The Researcher's Challenge
Across
- 3. The act of asking questions to probe or examine something; synonymous with investigation.
- 5. The deeper process of understanding gained through education that leads to innovation and creation.
- 8. A comparative research technique that involves giving participants a series of pre-tests and post-tests.
- 9. A research approach where one starts from generalizations and moves to examining specific details.
- 11. Map A graphical tool used to organize and represent knowledge, showing relationships between concepts.
- 12. Comparison A type of quasi-experimental research that involves matching a treatment group with a similar group for comparison.
- 14. The ability of research findings to be repeated or reproduced, confirming their reliability.
- 15. The process of starting from specific observations and moving towards broader generalizations and theories.
- 16. A research characteristic that requires data to be gathered from different knowledge sources, ensuring validity and reliability.
- 17. The systematic investigation of phenomena by collecting numerical data and analyzing it using statistical methods.
- 18. An important factor in selecting a research topic, which relates to the needs of the study's target audience.
- 19. A research type that does not manipulate variables and is often used in surveys or observations.
Down
- 1. The style of expression in quantitative research that is impersonal and systematic.
- 2. A research method that involves generating theories from observed phenomena, which can then be tested.
- 4. This sampling technique is most preferred in quantitative research for its randomness and representativeness.
- 6. A research group that receives the treatment or intervention in an experimental study.
- 7. A methodical approach used in research that involves pondering specific ideas first before moving to general conclusions.
- 10. An objective analysis method in quantitative research that deals with numbers and figures.
- 11. A research group that does not receive any treatment in an experimental study.
- 13. A research method that uses scientific approaches to establish cause-and-effect relationships among variables.
