Ex 3. Read the question below and write the answers coming from your research writing classes.(15 p)
1.Give information about Qualitative research? Give example
Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research.
Qualitative research is the opposite of quantitative research , which involves collecting and analyzing numerical data for statistical analysis.
Qualitative research is commonly used in the humanities and social sciences, in subjects such as anthropology, sociology, education, health sciences, history, etc.
2 What are Research tools? Define them
A data collection tool or research tool is any tool used to measure a variable, or to collect the information needed to answer a research question. Careful selection of data collection tools can help the researcher achieve goals and save time.
Any research is only as good as the data that drives it, so choosing the right technique of data collection can make all the difference. In this article, and the next two articles to be published in the coming days, we will look at three different data collection techniques – observation, questionnaire and interview, and evaluate their suitability under different circumstances.
3 How many systems of referencing are there in use?
There are four widely-used referencing styles or conventions. They are called the MLA (Modern Languages Association) system, the APA (American Psychological Association) system, the Harvard system, and the MHRA (Modern Humanities Research Association) system.
If you are producing essays for a particular institution or even a particular department make sure you know what system it is using. Your tutors may specify one of the four listed above or they may use another one entirely. Some departments will produce sheets explaining which system they want you to use.
4 What is interviewing and it’s benefits ?
• It provides flexibility to the interviewers
• The interview has a better response rate than mailed questions, and the people who cannot read and write can also answer the questions.
• The interviewer can judge the non-verbal behavior of the respondent.
• The interviewer can decide the place for an interview in a private and silent place, unlike the ones conducted through emails which can have a completely different environment.
• The interviewer can control over the order of the question, as in the questionnaire, and can judge the spontaneity of the respondent as well.
5 What is statement of intent?
A statement of intent is an outline of a potential research area for a project you would like to undertake that:
• Highlights your area of research interest.
• Describes the importance of this area of research and why you are the right person to undertake it.
• Identifies a potential supervisor(s) who you would like to work with on the project.
Different disciplines have different requirements and expectations for the statement of intent. We recommend that you discuss your statement of intent with your proposed supervisor prior to submitting your application.
