From a theoretical perspective, data saturation is a critical technique in determining the sample sizes required in qualitative research. From this perspective, variability code frequency and stability is critical to data saturation and the qualitative [...]
While considering the permanence of a theory, it is crucial to apply efficient tools for measuring its validity. Thus, one cannot claim that a theory is inconsistent due to the distant timeframes of its foundation.
The characteristic feature of the nonprobability sampling is that this type of research sampling does not include a random collection of data, in contrast to the probability sampling.
As a result, it appears that while the epistemological stance is significant for any researcher, for the strong constructionism, it is of particular importance, since, for this stance, the researcher is deeply engaged in the [...]
A dependent variable is more interesting to a researcher because it turns out to be a part of a hypothesis that should be proved, and an independent variable can influence the dependent one in a [...]

The advantage of interviews is that it allows the researcher to have detailed and in-depth questions and responses and minimizes non-response.
The academy was concerned of the inconsistency of the measurements that were in use at that time, and believed that developing a new system based on invariable natural base would be the solution to the [...]
Babbie explores the methods for converting data to numerical forms and presenting them in the form of statistical analyses in terms of quantitative analysis and special features of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. The first [...]
Finally, the findings of the studies that are discussed in the paper show the usefulness of survival analysis. Over the years, scholars have utilized the discipline in the field of medicine in order to study [...]
The scientific method can be used as a way of seeking knowledge and truth especially by the Christians in trying to explain the existence of God who created the heavens and the earth.
Lastly, the researchers should consider the target participants and audience of the study to ensure that the research questions suit the two groups.
The terms also play a similar role in the world of science which is a hub of new discoveries and ancient principles.
Defining a research problem may involve first developing a succinct conceptualization of the problem and later defining its aspects and categories in regard to the nature of the content to be analyzed.
The qualitative research contradiction dwells on the dispute between the supporters and the opposing forces of the study design implementation. Though the reviewed type of the analysis is based on subjective assumptions, it has to [...]
Qualitative research is defined as a type of research that explains phenomena according to numerical data which are analyzed by means of statistical methods and techniques, while qualitative research is defined as an emergent, inductive, [...]
A good number of universities in UAE have introduced research based programs in order to improve the quality of research in the country.
This model captured the complexity of different variables in the study and therefore made the results to be highly valid. From the large number of measures evaluated during the study, the results were highly comprehensive [...]
One of the strengths of this approach is that a researcher is able to compensate for the limitations of one approach by utilizing the strengths of the other approach.
This has led to significant changes in concepts of the theory of sensation. Concepts are essential in development of theories.
After reading this article, I came to the conclusion that it is necessary to pay extra attention not only to the author of the article, but also to the periodical.
A research abstract gives a summary of the study, including the purpose, the methods used by the researchers, the sampling approach, and the study findings.
Multi-method research can be considered as one of the most effective designs for the development and study of the most problematic questions.
This is because justifying the research problem permits a researcher to continue with the study. Thus, for students choosing the problem to investigate helps guide the progressions necessary in the research.
Emic approach is used when researchers give an account as well as a description of a particular culture in a community by analyzing the data collected and delivering appropriate categories and conceptual schemes that are [...]
Cohen says that unlike the written form, recording spoken data provides a rich source for the analysis process, because besides the message it carries, the researcher is able to analyze the respondents and determine the [...]
The scope or the locus of the research is the place or the context in which the research will take place.
The locus of the study is the core network, and this refers to the implementation of the initiative of desktop virtualization.
Ross argues that the findings of a qualitative research that employs interviews as a mode of data collection, is subject to criticism because of the direct influence of the researcher.
For example, the construct of case studies contributes to the validity of its internal mechanisms through the use of a range of indicators for analyzing the theoretical intrigues of a research analysis.
The author demonstrates the relevance of the practice norms by suggesting the reason for the failure of the antisepsis theory in comparison to the asepsis theory that surgeons effectively implemented because it harmonized with the [...]
Furthermore, the method is too expensive since the researcher would have to stay with the researched in order to study their behaviour.
In this light, the main focus of this method is finding fault with a proposed theory; people already have a notion about what the research to be carried out entails, and they just wait for [...]
For the author, it is very important to learn more, to improve the personal experience and, as the result, to get an access to the wide information as the source of the ideas, arguments and [...]
The steps involved in defining a research problem include the identification of a broad topic, followed by the identification of a narrow topic.
Selection of the sources of information or the participants is based on the ability of such participants to provide useful information on the subject under study.
Apparently, the quality of today's social research is being hindered by social scientists' inability to understand a simple fact that, just as is it is being the case with plants and animals, the representatives of [...]
A business only approach to the study of the viability of the oil pipeline will provide no insight to the extent of the social and economic cost of the proposed project.
On the other hand, the general public relies on observation and perception to develop a view that influences the position of science and scientist in the society.
A researcher needs to seek the consent of all people he wants to include in a research study before it is conducted. Therefore, a researcher is able to reveal processes used to come with findings [...]
Reliable data from a research study should be relevant to the problems that the researcher should solve to help in the decision-making process. For a research to be valid, the results should be verified by [...]
Therefore, the basic argument of the empiricists is that the knowledge of the nature of the world is accumulated with time through daily experiences that an individual goes through.
Nature can tempt one to conclude that he/she is conversant with a thing while the opposite is the case. It is from the experiment that data arises that is used to prove wrong or right [...]
In such case, the hypothesis, created according to Popper's theory of falsification, cannot be disproved, and this is what is necessary for science.
The major distinction in the ways in which two fields of understanding try to reach their inference too is the source of the variation in the manner in which they persuade or convince others.
Through the studies of natural sciences, man has realized the reasons why there have been changes in climate and thus has resorted to use products that are friendly to the environment.
One of the most important features of a scientific claim, thus, a genuine science as well, is empirical falsifiability which provides that scientific claim can be either false or true.
