RESEARCH METHODS VARIABLES AND HYPOTHESES Begin with stating the research question‚ the purpose of the research‚ the resources needed‚ and a plan for the research‚ including a model of the phenomenon under study. Where do research ideas come from? Curiosity; experience; need for deciding or acting; job; school; building on or contesting existing theory; available funding; etc. A preliminary research proposal‚ in one or two pages‚ a. states the research question b. states

In other words‚ if something has often happened in the past‚ it will likely happen in the future (Lee & Baskerville‚ 2003). In research that is extremely important because once researchers have collected enough data to support their hypothesis‚ they can develop a premise to predict the outcome in similar situations with a certain degree of accuracy

Research Methods Abstract Every research study begins with a problem that researches want to solve. For every problem to be researchable it must be the one that can be studied by collecting data and analyzing it. The steps without which the data collected will not move on into research process are: stating the problem‚ designing the research question and developing a hypothesis and/or purpose statements that will be supported at the end of the study. The first thing a researcher needs to

Idiophone An idiophone is any musical instrument that creates sound primarily by the instrument as a whole vibrating—without the use of strings ormembranes. It is the first of the four main divisions in the original Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification. The early classification of Victor-Charles Mahillon called this group of instruments autophones. Most percussion instruments that are not drums are idiophones. Hornbostel-Sachs divides idiophones into four main sub-categories

Mixed Methods as a Means to Overcome Methodological Limitations of Qualitative and Quantitative Research Recent meta-analyses about mixed method studies (cf. Bryman 2005) have shown that qualitative and quantitative methods are often combined in ways which lead to unrelated research results. One reason for this could be the fact that the ongoing discussions surrounding Mixed Methods still fail to address important methodological issues referring to the methodological limitations of both qualitative

Basic Types of Descriptive Research Methods One of the goals of science is description (other goals include prediction and explanation). Descriptive research methods are pretty much as they sound — they describe situations. They do not make accurate predictions‚ and they do not determine cause and effect. There are three main types of descriptive methods: observational methods‚ case-study methods and survey methods. This article will briefly describe each of these methods‚ their advantages‚ and their
