Methodology in Social Sciences FINAL EXAM
1. Compare and contrast differences and similtarities between qualitative and quantitative methods Study Research is divided approximately into two categories: qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research deals with more abstract descriptions, while figures and real hard data are discussed in quantitative research.There are some important parallels between these two types of study, despite these main differences. Qualitative Data one similarity between qualitative and quantitative research is that it is essentially qualitative to obtain raw data. Although numbers are impartial, the investigator still needs to select certain numbers and ignore others. So, while the numbers themselves are objective, the process of choosing them and justifying why they are more important than other numbers is qualitative, which makes all research qualitative to some degree. Quantitative Data Collection while certain qualitative data is simply the observations of a researcher, other qualitative data are "massaged" into quantitative data. Examples include surveys where individuals place their interpretation of something on a scale of 1 to 5; although the perceptions are qualitative, they are articulated in a quantitative manner. This makes it possible for researchers to turn qualitative experiences into quantitative knowledge. Researcher’s Role the investigator is interested in both qualitative and quantitative analysis approaches. The contrast is in how interested he is. The researcher will, for example, "embed" himself with a group of people in a qualitative anthropological study and write his impressions. However, in a quantitative medical review, the author will formulate the study on her own. Based on Perspective quantitative analysis uses an ethnic approach in which, through established hypotheses, the researcher gathers data and decides the ideas that will be used as interrelated variables. It will check for and evaluate the indicators. These predefined metrics will be translated into a questionnaire containing the ratings and responses. Qualitative analysis, meanwhile, uses an emic perspective where the researcher gathers data from the informant's way in the form of a comprehensive story and is often expressed as it is according to the informants' views. Mixed Methods the fact that most studies are mixed is the truth of quantitative and qualitative research. A good researcher needs to use a combination of both raw data and individual observations in order to get a full picture of a subject. This is the main similarity in most empirical studies between qualitative and quantitative analysis, both of which are used. 2. Explain briefly the following concepts: survey research;focus group;field research;reliability;plagiarism (A) The survey research method or in short it is commonly called the survey method is research in which the main source of data and information is obtained from respondents as research samples using a questionnaire or questionnaire as an instrument for data collection. In general, the sample used as the unit of analysis is an individual. However, other units such as households, groups, companies, and countries can also be used as units of analysis. One thing
times. Every time, the thermometer displays the same temperature, so the results are reliable. You measure, under identical conditions, the temperature of a liquid sample several times. (E) Plagiarism is described as "the practice of taking the words, work or ideas of someone else and passing them off as one's own." It is probably the most prevalent form of scientific dishonesty found in articles in research. In order to raise awareness of all aspects of plagiarism, the aim of this review is to present a comprehensive account of plagiarism. Plagiarism occurs when one insists that an idea is his own, or the representation of it, when it is actually someone else's. Plagiarism is described in dictionaries as the practice of taking the work or ideas of someone else and passing them off as one's own. It is also defined as "the use of the language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions of another author, and or the representation of them as one's own original work without crediting the source.
