selection of a method based on the situation, and semi-structured observation is the general idea of what will be observed without a specific plan.

Diana Olivares: Module 9 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-03-21 04:42:06 UTC

In this week's lecture we touched upon the types of qualitative data and data collection. The types of qualitative data include interviews, focus groups, and observations each used to collect data. Focus groups are a type of qualitative research where groups of unrelated people are formed by a researcher with a purpose to identify issues and themes. Observations are field work and field observation descriptions of interactions, behaviors, and activities of observable human experience. Data within observations consists of field notes which include both descriptive and reflective notes that have detailed descriptions of observations made. A takeaway from this lecture is that within qualitative data the researcher is the instrument and the many ways to collect and record data.

Module 9 Lecture Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-03-21 05:55:21 UTC

This week, I learned that focus groups offer the benefit of diverse viewpoints. However, focus groups may be limited by an inability to generalize to the general population. Observational methods allow a good beginning for researchers to create interviews of studies. Collecting data from observations stems from taking field notes, which is a lengthy process in which descriptive notes and reflective notes are taken. Descriptive notes include a description of methodology. Reflective notes are where the researcher documents how they are reacting and feeling about what they are observing.

Erika Smith - Week 9

007804141 — 2023-03-21 18:49:55 UTC

In week 9’s lecture, I learned what is a Focus group. I learned about Observational Methods, which it is one of the methods I thought to use in my Final Project. It was important to learn the Degree of Structure in Observations; such as, Structured, Unstructured and Semi-Structured. Another essential topic I learned in this week’s lecture was how to design an observation and some examples of where can I observe; for example, a library, a coffee shop, a freeway, a preschool. In my Final Project, my observation will be done in a Preschool. This week’s lecture was very helpful for me.

Daisy Pompa

How do we know when it is appropriate to use Quantitive and Qualitative data? Also, which type of the following is used in Child development or are these both used?

Evelin Carranza Module 9

007938262 — 2023-03-22 06:43:06 UTC

In this week's lecture got to learn about how qualitative data has focus groups, observations, and interviews to collect data. With focus groups will see the body language, engagement, and opinions. Able to learn more observations in what to look out for especially how much data and results that will demonstrate. It is important to realize that there will be different forms of them. This module has been very informative.

Marlene Quijada: module 9

2023-03-22 19:42:24 UTC

This week's lecture we went into the three methods of collecting qualitative data. There is interviews, observations, and focus groups. Along with the differences between qualitative and quantitative data. The research types focus on people in their natural setting. Ethnography is a type of qualitative method used through older groups of civilization. Interview techniques are important for the best results.

Kristin Lange Module 9 Summary

008047787 — 2023-03-22 21:47:35 UTC

In this module, we went deeper into conducting qualitative research. Qualitative research, unlike quantitative research, uses words, ideas, and interpretations to collect data in natural settings. The subjects in the research use their own words to describe the setting they live in. It is conducted using interviews, observations, and focus groups. While interpreting the data collected in qualitative research, it is important that the researcher does have observer bias. Observations are another key tool in collecting data for qualitative research. Observations observe subjects in their natural setting. It is important to decide on the degree of observation as structured, unstructured, or semi-structured. Field notes are the data collected in observations and they must be very detailed but must conceal identities of subjects.

Cristina Garcia Mod 9

007696436 — 2023-03-22 21:56:40 UTC

For this weeks mod, I got a better understanding on observational methods and how I can become a better observer. I learned about focus groups, the pros and the limitations of forming a focus group. I now have a better idea of what observation to use, how I can interpret data, how to use field notes and designing an observation. The first time I observed a preschool classroom, I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for, but this weeks mod really has helped me prepare myself for the next time I need to observe a child or classroom.

Mod 9 Summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-03-22 22:05:09 UTC

In this week's lecture I learned about an in depth about observation. Naturalistic observations are when an Indvidual are being observed in their natural setting and the researcher foes do not try to manipulate the behavior. Interpreting observations is when the data is inputted after the observation then a hypothesis is formed. Nonparticipant observations is involves observing without actively participating whereas participant observation is when the researcher observes and involve themselves in the activities.

Cristina Serrato: Module 8 Summary

2023-03-23 01:51:45 UTC

For this week's module, we learned about qualitative research and its importance. An element I remember from this week's lecture is learning about the different type of ways to collect qualitative research. For example, the impact interviewing can have on qualitative data. I can agree that interviews tend to start a conversation with another individual and it is a formal way to ask people open-ended questions. I also learned that there is actually different ways to interview someone: fully structured, semi-structured and unstructured. The way we interview someone can change they way they decide to respond to us. As mentioned for this week's lecture, interviewing can have a lot of advantages.

Ashley Meza- Week 9 Summary

006409542 — 2023-03-23 03:19:43 UTC

For this weeks module, I learned about more in depth about observations. There are naturalistic observations in which an individual is being observed in their natural setting. There is also interpreting observations , which data is being inputted after the observation has a hypothesis. Lastly, there is nonparticipant observations, and that is when observations involve participation when the researcher observes and involves themselves in those activities.

tiffanee909 — 2023-03-23 19:45:56 UTC

In Module 8, a concept that I learned about was qualitative research. Something that stuck to me the most was the image of a sticky note where it showed the questions how, who, what, when, where, and why. These are great questions to ask myself when revising my research question. Qualitative research is based on persons behavior in a natural setting. The data that is collected for this research is in-depth information on a few individual in a limited setting. While qualitative is good for getting knowledge of the how and why, quantitive is good for testing the hypothesis.

tiffanee909 — 2023-03-23 19:59:53 UTC

In module 9, one of the main topics were methods for collecting qualitative data which consist of interviewing, focus groups, and observations. I learned that focus groups are groups of unrelated people formed by a researcher. Focus groups are a type of interviewing method. As for observations it provides and facilities in many different ways. Since I work with children, observation method is something I use a lot. I use it by closely watching the children and gaining data from what I observed.

Jessica Ledezma - M9

jessicaledezma — 2023-03-23 21:30:19 UTC

In this week's lecture, we learned about different methods for collecting qualitative data. One method that was talked about was focus groups. Which I didn't know was a type of way of collecting data until now. Focus groups are important because they're a way for the researchers to gather data from different viewpoints within a group discussion where everyone can contribute equally and it's free of judgment. Lastly, another method that was talked about was observations. Which can be either quantitative or qualitative. According to the lecture, observations are considered the coolest research method especially when it comes to children because the researchers can learn a lot by observing the child's actions and environment.

Mishon Johnson-Module 9 Summary

2023-03-23 23:10:14 UTC

This week's lecture discussed focus groups as a good way to get information about a specific topic because they allow for group discussion and the sharing of different points of view. However, limitations such as observer interference and generalizability were also noted. Focus groups might not be good for sensitive topics because talking about them with strangers might make people feel uncomfortable.

The lecture also talked about different ways to observe, such as structured, unstructured, and semi-structured methods. The goal of naturalistic observation is not to test hypotheses that were made before the study but to get a full picture of what happened. Limitations of observations were also discussed, such as the potential for observer bias.

To get around these problems, Creswell suggests using an "observational protocol" when doing systematic observation. This is a set of rules that includes both descriptive and reflective notes to record facts and personal thoughts about what was seen.

Cristyan Macias Module 9

007794248 — 2023-03-24 02:49:55 UTC

Going over the slides for this weeks module, I see information regarding observations. The first one I saw was naturalistic observation and this is when research is being taken in a natural area rather then in a laboratory. I think this is a good idea because it gives good, quality, real data and is important for specific tests being done. Also systematic observation is something that I saw in which you are very specific in which someone is collecting data. I was never aware of this type of observation but this is something that I can use for my research question.

Module 9-Valeria Molina

2023-03-24 07:40:20 UTC

This week's lecture we went more in depth on qualitative data and how we can use this data in a study through interviews, focus groups, and observations. This comes in handy when doing our final projects because as someone who will be using qualitative data to support my study I really enjoyed how we can use observations to comprehend and understand a study. Focus groups can be used in a study but we should limit using this method if the study is too controversial/emotional for those in the study to speak on. One on one interviews can be a better method to engage the topic.

Halie White week 9

2023-03-25 00:45:49 UTC

When considering observations it is important to know the differences. Structured observations consist of determining what you want to observe before the actual observation. Unstructured doesnt have a set method and just goes with what they observe. Semi-structured knows what they wan to ubserve but no specific plan. Lastly, observing in a natural setting where there is no attempt to influence behavior.

Module 8

I learned how quantitive and qualitative research are different. Quantitive shows us how many and how much, whereas, qualitative shows us the what and why. Qualitative shows us how important it is to gain knowledge. Quantitive is important that we know there is something to measure. I also learned that interviews are important because it shows us how we connect with others and hear their opinions/feelings. Interview techniques is also important because it guides us with communicating with others. Overall, this week's module was interesting and it gave me a better understanding of each topic.

Module 9

sashagomez215 — 2023-03-25 04:11:19 UTC

In this week's module, I got a better understanding how interviews, observations, and focus groups works. The interview part showed me how open-ended questions work and how important people's experiences are. The observation part shows me how structured, unstructured, and semi-structured can be seen through observing. It is important that we know how observations can been seen in different ways. Using field notes can help by collecting data. The focus group part gave me an understanding how to view certain issues and themes. Overall, this weeks module was very interesting

Qualitative research examines words and other non-numeric media like photos and documents, focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing their world in their own words, and emphasizes collecting in-depth information on relatively few individuals or within a very limited setting.

Types of qualitative data: Interviews (open-ended questions and probes yield in-depth responses), Observations (fieldwork descriptions of activities, behaviors, actions, conversations), and focus groups (type of qualitative research where small homogenous groups of people are brought together to informally discuss specific topics under the guidance of a moderator)

Naturalistic observation is research in which individuals are observed in their natural environment and researcher does not attempt to influence behavior. its goal is to provide a complete picture of what occurred not test hypotheses formed prior to the study. Data is interpreted after observations, then hypotheses are formed to help explain the data.

Creswell recommends using a descriptive and reflective notes: descriptive notes (detail factual information about what is occurring) and reflective notes (describe how you are reacting and feeling about what you are observing, as well as initial interpretations about what you are observing).

Qualitative Approach: (data that deal with description, and data that can be observed or self-reported, but not always precisely measured)want narrative or in-depth information, are not sure what you are able to measure, do not need to quantify the results

Quantitative Approach:
(data in numerical form, and data that can be precisely measured) want to conduct statistical analyses, want to be precise, know what you want to measure, want to cover a large group.

Module 9

008024283 — 2023-03-25 04:57:43 UTC

Module 9 consists of qualitative methods including research, and methods for collecting the data. There is three structures of observations: structured, unstructured, and semi-structured. Systematic observation is careful observation of one or more specific behaviors in a particular setting, the observations are quantifiable. The types of qualitative data consists of interviews, observations, and focus groups. Qualitative approach deals with description, can be observed/self-reported, less stricter, challenging to analyze, and usually generates longer reports. Quantitative approach is in numerical form, can be precisely measured, harder to develop, and easier to analyze.

Maria Rojas Module 9 lecture summary

2023-03-25 05:11:18 UTC

In this module, I learned about focus groups and how focus groups are conducted by group moderators. Group discussions can be useful since they are group based, but there can be limitations due to people in the group not wanting to share their real feelings or topics can be sensitive. What also stuck out to me is when collecting data, researchers use field notes to make sure they are taking very detailed notes to observe everything they see. There are two types. The first is descriptive notes that are actual facts you see in the setting. While the other is reflective notes. This one is your own observations. It is important to separate the two and not put them together.

Destiny Marin Jimenez module 9

2023-03-25 05:37:48 UTC

In this module I learned about focus groups and qualitative data. Focus groups are groups of unrelated people formed by a researcher and those individuals are strangers who have the time to participate. A limitation for focus groups is that it's not suitable for sensitive topics. Types of qualitative data are interviews, observations and focus groups and can give higher external validity with participant observations.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-03-25 17:54:12 UTC

And this weeks module we talk about qualitative research. We talked about the goals by using this kind of research which was that it focuses on people natural setting and it helps us see how they see the world through their eyes. Another thing the kinds of observation data which is naturalistic observation and interpreting observation data.

Cristina Serrato: Module 9 Summary

2023-03-25 20:00:15 UTC

For this week's module we continued to learn about qualitative research and methods. For example, I learned that there are 2 ways to conduct observations. One way is to actually participate and be involved in the specific event that is happening. Another way is to be just become an observer from afar, in this form you are not active participating in what is happening. I also learned that it is important to take into consideration to brainstorm before conducting an observation because it can help narrow down specific topics.

Module 9 Valerie Perez

2023-03-25 20:46:21 UTC

In this weeks module we continue to cover research methods. We begin by examining what are focus groups and how they are convenient in gathering data for companies and sales. This week also discussed the role of observer thoroughly and the benefits of being apart of the research.

Gabriela Diego Module 9 summary

2023-03-25 21:27:05 UTC

There are many reasons why researchers use observations as a main method to collect data and there are three different degrees of structure which are structured, unstructured, and semi-structured observations. I learned that field notes have to be complete, detailed, and true as possible for what was observed and it takes a lot of training and practice. Since it is the primary way researchers collect observation data, when we use naturalistic observation we want to avoid unnatural structured questions. We should also take into consideration that when we partake in a nonparticipant observation method that we might get a reactive effect meaning that the person being observed might react differently and alter their behavior. Systematic observation is interesting since the observations are quantifiable and researchers already have a hypothesis of the behavior they are observing.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 9

2023-03-25 22:33:17 UTC

This week we focused on research methods, specifically qualitative research methods. Qualitative research aims to focus on how other view the outside world. We want to be able to see how they describe their world in their own words. Some methods for collecting qualitative data can be focus groups, interviewing, and observations. There are both benefits and limitations for each type of method. The method used depends on what of data we want to collect as researchers. We want to be able to use the best method when interpreting our data. Qualitative data is different from quantitative data because quantitative is data in numerical form. It is data that can be measured such as height, cost, volume and temperature.

Jesus Leon:Module 9 Lecture Summaries

2023-03-25 23:15:24 UTC

In today lecture we learned about different types of qualitative datas such as interview, observations, and focus groups. Not only that but also about qualitative approach. In qualitative approach it is data that tends to deal with description. It can also be challenging to analyze and has longer reports however, it is less structured and easier to develop. In quantitative approach the data is numerical form and it is harder to develop but easier to analyze.

Sara Syed

2023-03-26 00:05:08 UTC

In today’s lecture, we went over different types of qualitative data. Call us research ends to focus on how others view the outside world, using tools, such as interviews, observations, and focus groups. What I learned from this topic is, it’s very important to narrow down to a specific topic because when you’re asking questions in your interview process, it can be very hard to get the answers that you’re looking for when you don’t even know what you’re asking to begin with. I also learned, although I personally do not like them group discussions can be useful, but there are limitations, do to people, not sharing their real feelings and a group of people they may not know.

Module 9 summary Shyanne Thomas

2023-03-26 01:51:13 UTC

In this weeks lecture we continued discussing qualitative methods focusing on interviews, observations and focus groups. the goal of this type of research method is to get the perspective of people in their natural state so that we can see their experiences through their eyes. We also learned that focus groups have limitations and may not be good because people may not want to discuss sensitive topics or not share certain feelings. Lastly their are two types of notes to collect, descriptive notes and reflective notes one being writing everything you see and the other writing about how you are feeling about what you see.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-03-26 01:59:07 UTC

Quantitative is when they conduct statistical analyses and have high internal validity with experiments. Qualitative is higher external validity with participant observations to quantify the results. I learned that Creswell recommends using an observational protocol in order to record field notes while you are in the field. Descriptive notes are information that intensify the description. Reflective notes describe how you are reacting. Also, it is an initial interpretation about what you are observing. Naturalistic observation is less useful for studying specific hypothesis by analyzing observational data is very complex and time consuming. Systematic observation is a careful observation in a particular setting as well as more quantifiable.

Montserrat Espinoza Armenta Module 9

006958972 — 2023-03-26 02:57:39 UTC

For this weeks lecture, we focused on qualitative data. There are ways of collecting data. this type of data. We can collect it by interviews, observations and focus groups. We can also do a naturalistic observation. This type of observation can be done when the objective is in their natural setting. For example, observing a child at home would be considered a naturalist observation.

Brenda Velador-Module 9 Summary

2023-03-26 03:08:01 UTC

Through reviewing this week's lecture and materials I learned about different methods of research. I found it interesting that through qualitative research there are multiple ways in collecting data. I also thought that the information about focus groups was interesting because they are groups of people that have no relation to each other.

Isabel Chavez

006929839 — 2023-03-26 04:02:32 UTC

During this week I learned about quantitative being surveys and qualitative being interviews. Even though these are very similar they are very different because one allows for response to be given back while the other one is something the person is filling out. I also need to remember that qualitative interviews allow for open-ended questions which means it will allow the interview to learn more about the person. I still get very confused between the both because they seem very similar. I can't find a way to memorize it but hopefully this time I will.

Isabel Chavez

006929839 — 2023-03-26 04:07:28 UTC

During this week I found very interesting the way observation are conducted and the different degrees of observation their is. One thing I want to remember is the observation protocol because working with children it require to observe the child very well and be very detailed when writing any type of documentation. I also appreciate the detailed slide in how to design an observation because even though it seems so simple to do it require a lot. When observing a person needs to prepare themselves mentally and know what they are going to be looking for.

week 9 Kylie Thomas

2023-03-26 05:47:08 UTC

During this weeks module we continued to learn about qualitative methods while focusing on interviews with different observations on the focuses groups. The goal of this is to gain different perspective of people in their natural area to see and learn through there eyes.

Week 9 : Lily G

2023-03-26 06:14:53 UTC

This week I learned about the continuation of comprehending qualitative research meothods, this weeks was more on focus groups and observational methods. As a review we talked how naturalistic observations are better then laboratory setting. Field notes and systematic obvs are important to the observational research (protocal is impo as well).

Ana M Module 9

2023-03-26 06:53:25 UTC

This week was a continuation of last lecture's understanding of qualitative research methodology. Understanding the importance of focus groups in a qualitative research helps me figure out if my research requires one. Only a few empirical research articles include focus groups in my investigation for previous research in my literature review, however one did use in-person observations. I will include natural observations in my proposal to get initial data to form enough open minded questions for the interviews to either change my initial hypothesis or add to it. The observer in my proposal can influence the behavior of the participants just by their presence so finding a way to prevent any potential risk, especially bias, from occurring would protect my research. Each site has a supervisor present, who would receive a document (possible descriptive notes) of how many students are present, how much are participating, name of the activity, teacher’s performance, and overall behavior of the group. My coding system would include Good/moderate/Bad behavior, time intervals would last 1 hour, and aspects of behavior (such as eagerness, avoidance, disinterest) would be observed/recorded.

Week 9 Module Joana Contreras

2023-03-26 06:55:55 UTC

In this lecture I learned how focus groups are important to research due to the fact that they can help collect opinions for the research that is being done. I also enjoyed learning about naturalistic observation, because it forces the researcher to not be able to micromanage certain aspects of the observation, but it also questions whether it can be ethical if the identities were to be exposed. I also learned that field notes are also useful as it showcases how both descriptive and reflective can go hand in hand with understanding the research that is being observed.

Desi Perez

2023-03-29 03:00:03 UTC

The things I found interesting and helpful this week were that field notes should include your descriptive and reflective notes. Descriptive notes detail factual information about what is occurring.
Reflective notes describe how you are reacting and feeling about what you are observing.

Emily Belcher - Module 9 Summary

2023-03-30 18:53:27 UTC

This week we are continuing to learn about qualitative methods. One thing that I thought was important from this weeks lecture was how to devise a focus group and what questions to ask. I hadn't thought about all of the work that would go into creating a focus group. Interviews, observations and focus groups are all apart of qualitative data. The key features of qualitative research was helpful in understanding more in depth on what makes up this type of research. Qualitative and Quantitative has always been confusing for me and I tend to mix them up, so it is nice when I can learn more differences to help me figure out which is which.

Sarah B.

2023-04-01 18:12:15 UTC

How can we know or be sure that we are using the correct research method qualitative or quantitative for a research project/topic?

004526027 — 2023-04-01 22:18:53 UTC

We took a closer look at qualitative data this week. Focusing on the different methods that make up qualitative research. There are three way of collecting qualitative data which are interviews, observations, and focus groups. When it comes to observations, there are a lot of factors to consider, whether you have a set idea on what times and behaviors you are looking to find or a more informal approach of observation in the natural environment. Interviews can also be formatted if there are specific questions you're inquiring about, but open ended questions can provide more insight than specific questions.

Module 9 Lecture Summary:Monsserrath Virgen

2023-04-03 19:22:31 UTC

On this weeks lecture, on furthering our knowledge on qualitative data was very informational to the addition of what we know about qualitative data. For example, qualitative data is used for in depth information as well as narratives. This method is also used for when someone may not be sure of what can be measured and does not need quantifiable results. In addition to this weeks lecture we also learned the three different types of qualitative data that can be collected which is by interviews, observations and focus groups. Learning more about the ways that data can be collected in qualitative research i s very interesting because we can also apply it in the future to our research.

Module 9

007960752 — 2023-04-05 02:19:29 UTC

This module discussed qualitative data. Three types are interviews, observations, and focus groups. In Child Development observations are commonly used to collect data. A structured observation is when the researcher knows precisely what will be observed. A naturalistic observation is when the researcher observes the participant in their natural environment. Quantitative data has higher internal validity with experiences, whereas qualitative data have higher external validity with participant observation. The qualitative approach is not always precisely measured, is less structured and easier to develop, is labor intensive, and usually generates longer reports.

Module 10

007960752 — 2023-04-06 02:36:26 UTC

This module discussed quantitative data, correlational research in particular. It is important to remember that correlation does not equal causation. Quantitative approaches focus on behaviors that can be quantified, it is harder to develop but easier to analyze. There are different types of relationships that can be displayed in a scatterplot. There are positive linear relationships, negative linear relationships, curvilinear relationships, and no relationships. Correlational research does not manipulate variables but can show how two variables are related.

Module 10 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-04-06 03:10:45 UTC

The correlational design focuses on descriptive questions. Descriptive questions focus on differences, associations and relationships between variables. There are four types of relationships: a positive relationship, where both variables increase; a negative relationship, where the dependent variable decreases as the independent variable increases; a curvilinear relationship, where the direction of the relationship changes at least once; and no relationship. The correlation coefficient shows the strength and direction of the relationship. A coefficient of 0 means there is no relationship, a +1 means there is a positive relationship, and a -1 means there is a negative relationship.

Rachel Favares Module 10 Summary

2023-04-06 04:44:27 UTC

For this module, we jumped into quantitative methods which differ from qualitative methods as they focus on specific behaviors that can be quantified and use more objective approaches to seek the measurement of such behaviors. This module focuses on the correlational design method which asks if and how two variables are related. It is important to understand the types of relationships between variables such as positive linear, negative linear, curvilinear, and no relationship and the correlation coefficients which determine the strength of the relationships which range from +1 (positive relationship), to 0 (no relationship) to -1 (negative relationship). The biggest point that stood out to be in this module is correlation does not equal causation! Just because there is an association between two variables does not mean one causes the other.

Adrian Avina

2023-04-06 22:25:10 UTC

In this weeks module, given the name, we go over the idea of correlation and how it can be applied in research. Correlational research on the other hand, shows us as researchers, how two variables can be linked together or related to one another. We also went over quantitative research methods which focuses on quantification. One thing that is important to remember when it comes to correlation is the idea that correlation does not signify that it is equal to causation.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 10

2023-04-07 00:33:31 UTC

This week's module covered quantitative research methods. One thing that was stressed was that correlation does not mean causation. Learning that if is association exists between variable does not mean causation. Another thing I learned is the types of relationships between variables. For example, positive linear, negative linear, and curvilinear. Understanding the differences between variables is going to be very helpful for my research project.

Destiny Marin Jimenez Module 10

2023-04-07 01:36:51 UTC

In this weeks module, I learned about quantitative research methods. Quantitative research focuses on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified and collect data in a numerical form. I learned about correlation and how it doesn't mean causation but can provide reliable evidence for examining research questions and testing hypothesis. Also, correlational research can't directly manipulate variables but can provide important evidence on how two variables are related.

Erika Smith - Module 10

007804141 — 2023-04-07 02:54:04 UTC

In week 11’s lecture, I learned which are the correlational designs. I learned that correlation does not mean causation. It was interesting to learn about the scatterplots; which they are mostly used as visual representation of correlational study data. Scatterplots are also known as scatter diagram or scattergram. In this week’s lecture it was more relevant to learn for me about the scatterplots, because they show the relationship between two variables in two dimensional space; which it is important to know for my final project.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-04-07 04:22:21 UTC

This week's lecture and supplemental resources taught us about Correlational studies. Correlational studies do not involve the manipulation of variables but rather assess their degree of association or correlation. The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that measures the strength and direction of this relationship between two variables, ranging from -1 to +1. It is important to remember that correlational studies do not prove causation; they demonstrate whether two variables are related. The relationship can be positive, negative, or zero depending on whether they tend to move in the same direction, opposite directions, or independently.

Module 9

007221221 — 2023-04-07 04:46:02 UTC

In module 9, we continued our conversations about qualitative methods, more specifically, the types of qualitative data. There are three types. The first are interviews, in which we ask open-ended questions and collect the data by using verbatim quotations. The second is observations where researchers are doing fieldwork and looking at behaviors and activities done by people. In observations, the researcher must make sure to write concise notes about what they observed. The last data type is focus groups. In focus groups, the researcher must bring together unrelated people to share their opinions about a product, event, or idea.

Module 10

007221221 — 2023-04-07 04:57:11 UTC

In module 10, we reviewed qualitative data and looked into quantitative methods more closely. We specifically learned about correlations. *Correlation does not = causation* To see a visual representation of correlations, we use scatterplots. You can have a direct relationship, where one variable increases and the other increases as well. Or you can have an inverse relationship where one variable increases and the other decreases. Zero correlation means there is no relationship between the events. In correlational coefficients the values range from -1 to +1. The higher the absolute value, the stronger the relationship.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 10 Lecture Summary

2023-04-07 19:29:18 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned more about qualitative and quantitative methods/data but went more into depth on quantitative methods. I also learned about correlational research/designs. In this portion of the lecture, I learned that correlational research cannot directly manipulate variables but can provide important evidence for defining a conceptual model of how two variables are related. Lastly, an important thing I learned was that correlation cannot establish causality but it can provide reliable and valid evidence for examining research questions and testing hypotheses.

Cristina Garcia- Mod 10

007696436 — 2023-04-07 20:28:42 UTC

For this weeks mod, I learned about Quantitative Approach and how its different from qualitative approach. Quantitative is good for when we know something is there and we need to measure it, such as testing a hypothesis. It uses information from qualitative research to seek precise measurement so that we can analyze a research easier. I also learned that quantitative has methods such as correlation. This method doesn't mean that it's caused by something rather it studies data to note the nature of the relationship between two variables. Not only are there relationships between variables but there are also third variable effects that we can look at such as the mediating variable, moderating variable, cofounding, and control variable.

Module 10 summary Shyanne Thomas

2023-04-08 00:48:21 UTC

This weeks lecture reviewed qualitative research methods and discussed quantitative methods as well as correlational designs. Quantitative is good for when we know something is there and we need to measure it. It focuses on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified. We covered correlational designs and relationships between variables like positive linear relationship, negative linear relationship, curvilinear relationship and no relationship. We covered scatterplots that show direct relationship and inverse relationship and it depicts the relationship between two variables in two dimensional space. Lastly we must remember that correlation does not mean causation.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 10

2023-04-08 03:49:18 UTC

This week we learned about quantitative methods. Quantitative Methods focuses on specific behaviors which can be quantified. With this method we use scientific methods to test hypothesis and theories. The data we collect is in numerical form. Some methods we can use are experimental research, quasi-experimental design and survey research. We also learned about scatterplots and how this shows the relationship between two variables. However we must keep in mind that correlation does not = causation.

Module 10

008024283 — 2023-04-08 03:53:51 UTC

Module 10 consists of approaches on data collection, quantitative approaches, casual vs correlational relationships, and the two correlational approaches. Qualitative is good to gain knowledge that is not suitable for set measurements. Quantitative is goof for when we know something is there and we need to measure it. Positive linear relationship is when the independent variable increases in value, the dependent variable also increases in value. Negative linear relationship is when the independent variable increases in value, the dependent variable decreases in value. Curvilinear relationship is when the direction of the relationship between variables changes at least once. Third variable effects consists of four variables: mediating variable, moderating variable, confounding variable, and control variable.

JASMIN GARCIA

2023-04-08 04:16:54 UTC

Qualitative:
Approach: typically inductive, focus on quality

Data collection: observational, descriptive using interviews, focus groups, and observations

Data analysis: iterative interpretation of textual data often involving identification of key themes through coding
Focuses: on the why and under what conditions

Quantitative:
Approach: typically deductive, focus on quantity

Data collection: descriptive, observational, correlational, quasi-experimental, experimental

Data analysis: statistical analysis of numerical data
Focuses: on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified

A correlation coefficient is a numerical index of the strength of a relationship
negative correlation: two variables change in different directions, with one becoming larger as the other becomes smaller; a negative correlation is not the same thing as no correlation
positive correlation: two variables change in the same direction, both becoming either larger or smaller between variables

Cristyan Macias Module 10 Summary

007794248 — 2023-04-08 18:46:30 UTC

In this module, I felt that I was getting a good comparison between qualitative and quantitive research and how they differ from one another. What stood out to me the most was the data analysis between the two types of research. With quantitive research they use numbers or statistical data, while for qualitative they are interpreting data that they have received. In the end they are both important to research however I like the idea of qualitative research if I was to test a theory of mine.

Yessenia Rubio- Module 10

2023-04-08 19:11:07 UTC

This weeks module was about quantitative research methods. Quantitative data focuses more on behaviors that can be quantified and data is collected in numerical form. One thing that really stuck to me was that correlation does not equal causation. In correlational coefficients the value ranges.

Jesus Leon Module 10 Summary

2023-04-08 22:29:07 UTC

In this week in module 10 we learned about quantitive methods and approaches. Something that stuck with me about this lecture is that quantitive approaches are data in numerical form where compared to qualitative it is more based on text. Quantitive data is also harder to develop but easier to analyze. The variables are also defined by the researcher. Then in quantitative methods it is quasi experimental design, survey research, and causal versus correlational relationships. These were the ones that stuck with me the most since it relates a lot with our research project.

Diana Olivares: Module 10 Lecture Summary

006967383 — 2023-04-09 00:07:17 UTC

In this week's lecture we covered quantitative methods and correlational design, as well as reviewed quantitative methods. A quantitative approach focuses on information or certain behaviors that can be quantified, it can be measured or counted and given a numerical form. I learned that a correlation coefficient is a numerical measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables, in which values range between -1 to +1. Scatterplots visually depict the relationship between two variables in a dimensional space. A takeaway from this lecture is that correlational research investigates the relationships between variables without controlling or manipulating any of them.

Maria Rojas Module 10 lecture summary

2023-04-09 01:27:39 UTC

In this week's lecture, I learned that there is a difference between qualitative methods and quantitative methods. One big takeaway I learned was how correlation does not mean causation. I also learned how there are different types of variables. These consisted of positive linear, negative linear, curvilinear, and no relationships. Depending on the different relationships can result in a different scatterplot look.

Ashley Meza - Module 10 summary

006409542 — 2023-04-09 02:52:26 UTC

For this weeks lecture, I learned that correlation does not equal causation and there are different types of variables. There is positive linear, negative linear, curvilinear, and no relationships. There is also quantitative methods and correlational methods . Quantitative data is much harder to develop but easier to analyze . For qualitative, they are interpreting data they have received and in the end they are both important to research.

Gabriela Diego Module 10 Summary

2023-04-09 02:59:07 UTC

For this module we focused on quantitative methods specifically on correlation designs. From what I understood correlation designs are the relationship between variables that the researcher has not controlled or manipulated them in any way. With correlation studies, we don't know what is causing what so it leads to a directionality problem and instead should be about how a study is conducted. One way we can quickly look at relational research and correlations is by scatterplots which are graphical representations that show how one variable is affected by another and the relationship between these two variables and how they correlate. To measure how strong a connection is we use correlation coefficient and this helps us see how related or unrelated things are. Finally, I understood what a third variable problem is and it occurs when two variables can be explained by a third variable that has not been accounted for.

Kasandra Carrillo Module 10

2023-04-09 04:25:29 UTC

In this week’s lecture we went over Quantitative Methods, mostly Correlational Designs. I learned about the relationships within variables, consisting of positive linear relationship and negative linear relationship. We also learned why correlation research is conducted, which is because of the statistical relationship between variables that is not a casual one. Overall this lecture helped me gain a lot of knowledge about Correlational designs.

Cristina Serrato: Module 10 Summary

2023-04-09 06:07:31 UTC

For this week's module, I learned about a specific type of quantitative method, the difference between causal and correlational relationships. More specifically, how scatterplots are used to understand correlational data. A scatterplot is a graph designed to represent the difference between two different variables. For this graph, there are two ways to identify the data of the study being conducted, whether it is a direct relationship or inverse relationship. I also learned how to recognize the relationship between variables. In this lecture, we were introduced to positive linear, negative linear, curvilinear relationship and no relationship.

Leslie De Leon

2023-04-09 07:03:39 UTC

In chapter 9 I learned more about qualitative data and methods. What I like about qualitative data is that the aim is to understand the views of people from their understanding and own unique experiences. The three ways of collecting data was conducted by observations, interviews, and focus groups. I found focus groups and observations to be pretty similar, but somehow confusing because it was a ittle difficult creating my own examples to help differentiate the two because it collects opinions from the participants. What helped me understand the observation data is that people are observed in their natural state and it is not intervened. Before getting into this module I believed that labratory experiments were most validated, but I was surprised to know that it is qualitative data!

Module 10 Summary: Monsserrath Virgen

2023-04-11 19:37:36 UTC

This weeks lecture was helped better understand the quantitative approach. As learned in the lecture this approach focuses on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified. For instance statistical analysis of numeric data as opposed to what we learned the previous week with qualitative data being textual. In addition to what else was learned is that correlation does not equal causation which I found to be very interesting. In the you tube video that was shown in the lecture, there was many different experiments that scientist have done for example in the video there was one that said people who spend more time commuting have less knowledge about politics. Now you would not think that these two factors correlate to one another. Which is really cool when being able to apply it in the real world.

For this week's lecture, I learned about quantitative methods. I also got to learn more about the different approaches between Qualitative and quantitative, this is something I would want to keep in mind in this class because it can quite get confusing learning the differences between them. A qualitative approach is an inductive focus on quality whereas quantitative is a deductive focus on quantity. Something interesting in this week's lecture was the scatterplots which were new to me. Correlational research cannot impact variables directly, it can offer significant support for a conceptual understanding of the relationship between two variables. The confounding effects of third factors can be addressed through correlational analysis, and it can distinguish between mediating and moderating variables.

In this module I looked over the quantitive methods and one of them being correlation design. Correlation studies cannot manipulate the independent variable and it is when two variables are associated. I learned the types of variables which include positive linear, negative linear, curvilinear, and no relationship. A positive correlation is when two variables change in the same way, and are both becoming either larger or smaller between variables.

Module 10 Lecture Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-04-12 03:11:02 UTC

In Module 10, I learned about the purpose of correlational research, as it’s conducted to identify variables that have some sort of relationship as a change in one variable can change something in the other. With this, the type of questions that are answered by correlations are descriptive questions. It questions if the variables are related by figuring out if one variable increases, will the other variable decrease or increase, so that one can understand how to obtain a numerical measure of the degree of the relationship, which, in turn, introduces the correlation coefficient. A takeaway was learning about the types of relationships between variables, as there are positive linear relationship, negative linear relationship, curvilinear relationship, and no relationship. In addition, the term linear means the description of the relationship between two variables.

Evelin Carranza Module 10 Summary

007938262 — 2023-04-12 03:34:47 UTC

This week I got to learn about correlation designs which are positive, negative linear, curvilinear, no relationships between each other. Scatterplots are the relationships of variables are two in dimensional space. Correlation is not unalike causation which is very interesting to learn about.

Rachel Favares Modules 11/12

The handout for these two modules was full of information on different quantitative methods that can be used in research which is when we collect and analyze numerical data for a specific research topic. The important things to note about quantitative methods are that they are a little stiffer than qualitative methods as they collect data through standardized tests which creates a much more objective standpoint and enhances generalizability because you can use it on larger samples. We talked about experimental designs such as true experiments, small N, and quasi-experimental studies, and then non-experimental designs such as correlational studies, survey methodology, and causal-comparative designs. The major difference between these experimental and non-experimental is while the first method involves manipulating variables and randomly assigning participants to conditions, the non-experimental does not do this but rather they investigate existing relationships between two or more variables A major point that is crucial to remember when doing non-experimental methods is as always that correlation does not mean causation! This is because just because two variables have a relationship, does not mean that one causes the other since there could always be more factors involved. Finally, the handout also went over cross-sectional, longitudinal and cross-sequential studies which are other ways of collecting data and depend on what the researcher wants to study and how long they want to study a variable for. Overall this handout is extremely helpful when you are trying to decide what kind of method you want to use if you are planning to use a quantitative design for your research.

Module 10: Marlene Quijada

2023-04-12 20:27:51 UTC

In this week's module we learned about the purpose of correlational research. Correlational research cannot impact variables directly, but it can offer significant support for a conceptual understanding of the relationship between two variables. The correlational design focuses on descriptive questions. We also went over quantitative research methods which focuses on quantification.

Adrian Avina

2023-04-12 20:33:15 UTC

Various quantitative research approaches are covered in the handout for these two modules. When we gather and examine numerical data for a particular research topic, we are using quantitative approaches. It's crucial to remember that quantitative approaches are a little more rigid than qualitative ones since they use standardized tests to gather data. This gives them a lot more objective perspective and improves generalizability because they can be used to bigger samples. We discussed both non-experimental designs like correlational studies and experimental designs like true experiments, as well as causal-comparative designs. One of these approaches uses variable manipulation and randomly assigns people to conditions, which is how it differs from the other.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-04-12 22:58:35 UTC

The independent handout review consists of quantitive methods. In child development quantitive methods are used to examine relationships that correlate with in variables, test hypotheses, and measure developmental outcomes. Questionnaires, tests, structured observations are done to collect data in a consistent manner. The research designs that can be used are quasi-experimental or non-experimental designs.

Ashley Meza - Modules 11/12

006409542 — 2023-04-13 03:30:18 UTC

The 2 handouts had a lot of informative information about different quantitative methods in research and when to analyze and collect for our research topics. It is very important to remember that the approaches are more rigid than qualitative methods and they use standardized tests to gather data. There are questionnaires , tests, structured data when doing the research.

Karen Olmos- Module 10 Summary

2023-04-13 04:06:41 UTC

In this week's lecture, we learned about quantitative and qualitative methods and approaches. Quantitative method is focused on behaviors where the scientific method is used to test theories and hypothesis. In qualitative data we are using numbers or the statistical data. We also learn that correlational research does not manipulate variables and actually show us how the variables are related.

Modules 11 & 12 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-04-13 05:14:15 UTC

Correlational studies look at the association or possible association between variables without the researchers performing any manipulation on the variables. I want to focus on this method specifically because I feel like it is what my research question would require. I also feel that my question may require the use of a causal-comparison design, in which there is a non-manipulated independent variable and two or more groups are compared to one another.

Module 11 & 12

008024283 — 2023-04-13 18:03:32 UTC

Module 11 and 12 consists of Quantitative methods in detail. Quantitative research involves the systematic collection and analysis of numerical data to describe, explain, or predict phenomena. Small-N designs involve the intensive study of a small number of participants or cases, often using multiple measures over time. Limitations in Small-N is it is limited generalizability: may be subject to confounding variables and researcher bias. Quasi-experimental designs are similar to experimental designs, but they lack random assignments of participants to conditions. Limitations in Quasi-experimental designs is that it cannot determine causation with certainty; may be subject to confounding variables. Casal-comparative studies involve comparing two or more groups on one or more variables to examine differences between the groups. Limitations in Casal-comparative is that it can not determine causation; may be subject to confounding variables.

When keeping observations in mind it is important to know the differences. Structured observations are determining what you want to observe before doing the actual observation. Unstructured doesn't have an exact method it kind of just goes more with the flow of what is observed.

Cynthia Tarazon Mod 10

2023-04-13 19:26:21 UTC

This weeks mod covered quantitative research methods. This research focuses more on certain behaviors that can be taken in numerical form. Also learned about correlational research and how it cant directly manipulate variables but it can give important information / evidence on how two variables relate to one another.

Cynthia Tarazon Mod 11&12

2023-04-13 19:55:25 UTC

This handout consist of information on quantitivie methods with research. It helps know when to use it and analyze / collect information on the topics being researched. This type of research requires standardized tests to be able to collect data. There are questionnaires, tests, and structured observations done to be able to collect the data.

Alyssa Ortiz Mod 10 Summary

2023-04-14 04:40:33 UTC

For this weeks module, we discussed Quantitative methods such as correlation designs. Correlation designs are the relationship between variables. However, correlation does not imply causation.

Alyssa Ortiz Mod 11&12 Summary

2023-04-14 04:50:12 UTC

These modules continue going in depth about Quantitative methods in research. When using this research, standardized tests are being used like questionnaires, observations and other tests. Using this method helps us gain an understanding of correlating relationships between variables.

Sarah B.

2023-04-14 06:21:10 UTC

This week I learned about the different types of qualitative data. How when interviewing participants one should ask open ended questions that yield participant responses of their experiences. Observational data observes individuals actions, behaviors and any type/aspect of their experiences. Another good way to collect information is through focus groups, because they are good for documenting information that may be of interest to others. Observational field notes can also help, but must have very descriptive methodology because that way researchers get a full and complete picture of what they observe and must add factual notes such as, individuals, events that took place. Etc. Basically the who and what is around the time you observed what was taking place around you.

Mishon Johnson/Wk-12&13 Summary

007820768 — 2023-04-14 16:26:52 UTC

For this week's module the things that really stood out to me were validity and reliability how they are important concepts in quantitative research, with validity referring to the accuracy of the results and reliability referring to the consistency of the results. Common statistical techniques used in quantitative child development research include descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression analysis, and multivariate analysis.
In addition,different quantitative research designs have their strengths and limitations, such as experiments requiring temporal precedence, small-N designs being resource-intensive, correlational studies not demonstrating causality, and survey methods relying on self-reporting.

Mishon Johnson Wk-11 Module 10 Summary

007820768 — 2023-04-14 16:32:56 UTC

My take-aways from this week's module are that there are different types of correlational designs, including positive, negative, and zero correlations. Positive correlation occurs when two variables increase or decrease together, negative correlation occurs when one variable increases as the other decreases, and zero correlation occurs when there is no relationship between the variables. Also, correlational design is a useful research method that allows researchers to examine the relationship between variables and generate hypotheses for future research.

Module 11 & 12 - Erika Smith

007804141 — 2023-04-14 18:46:25 UTC

In this week’s Quantitative’s Methods Handout, it was important to review what is the quantitative research, what are the characteristics of these quantitative researches and the key reminders in Child Development Research. The chart of the research designs; such as, Experiments, Quasi-Experiments, Small-N Design, Correlational Studies, Survey Methods, Causal Comparative Design; all those are going to be very helpful to find the information for my final research project. Also, the key defining features and example questions from each research design is very beneficial to understand each study.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 11 & 12

2023-04-14 18:49:09 UTC

The handout for this module on quantitative methods was very helpful. Quantitative research involves the systematic collection and analysis of numerical data which then explains a phenomenon. The handout explains the different types of non-experimental methods. For example, experiments, correlational studies, survey methods, small N design, quasi experiments, and causal comparative design. I appreciated that the handout explained each method which is helpful when deciding on which design to use for my final project.

Module 9 Lecture Summaries: Estefani Canseco

2023-04-14 19:30:48 UTC

In this chapter I learned about focus groups and how they are run by group moderators in this subject. Because they are group-based, group conversations can be helpful, but they can also have limitations because group members may not want to express their true emotions or
because the things they debate may be touchy. What also stood out to me was the fact that researchers use field notes to ensure they are taking in-depth notes on everything they encounter while gathering data. In total, there are two. The first are descriptive notes, which are details you may observe in the environment. The other is a set of thoughtful notes. You made the observations for this one. It is crucial to keep the two apart and avoid combining them. With this I learned about observations, and interviews along with focus groups that was mentioned.

Module 10 (Week 11) Summaries on Correlational Design: Estefani Canseco

2023-04-14 19:50:25 UTC

In this lecture we studied about quantitative approaches. Quantitative methods concentrate on particular actions that may be measured. With this approach, we examine hypotheses and theories using scientific procedures. The information we get is numerical in nature. Experimental research, quasi-experimental design, and survey research are some of the techniques we can employ. The use of scatterplots to illustrate the relationship| between two variables was another thing we learned. However, it is important to remember that correlation does not imply causality.

Module 11 & 12 (week 12 & 13) summary on independent handout: Estefani Canseco

2023-04-14 20:47:12 UTC

Information about quantitative research methods is included in this handout. Knowing when to use it and analyzing and gathering data on the study topics are both aided by this. Standardized exams are necessary in order to gather data for this kind of research. To gather the data, tests, questionnaires, and systematic observations are conducted. This handout is very helpful in deciding what method you want to use and what kind you are planning to use for your research. We also went over experimental designs and non experimental design.

Module 9 summary

007669461 — 2023-04-14 21:34:25 UTC

I really enjoyed this weeks lecture. It helped me really grasp how the qualitative method works. I was debating what method to use for my final project and now that I know exactly how qualitative works I will be using this method. Qualitative was created after world war 2 and it made a big difference in ways researchers approached things. This method focuses less on "numbers" and more on persons experiences and opinions. It helps researchers fully understand how a person is feeling about certain things. It's a deeper understanding. This method is less structured and might take longer to collect all the data needed. You can also use direct quotes from people you are interviewing. Theres 3 different ways you could use this method. The first one is by doing interviews, second is observations, and lastly doing focus groups. In our lecture you brought up the question is we feel using focus groups could potentially make it difficult for people to open up. I think so yes. I could see how it would be a little harder to open up about your experience or opinions in front of people you don't know. I know I would have a hard time. Overall, this weeks module was the perfect add on to last weeks lecture. Helped me get a better understanding of the qualitative method.

Vanessa Barragan Mod 11,12 Handout summary

2023-04-15 00:38:27 UTC

In the handout is it talks about quantitative approach which involves the systematic gathering and study of numerical data in order to define, understand, or predict events. To be able to analyze correlations between variables, test hypotheses, and measure developmental outcomes, quantitative approaches are often used in child development research. To gather data quantitative research frequently uses questionnaires, tests, or organized observations. The handout also gives us information about Experimental, Small-N, and Quasi-Experimental Designs in Research. Small N Designs involve a small group of people using different measurements over time this design is mostly used in clinical psychology and neuropsychology. Quasi-Experimental Designs lack random assignment of participants, the researchers rely on existing groups to be able to examine the effects of an independent variable on a dependable variable. Something helpful to know as well is that survey studies is collecting self-report data from participants through questionnaires or interviews. This way we can know how they feel such as behavior wise and opinions.

This week we learned about understanding correlational research in quantitative methods. For one, how scatter plots can graphically depict the relationship between two variables in a two dimensional space. Correlation does not mean causality. Also, we learned about third variable effects such as mediate variables that answer the how and why, moderating variables that answer under what conditions, the confounding variable that is related to the independent and dependent variables and the control variables that can measure the effect and identify the controls in a research design.

JASMIN GARCIA

Quantitative research involves the systematic collection and analysis of numerical data to describe, explain, or predict phenomena.

Quantitative research typically employs standardized instruments, such as questionnaires, tests, or structured observations, to collect data in a consistent and systematic manner.

The quantitative approach emphasizes objectivity in the research process, aiming to minimize the influence of personal biases and ensure the reliability and validity of findings.

Data collected in quantitative research are numerical, allowing for statistical analysis and interpretation.

Quantitative research often involves the testing of specific hypotheses derived from theory or prior research.

Quantitative studies often use large, representative samples to enhance the generalizability of findings to the broader population.

Module 10

sashagomez215 — 2023-04-15 16:25:51 UTC

For this week’s module I learned about quantitative approach and methods. Quantitative approach shows us how behavior can be quantified and can use scientific method to test its hypotheses and theories. Whereas, quantitative methods is experimental research. Correlation not = to causation. One take away that caught my eye was the relationships between the variables. It gives us four different variables. Overall, this module was interesting.

MODULE 10 SUMMARY VALERIE PEREZ

2023-04-16 00:51:36 UTC

This module again focused on qualitative versus quantitative methods. We learned that correlation does not mean causation which is important because it can be used in so many aspects research and life. We furthered reviewed variables and how they can be linear. There were 4 types of relationships between variables such as positive,negative,curvilinear and no relationship at all.

Isabel Chavez

006929839 — 2023-04-16 03:10:08 UTC

In this weeks module I learned a greater understanding of how to test a qualitative hypothesis. Also, the different methods of quantitative methods are very simple and similar to the qualitative methods. One thing I found very interesting was the relationships between variables. This is something that is going to be very important for our research so it's something I want to remember.

tiffanee909 — 2023-04-16 03:48:57 UTC

In Module 10, something that I learned was the "Third Variable Effect." The Third Variable Effect consist of many variables such as mediating, moderating, confounding, and control. The two variables that stuck out to me the most were mediating and moderating. Mediating variable is based on the how and why, while moderating is conditions and circumstances. Something that was helpful when understanding this concept were the images alongside the slides of third variable effect. It helped to show the relations of the variables.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 11 &12

2023-04-16 05:19:35 UTC

The handout we did reviewed quantitative methods. Questionnaires, observations and test are types of quantitative methods which are used to gather data. Quantitative research is different from qualitative research in that the collecting and analysis of the data in quantitative research is collected in numerical data. Child development research uses quantitative methods to examine the relationships between variables, test hypotheses, and measure developmental outcomes. Everything I learned affects my project because when choosing to conduct an experiment on children it is important to protect the well-being of the participants.

Sara Syed

2023-04-16 05:35:37 UTC

This week's lecture covered the qualitative method a bit which covers understanding views of people from there understanding and experiences and the quantitative method which covers behaviors in numerical forms. We also went over how correlation can mean causation but is never assumed it is. Variables are defined by the researcher

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-04-16 06:48:18 UTC

This week I learned about Quantitative Methods. I learned to measure how strong a connection is we use correlation coefficient. I learned that correlation does not mean causation. I learned that there is positive and negative linear. I learned the correlational coefficients have many values that ranges.

Alexa Hernandez: Modules 11 & 12 Summary

2023-04-16 07:26:58 UTC

The handout for these modules was based on a review of quantitative methods, experimental, small N and quasi-experimental studies, as well as non-experimental designs. One important thing I noted was that quasi-experimental designs are similar to experimental designs, however, they lack random assignment of participants to conditions. Instead, researchers rely on existing groupings (e.g., classes, schools) or naturally occurring events (e.g., policy changes) to examine the effects of an independent variable on a dependent variable. Lastly, I learned that small-N designs involve the intensive study of a small number of participants or cases, often using multiple measurements over time, and are common in fields such as clinical psychology and neuropsychology.

Ana M. Summary

2023-04-17 03:15:49 UTC

This week’s handout helped us to understand and form the method’s section of our class final. I chose a correlational study that follows the association of two relationships in a natural setting. However, I will need to interpret the results of my study, find alternative explanations and confounding variables due to my experiment’s results are not the source of causation for the observed behavior. It was refreshing to read about the directions of positive and negative association. Positive correlations indicate that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases meanwhile negative correlations indicate that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. Which will be useful in interviews and reviewing the data in a survey collection. I chose a longitudinal study that focuses on assessing the behavior and changes of a group of consistent participants over an extended period.

004526027 — 2023-04-17 04:48:15 UTC

This week's focus was
quantitative methods, specifically correlation designs. It involve the use of statistical analysis to investigate relationships between two or more variables. These designs measure the strength of the relationship between variables by calculating the degree to which one variable influences another. This can be done by calculating the correlation coefficient, which ranges from -1 (indicating a strong negative relationship) to +1 (indicating a strong positive relationship).

Evelin Carranza Module 11 &12 summary

The handouts review is about the different quantitive methods which examines relationships by collecting research. There are questionnaires, structured data, and tests that will help to gather information that is important. It depends on what the researching is about and how to analyze it in child development.

2023-04-18 19:34:32 UTC

The handouts review the different quantitive methods which examines relationships by collecting research. Questionnaires along with test types are types of quantitative methods used to gather data. Quantitative research is different from qualitative research in collecting and analyzing data. There is also information about experimental, small-n, and quasi-experimental designs in reseach.

Mod 10 summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-04-18 22:22:32 UTC

In this week lecture I learned about quantitative method and the two type of relationships: casual and correlation. Correlation is the direction of two variables and can be positive or negative. While causality shows the cause and effect of two or more variables. The importance of conducting correlation research is if the two variables does not consist of a causal relationship.

2023-04-19 05:41:40 UTC

Quantitative research designs can take several forms, including experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and survey designs. Experimental designs involve manipulating one or more variables to test their effects on an outcome of interest, while quasi-experimental designs are similar but lack the random assignment of participants to conditions. Correlational designs examine the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them, and survey designs involve administering questionnaires or interviews to a sample of participants to collect data.

Quantitative research can be advantageous in that it allows researchers to test hypotheses and generalize findings to larger populations. However, it may also be limited in its ability to capture the richness and complexity of human experiences, and it may rely on narrow measures that do not fully capture the constructs of interest. Additionally, quantitative research designs may not be appropriate for all research questions or contexts, and researchers must carefully consider issues such as sample size, sampling techniques, and statistical analysis in order to ensure the validity and reliability of their findings.

Jesus Leon Modules 11&12 Summary

2023-04-19 17:42:30 UTC

In this week lecture it was based off a handout to which had really great information on the different methods of research for quantitive methods. The one that stood out for me was the non experimental design which are research methods that do not involve manipulation of variables or random assignment of participants to conditions. Then it went to tell the three types of non experimental designs which Arre correlational studies, survey studies, and causal-comparative studies.

11&12 summary VALERIE PEREZ

2023-04-19 23:13:52 UTC

These last two weeks we cover methods in quantitative research in detail. There are experiments, quasi-experiments,SmallNDesign, correlational studies, survey methods, and casual comparative design. True experiments have inernal validity which assess cause and effect, and there is a controlled variable. Quasi-experiements have external validity and describe natural occurrences and sometimes can have controlled variables. We also review that causation and how correlation are not the same. There was a lot covered in this module

Luz Iribe Perez

2023-04-20 03:50:40 UTC

This weeks lecture was very enjoyable in my opinion. I liked that we are still getting information on how to cite APA resources. I personally think it has been very helpful because from previous classes we mainly did MLA. We learned about different types and styles of qualitative interviews. This is a big part in research because from this is where you will be finding information. As mentioned in the lecture, interviews are very significant. Learning this is super helpful because we learned that qualitative research focuses on peoples behavior in natural settings.

Luz Iribe Perez

2023-04-20 04:01:45 UTC

For this weeks lecture we learned about methods for collecting qualitative data. I found myself learning and reviewing a couple of things. Qualitative research methods involve interviewing, observations, and focus groups. Having focus groups is very useful over individual interviews. One thing that really stuck with me throughout the lecture was when discussing the limitations of focus groups. I did agree that when having focus groups and being in a group discussion some sensitive topics will not be fully developed. I really liked this lecture and it made me feel better towards my project.

Luz Iribe Perez

2023-04-20 04:30:42 UTC

I felt like this lecture had a lot of useful information, thankfully it all added up and made complete sense. The main thing I learned from this lecture was that Correlation does not mean causation. Correlation means the relationship/ connection between one or more variables. When doing research with correlations I learned that we cannot directly manipulate the variables. Although, correlation is very useful for a researcher to easily gather data from different participants. I found the chart of relationships between variables very helpful. The chart showed us the difference between positive and negative linear relationships and no relationship. The last example was a curvilinear relationship.

Module 7 (stephanie hernandez)

2023-04-20 05:21:20 UTC

One of the important things we learned from this lecture was the characteristics of a GOOD research question. I found it so helpful that these 5 steps to ensure creating a good research question was explained as the word “finder”. I will always remember finder stands for, feasible, interesting to the researcher, novel, ethical, and lastly relevant. All these five things play a huge part in creating a perfect research question. During this lecture we also learned about the meaning of validity and reliability. Reliability means having the same data collected each and every time over repeated test or observations. However, this does not mean it is always accurate. Validity on the other hand is a term to describe the certain measure that reflects the concept it is included to measure. Validity is very important because it proves the results are statistically correct and it generalizes the findings to different populations.

M10 - Jessica Ledezma

jessicaledezma — 2023-04-20 05:22:24 UTC

For this week's lecture, I learned the difference between qualitative and quantitative. One difference that I learned about is that for the approach part of qualitative research we focus on the quality while in quantitative we focus on the quantity. Qualitative data is useful for gaining knowledge that is not suited for quantitative measures by discussing how and why. Quantitative is useful when you know something exists and has to be quantified in order to test a hypothesis. The information I learned in this week's lecture really helped me understand why my research project is considered quantitative and not qualitative.

M11 & 12 - Jessica Ledezma

jessicaledezma — 2023-04-20 05:32:19 UTC

For this week's lecture, I discovered that quantitative research entails the systematic gathering and analysis of numerical data in order to describe, explain, and predict phenomena. This week's lecture really helped me in my research project because I was able to find out which research design I would be using. I ended up going with survey methods and collecting data through interviews. I was also able to see that with survey methods I can ask questions that are open-ended questions which are very helpful for my research project. All in all I was able to gain a greater understanding of what quantitative research is and how to implicate that in my research project.

Module 10 (stephanie Hernandez)

2023-04-20 05:53:06 UTC

Starting off with this lecture it was nice having a review of the qualitative research method. Qualitative has a total of four different research designs. These are casual/experimental research, survey research, quasi-experimental design, and lastly correlation design. All these are four different ways the qualitative method could be used. In particular this week we concentrated on the correlation design. The correlation design tell you the strength between two variables. Correlation design informs you of multiple things such as the third variable effect, scatterplots, the coefficient, and the type of relationship. Something mentions a couple times in our lecture that really stuck to me was “correlation does not mean causation”.

Module 11&12 (stephanie hernandez)

2023-04-20 06:09:42 UTC

During this weeks modules we expanded on our knowledge on the quantitative method. Throughout the hand outs theres multiple examples that help us understand the quantitative method more into depth. By this point we are reminded that this method in particular uses numerical data unlike the qualitative method. Just as mentioned in our last lecture this type of method has a couple research designs that will help you find your results a lot easier. The designs mentioned in our hand outs was experiments, quasi-experiments, small N design, correlation studies, survey methods, and casual comparative design. Each of these designs have their own purpose to why they will benefit the research. For example, the survey method is a collection of self reported data from participants who participant in taking questionnaires and participating in interviews. This type of design would be beneficial in a study done of why parents think homework is unnecessary for instance.

Halie White Summary on handout

2023-04-20 19:55:52 UTC

When doing research, it is important ti make sure you chose the right approach. The first would be knowing if you are doing a qualitative or quantitative method. Next there is experimental studies and non-experimental studies. One thing that sould be remembered is the different wasy of gathering information and the impact of validity and reliability.

Mod 11/12 summary

Zoiwilliams20 — 2023-04-20 21:28:22 UTC

In this week lecture I learned about quantitative method in greater details. Quantitative method consists of five characteristics. Structured data collection, objectivity, numerical data, hypothesis testing, and generalizability. Quantitative method consists of two types of relationships: casual and correlation. Correlation is the direction of two variables and can be positive or negative. While causality shows the cause and effect of two or more variables. The importance of conducting correlation research is if the two variables does not consist of a causal relationship.

Modules 11 & 12 Summary

dayanarahermosillo — 2023-04-21 01:12:35 UTC

The handout on quantitative methods given this week restored my prior knowledge about these types of methods while also providing me with new information about how these methods are used in child development research. With this, I did recall that quantitative research involves the systematic collection and analysis of numerical data since this is used to describe, explain, or predict, but I learned that in child development research, quantitative methods are used to examine relationships among variables, measure developmental outcomes, and test hypotheses. In addition, it’s key to choose an appropriate research question in child development research as it’s instrumental in picking a suitable research design like correlational, survey, causal-comparative, etc., as it will align your question and objectives. It’s also important to become proficient in statistical techniques for this type of research, as they are commonly used in child development research. Descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression statistics, etc. can be used. A takeaway that I always pay close attention to is the ethical implications, which I see as incredibly important, as in child development research it's our responsibility to protect the well-being of our child participants and their families, which can be done through confidentiality, anonymity, or consent forms. I also learned that once results are received from child development research, they should be presented in a clear manner, and one way to do this is by using visual representations.

Montserrat Espinoza Module 11&12

006958972 — 2023-04-21 02:16:27 UTC

Module 11 and 12 covers quantitative approaches. A quantitative approach gathers numerical data to be able to understand, predict, and define things. The data collected in this type of research is numerical. This research uses standardized tests to collect data. We can use questionnaires, observations and tests.

Montserrat Espinoza Armenta Module 10

006958972 — 2023-04-21 02:22:19 UTC

In module 10, I learned more about quantitative approach. This type of approach is useful when wanting to learn the measure of something. We learned about correlation, correlation does not equal causation. If we have zero correlation then we have no relationship between things. It is important to remember that correlation research does not impact variables directly but instead support the understanding of two variables.

Destiny Marin Jimenez module 11 and 12

2023-04-21 03:21:22 UTC

This handout had a lot of information about quantitative methods and non-experimental design. non-experimental designs is a research method that don't involve manipulation of variables and are useful whenever experimental designs aren't ethical. the three main designs are correlational studies, survey studies and casual-comparative studies. casual comparative studies can be done through cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies and cross-sectional studies and there was a helpful chart to help you figure out which method would fit your research question best.

Kylie Thomas 12&13

2023-04-21 03:30:05 UTC

Quantitative research involves collecting and analyzing numerical data through standardized tests, creating an objective standpoint and enhancing generalizability. Experimental designs manipulate variables and randomly assign participants to conditions, while non-experimental designs investigate existing relationships between variables. Correlation does not imply causation in non-experimental methods. Cross-sectional, longitudinal, and cross-sequential studies are ways of collecting data, depending on the researcher's goals and time frame. The handout is a helpful guide when choosing a quantitative research method.

Brenda Velador-Module 11/12

2023-04-21 05:03:15 UTC

The handout that was given to us this week gave us more information on what we have been going through these past few weeks. Which is quantitative methods in research. The handout had information on when we should be using the quantitative method. Information on how to go over the data information received was also on the handout. The research that is done through quantitative method is usually done through test, questionaries and observation. The information collected through these three different methods is where the data is collected from.

Diana Olivares: Module 11&12 Summary

006967383 — 2023-04-21 06:27:56 UTC

In this week’s handout we covered experimental, small N, and quasi-experimental studies, including non-experimental design and quantitative design. Within experimental designs manipulation of an independent variable occurs and there is a random assignment. Small N designs involve looking at the same subjects over time, this also includes a smaller number of participants. While Quasi experimental designs aim to evaluate interventions however they lack randomization of participants, this design is similar to experimental designs. Though within non-experimental designs groups are already existing and researchers can not and do not attempt to manipulate an independent variable. A takeaway from this handout are the strengths and limitations within each research design including the key considerations of each.

Summary for Modules 11 & 12

007221221 — 2023-04-21 07:03:18 UTC

In this weeks module we took a closer look at Non-experimental designs. We learned that in non-experimental designs, there is no manipulation of variables. There are three types of Non-experimental designs: 1. Cross-sectional, comparison of two or more pre-existing groups people 2. Correlational, looks at the relationship between two variables (no attempt to influence variables) and 3. Observational, which seeks to explore an aspect of the world. In observational research, there is something called "covert research" where the participants don't know they are being observed.

Sara Syed

2023-04-21 08:42:38 UTC

The handout covered various quantitative research approaches, the purpose of this handout is to help you get a sense of quantitative methods in detail so you can prepare for your methods our own research. The handout also had us review key approaches in child development and then try it out for ourselves.

Cristina Garcia- Module 11 &12

2023-04-22 00:12:53 UTC

These two modules and our class activity helped me understand much better about quantitative methods. At first I was feeling a little over whelmed because there was so much information about this one method but as I read along, I realized its not as complicated to understand. The key reminders and characteristics as well as the flowchart on pg. 13 really helped me understand why and how we can use quantitative methods in certain studies. Overall I feel very confident to use this information for future studies.

Module 11&12 Handout Summary Shyanne Thomas

2023-04-22 01:10:04 UTC

This weeks handout went more in depth with quantitative methods. we looked at different research designs that are quantitative and can help us answer our research question and test our hypothesis. we reviewed small-n, quasi-experimental, and experimental designs. we also looked at non-experimental designs where we don't randomly assign participants to conditions and variables are not manipulated. the three types are correlational studies which is used to see a relationship between two or more variables without manipulations, the next is survey studies where data is collected from self-reporting questionnaires or interviews and the last one is Causal-comparative studies where you compare one or more groups on one or more variables and see the differences. Lastly we looked at cross-sectional, longitudinal and cross-sequential designs and when to use them in a research design.

Desi p

2023-04-22 16:25:43 UTC

I liked understanding better about Non-Experimental Designs in Child Development and that Non-experimental designs are research methods that do not involve manipulation of variables or random assignment of participants to conditions. These designs are useful in situations where experimental designs are not feasible or ethical.

Cristina Serrato: Module 11/12 Summary

2023-04-22 18:23:08 UTC

For this week's module, we reviewed a handout that contained information about quantitative methods. Quantitative methods can be described as systematic group to describe or predict events or situations. I learned that usually for any type of child development research, this type of method is used to determine variables and hypotheses. More specifically, we learned about experimental and non-experimental designs. For experimental, there are experiments, quasi- experiments and small-n design. As for non-experimental, there are correlational studies, survey methods and causal-comparative design.

Module 11/12 Summary

007960752 — 2023-04-22 21:22:44 UTC

The handout for weeks 12 & 13 went into detail about quantitative methods for experimental and non-experimental designs. Examples of experimental designs are true experiments, small N designs, and quasi-experimental designs. Non-experimental methods can be used in child development. They do not manipulate variables and do not require random assignment, this is useful when working with children when you think of ethical issues that can arise from an experimental design. They can be used to examine relationships between two variables, like in a correlational design. The article and activity also focused on survey studies and causal-comparative studies. A survey study can be used to gather information about attitudes and beliefs, whereas causal-comparative studies can provide evidence for group differences.

Isabel Chavez Week 11 &12

006929839 — 2023-04-22 21:44:30 UTC

In this weeks module on independent handout, I learned a lot on quantitive methods. I learned a variety of experimental designs. For example, what types of conditions are required for an experiment to be "true". This was honestly mind blowing because it is three simple steps to identify the main and final step for an experiment. Also, I learned the non-experimental designs. Such as correlation studies, survey studies, causal comparative studies, etc. We were given a lot of information that was very simple to read. I gain so much knowledge with this week because it is a handout that was simple to read and be able to go back to later on.

Gabriela Diego Module 11 & 12 handout summary

2023-04-22 22:10:28 UTC

On this handout I understood different research designs such as experimental, small-n, and quasi-experimental quantitative approaches to answer different research questions. These experimental approaches all use different approaches and they each have strengths and limitation tied to them. The stroop task experiment really got me and that is such a great way to exercise our cognitive function. I learned about non-experimental designs in child development which are correlational studies, survey studies, and causal-comparative studies. After reading the definitions and key characterisitics on each on, I realized that for my research poster I leaned toward survey studies and also considered the limitation it may hold on my ongoing research. There was a lot of information packed into this handout but we closed off on an overview of cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies, and cross-sequential studies, which I found interesting because they all deal with groups or cohorts of different groups and not so much on individuals. Lastly, I personally used the flowchart on my research poster to determine which way I should take my research methods and it definitely helped me!

Cristyan Macias Module 11&12 summary

007794248 — 2023-04-23 00:00:56 UTC

In the handout, we take a deeper look and I try to get a better understanding of quantitative research. I found the short comic strip at the begging of the handout to be quite funny. This is because we see that quantitive research is based more on numbers rather than meanings. The part that stood out to me the most was the handout to me was the information on how we can only see cause and effect relationships being determined by experiments to see the change in variables.

Emily Belcher - Modules 11&12 Summary

2023-04-23 02:24:31 UTC

This weeks module with the handout had a lot of good information on it about Quantitative Methods. The stroop task was interesting to participate in and was a little more difficult than I had anticipated. I liked the section about non-experimental designs because I didn't fully understand it when I first learned about it. They do not involve manipulation. I also can always use a refresher on correlation and causation. It can be easy to assume that they equal each other but they do not. I think the flow chart to decide what method to use was helpful and help to break it down so it was more understandable.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-04-23 03:38:17 UTC

For this week's module we did the handout on quantitative research and it helped me better understand the different types of non-experimental methods. The handout provided one to dissect what the main question the scenario was asking. In this handout we did Correlational Studies, Survey Studies, and Causal-Comparative Studies. Correlational studies investigates the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them. In the handout, the example given was parental involvement and children's academic achievement. Survey studies is collecting data from consenting participants. The example in the handout was investigating factors of parents' decision-making on their children's extracurricular activities. Causal-Comparative studies is comparing two or more groups on one or more variables and examine the differences in the groups. The example in the handout was the differences in the development of social skills in children who attend a traditional school and those who are homeschooled.

Joanna Contreras Module 11/12

2023-04-23 04:32:03 UTC

In this weeks module I learned how experimental designs differ from non experimental designs. Manipulation with variables isnt involved with non-experimental designs the way they are used for experimental designs. Their research designs differ as well- which are used to be measured quantitavely in a group setting. The different types of nonexperimental designs such as correlational, survey studies, and causal-comparative serve as a way to find the groups connection to other groups without having to seek out why they are connected.

2023-04-23 04:32:49 UTC

For this week’s discussions we used an interactive assignment to understand the forms of quantitative research studies. The information covered for this class activity included the variables and the research designs for quantitative data. Quantitative data uses numerical data analysis using discrete and continuous variables. The class activity definitely helped me understand the importance of measuring variables and testing hypotheses.

Evelyn Ramirez

2023-04-23 05:26:09 UTC

In this handout we talking qualitative methods and how they can be use to collect data that we need in order to test our hypothesis, variables, and outcomes. In the beginning it broke down the characterics of quantitative research. For example like structured data collection, objectivity, numerical data, hpothesis testing and generalizability.Within it we talked about cross sectional studies and what they are useful for and the application of it.

004526027 — 2023-04-23 05:42:24 UTC

Quantitative research approaches were highlighted in this lecture and handout. The activity on non-experimental research designs was a great practice for research questions involving a quantitative approach. The focus on non-experimental designs such as: Correlation, Survey, and Causal-comparative methods scenarios gave me more insight into my own research project and the methods I will apply. Data gathering methods consists of; questionnaires, standardized questions, and tests. An important fact to remember is that correlations in research do not equate to direct causation.

Daisy Pompa

2023-04-23 06:30:08 UTC

In these modules it describes the quantitative method. Within these quantitive methods there are different research designs. Some of the research designs that are mentioned are experiments, quasi-experiments, small N design, correctional studies, survey methods, and casual comparative design. It also explains the way experiments and limitations are needed to make research true.

Maria Rojas Module 11&12 Module summary

2023-04-23 06:38:35 UTC

This week's module handouts had a lot of information that helped understand quantitative methods. It consisted of quantitative research methods and non experimental designs. Quantitative research methods collects and analyzes data while experimental research designs manipulates variables. I also took away how quantitative research has multiple forms that are: experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and surveys. Another take away was how the Small-N design involves intense studies with a small group of participants.

Gabriella Rodriguez Module 11

2023-04-23 06:50:27 UTC

I learned the different research methods that I was confused about before. I can use this if I ever become a psychologist or therapist with the desire to learn new research. I can begin research on how children’s life at home affects how they perform in the classroom as well as affect their mental health. How the quality of teachers can influence the child’s academic performance if the teacher is doing its best to make sure they are being taught everything they need. I learned that every research design has its limitations as well as advantages. Causation and correlation are not the same. Causal-comparative studies involve comparing two or more groups on one or more variables to examine differences between the groups. They can provide evidence for group differences but cannot determine causation.

Lily Gomez

2023-04-23 07:01:52 UTC

For this weeks module the handouts given were really helpful to better understand quantitative methods in child development research. The examples given were helpful to better understand each different method there is and how to use them. This is important to know for conducting proper research and knowing which type of method will best fit.

Yessenia Rubio Module 11 & 12

2023-04-24 04:19:10 UTC

This module is consists of handouts that reflect on different research methods for quantitative. There are four different types of methods which are experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and survey design. Determining which method to use allows researchers to test hypothesis more specifically.

Brenda Popoca Mod 11 & 12 independent handout

2023-04-26 17:39:23 UTC

During this weeks lecture we learned about focus groups and how they can be unrelated that get recruited with time. Though there can be limitations to this due to generalizability. Or there can be more sensitive topics that need to be discussed but some might not be open to that. What is great about this observation being structured is that you can know exactly what youre studying and observing. Semi structured is another generalized idea about what going to be observed. We also learned about taking field notes and how collecting this type of data can be beneficial. It can give background for you later when you go back to study your observations.

mod10. week 11/12 Brenda Popoca

2023-04-27 18:34:26 UTC

During this weeks activity, we went over the things we have been studying these past few weeks. Quantitative research is an analysis of the numerical value we are looking to predict or explain. There are some distinct features to how the data collection is structured. This can be the form of questionnaires, tests, or observations that have been carefully structured. The objectivity of it is to minimize the influence of any personal biases and still have the research be reliable and valid. This research also does involve hypothesis testing that come from a theory or another research that was done. We also learned about how important it is to communicate what we find in an way that can be clear and still show what you found in your research. Numerical data is also a characteristic of this type of research that show the statistical analysis of the findings and interpret it. Lastly, one thing to note that because this type of research uses large samples, its enhances the generalizability of the findings.
Another thing to note, was we learned about small N Designs which is an intense study of a small number of cases or participants over time. Almost experiments which were also called Quasi-Experimental Designs.

Brenda Popoca Mod 10 (week 11)

2023-04-27 18:54:30 UTC

During this week's activities there were some handouts to help understand correlation and causation. Correlation can't manipulate the independent variable, whereas causal relationships can happen when there are changes in the other variable. Correlation is two variables being related but not cause the other. Quantitative research can have three methods, true experiments, quasi-experiments, surveys, and meta-analysis. We also learned about correlations and how to spot a positive correlation. It is two variables that change in the same directions and are both getting larger or smaller between the two.

Module 9

007677898 — 2023-04-28 08:08:13 UTC

During the lecture, I gained an understanding of the significance of focus groups in research, as they aid in collecting opinions. I found naturalistic observation intriguing because it restricts the researcher from micromanaging the observation and raises ethical concerns if identities are exposed. Additionally, I discovered the usefulness of field notes, as they combine both descriptive and reflective approaches to understanding the research being observed.

Module 10

007677898 — 2023-04-28 08:13:20 UTC

During this week's lecture, I gained knowledge about the distinction between qualitative and quantitative research methods. A significant point I took away was the concept that correlation does not imply causation. Additionally, I learned about various kinds of variables, such as positive linear, no relationship, and curvilinear, which can lead to diverse scatterplot appearances.

Modules 11&12

007677898 — 2023-04-28 08:17:53 UTC

The two handouts we were provided with contained a plethora of valuable information regarding various quantitative research methods and when to utilize them for our research topics. It is crucial to bear in mind that these approaches are comparatively inflexible to qualitative methods and employ standardized measures for data collection. This entails utilizing questionnaires, tests, and structured data while conducting the research.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-04-29 18:27:28 UTC

In this chapter we learned about validity and reliability within the research and data methods. Validity focuses on whether a measurement accurately captures the intended construct, while reliability assesses the consistency and stability of the measure over repeated administrations. Both validity and reliability are crucial aspects of measurement quality in research methods.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-04-29 18:33:41 UTC

Qualitative data methods are research approaches that aim to gather and analyze non-numerical data to understand and interpret social phenomena. These methods emphasize capturing rich, detailed, and context-specific information through various techniques.
These methods allow researchers to explore complex social phenomena, gain insights into participants' perspectives and experiences, and generate rich qualitative data. Qualitative data methods are beneficial when studying subjective experiences, cultural aspects, and social processes that cannot be easily quantified.

Module 2: Joselynn Vazquez

2023-04-29 20:19:46 UTC

For week 2 module, I found a better understanding on the differences between the independent and dependent variables of a study. I also learned more about what is applied research methods and how it relates to the findings of the research I will be researching more about. Looking over the slides I have have a more clear understanding about having the scientific research I will be looking to research as well as what I need when I conduct research. For, example, the research question, the literature review, the design, and the data I will analyze.

Module 3: Joselynn Vazquez

2023-04-29 20:34:42 UTC

In this week's lecture, I gained valuable insights into the literature review process. The presentation helped me realize that effective research involves more than just asking questions. Through the lecture, I learned how to refine my research focus and concentrate on my specific question and its outcomes. Additionally, I found the tips on article analysis to be particularly helpful. I learned how to scrutinize research findings and identify the useful information. The key takeaway for me was the importance of using related keywords while searching for research material. For instance, if my research question is about parenting styles, I now know that I can use research with similar methodologies to supplement my work.

Module 3: Joselynn Vazquez

2023-04-29 20:57:17 UTC

In this week's lecture, I gained an appreciation for the important role of the research question and the ethical considerations that underpin it. Upon reviewing the lecture slides, I grasped the fundamental essence of what constitutes good research. To identify quality research, it is essential to evaluate it comprehensively and ensure that it adheres to the "FINER" principles, an acronym that describes the ethical guidelines for conducting research. Additionally, we must ensure that the research we conduct is suitable and appropriate for all participants in the study. In summary, I found this week's lecture to be enlightening and informative.

tiffanee909 — 2023-04-30 02:42:35 UTC

In this module, I learned about many aspects relating to experimental designs. Something that stood out to me were the explanation of true experiments and quasi-experiments. True experiments is based on internal validity while quasi-experiments are external validity. True experiments are randomly assigned meaning individuals come in not knowing the assignment. It also controls the study procedure. Quasi-experiments uses non-equivalent groups which are groups that have already been used before and the assignment is not blind to them. The experiment has also not be in full control.

Kasandra Carrillo- Module 11&12

2023-04-30 03:49:07 UTC

The handout was pretty helpful considering it had a lot of information about quantitative methods and how to use them. In the handout we learned that quantitative research I usually uses standardized tests or structured observations to collect data.

Module 11&12

sashagomez215 — 2023-04-30 04:37:34 UTC

The handout was very helpful. It provided a lot of details about quantitive methods and how we need to use it. What stood out to me the most was how the handout gave us activities to do. It gave me a better understanding on how things should be done and how to practice. Each method provided to us can lead us how to find the hypothesis. Overall, it was useful because it shows us how to properly do our research and how to put it all together.

Kristin Lange Module 10

008047787 — 2023-05-01 00:29:29 UTC

This module discussed correlational design. This differs from causal relationship variables because one variable does not cause the effect in the other variable. Rather, there is an association between the two variables. Correlation is conducted more with surveys and the cause and effect are conducted as experiments. The variables either have a positive or negative relationship. This means that with a positive relationship, both variables increase in value. The negative relationship shows that if IV increases, the DV decreases. The degree of change of positive and negative relationship is represented by the +1.00 and -1.00 with 0 being no relation and both variables are linear. Correlational design is represented by a scatterplot.

Jada Carmichael Module 10

2023-05-01 04:17:41 UTC

In this weeks module we learned about correlational design. Which is the relationship between variables that is not controlled by the researcher. I also learned that there is postive linear, negative linear, curvilinear and no relationships. Lastly I learned that quantitative data is much harder to develop but easier to analyze.

Jada Carmichael Module 11 & 12

2023-05-01 04:23:35 UTC

The handouts for these two modules shows many information but mostly the difference between quantitive methods and how it is used in research methods. It also helps to know when to use it and analyze / collect information on the topics. Different ways such as tets and how to use them to collect the dat needed.

Module 13 Summary

007960752 — 2023-05-01 21:48:38 UTC

I am honestly trying to let go of focusing on my letter grade. I am trying to enjoy and absorb as much information as possible. What good is an A in all my classes if I am not able to apply what I have learned to the real world or the profession of Child Development? I lean more towards interesting professors and getting all C's; however, to continue in grad school, you need to have B's in your coursework. So I'll take a mix and be ok with B's in all my courses.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-05-02 01:01:19 UTC

I would rather have great and interesting professors but get all Cs. If I am not interested in the class it will be harder for me to want to learn. I would not benefit to take the class in any way because once I have to apply what I learned as a teacher I won't know what to do.

Claudia Alejandre: Module 13

2023-05-02 14:12:45 UTC

This is a hard question to answer. I do want interesting professors because that makes learning new material easier. A grade of “C” is not a bad grade it means that you are understanding the course work but not perfectly. I am not worried about getting all “As” either because I prefer a C and know the course material and apply it in the real world then get an A and not know how to apply that knowledge in real life. However, why couldn’t we have both.

Daisy Pompa

2023-05-02 15:56:43 UTC

This weeks module covered the differences between variables. It went over the differences in quantitive and qualitative approaches. It describes that in quantitative approaches the data that is collected consists of numbers. Scales and ratings versus qualitative is based on observation like notes, transcripts and things that have to do with words. In this module we also learn the. Different types of research methods and which one is appropriate to use in different scenarios.

Monsserrath Virgen-Module 11&12 Summary

2023-05-02 19:32:46 UTC

This weeks lecture on Quantitative methods there was an activity that helped me understand how to apply knowledge to non-experimental research design and the important considerations to think about when learning what kind of study to do, who your participants will be and what are the advantages and disadvantages for each research design. The ethical considerations in regards to the experimental research being done is a key part of conducting research as we have learned previously. Being able to apply this knowledge within real world examples made it easier for me to understand how to apply it and also think about research design as well.

Monsserrath Virgen-Module 13 Summary

2023-05-02 19:46:36 UTC

The lecture on Quantitative Methods-Surveys was very informational when discussing how to conduct surveys. I was able to learn what a Cross-Sectional Study is for example, it takes a single point in time and it does not involve the manipulation of variables. Which I found interesting because in this kind of study you do not need to manipulate the variables as opposed to the other studies that we have been discussing within a the class. Something else that stood out to me was in regards to rating scales, this was one of the rating scales that I was familiar with when thinking about the surveys that I have participated in. Overall I found this lecture to be very helpful.

In lieu of weekly lecture summary, redraw and submit your research inquiry cycle

Take a look at the inquiry cycle you submitted at the beginning of the semester at the google slides link. Then, based on what we have learned throughout the 5 units of our class, redraw the cycle with more details and making any updates you would like to make so it depicts your understanding of the research process.

This is a difficult question. However, over the years that I have been in College I have meet really good professors and they are tough graders and managed to pass their class with an A. I Am concerned with my grades because I want to continue to advance my education. Sadly, C’s do not get you into grad school. I think difficult professors allow you to fully understand the course and it will eventually teach you something in the long run but it does not mean you have to get a C. Also, can this question be reversed for professors? I have had professors that are rarely involved in their course and have strict grading policies. Others will not announce and post anything until a week before the semester is over.

Mishon Johnson's Module 14 Research Inquiry Cycle

2023-05-03 00:20:15 UTC

Here are somethings that I would include based on what we have learned throughout the 5units of class.
Identify a research question: Start by defining the problem you want to investigate. This could be something you're interested in or something that you think needs more attention. The research question should be clear, focused, and answerable with the available resources.

Conduct a literature review: Before conducting your own research, review the existing literature to see what has already been done on the topic. This will help you refine your research question, identify gaps in knowledge, and determine the best methodology for your study.

Develop a research design: Decide on the methodology you will use to gather data. This could be through surveys, experiments, interviews, or other methods. You'll also need to determine how you will analyze and interpret the data you collect.

Collect data: Use the methodology you've chosen to collect the data you need. Be sure to follow ethical guidelines and maintain accuracy in your data collection.

Analyze data: Once you have collected your data, analyze it using statistical or other relevant methods. Identify patterns, relationships, and trends that can help you answer your research question.

Interpret results: Based on your analysis, draw conclusions that address your research question. Be sure to consider any limitations of your study and the implications of your findings.

Communicate findings: Share your results with others through reports, presentations, or publications. Consider your audience and how you can effectively communicate your findings to them.

Reflect and revise: Finally, reflect on the research process and consider how you could improve it in the future. Revise your research question or methodology if needed, and continue to build on your knowledge and expertise in the area.

To change my inquiry circle, I am thinking about just adding more to the steps. I like the steps I had and the idea of it. Just wanted to make it a bit more detailed now since if learned from it.
Identifying the problem :

Hypothesis: A hypothesis is an educated guess or proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through research and observation. By formulating a hypothesis, one can make predictions about what might be causing the problem and then test those predictions to see if they hold up.
Observations: Observations involve collecting data and information about the problem through careful observation of the situation or environment. This can help identify patterns or trends that may be contributing to the problem.
Theories: Theories are broad explanations that attempt to explain why something is happening. They are often based on a body of scientific research and can help provide a framework for understanding the problem.
Personal experiences: Personal experiences can be a valuable source of information when trying to identify a problem. They can provide insights into how the problem is affecting individuals and can help to build empathy and understanding for those impacted by the problem.

Review existing literature :

What has been found
What is missing
What do we know/ don’t know?

Plan Research Design :

Deciding methods to answer research questions
Implementing the study: Once the research design has been finalized, the study can be implemented. This involves collecting data, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions based on the findings.
Pilot testing: Before conducting the full study, it is often beneficial to pilot test the research methods to identify any potential issues or challenges. This can help ensure that the study is able to provide accurate and reliable results.

Gather and Analyze Data :

Organizing information
Analyzing data for research question

Interpret and share :

Identifying the audience
Revise and submit findings

I would prefer both. I would like to get A's and I would like to have interesting professors. This is a very difficult question to answer, because having interesting professors make the semester more enjoyable; however, having A's gives a happy feeling at the end of the semester. Therefore, my answer would be: Having straight A's with interesting professors :)

Module 4 Lecture - Joselynn Vazquez

2023-05-03 03:36:39 UTC

This week's lecture was focused on the ethical considerations and benefits of conducting research. It emphasized the importance of transparency in research and ensuring that participants fully understand what their involvement entails. Additionally, I learned about the importance of formulating a clear research question and selecting appropriate research approaches, including both qualitative and quantitative methods. I found the difference between the both. Finally, the lecture highlighted the significance of protecting participants' privacy to minimize any potential risks or harm.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-05-03 03:40:13 UTC

This is a tough question. As I always try my best in all my courses and so far, have done well. I feel that in this class I might be getting a C.I have done my best to learn what the professor is teaching however I'm always overwhelmed with all the information. I would say I would rather get a C and understand the material versus getting an A and not learning anything in the course to apply in my career.

Fabiola Vasquez Module 13

2023-05-03 04:24:02 UTC

This week we focused on qualitative methods specifically surveys. I learned about features which make a cross-sectional study such as it takes place at a single point in time. It does not involve manipulating variables and analyzes the characteristics in each population. I also learned more about the different kind of survey responses such as closed and open ended. Open ended questions are more useful for exploratory research and closed ended questions are easier to code. We would also want to present important questions first. Something new that I learned was about the rating scales. When I complete survey, I often see how they use rating scales but didn’t know what this was called.

Module 13 Summary

allykmaggs — 2023-05-03 04:29:52 UTC

I would rather have interesting professors. In my experience, having interesting professors who are genuinely passionate about the subject in turn makes me more interested and invested. This makes it easier for me to get a good, passing grade. But if I had to pick one, I'd rather have interesting professors and get all C's than A's.

Research Inquiry Cycle

allykmaggs — 2023-05-03 04:42:53 UTC

1) Identify a problem or question based on your experiences or observations. At the beginning of this process, observations can be informal and based on day-to-day experiences. Once a problem or question is proposed, form a hypothesis.

2) Review existing literature to learn more about what has already been learned and explored about this topic. Reviewing existing literature also helps you as the researcher to find out what still has yet to be discussed or explored about your problem/question/hypothesis. This will help you with the following steps.

3) Plan how you will design your research and what method(s) you will use in conducting your research. Choose your methods based on your specific research question. Once you form your research design, implement the study using those methods.

4) Gather and analyze the data utilized from your research study, using various organizational methods to be able to accurately interpret the results in the following step.

5) Interpret the data you gathered. Write a journal and publish it to share your findings with other researchers, professionals, and other people across the world. Your findings might be used to help a future researcher in their own study!

Fabiola Vasquez Research Inquiry Cycle Module 14

2023-05-03 04:53:34 UTC

Identify Problem:

Start by identify what problem you want to address. This can start by address an area of topic you have an interest in. Your research question needs to be clear and specific. If possible, form a hypothesis on what you think you will find.

Review Existing Literature:

This is when you conduct research to see what has been done on your topic.

-what is information is already known.

-What is missing

Plan Research Design:

Decide which methodology is best to answer your question.

-survey

-experimental

-Interviews

-longitudinal studies

Etc.

Gather Data:

This where we organize the information gathered. We want to follow ethical guidelines when conducting out research.

Analyze Data:

We want to analyze the data found. Is the data we found answering the question we have proposed? Are there patterns that can be identified?

Interpret and share:

Who is the audience? This means who are we sharing the information with and what finding do we want to share. Sharing our data can be through presentations or publications. Which method is best for our audience?

Estefani Canseco: Module 13 Summary

2023-05-03 18:53:23 UTC

When discussing how to conduct surveys, the Quantitative Methods-Surveys lecture was very informative. I was able to learn what a cross-sectional study is, for instance, and that it only considers one point in time and excludes the manipulation of variables. Which I found intriguing since, unlike other studies that we have been covering in class, this form of study does not need manipulating the variables. Another item that caught my attention was the rating scale; it was one of the rating systems I was familiar with when I thought back to the surveys I had taken. This lesson was quite helpful to me overall. Also I would rather have a great interesting professor and wouldn't mind getting all C's or B's. I am not worried about an A but ill rather prefer to know the course material more and understanding it.

2023-05-03 20:41:00 UTC

1. Identify problem: first identify an issue you are interested in researching or learning more about. Develop an RQ and possibly a hypothesis that is clear, specific, and measurable.
2. Review existing literature: then you would conduct a literature review, here you can discuss what has already been researched on the topic/what is generally known about it. Compare, contrast, critique, and connect.
3. Plan research design: Moving on to the methods/research design, this is where you describe how you propose to conduct your study. Such as samples you intend to use, data collection, procedure, and the analytic plan.
4. Gather & analyze data: this is where you organize, refine, and make sense of your data that you collected from your study.
5. Interpret & share: lastly, draw conclusions from your study and research question. Including implications or limitations and references. Then bring it all together and share your findings.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-05-04 00:27:25 UTC

Identify problem: Starting by identifying the problem you want to find out more about. It can be started off by a topic you are interested in. The research question has to be well put together and be specific on what you will be informing others on. Once you have a research question you can create a hypothesis with the findings you believe you can find.
Observations: This section includes collecting data and information on the problem from your research question. As we find the information we can identify any patterns or repeated behaviors that can provide information on the existing problem.
Develop a research design: Planning how the research will be designed and which will be used. The method can be chosen by looking at the research question and see under what category it falls under.
Gather data: Put all the information that was acquired and put together. Organize and make sense of the data obtained from he study.
Interpret and share:
Recognize who the audience will be and revise your findings.

Module 14 - Erika Smith

007804141 — 2023-05-04 02:41:35 UTC

Some things that I would include in my research inquiry cycle after all in learned in the past lectures are:

· Identify The Problem: Investigate something you are interested in and pose a question based on experiences, observations, or to test a theory

· Review Existing Literature: Research and examine what other researchers have explore to see what’s is yet to be discovered.

· Plan Research Design Decide on what method to use based on your research question.

· Gather & Analyze Data Organize and analyze the collected data from your research study to accurately evaluate results.

· Interpret & Share Develop generalizations based on the findings of the research study. Present & Submit findings.

2023-05-04 02:58:57 UTC

This is a difficult question because I don't think I would be able to get As in courses with terrible or boring professors because it's not about the content but rather how a professor explains the content. I am a pretty straight-A student as it is right now and I would say that the majority of my professors were great and interesting. I have noticed that I struggle more in classes when I have terrible and boring professors and I usually get As when I have great and interesting professors which is why this question is again impossible for me to answer.

I would much rather have interesting professors then just receiving an A. Although getting an A in a class is a great feeling i've noticed when I actually come out knowing the material because the professor made class interesting I don't necessarily stress over my grade and am okay with at least a C. I think there is also less stress because I feel good knowing that I am understanding the material and can apply it towards my career.

I honestly always try to do my best in all my classes and haven't gotten anything below a c thankfully. I do believe for this class I might end with a B or a C, just because I'm not really good at creating my own research design. This class is a bit overwhelming I will say but it also can be just because I'm a big procrastinator and I leave everything to the last minute. I would truthfully rather have an interesting professor and get all C’s. This is because I really like to learn new things and I really want what I learned in college to be useful in my future career.

Module 14 Research Inquiry Cycle

007960752 — 2023-05-04 05:37:16 UTC

Identify the problem: What is the problem you want to address? Come up with a research question that can be tested and analyzed.

Review existing literature: Research your topic and find out what is known in the field thus far. What is missing or what can you add to the topic?

Plan research design: Think about what type of data collection method will be best based on your research question. Who will be your participants and who will be your target audience? Will you use a quantitative or qualitative approach?

Gather and analyze data: Once you have decided on the method of data collection. Collect your data and interpret the results. If quantitative they will be numerical results, if qualitative lots of details will need to be interpreted.

Interpret and share: Who was your target audience? Share the results of your research study. What are some limitations of your study?

Research Inquiry Process

008024283 — 2023-05-04 15:55:50 UTC

Research Inquiry Process :

Question - Develop research question based on an idea or problem (What problem are you trying to solve? )

Research Design - Look through research literature to analyze what is already known about your idea/ problem & what is still missing (Has anyone previously researched your idea? Did it leave you with more questions? )

Collecting Data - Construct a procedure to investigate a testable question about the idea/problem (What is staying the same? Changing? What methods of data collecting are you using?)

Analyzing Data - Use quantitative and/or qualitative approaches to obtain data

Interpret and Share Results - Report conclusions and/or limitations that may lead to the identification of subsequent research problems

Cristina Serrato: Module 13 Summary

2023-05-04 19:15:15 UTC

This is a very interesting question to think about because both sides have there pros and cons. It was difficult for me to answer because having expectations from my parents, I usually stress to not have a C in a class but truthfully, I think I would rather get C's and have great and interesting professors. This would actually mean that I enjoy what I am learning in this course because the professors themselves are pleasant to be around. This would ensure that I am interested in what I am learning and I can use what I learn in the real world. Versus having professors that seem uninterested themselves, it can change my attitude about the course.

tiffanee909 — 2023-05-04 20:10:42 UTC

In module 13, there were two concepts that stood out to me and the first one was the acronym "BRUSO" which stood for brief, relevant, unambigous, specific, and objective. This acronym is a great reference to look back at when looking for research. It helps to narrow down ideas by dishing out the poor ones and using the effective ones. The other concept that I found that would be very helpful were the dos and don'ts of survey questions. This information helps to find the simplicity in research while still making sure it is specific.

Adrian Avina

2023-05-04 20:39:05 UTC

I don't like to see lower than a B when it comes to my grades, it's just a standard I have always set myself to when it came to schooling. A C is not bad as the lower grades, though it just doesn't feel great to see a C even when you've put in a lot of effort into a class. On the other hand, having interesting professors is also important to me because what good is learning is if it feels like a chore to be in a class. I think it just depends on the person you ask but I would have to go with the interesting professors and get over having a C.

Adrian Avina

2023-05-04 20:49:00 UTC

What I would do now that I know more about the research inquiry cycle is go back and be a bit more in depth.
First, we identify the problem. From there we can either form a hypothesis, we can ask a question, or we can suggest a theory.
Next, we conduct research. we have to go out and gather what is already known about the topic. Once we have a good portion of our information, we then research further to find what is unknown about our topic/question.
Then, we plan a research process. To answer our question that we posed earlier, we must look at our data using the qualitive and quantitative method. These are two different approaches that both have their strengths and weaknesses, depending on what we want to find out.
Then, we can start to analyze our data. we start by looking over the data we have so far gathered. then we ask ourselves, are we able to put it together so as to answer our question? and I f we can then we can move on to the next step.
Finally, we review or work and finally submit. Before we submit our work, we should conduct any revisions with the audience in mind and finally, submit.

Something I would change about my old inquiry circle is that I would add a little bit more detail to it because it was a little too vague for my liking.
Identify

identify a clear research question that guides the investigation.
Once a research question has been established, the next step is to develop a hypothesis.

Review existing lecture

This is a summary of what has been previously found. What is missing and still needs to be studied? What is something that I still unknown and hasn't been talked about? This can also tie your entire study together by stating the purpose of your study and what others have found regarding your study.

Research plan design

Considering what type of methodology would best fit your research design
- Survey, interviews, Open-ended or closed-ended questions, etc.

Collecting data

In this stage, it is crucial to articulate the approach that will be utilized to carry out the data research, which involves providing a detailed account of the study participants while adhering to ethical guidelines to mitigate bias and achieve precise data.

Interpret results

In writing the conclusion, it is necessary to consider the limitations of the study such as sample size, selection bias, and other potential confounding factors that could influence the results. By taking into account these factors, the conclusions drawn will be more accurate, objective, and valuable in providing insights into the research question.

Research Inquiry Process

1. Identifying the Problem: What is something you observed personally, and write out what you already know about the problem in detail. Then identify the problem by revealing information you are unaware of to apply additional research. Then produce a possible solution to the problem

2. Review Existing Literature: Research similar observations to see information that is not included. Analyze the literature to evaluate the article for a more profound knowledge of the topic. Fill in the gaps of research that have not been identified to later apply to the thesis

3. Plan research design: Use the scientific method. Which consists of
1. The first step in the scientific method is asking a question you want to answer.
2. Perform research. With your question formulated, conduct preliminary background research to prepare yourself for the experiment.
3. Establish your hypothesis
4. Test your hypothesis by conducting an experiment
5. Make an observation
6. Analyze the results and draw a conclusion
7. Present the findings

4. Gather and analyze: Organize and collect all your information from all resources used and analyze in an objective, unbiased viewpoint to reach the conclusion

5. Interpret and Share: Revise and share the discovery with the appropriate audience

This question is quite difficult to answer, I don't really like seeing my grade go below a B but I know that having a C is not that bad as well. The reason why I don't like seeing my grade like this is because I have expectations I tend to put myself in. Honestly, I think I rather have a C and have a great and interesting professor because that means I am actually enjoying the class and enjoy learning about the course. Rather than having a bad professor who is not interested in their students.

Since being a returning student and getting back into the groove of being in school again I will say that I appreciate interesting professors. I would like to have all A's and B's but if I get a C that's fine because I know I always do my best. I feel like the type of professor you have plays a part in that because of how the class instruction goes and how much information I am able to retain and use in the future. I would rather understand the information and retain it, even if my is terrible. as long as I don't fail either way it doesn't matter to me.

Module 14 Inquiry Cycle Shyanne Thomas

2023-05-05 01:12:53 UTC

1. Identify a problem-Think of something from your experiences or interest and develop a question that you can answer with research. develop hypothesis
2.Review Existing Literature- after developing your question look at what research has already been done or what is missing. using valid sources is key.
3.Plan Research Design-depending on your question and what your are trying to find you will use either qualitative or quantitative methods, you will also refine or reject your hypothesis.
4. Gather & Analyze Data- Collect, analyze and organize the data. this data will be from either your qualitative or quantitative research method. each method is analyzed differently.
5. Interpret & share- this is the last step where you will revise and submit your findings to an audience. this is important because your findings can make a difference and also be used for future research.

It is hard question. I always do my best in courses, yet sometimes it makes it difficult I do get overwhelmed with so much information, but it is good to get as much information on the topic. I like having A's especially in my major courses, but I know that it will not always turn out that way. If I can pass with a C, I will be happy to at least the course. I like professors who are interesting in their course but also understanding.

I had a hard time making my decision for this question. I can’t make up my mind and this is why. I have been working so hard in having a great GPA. Having a terrible Professor would definitely cause a lot of anxiety on me. However, it would be a sense of relief once the class is over knowing I got a good grade. The pros of having an excellent Professor are beyond great. I’m going to college for a reason to learn. I have discovered when I am struggling with a class due to it being an overload of work and not understanding the concepts I tend to shut my brain out and not really grasp the concepts being taught. When I have an easy going class I enjoy my classes and easily grasp concepts. Having to not stress over the amount of work in class truly makes a difference for me. This is also a pro for my health. I have developed anxiety over school the last year. When I have classes that overwhelm me my anxiety sky rockets and it’s a horrible feeling. Now that I’m explaining my self I would say I would prefer having an excellent Professor as opposed to a terrible one. The grade is not worth it to me I wish I could get an A however, a C is still passing and my mental health is very important as well.

Surveys involve self-reports and there are four main ways to conduct surveys. It can be through in-person interviews, telephone, mail , and online surveys. I learned about the do's and don'ts of survey questions and how to be simplistic when conducting a survey. As for my check-in answer, I would rather have all A's. I would question why these so called great professors gave me a C but yet I find them interesting. I think getting A's from terrible and boring professors is interesting because I can assume that I worked hard for that A? Ideally I would want to have great and interesting professors but get all A's.

After viewing my old research injury process, this is my new understanding.

Begin with a research question. Then Propose a hypothesis. Based off of your question.
Then go in to the literature review. Start to investigate existing research on the topic of your interest and similar to your research question and hypothesis.
Define whether your research will be based off of qualitative or quantitative data. And things you know and don’t know about the question
Begin to collect and analyze data related to the topic, organize your data and insure it is relatable to the research question.
This section is methods what you learned and how it is relatable to existing research. Here you will describe the results and the type of sampling that was used. As well as the study variables and discuss the limitations in the research.
Conclusion, here you will describe your findings and critique them. Your opinion and make references to literature review.

-Literature reviews are not that simple, they take a lot of reading to have one qualify to use.
-There are a lot of ways to analyze data and the type of analysis depends on the type of method of research you used.
I assumed this course was going to focus on numbers, and in actuality it is all about reading and interpretations of methods.

Unfortunately, there is also professors that are hardly involved and yet have high expectations for success.

Module 5 lecture summary - Joselynn Vazquez

2023-05-06 21:47:27 UTC

In this week's lecture, the focus was on the sampling aspect of our research question for my project. The lecture slides helped with creating a idea of what in specific I would entail my research question on. It helped with the sampling as it is a crucial component of research as it provides a population to study and gather information from. Additionally, I also remembered an important part of the lecture slide. I found that within research there are two types of probability. The difference between the two types of probability in research - probability and non-probability. Probability sampling caters to a specific group or population, while non-probability sampling is more suited for a population in a specific location where the study was conducted.

Module 6 lecture summary- Joselynn Vazquez

In this week's lecture, I learned the insights into the nuances between concepts, constructs, and operational. These three components are interdependent, with operational definitions serving as a means of clarifying and guiding the measurement process in research. The lecture emphasized the importance of measurement in research and how a clear operational definition is crucial for ensuring accurate and meaningful results.

Qualitative methods emphasize observations about natural behavior, attitudes, and artifacts that capture life as it is experienced by the participants.
Qualitative research examines words and other non-numeric media
Qualitative research offers unique benefits, while facing challenges to generalizability and replicability
Analysis in qualitative research is holistic and contextual

Module 7 Lecture Summary- Joselynn Vazquez

2023-05-06 23:26:35 UTC

After looking over the lecture slides, I gained a better understanding of the ideas of reliability and validity in research. Both of these concepts are essential in the research process, but they measure data in distinct ways. Data is reliable if it is consistent and dependable, whereas data is valid if it is accurate and represents the phenomenon being studied. As a result, research is considered reliable when the data gathered is consistent and dependable, whereas research is deemed to have greater validity when the data is accurate and representative.

This class has provided me with much information I did not know about. Here is my revised Research Inquiry Cycle.

Identify the Problem: Any research should start with a research question. Then follow your hypothesis/theory.
Review Existing Literature: This is where one finds empirical articles to help support your research topic. An empirical article needs to be a previous study similar to yours. They must have methods they used and results.
Plan Research Design: Forming the hypothesis. Define any Qualitative or quantitative methods that are being used.
Gather and Analyze Data: Begin to collect and analyze all the data gathered for your research topic. One has to ensure that the data collected relates to your research topic.
Interpret and Share: The last part of the cycle focuses on explaining the information found. This section also shares the results and types of sampling conducted in the research.

Jesus Leon Module 14

2023-05-07 01:44:43 UTC

I kept my Research Inquiry Process chart the same in design I just added some extra steps in areas that I found helpful for me.

Identify the Problem: Make observations from one’s own experiences or thoughts. Look at previous studies done and check for gaps. Sometimes you can also identify problems from the gaps. In study limitations you can also find problems to which you can focus to fix.

Review Literature: Find out the research literature. What is known about this research or what is missing. Again here you would have to see if there is bias, gaps or limitations. In the reaearch literature you should also look into what are the expectations of the study.

Plan Research Design: Structure a hypothesis and design a procedure or method to answer research questions. For method section you should see what type of method they used either quantitive or qualitative. You should also look into your sample size.

Gather and Analyze data: Collect, organize and analyze data.

Interpret and Share: Share your results or findings and develop an audience to present data. In this you want to know exactly who is going to be your audience.

I would rather have great professor and interesting but all Cs. I say this because the letter is just a letter and it does not really determine your knowledge of what you know. That being said a good professor will make you understand the lecture. In the other hand with a bad professor but get an A I feel that you would be more focused on getting the A than actually focusing on the lecture.

Research Inquiry Cycle-Ana M.

2023-05-07 02:21:27 UTC

Identify Problem-Develop a problem or question based on an issue of interest. Come up with a proper research question/hypothesis to explain a phenomenon or make a prediction to generate an experiment.

Review Existing Literature-Look for existing research to find any gaps or change the current question. Research any articles or previous experiments to help prepare a literature review to identify the proper method whether its qualitative or quantitative.

Plan Research Design-Create a methodology, plan the number of participants and their generalization, hypothesize/predict the outcome, and construct the experiment. Observe the participants to review the outcome soon.

Gather & Analyze Data-Collect the data that was achieved in the experiment and interpret the reason. Organize the information to come to a conclusion and discussion on the issue of interest. Accommodate new information and form new observations or future predictions for new research.

Interpret & Share-Once the data is interpreted, publishes the new findings and outcomes for new researchers/professionals in the field of interest. Present the new information in conferences or public speaking in person/online to reach future research.

Module 8 lecture summary- Joselynn Vazquez

2023-05-07 02:53:17 UTC

In module 8, I learned about the dissimilarities between quantitative and qualitative research. My initial perception of qualitative research was that it entailed collecting information from participants via interviews, observations, and focus groups. However, I discovered that the contrast between the two approaches is more complex. Quantitative research, in opposition to qualitative research, acquires objective data through surveys and observations. This data is analyzed statistically, thereby offering a more objective and impartial methodology to research.

Research Inquiry Process

Identify Problem

-The observation is forming theory questions that will lead to it being tested

Review Existing Literature

-What do you know and what is needed to be specific on the research question

-Reviewing helps the researcher figure out what else needs to be explored

Plan Research Design

-Use Quantitative/Qualitative methods to make hypothesis clearer

Gather & Analyze Data

-Organize collected data then reframe it to answer RQ sensibly

-Should help interpret all data collected accurately

Interpret & Share

-Interpret data and share with audience what data was collected

-Keep all documented data with findings safe for future researchers

Joanna Contreras Research Inquiry Cycle

2023-05-07 03:39:37 UTC

1.Discovering the Research Question: The researcher discovers a problem and begins to hypothesize possible reasonings behind the issue, or other connections and comparisons one can draw from previous or current research.

2.Explore Available Knowledge: The researcher begins to look through any valid research which could help assist the researcher understand past knowledge on the issue. In order to establish a more reliable research the researcher uses available information to establish the current stance on what is believed about the question that is currently being researched.

3.Research Methods Begin: The researcher now has the ability to decide whether they can use qualitative or quantitative methods to undergo research. This can range from surveys, observations, or theoretical frameworks and undergone in order to find the best method to complete the study.

4.Data Collection: The researcher collects data from the participants which they curated through different sampling methods in order to assure their research is valid and can be used in future research of the topic being studied. Each piece of data is being used to connect to the original hypothesis and calculate whether the hypothesis is correct or not.

5.Results of the Research Question: The researcher discovers the answer and flaws within their research and uses it to answer their original research question. This answer could also begin the start of a new research which could be done by the original researcher themselves or another which could undergo the research inquiry process as well to begin a new cycle of research.

Research Inquiry Cycle #2

007221221 — 2023-05-07 03:43:21 UTC

Process:
1st, Identify a problem
Next, it's time to investigate. It is important to read up on previous research/literature done on the problem you are looking to study.
Next, we need to plan the appropriate research design. Pin down exactly what you are looking to study and find the best method of research.
Next, it is time to gather your data (how you gather your data should be based on your research design). Then we will analyze our data.
Last we will interpret our data and share our results/findings.

In a perfect world I would like to have both a fun professor and all As, but Id also like to not get a C. I tend to do well in classes with professors who have more interactive and interesting types of teaching, but recieving a C would make me stress out as well because certain majors require certain GPAs. Although I do learn more when a professor is more interactive than boring and I dont like the concept of just memorizing to learn. Yet, I do think getting a C would make me upset. So, ultimately I feel if you need a high GPA for select majors I would choose boring, but in order to obtain knowledge I would say fun and interesting with C grades.

Gabriela Diego Research inquiry cycle

2023-05-07 04:36:41 UTC

The updates I would put on my research inquiry cycle are;

Identify the Problem: A researcher has curiosity of something or an interest and a need to answer a specific question. In this phase a researcher begins to predict or theorize what might happen based on prior knowledge.
Review existing literature: A researcher may look to past knowledge or what was already established on the topic, what is missing from the research and any expectations on the topic to refine the research question.
Plan research design: In this step we will use quantitative or qualitative methods to answer the research question. Researchers must use which kind of data they will gather, the best way to document and organize the data, and obtain as much information when using the desired design of choice.
Gather and Analyze data: When researchers analyze data, they are looking for patterns in the data. Upon looking for the patterns, they are in the process of interpreting and explaining the patterns that were discovered in the data and explain any differences as well.
Interpret and share: This is where you connect prior knowledge of the topic and new knowledge and share your findings to the connected audience. This is not seen as the final step but can lead to more questions and research, so the cycle can begin again.

Monsserrath Virgen: Module 14 Research Inquiry Cycle

2023-05-07 05:02:37 UTC

The research inquiry cycle includes the following:

Identifying the Problem: A practical problem through informal observation. Ex: Notice that arts and crafts table only has girls, boy states that arts and crafts are just for girls.
Reviewing Existing Literature: Explore research literature that discusses that topic of interest. Ex: Question: Do gender stereotypes affect the activities that children partake in?
Plan Research Design: Investigate using a designed procedure in order to test the question.
Gather & Analyze Data: Using the data from the previous step use quantitative or qualitative approaches in order to analyze.
Interpret & Share: Given the results of the research go back to reviewing the literature and new observations to draw conclusions as well as sharing the information that was found.

Valeria Molina's Module 14 Activity

2023-05-07 05:50:15 UTC

1) Identify a problem is generated by using own personal experiences a person has had, any observations made in a certain setting, and any questions that come to mind. The problem should help create a research question and if possible create a hypothesis too.
2)Reviewing existing literature helps find past information that could help with the research being studied. Existing literature may either add to your study or help figure out what needs to yet be discovered.
3)Planning the research design is when you formulate the hypothesis fully and think about what type of research methods are going to be used to measure the study. It will help find out whether it will be a qualitative or quantitative method.
4)Gathering and analyzing data is when the actual study is done, you collect the data, organize your findings, and analyze what you have found in relation to the hypothesis. The results will be determined based on the method you choose whether that be qualitative or quantitative.
5)Interpreting and sharing my data is displaying my finding to my target audience and identifying any limitations that were found when doing the study.

Module 14 Padlet Activity- Kristin Lange

008047787 — 2023-05-07 06:46:33 UTC

In my revised research inquiry cycle, I would design the cycle as follows:
1. Identify Problem: In this section, the researcher must identify what is the topic of study. In other words, what are we trying to figure out or convey? This must be a topic that is well-defined to come up with a specific area of study. What types of questions are needed to be asked in order to understand what the nature of the research must be? What are we looking for or trying to figure out?
2. Review Existing Literature: This section analyzes data from previous research studies. This puts into context what we already know about the existing data from what we are trying to study. This also helps us to formulate our hypothesis or research questions more in-depth.
3. Plan and Research Design: Based on the information from the literature review, that will help the researcher figure out the type of research that needs to be conducted. Will the research method be quantitative: where the researcher will have to conduct interviews, group studies, or observations and interpret the data, or will the researcher want to conduct quantitative research where the research is conducted by numbers?
4. Gather and Analyze Data: Based on the nature of the research design, the researcher then would choose the way they administer data collection. Would they use quantitative data in which they utilize descriptive research, survey research, correlational research, quasi-experimental research, or experimental research? If the research conducts qualitative designs, like how a population may feel, they will also have to differentiate content, narrative, discourse, thematic, grounded theory, or IPA approaches in how they collect and analyze their data. Based on the nature of the data, it could become quite time-consuming trying to analyze and interpret the data in a qualitative approach.
5. Interpret and Share: While qualitative data is rather easier to interpret and share because it deals with numbers, qualitative data may be more time-consuming and difficult to generalize based on the method of research that was used to gather the data.

Isabel Chavez Module 14

006929839 — 2023-05-07 18:57:55 UTC

Identify the problem: Think about the problem and analyze if this is what you're interested in. Develop a research question and a clear hypothesis.
Review existing literature : You have to conduct a literature review and this is where you conduct what you already know about the research.
Plan research design: This is where you will plan out the way you will propose your study.
Gather and Analyze: Collect the data and analyze what you collected in your study.
Interpret and Share: You report your conclusion and the limitations you have encountered with.Share your findings.

Brenda Velador-Module 14

2023-05-07 22:02:49 UTC

I reviewed the first research inquiry that I did and after taking this class this is the new revised process that I would do.

Identify the problem that needs to be resolved.
I would do literature review and go over what studies have come up with previously and what more information I could get.
After I will come up with a plan for research design, and what sample method I would be using.
Then I would organize the collected data and go over the results that were found through the research
And after I would share the results from the study to the targeted audience

I would rather get great and interesting professors and get all C's then getting A's but having boring professors. If I'm getting C's, I'm going to sit with my professor and see how I can improve my grade. Since they are so great, I know they would want to see my thrive and do better in the future. If I have terrible professors, most likely they are giving me an A but they aren't giving me their sincere and professional input in the work I do in their class.

Week 14 Kylie Thomas

Research begins by identifying a problem or idea and developing a research question. The research design involves examining existing literature to determine what is known about the topic and what gaps in knowledge exist. This review of literature helps refine the research question and determines the best approach for collecting data.

Data collection involves creating a detailed plan that outlines the methodology, including what is being observed, how it is being measured, and what methods of data collection will be used. This process includes identifying variables that will remain constant and those that will change. Depending on the research question, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods may be used to collect and analyze data.

The next step is to analyze the data collected to answer the research question. The results are then interpreted and shared with others. The conclusions drawn from the research should be reported accurately and include any limitations of the study. This step helps to identify areas that require further research and to generate new research questions.

the research inquiry process involves identifying a problem, reviewing existing literature, creating a detailed data collection plan, analyzing the data, and sharing results. Through this process, researchers can improve understanding of a problem or idea, identify gaps in knowledge, and generate new research questions to help further our understanding of the world around us.

Karen Olmos- Module 13 Summary

2023-05-09 02:58:45 UTC

I think I would rather have interesting professor and get C's. I always try to get A's and B's but if I do happen to get C's, I never feel bad as I know that I tried my best. I would rather have interesting professors because then I would listen more and pay more attention to the material being presented. It's good to be able to remember the material that was taught in class than have a good grade without being able to remember anything in class that way we are able to use the material learned in your career.

Module 13

sashagomez215 — 2023-05-09 03:49:06 UTC

This is a tough question. I think I would rather have a great and interesting professor and get all C's. The reason being is because it is important to always have the class going and have fun with the lectures that is being taught to us. Although I would be receiving a "C" I still get the material that is being taught. As long as, I know that I did my best and know the material more.

Module 14

sashagomez215 — 2023-05-09 04:17:31 UTC

Identify Problems:
Start off with an idea or problem and develop a research question.
Reviewing Existing Literature:
Discuss about what research has been found.
- What is known?
- What is missing?
Plan Research Design:
Design a procedure to investigate a testable question about the idea.
- Refine/Reflect hypothesis
Gather and Analyze:
To organize information that has been gathered. Which can be used in quantitative or qualitative.
Interpret and Share:
Recognize who your audience is and find their findings. Which develops generalizations.

Identify Problem: Its good to have a question mind that you want to further investigate
Review Existing Literature: Read everything up until certain keywords to see if the article is useful to us.
Plan Research Design: Qualitative and quantitative methods are determined, They are structured and consistent in the way its set up. But not all methods will work for each other.
Gather & Analyze Data: Its important that the research we are doing is valid and reliable.
Interpret & Share: Its also important to present our results and findings in a clear and concise manner.

Karen Olmos- Research inquiry circle

2023-05-10 05:56:54 UTC

I am adding things to the research inquiry cycle based on what I have learned throughout the semester.
Identify a research question: Find what problem you want to talk about. A topic you are interested in. Find a clear and specific research question about that topic and form your hypothesis.
Review existing literature: Conduct research based off your topic of interest and look for information that is known and not known.
Plan research design: Choose which methodology works for your question such as survey, interviews, etc.
Gather Data: Organize the information gathered while following the ethical guidelines of research.
Analyze Data: Check to see if the data found answers your topic question.
Interpret and Share: Share data with others who also show the same level of interest, recognize your audience.

006958972 — 2023-05-10 21:25:27 UTC

A research should begin with a question or proposal. Second, see if there is anything we might already know about the topic or may be missing. Thirdly, is the research based on qualitative or quantitative data. Four, Collect data and analyze it as well as organize it. Fifth, describe the results and the sample it. Lastly, the conclusion. In the conclusion you share what you found about your research and describe it.

This question is a bit hard for me to answer because I believe having a good professor will help you gain better knowledge of the class subject and learn better. However, having a bad professor but a good grade will be passing the class still regardless of the professors teaching method. I have personally experienced both and stressing about a letter grade is something that I hate and gives me anxiety just because I am not used to failing. I always try my best in my courses since I was young so failing for me is something I would not want.

Alyssa Ortiz Module 15

2023-05-10 22:37:41 UTC

I am most proud of myself for completing the semester. In March of the semester I was laid off from my job, and dealt with it pretty harshly as I barely started working again last week! It definitely took a toll on my mental health and I was experiencing financial insecurities. Among with other inconsistencies I was experiencing, I continued to engage in my school work and submit my assignments even if they were submitted late. I didn’t let my depression stop me no matter how many times I wanted to let it, I kept going and cried when I needed too. So am I most proud of myself.

Module 15 Fabiola Vasquez

2023-05-10 22:57:11 UTC

When I first signed up for this class, I was very nervous. I understand that the class had to do with research methods and to be honest doing research scares me. However, after this class the thing I am most proud of is understand more about the different types of research methods. I understood how to apply the inquiry cycle method to any research question I may have. I can apply what I have learned here to my other courses. I am just proud of myself for taking this class one week at a time. I managed my time well this semester and was able to complete all my assignments. I also feel that I gained more knowledge on what research is and how to apply it to child development.

Rachel Favares Module 15

2023-05-11 01:31:55 UTC

I am most proud of myself for getting through this class and semester without procrastinating on any of my work. I started the semester being about 14 weeks pregnant and I am now 29 weeks pregnant and trying to find the motivation to do my school work while being pregnant was extremely tough but I did it. I even handed in all my final assignments at least a week before the due dates which I am also proud of. For this class in particular, I am proud of myself for not giving up. When I first read the syllabus, I was terrified because it seemed complicated and the information in the first few modules flew over my head but I did not give up and I kept reading and listening to the lectures, trying to put together the content and now I can say that I know a lot more about applied research and applying it to child development than I did before this class.

Gabriela Diego Module 15

2023-05-11 03:02:23 UTC

What I am most proud of is finishing my internship at the csusb ITLS and managing five courses this semester. At the beginning of the semester, everything was fine and going smooth, now that it is the end I am really starting to feel the fatigue coming in I can't wait to get some good sleep! I am proud of myself for pushing through and finishing all of my assignments on time and I try to understand and absorb all of the work I have learned.

Module 15 - Erika Smith

007804141 — 2023-05-11 03:30:50 UTC

What I am proud of is for completing the semester. It has been a very difficult semester for me; therefore, I am proud that I am almost done. I have two children and I am proud that they are about to finish the school year with good grades as well. It was not easy to be a full-time mom, full-time student, work and besides doing my internship this semester. I probably cried twice this semester when I had to do homework a whole Saturday and all I wanted to do was to spend time with my children.

Feeling proud

007221221 — 2023-05-11 03:41:22 UTC

Like a majority of my classmates, I am proud of myself for making it to the end. There was something about this semester that I found it so much more challenging to stay motivated and focus on my school work. I did start a new job in February and learning how to balance school and work was tough for me. There was a week or two during the semester where I thought about quitting almost daily. But I am happy to say that I am here near the finish line and it feels so good :)

Isabel Chavez Module 15

006929839 — 2023-05-11 04:47:02 UTC

I am most proud of continuing school. The reason being is because I feel like school is only getting harder. The more days go by I feel like I just get more responsibilities upon myself. I am very happy to continue into school and be able to manage. I work two jobs, attend school and sometimes it was very challenging. Sometimes I felt like I had no days off and I would just function.

2023-05-11 04:51:44 UTC

I am most proud that I was able to gain knowledge in this course and to complete the class with new knowledge to take with my new courses. Dealing with everyday things I always learn to take one thing at a time. Today I found out my car has many issues to be fixed but have to remember to do the prioritize the most important and to always remember that we have to do take care of ourselves.

jessicaledezma — 2023-05-11 06:20:49 UTC

Something that I'm most proud of this semester, that I continue to work on is my time management skills. During the semester, I really noticed that once I stopped procrastinating and doing things last minute, I was able to finish my homework much faster while having some days free of not doing work. I typically try to knock out homework during the first 3 days of the week and have the weekends off. I was actually able to do this throughout the whole semester and I was very proud of myself. It just goes to show that if you stop procrastinating, you can actually get your work done much faster and still have time to hang out with your loved ones.

Jenae Arias

2023-05-11 17:15:56 UTC

What I am most proud of is that I was able to push through this semester through all the hardships I went through. Losing my grandfather and then having a miscarriage a month later really hit me hard and I really wanted to just stop attending all classes and just give up completely. Although my grades could have been a lot better and my work could have been better, I am happy to say I got through it. I am extremely proud that I was able to to keep going for myself. Hopefully this upcoming Fall semester will be a breeze and I can graduate soon with my B.A.

Yessenia Rubio Module 15

2023-05-11 17:33:42 UTC

What I am proud of this semester is being able to complete it. Working full time and attending classes can be challenging. There were some challenges during the semester where I had to turn in some assignments later than I would have liked but they were completed. I am just glad this semester is coming to an end. Thank you for the lessons!

Emily Belcher - Module 15

2023-05-11 20:29:13 UTC

This semester, I am most proud of myself for being better about staying on top of my work. While I still procrastinated I definitely saw an improvement and some of the changes I was making paid off. Secondly, I am also proud of myself for getting all the classes I need to be able to graduate in Fall of 2023. I will have gotten my bachelors degree with only 3 regular semesters and one summer semester after transferring. I am very excited and extremely ready to be done with school.

I am most proud of myself for getting through this class and learning how to balance my schoolwork because this semester was a lot for me. I would say that it was going smoothly at the beginning of the semester, but now that it is towards the end of the semester I am feeling overwhelmed. I did find this course to be hard but I am proud that I tried and turned in assignments in time and that I made it to the end of the semester. Another thing of being proud of is getting this far and I am close to finishing school.

Cynthia Tarazon

2023-05-11 21:41:29 UTC

I am most proud of being able to get to the end of the semester! For some reason this semester felt a bit more challenging. Balancing full time school and work was not easy. At times it felt so difficult and I did not know how I was going to do it but it feels so great knowing I was able to get it done. Just supper happy to be near the end.

What I am most proud of myself for is making it through the semester! Especially through challenging and stressful days, I am glad I pushed myself to keep going. Balancing school, work, and life in general is not easy but even with everything going on I am proud to have set more time aside for myself this semester. Throughout this semester my time management was not the best but something I will continue to work on, however extremely proud of all my hard work and hopefully to be graduating soon.

I'm proud of myself because I was able to manage being a full time student and work as a teacher throughout the week and have another part time job during the weekends. it has been very draining and very hard for me to push through the tiredness to complete alloy assignments, projects, papers, study and do the best I can on my exams. my grades are amazing so far and they're a lot better than I expected. I felt like this semester would never end but time has gone by very fast that I've completed this semester and did great without submitting any late assignments or missing any assignments.

2023-05-12 00:36:22 UTC

This has been a very stressful semester. I am proud of reaching the end of the semester without falling apart. I am also proud of completing all my assignments on time. I am a full-time mom and full-time student so making time to balance both was a bit much at times. However, I am glad to finish the semester and looking forward to relaxing over the summer. I am most proud of making time to be with my daughter no matter how much work I had to get through. Congratulations to all my classmates that are graduating. You did it!

I am most proud of myself for is always trying my hardest in school and being able to balance my life. Although this semester has probably been one of the toughest ones in all 4 years I have been at CSUSB I have been able to always try and keep up. I am also proud of how far Ive come in college. When I entered school I honestly never really stopped to think "am I going to make it?" but seeing how far Ive come and how proud it makes my mom, it encourages me to keep going. I work full time, go to school, have my assignments, my friends and family, and personal life. It has been hard to balance it all but I always try a way.

What I am most proud of is getting though the semester with decent grades. This semester I was struggling a lot with mental health and at one point I just wanted to throw in the towel on trying to complete the semester but I pushed though and now I am doing much better. Happy I did not let a bump in the road stop me. My next journey is on physical health and well-being since I've been so focused on mental. I always want to push myself though these last 2 semester and into my career goals!

I am proud of myself in staying in this class because it has been a rough semester. It has been become a challenge, but I have made through and just waiting on summer vacation. I also learned new things through my courses and will help me in the future in my career. College is not easy but pushing myself shows that I can do it. I am also proud that I am in the process in doing something that I want.

I am proud of myself for making through this term with good grades even though I was struggling in my personal life. I did not let my set back determine my drive for school !

Karen Olmos - Module 15

2023-05-12 04:38:14 UTC

I am most proud of myself for getting through the semester in general. I'm not sure why but this semester seemed to be hard and difficult in all my classes. I've had personal family issues that made it hard for me to fully concentrate in my school work. I have also started a new job in a school as a one on one with a special education student. I don't have any experience with special education so I had to learn a lot and as a result most of my days ended in me being exhausted. I love my new job but I had to find balance for school work again. I had a very hard time staying motivated and focused this semester but I am proud that I somewhat got through it.

Cristina Serrato: Module 15 Summary

2023-05-12 05:54:24 UTC

I am proud of myself for getting through this semester. I found this semester to be a bit more difficult than the rest of them but luckily I am almost done with it. I am also proud of myself for maintaining my full time job and staying full time in school. I feel that I do go through a lot of stress but I know that all of my hard work will pay off.

2023-05-13 00:24:12 UTC

I am so proud of myself this semester. This is my second to last semester before I receive my Bachelors degree in Child Development. It was one of the hardest semesters I have ever completed. I’m thankful I only signed up for three classes because four would of be extremely overwhelming. Throughout the first couple modules I was so stressed out. It was hard for me to grasp the concepts being taught I wanted to give up. However, I am so proud of myself for not giving up! I’ve worked super hard this semester and am proud to say my grades looks pretty good. It was all worth it. I’m looking forward to graduating this summer! I know all my hard work these last couple years will all be very much well worth it. Thank you for everything this semester Professor.

Now that the semester is coming to an end, I am most proud of the work I've put in this semester. I am proud of all the long hours and hard work I put in for each of my six classes. I am proud of getting great grades on my exams, quizzes, and homework assignments. All in all, I am proud of the student I’ve become during this semester, as it is now ending, I'm proud of not procrastinating, completing my work on time, and finishing what was needed for each class. In addition, I am proud of the work I've done in this course. The course name is quite intimidating, and I was nervous at the start of the semester. As time has gone by, I can say that I’ve come to understand the material, which has led me to do my assignments and quizzes. Now that the course is coming to an end, I can say that I am proud of all the long hours and hard work I’ve put into this class, as I strongly believe that my hard work will result in an amazing grade.

006409542 — 2023-05-13 00:31:40 UTC

I am very proud of myself this semester because I took on 5 classes and worked full time. I did this because I want to graduate soon. I didn't realize how much of a workload and stress I put myself through. But I managed to do well in all my classes. My time management has been the best it ever has. But never again will I take 5 classes again. I had many break downs and stayed up late just to do it all over again the following day. But I learned a lot this semester from each and every class. Was definitely a semester I won't forget.

Cristina Garcia-Mod 15

2023-05-13 02:46:27 UTC

What I am most proud of is graduating this semester while I went to school full time, worked full time, was a full time mom and wife. I underestimated my capabilities when I enrolled in school and I doubted myself so many times, but I never stopped pushing myself to the finish line. I've very proud of what I accomplished and I hope that my daughter can see that us women carry a lot on our shoulders but we are capable of it all if we put our heart and mind to it!

Mishon Johnson- Module 15 Proud of Myself!

007820768 — 2023-05-13 18:40:35 UTC

As I reflect on my accomplishments, I am most proud of being selected as a Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Scholar for the 2023-24 academic year. This recognition is a testament to my hard work and dedication to academic excellence. I feel honored to be one of the 77 highly qualified California State University students who were chosen from 156 applications.

In addition, I am also proud of how I have applied what I have learned in this Applied Research and Methods course in my research projects. For example, I used the skills and knowledge I gained from this course to prepare a presentation for the Meeting of the Minds research presentation poster. The course helped me to develop a deep understanding of research methods and the ability to analyze data in a meaningful way.

Additionally, I utilized the knowledge and skills gained from this course in applying for an IRB for my action project for my CSU Dialogue research. The course equipped me with the tools to design a study that is ethical, valid, and reliable. I was able to successfully navigate the IRB process and obtain approval for my study.

Overall, I feel proud of these accomplishments and look forward to utilizing the skills and knowledge gained from this course to continue pursuing academic excellence in the future. I believe that the skills I have learned in this course will continue to serve me well as I move forward in my academic career and beyond.

I am most proud that I was able to get through this semester. I was working full time and it's been difficult to balance both school and work. Towards mid of the semester I had a family member get really sick and that took toll on me since I was always worried about taking them to the doctors. Overall this semester was a roller coater but I'm glad I was able to complete it.

Brenda Bravo

brendabravo25 — 2023-05-13 19:40:22 UTC

I am most proud of myself, for this semester has been tough with the diagnosis of my father's cancer, my mother's multiple surgeries, the sudden deaths in my family, taking care of my own family, working full time, and being a student full time. Yet, I continue to push through with perseverance. As the saying goes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I feel so close I can taste it. Finally, the semester is ending, and I have learned so much from the information given to us in this research methods course.

Alexa Hernandez: Module 15

2023-05-13 19:54:39 UTC

I am most proud of myself for completing my first year here at csusb. I am proud of myself for pushing through and finishing this class strong. It definitely was not easy, especially given that I am taking 18 units this semester while having 2 jobs at the same time. There were some really rough days, but I know that my hard work will pay off.

Adrian Avina

2023-05-13 20:22:59 UTC

What I am proud of this semester is actually making it through till the end of this class. Many times, I felt like I just wasn't going to pass and that's I'd need to retake this class at another point in time. Here we are though, in the final week of class, we did it! It's all about not giving up on yourself, even when things get frustrating or they seem really difficult, I didn't give up and I'm glad I didn't!

Module 15 Martina Capacete

2023-05-13 21:01:17 UTC

I am proud of the fact that while I was intimidated about attending school full-time and maintaining a healthy balance of home life, I did it. My children have been so supportive and stepped up when I was stressed or overwhelmed. They have watched me prioritize my education and take time for myself. Over spring break I decided to attend summer school and graduate at the end of the fall semester. I am excited to continue my educational journey and apply what I have learned to my home life as well as my career.

Cristyan Macias Module 15

2023-05-13 23:47:37 UTC

This semester I am proud of myself not giving up on my schooling. For some reason I found it very difficult for me to stay on top of my courses this semester and I always felt things were piling on top of me. With this after turning in assignments I would not get the grade I wanted for it and that brought my confidence down. However I just keep pushing through because I have a goal of being an educator and I will do everything to accomplish that goal. This semester is coming to an end and I’m getting nervous not going to lie but whatever happens I will keep trying hard and not give up.

004526027 — 2023-05-14 00:18:09 UTC

I am most proud of making it through another school year. I had full time classes while holding a full time job. Personal circumstances related to family and health were unexpected and having the capacity to make it through is a big win. I learned so much about what it means to conduct research, and it was challenging but ultimately insightful. This course helped me tremendously with the rest of my courses, I am grateful for that!

I am proud of myself for pushing through this semester. It has been a very difficult semester since I have had personal and health problems. I have been in the hospital a lot lately. It has affected my mental health, and I have been depressed. I have fallen behind in schoolwork but have been working on completing my assignments. I am proud of not quitting. I want to pass and finish my degree.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-05-14 00:54:11 UTC

For Module 1, we learned the difference between basic and applied research. Basic research is being used for fundamental questions of behavior. Applied research is best used for addressing practical problems and addressing potential solutions. We also reviewed the Research Inquiry Cycle

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-05-14 01:00:39 UTC

For the second module, we focused more on the language of research. We learned who uses evidence based research, such as, therapists, teacher, child care directors, clinicians, etc. We went into more depth for the Research Inquiry Cycle. We also learned about Quantitative vs Qualitative data.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-05-14 01:08:18 UTC

For Module 3, we over the scientific method. The scientific method heavily relies on gathering empirical information. We learned the steps of the scientific method. We also learned about literature reviews and how to find them. They could be found in journal articles.

Valeria Molina-Module 15

2023-05-14 01:31:24 UTC

I’ve been very proud of myself this semester, I got much done. I really tried this semester and I didn’t procrastinate as much as I usually do. I am also proud of the fact that I got all my assignments done on time with extra time to spend it with family and friends.

Jasmin Garcia

This semester was my second one here at Cal State and I am feeling more adapted know. Even though, I had a challenging ending of this semester. My chil got sick and I did as well. So I am so proud of finishing this semester and all the final projects as well!

Module 14 activity - Desiree P

2023-05-14 03:30:16 UTC

1. Start with an idea or a problem, figure out what I need to find out, and formulate some research questions, maybe incorporating my thoughts or ideas.

2. Background Research - Review literature that is already out there. Find missing literature you are interested in finding if you have not already seen it within the existing literature.

3. Organize research techniques and designs - Think of your specific research questions and the best way to formulate the method of design. Formulate a procedure to explore a confirmable question about the hypothesis.

4. Analyze the data you have acquired. Also organize the data you will be using to better find patterns or answer if the hypothesis answered

5. Interpret and share results - Identify the proper audience for this research and draw your conclusions and final research question. Make sure to include your limitations and implications when sharing or submitting your findings.

Desi P

2023-05-14 03:33:23 UTC

This semester I am most proud of just pushing through and completing. I am currently 6 months pregnant and dealing with high risk pregnancy, so trying to remain calm and complete all my studies while managing home and work life is hard, but I DID IT ! I also completed my internship at a preschool this semester for my classes and driving and being in traffic pregnant is A LOT but I also pushed through and it was the most rewarding experience. I am glad I stuck with it and completed this Spring semester, I am that much closer to my graduation.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-05-14 04:02:25 UTC

For Module 4 we learned about Research Ethics. We learned what are ethical considerations that need to be made when one is conducting research. For every study being done, one needs to be aware of the benefits and potential risks. It is important to for participants to know what their role is and that their participation is completely voluntary. It is important as researchers to protect vulnerable groups and keep thing confidential.

Celeste Alcantar

2023-05-14 04:03:35 UTC

I am proud of completing this course and my other course and pushing through it. I am proud of trying my best in each course. I found it to be a little difficult but overall I did enjoy this class. It taught me so much on research methods. I believe this class is useful for future classes.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-05-14 04:42:03 UTC

For module 5, we covered sampling. Sampling is taking a small group of the targeted population. There are two types of sampling. The first being probability and the second being nonprobability. Researchers can determine the size of the sampling group. The lecture also talks about the risks when gathering a sample.

Daisy Pompa

This semester I am proud of myself for completing my first semester as a transfer. I think I managed all my classes very well. I took a total of 6 classes and it was so stressful because I am also a mother of a 2 year old. And let me say he is terrible! It was such a challenge managing therapies, classes, and assignment due dates. But I am so happy we have come to an end.

Grecia Garcia-Quintana

2023-05-14 04:53:09 UTC

For Module 6, we learned about operationalizing and measurement. There are four levels of measurement. They are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. We also learned what constructs are. Operationalization means how the variable will be measured. There are three forms of measures. Self-report measures, behavioral measures, and psychological measures.

I am most proud of myself for gaining knowledge in this class. I have learned so much throughout this semester. This semester made me nervous because I almost at the finish line of completing my bachelor's. It's made me work harder in all my classes to do my best and finish off strong. I am very proud that I was able to balance out my schedule. I am excited to finish this semester and continue to finish what I started.

Maria Rojas Module 15

2023-05-14 05:33:02 UTC

I am most proud of finishing this class and almost finishing school to receive my bachelors degree. I honestly did not think I would get this far and I am proud of where I am. At one point, I did not think I was even going to continue my education here to get my bachelors, but my family motivated me and I am so happy they did because I feel so accomplished. Working as a preschool teacher while doing school full time was stressful, but I'm so happy and hope to graduate this fall.

Module 15 Joanna Contreras

2023-05-14 05:45:13 UTC

I would say im satisfied with most things in life as of right now, but I would say im proud of the determination I’ve had to try new things and continue my journey with school. It does get awfully stressful at times, but life isn’t easy so I can only do my best to overcome stressful events. Most of them come from time management as I can be forgetful or overloaded with other things going on at home. Although, I feel like I’ve improved my ability to manage things lately. So overall, I would like to learn how to be a tad more organized and also look forward to the new possibilities waiting for me.

Lilian Gomez

I am greatful for all that I have learned this semester. I am happy with myself that I have managed to understand research and how to properly conduct research. Along with tha I am so happy that we are almost done, this semester has been hard and filed with moments that I just wanted to quit. But I am glad that I have made it this far. I have better learned about articles and learned to like looking for articles and actually understanding them. I am so proud of everyone, we have come far this semester.

I am trying not to think of my letter grade. Because once i focus on my grade i overthink it... i currently have a B. which is great. But i try really hard each semester to focus on whats being taught in the class. Because this is one of my major classes I want to understand what i am learning. I typically get really good grades and i am proud of that. But i try not to focus on the letter so much. But rather the information i am learning. I hope to continue to earn good grades for the sake of grad school... so much to think about.

Something that I am proud of was me pushing through even though this class was difficult for me. I tried my best even though I know I could’ve done more. I am proud of trying the best trying to manage life with school.

Lilian Gomez

2023-05-14 06:13:52 UTC

Thinking about the question asked, I think I would rather have a interesting professor and get C's rather then a terrible/boring professor and get A's. The reason being that I would feel like I am actually learning and even if I get C's (they still get degrees), I would be learning and enjoying class time. Knowing that I tried my best and did all that I could.

Jada Carmichael

2023-05-14 06:18:15 UTC

Identify the problem; address what the problem is.

Reviewing the existing literature; after choosing topic have more research and notes on it. what other information can be added.

plan research; plan out all the data needed and how you will collect the data. as well as choosing a method. look further and find a path that you will take to discuss the target information.

gather and analyze all date; all data has been collected. next go over everything and interpret all data.

share information; once all information has been collected go over it and see who was the target information for. what was the target information.see what limitations may be.

I am most proud of pushing through this semester. I am proud that i was a full time student with a baby. It was very challenging but i did it. This was by far the most challenging semester. To last minute assignments to having to feed my baby. you can definitely say my mom brain took over but i overcame and got through the semester. I am one semester closer to graduating. all my hard work is almost paying off. i cant wait to be done and start my career. what a great semester!!!

Research Inquiry Cycle Revised
1.) Identify what exactly you want to research and engage in challenging your prior knowledge. Make sure the research question is clear and able to be replicated.
2.) Conduct a literature review beforehand to get an idea of what has and has not been done already and expand on the knowledge that is created, learned, or already known.
3.) Explain the data that was conducted/collected in more extensive detail of what is learned or found in your research and be clear and concise.
5.) Elaborate analyze and interpret all the data collected in great detail for others to be able to replicate your findings/study. (Etc.)
6.) Interpret your results based on what your findings are and make a conclusion, but also always consider limitations, biases, and other variables such as confounding variables. Try not to fail to account for any confounding variables that can cause you to wrongly interpret or estimate the relationship between your independent variable and dependent variable.
7.) Reflect on the process, study, variables and participants and so forth.

Gabriella Rodriguez

2023-05-14 06:57:23 UTC

I am very proud I made it to the end of the semester. I don't know how many times I had a mental break down this semester. All my classes were pretty difficult and some times I felt like I couldn't catch a break. My work is a bit stressful and on top of that I am working on my mental health. I tried not to fall behind this semester but I felt like I did a lot. I had many classes and sometimes would get confused on what's due. I'm proud of myself that I didn't quit and drop this class or any other classes of that sort.

Jesus Leon

2023-05-14 17:03:33 UTC

For this semester I am proud that I made it through. It was hard focusing on 5 classes that required a lot. That being said I am also proud of learning how to read research articles now. Back then in college when I would see an article with a methods sections and literature review I would always skip them since I did not really know how to break them down. Now I feel confident of knowing so and also how to create one for future use.

Sarah Baltazar

2023-05-15 03:40:38 UTC

I am proud that I made it this far into the semester and did not give up on this class and myself.

Congrats to everyone graduating! I am most proud of everyone in this class, we did it guys. This was a great class to learn about different types of research and how we can apply it to our everyday lives. I am proud of myself for hanging in there and can't wait for summer to be here already! If any of you guys are taking summer classes, Ill see you guys in the next class. Thank you class!

007677898 — 2023-05-20 10:01:16 UTC

This semester was possibly one of the hardest for me. I took 5 classes with a full time job and commuted over an hour to school and work 5 times a week. I am proud of myself for trying to get all my homework done while dealing with many family stresses and academic stresses. I am proud of myself for taking a bit of time to focus more on my mental health this semester even though it was hard to catch up on assignments I was able to do it.

007677898 — 2023-05-20 10:07:12 UTC

I would rather have an interesting professor because it makes the class more fun and personally I will more than likely enjoy using the knowledge that I learned in class in the real world. On the other hand I would prefer both. I would like to have good grades and have an interesting professor I know ill learn better from.

007677898 — 2023-05-20 10:10:22 UTC

Identify the problem: Begin by clearly identifying the problem or topic of interest. Formulate a specific research question that you aim to answer, and develop a hypothesis based on your anticipated findings.
Observations: Collect data and information related to your research question. Look for patterns or recurring behaviors that can provide insights into the identified problem.
Develop a research design: Plan the overall design of your research study. Consider the appropriate methodology based on the research question and determine the approach you will use (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods).
Gather data: Collect and compile all the relevant information and data acquired during the study. Ensure that the data is organized and analyzed in a meaningful way, using appropriate statistical or analytical techniques.
Interpret and share: Analyze the data and draw conclusions based on your findings. Consider the intended audience for your research and revise your findings to effectively communicate the results. This may involve writing a research paper, creating presentations, or sharing the information through other suitable means.

By following these steps, researchers can systematically investigate a problem, gather data, interpret the findings, and communicate them to others. It is important to note that research is an iterative process, and each step may require refinement or adjustment based on the outcomes and feedback received.

I found this question interesting in a way that it is not very common. By this I mean that everyone when taking a class hopes to get the best grade and pass. I do think that I would rather have professors who are passionate and motivate the students in actually learning the course.

Luz Iribe Perez

2023-05-21 01:24:55 UTC

I really liked this lecture and enjoyed going back and reviewing it. We talked about reliability and validity. In the difference between these two Validity is far more important to research than reliability. I did feel like I needed to revisit these method measures, it was good being able to go back. I will be using this new knowledge towards my future courses.

tiffanee909 — 2023-05-21 04:17:19 UTC

I am most proud of myself for being able to keep pushing. This semester has been so hard for me because I had so much on my plate within school and outside of school. Although I did not perform as I wanted to I feel like I still pushed through. I am also proud of myself for holding myself accountable for my faults and being able to see where I need to improve personally.

Quantitative Design and Methods

007850629 — 2023-11-30 00:27:18 UTC

quantitative design contains numerical data. Again correlation does not equal causation. Correlation happens when we see a relationship but we need an experiment to understand the cause. A method of quantitative data is survey research. When researchers conduct data, it is more common to use closed ended questions. Two survey designs include cross-sectional and longitudinal. BRUSO is used for guidelines when constructing good questionnaire items.
