 Problem involve areas of concern to
researchers, conditions they want to improve,
difficulties they want to eliminate, questions
for which they seek answers.
 Find “GAP” in the previous research
1) Are children happier when taught by a
teacher of the same gender?
2) What is the best way to teach grammar?
3) What would school be like today if World War
II had not occurred?
4) Does high school achievement influence the
academic achievement of university
students?
 What goes on in a secondary school
classroom during teachers’ meeting?
(Ethnographic research)
 Do teachers behave differently toward

students of different gender? (Causal-


comparative research)
 How do parents feel about the school

counseling program? (Survey research)


 How can a principal improve the students

discipline performances? (Interview research)


1) As shown by enthusiasm in classroom.
2) As judged by the student’s math teacher using a
rating scale she developed.
3) As measured by the “Math Interest” questionnaire.
4) As shown by attention to math tasks in class.
5) As reflected by achievement in math.
6) As indicated by records showing enrollment in
math electives.
7) As shown by effort expended in class.
8) As demonstrated by number of optional
assignments completed.
9) As demonstrated by reading math books outside
class.
10) As observed by teacher aides using the
“Mathematics Interest” observation record.
 Independent variable – Dependent variable

 Will students who are taught by a team of three


teachers learn more Science than students taught by
one individual teacher?

 Sejauh manakah program mentor mentee memberi


kesan kepada pencapaian akademik dalam kalangan

 A prediction of some sort regarding the possible
outcomes of a study.
 Question:
Will students who are taught history by a teacher
of the same gender like the subject more than
the students taught by a teacher of the different
gender?
Hypothesis:
Students taught history by a teacher of the same
gender will like the subject more than students
taught history by a teacher of the different
gender.
 Essential steps:
 1) defining the research problem as precisely
as possible
 2) perusing the secondary sources
 3) selecting and perusing an appropriate
general references
 4) formulating search terms
 5) searching the general references for relevant
primary sources
 6) obtaining and reading the primary sources,
and noting and summarizing key points in the
resources.

conceptual understanding of science process skills

Author Mbewe, S. , Chabalengula, VM. , Mumba,F.

Volume 22, 2010 (page 76-86)
Research (a) To what extent are primary school pre-service
Question teachers familiar with science process skills?
(b) To what extent are primary school pre-service
teachers interested in knowing more about science
process skills?
(c) To what extent do primary school pre-service
teachers understand science process skills?
Hypothesis N/A
Methodology Survey
Sample 91 primary schools, 60 pre-service teachers
Instrument Questionnaire
Findings
Conclusion The results in this study showed that primary
school pre-service teachers had higher
familiarity and some interest levels in science
process skills, but very poor conceptual
understanding of the science process skills.
Good or Bad Good
 Sample = any group on which information
obtained

 Best sample = Population


 The medium to collect data
 Questionnaire, pre-test, post-test,

observation, rubrics, interview, data


collection, drawings etc.
 Validity and reliability
 A researcher is interested in the effects of
drugs on human beings. He asked the warden
of local penitentiary for subjects to
participate in an experiment. The warden
assigns several prisoners to participate in the
experiment. The prisoners are injected with a
number of drugs whose effects are unknown.
Their reaction to the drugs are then described
in detail by the researcher.
 A researcher is interested in investigating the
effects of diet on physical development. He
designs the study in which two groups are to be
compared. Both groups are composed of 11-
year-olds. One group is to be given an enriched
diet, high in vitamins, that has been shown to
have a strengthening effect on laboratory
animals. A second group is not to be given this
diet. The groups are to be selected from all the
of 11-year-olds in an elementary school in
Petaling Jaya where the researcher teaches.
 The basic ethical questions for all researchers
to consider are,

“Will any physical or physiological harm come


to anyone as a result of my research?”
