Constructs that can be understood differently because of their difference in values
Variables
Manipulated variables that can cause a change in other variable
Independent variable
Affected by a independent variable. Responses are expects that the result from the treatment or conditions employed
Dependent variable
Variables usually indicated in an experimental research
Confounding or extraneous variable
Characterized and describe the quality of data
Categorical variables
Based on given interval and variables relay on number for desoription
Continuous variables
Give details regarding the number or level of something
Quantitative variables
Represent kinds of types of objects
Qualitative variables
Association of values that are linked to variables
Level of measurement
Concerned with the names and categories of responses and not intended to quantify the data
Nominal scales
Intends to be ranked
Ordinal scale
Equals unit of measurement and intervals to know the distance between them more than the sequence
Interval scales
Highest level of measurement
Ratio scales
Collection of data to either test a hypothesis or describe the variables mentioned in the study
Descriptive research
Attempts to determine the level of relation between two or more quantifiable variables
Correlational research
Extensive cross sectional approach where a number of cases are considered at a particular time when the data is gathered to study
Survey research design
Established cause and effect relationship among the variable of the study
Casual comparative research
Similar to casual comparative research however the researcher can control the independent variables in the study
Experimental research
Alternative to determine the cause and effect between the two variables that cannot be subjected to experimental control
Quasi experimental research
Does not strictly follow procedures and it relies more or casual observations and opinions
Informal research
Conceptualizes a procedural and systematic approach in gaining knowledge through observation and using controlled and precise methods
Science
Knowledge gained through direct observation and experimentation
Empirical approach
Awareness of your environment’s constitutes your ideas
Observation
Knowledge cares from inquiries that are answerable
