B. Concepts of Research

Research objectives address the investigation’s purpose and the types of knowledge generated from one’s investigation.

Statistical data is generated or obtained through measurement processes, which are called levels of measurement.

A research question best describes the objective of the research study, and acts as to a bridge between the research topic and hypotheses.

Ethics in social science research ensures
integrity and societal trust, preventing
harm and promoting fairness throughout
the process.

Understand the hierarchy of concepts, indicators, and constructs to transform abstract ideas into measurable insights for conducting research.

Grounded theory is the framework derived from data, systematically derived, and analyzed through the research process.

A theory provides an explanation and prediction of phenomena or facts; and attempts to answer the ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions in explanatory studies.

A variable is any property, characteristic, number, or quantity that increases or decreases over time or can take on different values in different situations.

The research hypothesis is a logical supposition and an educated prediction of the assumed relationship between two or more variables of interest.

An operational definition ensures a description of concepts and terms applied to a specific situation for collecting meaningful and standardized data.
