  1. 4. The specific methods or procedures used in research to gather and analyze data, often tailored to the objectives and nature of the study.
  2. 5. Research that involves the collection and analysis of numerical data to identify patterns, test theories, and make predictions.
  3. 9. A philosophy of science that asserts that knowledge should be derived from empirical evidence and observable phenomena, often emphasizing objectivity and scientific methods.
  4. 12. A theory of learning and knowledge that suggests individuals construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiences and reflections.
  5. 13. A tentative explanation or prediction that can be tested through research and experimentation. It serves as a starting point for investigation.
  6. 16. The system of methods and principles used in a particular discipline or research to achieve a particular goal. It includes the tools and procedures for conducting research.
  7. 17. The branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of being, existence, and reality. It addresses questions about what entities exist and how they can be categorized and related.
  8. 18. A subset of the population selected for study to represent the larger group and provide insights about it.
  9. 20. A set of shared beliefs, values, and practices that guide scientific research and thinking within a particular field or discipline.
  10. 21. An approach that examines social and cultural contexts and their impact on individuals and institutions, often emphasizing the role of power and ideology.
  11. 22. An approach or method that involves using probability and statistical techniques to make inferences and decisions based on data.

  1. 1. Similar to population, it refers to the complete set of elements or cases that a research study is concerned with.
  2. 2. An approach that emphasizes the observation and study of natural phenomena and processes, often within the framework of natural sciences.
  3. 3. The basic principles or underlying foundation of a field of study or theory.
  4. 6. A well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and has stood up to repeated testing and scrutiny.
  5. 7. The entire group of individuals or items that a study is interested in or aims to understand.
  6. 8. The study of knowledge—its nature, origin, and limits. It examines how knowledge is acquired, validated, and what constitutes justified belief.
  7. 10. The process of selecting a subset of individuals or items from a population for the purpose of conducting research and making inferences about the whole.
  8. 11. A simplified representation or simulation of a complex system or phenomenon used to understand, explain, or predict its behavior.
  9. 14. An approach that emphasizes reason and logic as the primary sources of knowledge and understanding, often contrasting with empirical or sensory experience.
  10. 15. The central point of attention or interest in research or discussion. It determines what aspects of a topic will be emphasized and studied.
  11. 19. A systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
