This document contrasts the differences between thinking as a scientist versus a practitioner. A scientist builds explicit taxonomies of knowledge, tests hypotheses detached as a passive observer, and generalizes knowledge through controlling variables and statistical analysis. A practitioner builds implicit schema through situated, engaged experience, applies hunches as an active participant impacted by the environment, and contextualizes knowledge through perceptual analysis of cause and effect within a situation. Both are important modes of thinking in psychological inquiry.

Research design
There are two main functions of a research design: 1) To conceptualize an operational plan to undertake various procedures and tasks required to complete a study; and 2) To ensure these procedures are adequate to obtain valid, objective and accurate answers to research questions. Some common types of research design include action research, cohort design, cross-sectional design, descriptive design, exploratory design, longitudinal design, observational design, philosophical design, historical research design, case and field research design, descriptive or survey research design, correlation or prospective research design, and causal comparative or ex post facto research design. Each design has distinct purposes and approaches for collecting and analyzing data related to the research problem.
The scientific method
The scientific method involves systematic observation, measurement, and experimentation to formulate and test hypotheses. It requires empirical evidence and principles of reasoning to be considered scientific. Theories can be proven or disproven by experimentation. The scientific method is used in fields like physics, chemistry, and biology, and has practical applications like cooking with a recipe. The scientific process starts with a hypothesis, uses experimentation to determine outcomes, and compares results to the hypothesis to evaluate if it is acceptable or needs adjustment.
Escalante, marvin
The document discusses the key processes used in science: observing to gather facts using the senses, forming hypotheses to answer problems which are then tested through experimentation, making inferences from observations, and predicting outcomes. It notes that variables must be controlled in experiments and conclusions drawn to answer the original problem. Mastering these scientific processes helps develop important skills for scientists.
Scientific method
The document outlines the scientific method, which it describes as the procedure adopted by scientists for investigation. It discusses both the logical and technical processes involved. The logical process involves mental activities like observation and reasoning, while the technical process comprises measurement, experimentation, and other actions. It then lists and explains the key steps of the scientific method, including sensing a problem, defining it, analyzing it, collecting and interpreting data, forming hypotheses, drawing conclusions, and applying generalizations.
Importance of evidence
This chapter discusses various measures of substantive significance that are important to consider beyond just statistical significance. It covers effect size, which quantifies the size of the difference between groups, and how it is standardized. It also discusses measures used for correlations like r2 and odds ratios for comparing likelihoods between groups. N-of-1 studies are highlighted as important for evaluating significance for individual clients by analyzing changes over time from a baseline. Confidence intervals are also discussed as a way to account for error in measures.
Quantitative research design (eng 2 11)
This document discusses quantitative research design and methods. It defines quantitative research as objective and aiming to establish relationships and generalizations through statistical analysis of collected data. It then outlines five common quantitative research designs: descriptive research using questionnaires and interviews; correlational research examining associations between variables; experimental research randomly assigning treatments; historical-quantitative research using historical data; and causal research investigating cause-and-effect relationships. Finally, it lists five methods for collecting quantitative data: interviews, questionnaires, reviewing documents, observation, and experimentation.
Introduction to evidence based practice slp6030
This document discusses evidence-based practice in speech-language pathology. It defines evidence-based practice as integrating clinical expertise, patient values, and the best research evidence. Lower levels of research evidence are still useful if they are the best available. Treatment efficacy focuses on controlled studies while effectiveness looks at outcomes under typical clinical conditions. Clinicians should have an open and honest approach when considering different treatment options and be guided by principles of beneficence, autonomy, nonmaleficence, and justice. Forming answerable clinical questions is important to evidence-based practice.
SECTION 11- GENERALIZATION AND INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
1) Both expected and unexpected results are important in research and unexpected results do not necessarily mean the study was flawed.
2) Many factors can influence unexpected results, including issues with sampling, procedures, data gathering, research design, and statistical analysis.
3) Proper generalization of results requires the evidence be collected from an adequately sampled population and unsupported speculations, assumptions, or broad generalizations should be avoided.

Research
Research is defined as a systematic investigation to establish novel facts using scientific methods. It involves making observations and experiments to test theories. Some key characteristics of good research include being empirical, systematic, controlled, and employing a hypothesis to guide the investigation. Research must also be objective, unbiased, logical, and use quantitative or statistical analysis. It requires expertise, patience, effort, and courage to conduct valid, reliable research.
Study design-guide
This document provides guidance on selecting appropriate study designs for evaluating population health and health service interventions. It emphasizes that choosing an effective study design is critical for producing high-quality evaluations that can credibly demonstrate the impact of an intervention. The document outlines key initial steps in evaluation planning, such as developing a program logic model and generating evaluation questions. It then describes experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental quantitative study designs and provides examples of when each may be suitable. The intended audience is NSW Health staff involved in planning, implementing, overseeing or using results from evaluations.
Experimental research design
This document defines experimental research design and discusses its purpose and function. An experimental research design is a blueprint that allows researchers to test hypotheses about relationships between independent and dependent variables. The main purposes of research design are to provide maximum relevant information to the problem being studied, maximize experimental variance while controlling extraneous variance and minimizing error variance to produce unambiguous results. A good research design answers research questions as objectively, validly and accurately as possible by suggesting how to collect data, control variables, manipulate variables and analyze results statistically.
Retrospective Study Design
This document discusses key considerations for designing a retrospective study. It explains that retrospective studies analyze existing data collected for other purposes. The document outlines different retrospective study designs including cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies. It emphasizes important elements like defining a research question, conducting a literature review, determining sample size and sampling strategy, developing data collection instruments, establishing inclusion/exclusion criteria, ensuring reliability of data abstraction, and piloting the study methodology. Overall, the document provides guidance on setting up a rigorous retrospective study design.
Research ppt
Observation can be defined as perceiving data through the senses and is used by researchers to gather empirical data. There are two main types of observation: direct observation where the observer directly sees or hears everything happening, and indirect observation where the observer analyzes past traces like recordings or documents. Observation methods include continuous monitoring to evaluate interactions, and spot sampling like time allocation and experience sampling to record activities at various times. Observation allows researchers to directly collect first-hand information but lacks control over variables and can be difficult to quantify data.
Research Methodology
This document discusses hypothesis construction in research methodology. It defines a hypothesis as a proposed explanation or relationship between variables that is testable but unproven. Hypotheses provide focus and direction for a study by indicating what data to collect. There are two main types: research hypotheses that predict a relationship, stated as equality; and alternative hypotheses that predict an alternative if the null is false, stated as inequality. Hypotheses must be simple, verifiable, related to existing knowledge, and operationalizable. Errors can occur if the study design, sampling, data collection, analysis, or conclusions are flawed. Qualitative research does not strictly require or test hypotheses but may formulate them to highlight phenomena and relationships.
Meta analysis: Mega-silly or mega-useful?
This document discusses meta-analysis and its use and limitations in synthesizing data from multiple studies on a research question. It notes that while meta-analysis provides an objective means of synthesis, it is still susceptible to biases depending on how it is conducted. Key steps in performing a rigorous meta-analysis are outlined, including having a clear research question, documenting literature search methods, extracting study details, assessing heterogeneity and publication bias, and exploring potential moderators of findings. Concerns raised decades ago about the potential for meta-analyses to be "gamed" remain important to consider.
Towson Industrial Psychology
The document summarizes key concepts in research methods in industrial-organizational psychology. It outlines the goals of science as description, explanation, prediction, and control. It also discusses the assumptions of science, definitions of theory, types of research design, data collection techniques, measurement, statistics, and correlation and regression analysis.
Research methodology
This document discusses experimental research methodology, specifically focusing on variance, sources of error, and control techniques. It defines variance as a measure of dispersion among scores and explains how research design aims to maximize systematic variance from the experimental manipulation while controlling extraneous and minimizing error variance. Extraneous variance comes from irrelevant variables and can be controlled through randomization, elimination, matching, or statistical control. Error variance results from uncontrollable individual differences among subjects and errors of measurement. The goal is for research design to provide valid answers to research questions in an accurate and cost-effective manner.
Process of science.pptx
The document discusses the scientific process. It describes science as a methodical way of gaining precise knowledge through systematic investigation of the natural world. The scientific process involves 6 key steps: 1) making observations, 2) forming a hypothesis, 3) testing the hypothesis through controlled experiments, 4) collecting and analyzing data, 5) drawing conclusions, and 6) communicating results. The process aims to determine if a hypothesis can explain a phenomenon by subjecting it to empirical testing.
Observational Research designs: detailed description
This document provides an overview of observational research designs presented by Professor Tarek Tawfik Amin. It outlines the objectives, methodology, contents and plan of the workshop on observational research designs. Descriptive designs such as case reports, case series, and cross-sectional studies are discussed. Case reports describe individual cases while case series report aggregates of individual cases. Cross-sectional studies observe a population at a single point in time to describe disease prevalence and other characteristics. Analytical observational designs like case-control and cohort studies are also introduced.
2 research edit
The document discusses key aspects of research and scientific writing such as defining research, formulating a research problem, developing a title and hypotheses, and identifying variables. It explains that research originates from a question and requires a plan to reach a goal. When selecting a topic, factors like interest, resources, and relevance should be considered. Well-formulated research problems advance knowledge and have value. Titles should be concise and indicate what is being studied. Hypotheses state relationships between variables and are testable.
Scientific method
The scientific method is a philosophy and attitude that guides scientific research through a process of making systematic observations, developing hypotheses, conducting controlled experiments, analyzing data, and publishing results. It aims to extract dependable concepts from sensory experiences and promote scientific aims through empirical investigation rather than fixed procedures. Key aspects of the scientific method include observing phenomena, constructing tentative explanations through hypotheses, devising experiments to test hypotheses, organizing and analyzing experimental data, and communicating results to allow progress.

01 validity and its type
This document discusses the concept of validity in psychological testing and research. It provides definitions of validity from authoritative sources like the American Psychological Association. It distinguishes between different types of validity like construct validity, content validity, criterion validity, predictive validity, concurrent validity, and experimental validity, which includes statistical conclusion validity, internal validity, external validity, and ecological validity. The relationships between these types of validity are explored in depth through multiple examples and implications. The document emphasizes that validity concerns the appropriate interpretation and use of test scores rather than a test itself. It is intended as a guide on validity for Dr. GHIAS UL HAQ from SARHAD UNIVERSITY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, PESHAWAR.
Errors in research
This document discusses common errors in research and their implications. It begins by outlining the differences between quantitative and qualitative research approaches. Common errors for various research methods like questionnaires, interviews, experiments and observational studies are then described. These errors can lead to wrong business decisions, loss of capital, and market failures if research conclusions are flawed. Finally, steps like conducting a literature review, using statistical tools, double entry of data, pilot testing, and training of researchers are suggested to minimize errors.
HEALTHCARE RESEARCH METHODS: Secondary and tertiary Studies
Secondary analyses are based on the use of pre-existing data sets and usually the researcher conducting the statistical analysis has not had any contact with the participants whose data are being examined.
A systematic review is, on the other hand, the thorough compilation and summary of all publications relevant to a particular research topic.
O1
In spite of the efforts to prevent bias, the characteristics of any randomized example are not guaranteed to apply to everybody. That implies the main certainty offered to utilize this strategy is that the information applies to the individuals who take an interest.
Steps of scientific method
The document outlines the steps of the scientific method which are used to systematically gather knowledge about the world. It explains that the scientific method involves making observations, asking questions, forming hypotheses, performing experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Key aspects of the method include identifying independent and dependent variables, stating testable hypotheses, designing experiments to test hypotheses, carefully collecting and analyzing results, and determining if the conclusions drawn from data support or contradict the original hypotheses. The overall goal of using this process is to improve understanding of phenomena through empirical investigation.
Solo
This document discusses and compares Bloom's Taxonomy and SOLO Taxonomy as frameworks for understanding cognitive challenge levels and progression in learning. Bloom's Taxonomy describes different types of thinking in a hierarchy but does not show progression within a task. SOLO Taxonomy was originally developed to assess understanding demonstrated in an outcome, and more recently as a constructivist framework. The document provides an example of applying the SOLO levels - from prestructural to extended abstract - to understanding the concept of "The Alexandrine", a form of French verse. It concludes with references on using SOLO taxonomy to assess learning.
Learning Styles And Training
The document summarizes Kristin Lloyd's research paper on learning styles and training. It discusses her motivation for choosing this topic based on past training experiences. It also provides an overview of her research process, including sources consulted. The paper aims to show how incorporating learning styles into training can make learning more effective. It defines learning styles as how a person's brain learns and stores information efficiently, noting that people have different styles. The importance to trainers is that understanding learning styles allows them to help trainees learn and retain new skills in a way that works best for their individual brain.
Bab10
This document summarizes Faraday's law of induction and related concepts:
1) Faraday's law states that a changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (emf) in a circuit. The induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
2) Lenz's law describes the direction of the induced current: it will flow in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux that created it.
3) A motional emf is induced when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, causing a separation of charges and an internal electric field.

Introduction to SOLO taxonomy
SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) is a taxonomy that describes five levels of understanding - prestructural, unistructural, multistructural, relational, and extended abstract. It provides a common language for teachers and students to understand progress in learning. With SOLO, teachers can design learning intentions and success criteria, provide feedback, and reflect on next steps. Compared to Bloom's Taxonomy, SOLO focuses more on describing the learning outcome and progress toward deeper understanding. It can be used as both an assessment and diagnostic tool to identify students' current level and plan how to help them advance.
Learning Styles Presentation
The document describes two activities to assess learning styles. The first activity involves students answering questions about numbers on a screen to determine if they are visual learners. The second activity involves dividing students into groups with different tasks like holding objects to see how they perform on name recall questions. It then provides information about visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles including their key characteristics and retention rates with different study methods.
Approaches to educational planning
The document discusses three approaches to educational planning: the social demand approach, manpower requirement approach, and cost-benefit analysis approach. The social demand approach focuses on meeting public demand for education. The manpower requirement approach forecasts future workforce needs. The cost-benefit analysis approach views education as an investment and analyzes private and social rates of return. Each approach has strengths in guiding educational resources but also limitations, such as not accounting for economic factors.

Key figures and their contributions to areas like scientific management, human relations management, and motivation theories are also discussed.
Learning styles (power point)
The document discusses different learning styles, including the visual learning style. It describes the VAK model which categorizes learners as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic based on how they receive and process information. Visual learners tend to observe things like pictures, demonstrations, and films in order to improve their knowledge. They understand written instructions better than oral ones and use highlighting, color coding, mind maps and other visual techniques to memorize information.
Adult Learning Styles
The document discusses several theories of adult learning:
1. Transformational learning focuses on critically examining assumptions and creating behavioral changes through new perspectives.
2. Accelerated learning recognizes individual learning styles and teaches in a way that matches each style for faster learning.
3. The 4MAT system categorizes learning styles based on perception, processing, and brain dominance for a cyclical teaching approach.
4. Experiential learning is facilitated through student participation and control over practical problems with self-evaluation. The teacher's role is to provide resources and share feelings without dominating.
Adult Learning Styles Presentation
Educators and students must develop effective strategies and methods to transfer learning outside the classroom for academic and professional development reasons in the workplace. My knowledge of adult learning styles enables me to both differentiate instruction and teach others how to meet varying learning needs.
Learning style ppt
This document discusses learning styles and how understanding your own learning style can help you learn more effectively. There are three main learning styles: visual, which involves seeing and reading; auditory, which involves listening and talking; and kinesthetic/tactile, which involves hands-on activities. The document provides examples of how each type prefers to learn and techniques to help with learning for each style, such as using pictures for visual learners or discussing material aloud for auditory learners. Understanding your dominant learning style can improve productivity, achievement, problem solving and learning overall.

Research problem, hypothesis & conceptual framework
The document discusses sources of research problems, developing hypotheses, and conceptual frameworks. It provides the following key points:
1. Research problems can come from experience, literature, or existing theories. Developing a problem involves selecting a topic and narrowing it.
2. Hypotheses predict relationships between variables and can be inductive, deductive, simple or complex. They are tested statistically but never proven.
3. Conceptual frameworks organize ideas and provide guidance for research. Theories summarize phenomena and help make findings meaningful and generalizable.
Chapter2 the methods_of_psychological_research
The document outlines the scientific method and different types of psychological research methods. It discusses descriptive research which observes and describes behavior without explaining causes. Correlational research predicts behavior by assessing relationships between variables. Experimental research aims to explain behavior by manipulating independent variables and measuring effects on dependent variables. The document also covers ethical considerations like informed consent and debriefing when involving human participants in research.
Chapter 1 What Is Psychologist
Psychology is the science that studies mental processes and behavior. It aims to describe, explain, predict, and potentially manage behavior. Psychologists develop theories and use various methods like experiments, questionnaires, and observation to understand behavior. Some areas of psychology include clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. Psychologists work in many settings and help people with issues like emotional problems, learning, health, and work.

Cognitive Therapy: Nature and Relation to Behavior Therapy –
Republished Article
Aaron T. Beck
University of Pennsylvania
Recent innovations in behavior modification have, for the
most part, detoured around the role of cognitive processes in
the production and alleviation of symptomatology. Although
self-reports of private experiences are not verifiable by other
observers, these introspective data provide a wealth of testable
hypotheses. Repeated correlations of measures of inferred
constructs with observable behaviors have yielded consistent
findings in the predicted direction.
Systematic study of self-reports suggests that an individual’s
belief systems, expectancies, and assumptions exert a strong
influence on his state of well-being, as well as on his directly
observable behavior. Applying a cognitive model, the
clinician may usefully construe neurotic behavior in terms
of the patient’s idiosyncratic concepts of himself and of his
animate and inanimate environment. The individual’s belief
systems may be grossly contradictory; i.e., he may simulta-
neously attach credence to both realistic and unrealistic
conceptualizations of the same event or object. This inconsis-
tency in beliefs may explain, for example, why an individual
may react with fear to an innocuous situation even though he
may concomitantly acknowledge that this fear is unrealistic.
Cognitive therapy, based on cognitive theory, is designed
to modify the individual’s idiosyncratic, maladaptive
ideation. The basic cognitive technique consists of delineating
the individual’s specific misconceptions, distortions, and
maladaptive assumptions, and of testing their validity and
reasonableness. By loosening the grip of his perseverative,
distorted ideation, the patient is enabled to formulate his

It also summarizes the seven main contemporary approaches to psychology and areas of specialization within the field. Finally, it discusses the connections between psychology and health and wellness.
General Psycho
General Psychology Instructor: Dan Benkendorf. Psychology is the science of behavior and mental processes. It seeks to answer questions about the relationship between the brain and behavior, the origins of personality, why people conform to social norms, and the causes of mental illness. There are several specialty areas in psychology including biological, cognitive, experimental, developmental, social, personality, health, educational, and clinical. The scientific method uses assumptions, evidence, and conclusions to describe, explain, predict, and control behaviors. Knowledge of research methods enables accurate predictions.
Research Methods in Psychology

This document provides an introduction to psychological research. It defines research as a systematic investigation to establish facts through information gathering. The goals of psychological research include description, explanation, prediction, and control. Research methods can be experimental, involving the manipulation of independent variables, or correlational, exploring relationships between non-manipulated variables. Key aspects of the research process are identifying problems, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data. Ethical considerations like informed consent and protecting participants are also discussed.
Psychology
Psychology is the science of behavior and mental processes. It aims to describe, explain, predict, and potentially manage basic components of behavior. There are many approaches in psychology, such as structuralism, functionalism, gestalt, psychoanalysis, cognitive, behaviorism, humanistic, biological, and eclectic. While psychology uses various methods like experimentation, observation, questionnaires, and case studies, it is a unified science that seeks to understand behavior comprehensively. Psychologists work in various fields such as clinical, counseling, school, industrial, sports, and forensic psychology to promote well-being and solve problems using behavioral principles.
Approaches involved in psychological research
There are several key approaches used in psychological research:
1) The biological approach examines brain functioning and biological influences on behavior. Brain scanning technologies have advanced this approach.
2) The behavioral approach looks at relationships between organisms and their environments as well as learning histories, measuring both environmental stimuli and behavioral responses.
3) The cognitive approach focuses on mental processes like thinking, memory, and problem-solving. It examines how the brain represents and processes information.
4) Subjective approaches study individual experiences, thoughts, and feelings from the first-person perspective through methods like phenomenology.
Chapter 1 - AP Psychology

Pavlov gives a perfect approach towards conditioned reflexes and applies realistic evidence to elucidate the fact. Reading through the entire article one understands the elements of conditioned reflexes and how response is associated with them. He conducts an investigation of the normally physiological activity that takes places the cerebral cortex. This plays an important part in pointing out the necessary facts that needs to be observed throughout the practice. The elaboration of key facts is giving an important consideration with all the surrounding evidence that is accurate and reliable. The article is more educative based on the approach that it applied in addressing the topic. It played a key part in explaining the necessary practices that needs to be observed when it comes to conditioned reflexes. The concepts explained are realistic and applicable if given the appropriate consideration.

Watson gives a creative approach towards psychology that enables the reader to gain interest in it. This is based on the fact that important concepts are involved in the practice and they are highly elemental to apply and understand in relation to the field that is being addressed. He explains psychology in the manner in which the behaviorist views it. It is consequential matter of concern that involves the application of the correct concepts. In a psychologist view, creative approaches are given to enable a reader to understand the behaviorist approaches towards certain issues within people and the appropriate ways to handle certain situations. This gives a reliable framework that is important to understand and apply based on the implication that it has on the entire process. the aspect comes with the observation of order and understanding which is highly important for the people to apply.

Orgnizational behaviour
This document provides an overview of organizational behavior concepts and research methodology. It discusses three major theoretical frameworks that inform the study of organizational behavior - cognitive framework, behavioristic framework, and social cognitive framework. The cognitive framework views behavior as influenced by internal mental processes, while the behavioristic framework focuses on observable stimulus-response relationships. The social cognitive framework proposes a model of triadic reciprocal causation where personal factors, environmental influences, and behavior continually interact. The document emphasizes the importance of valid and rigorous research methodology to establish evidence-based understanding of organizational behavior.
The role of theory in bridging interdisciplinary research with evidence-based...
The role of theory in shaping and translating research into practice is neglected in the field of psychology at present. Internationally, there has been a growing call for development of an integrative theoretical framework within which research results can be understood as well as applied. A recent article in Nature Human Behaviour (Muthukrishna & Henrich, 2019), has proposed that the replication crisis currently facing the psychological sciences is the result of the lack of development of such integrative theoretical frameworks. Those authors propose that researchers should confine the questions that they ask, and the analyses that they do, to the predictions made within a particular theoretical framework. This is an important suggestion, because without a coherent theory, research results can only ever be applied to practical questions as a heuristic (or problem-solving strategy). It is suggested here that this state of affairs is the reason for the most common critical challenge made of research for evidence-based practice, which is the problem of knowing which intervention to apply, in which way, to which person, at what time, by which professional, and so on. Only a coherent theoretical framework can address these problems in applying research to practice. Finally, following Tretter and Loeffler-Statska (2018), it is proposed that systems theory (including information theory) is the best candidate for a integrative clinical theory framework that not only has potential of successfully bridging different disciplines, but also integrating the key assumptions and propositions of most dominant theories of psychology today.

This document presents a concept analysis of clinical reasoning in nursing. It defines clinical reasoning as a complex cognitive process that uses cognition, metacognition, and discipline-specific knowledge to gather and analyze patient information, evaluate its significance, and weigh alternative actions. The analysis reviews literature on related concepts like decision-making and problem-solving. It identifies attributes of clinical reasoning like the use of heuristics and how clinical reasoning abilities develop with increased experience and knowledge. Further research is needed to better understand and measure clinical reasoning.
