LU 2 (the aims of research (table 5.1 pg 80) (predictive research (to…

- - - - identify key stakeholders and concepts.
      - to develop hypotheses
      - to obtain new insights
      - to confirm or reject assumptions
- - - - deductive theorizing
        
        the theorizer attempts to explain a causul relationship. the researcher subsequently develops hypothesis to test weather this relationship exists
        
        controls (to make sure the dependent variable is causing it)
        
        generalization (the population must be large and random enough to representative of your population)
        
        operationalised (developing steps for measurin)
      - inductive theorizing
        
        some researches are of the opinion that a theory should be the outcome of the research process .
        
        usually concerned with the context in which the research lakes place.
        
        the aim is not to generalize, so smaller sample size the better.
    - - limited to natural sciences, it is a phenomenon of nature that has been proven to occur without variance under certain circumstances.
  - - - does research require a quantitative or mixed methods
      - using experimental design to answer your research questions
      - is it to find an outcome or correlation
      - is it explanatory nature
  - - - why
        
        is it related to the research question
        
        assists you in solving your research problem
        
        helps you achieve your aim in the research
      - 1 based on the theory, model, conceptual framework or literature you like to test
      - 2 make sure the major intent of the study is known
      - 3 identify the dependent and independent variables
      - 4 find the right connecting word
      - 5 when writing state your independent viable first, followed by the dependent variable.
      - ensure the the hypothesis is robust and testable
        
        is it based on your research problem
        
        is it logically linked to your research problem
        
        can it be tested
        
        does it include the correct variables
  - - - independent variables ()
      - dependent variables (effected by the independent variable)
- - - - to gain an in-depth understanding of a phenomenon and how people make sense of and give meaning to their daily experiences.
    - - scrutinizing the stats quo, people may be empowered to think differently about their world.
    - - causal relationships between dependent and independent variables form the basis of research problems and question of this tradition.
