- - - - Statistics help us convert data into answers for those questions.
        
        What data do we retrieve depending on our focus?
        
        Population data
        
        All units of interest are being compiled, like census.
        
        With our objectives, we define the variables we want to measure.
        
        Such as defining our sample.

        Samples
        
        Only certain units of interest are being compiled, like surveys.
        
        Experimental
        
        Information is collected through an experimental design, like differential treatments.
- - - - "It is not simply presenting results with a lot of number, graphics, coefficients, and other." Perez, L. Perez, R. & Seca, M. V. (2020).
        
        To report the results it's important to make them simple and well thought out
        
        BUT it never stops there. Because our aim is to answer the questions we set for the study.
        
        we have to find:
        
        Connections between the variables
        
        This means that there is a lot of contrasting our information with the studies we used in the theoretical framework

        Maybe even causality
- - - - Also, the approach changes depending on the paradigm.
        
        Empiric
        
        Interpretative
        
        Then we have research approaches that are mainly 3:
        
        Qualitative
        
        This one does go in depth about the topic, it analyzes the context and tries to interpret that context.

        Quantitative
        
        Aims to create generalizations through statistics and doesn't go deeper than that.

        Mixed
        
        Its both quantitative and qualitative, so the perspective is even broader than before. By default, it collects data and fuses that with quantitative and qualitative data.

        It's qualitative, the reality isn't objective, so it tries to interpret that reality. The cause effect- effect is never black and white so it can have many factors to it.
        
        Made to explain the world, the reality is given, and the theory is universal. So, it's mostly about CAUSE-EFFECT.
- - - - Simply put, books, thesis, or official documents from institutions.
    - - The easiest way to explain it is all the information that has been processed already. Like news papers or online blogs.
        
        Important to actively avoid secondary sources, since in the current climate it is very easy to find misinformation that can harm the research.
        
        The sources that end up on the framework must be always about the research that is being conducted. It can never be about topics outside of our focus.
        
        Because of this it is important to define the context of the research.
        
        This is about answering the:
        
        When?
