This document discusses scope, limitations, and delimitations in research. Scope refers to the parameters of a study, including its purpose, population, topics, area, and time period. Limitations are influences outside a researcher's control that restrict methodology and conclusions, such as time constraints or self-reported data. Delimitations are the boundaries set by the researcher, such as what topics or groups are not included. It is important to acknowledge limitations to avoid criticisms and suggest areas for further research.

Designing and Planning a Research.pptxDrHafizKosar
Research:
Research is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue. At a general level, research consists of three steps:
1. Pose a question.
2. Collect data to answer the question.
3. Present an answer to the question.
Salient Feature of Quantitative Research
Quantitative research is a methodological approach used in the social sciences and other fields to collect, analyze, and interpret numerical data. Here are some salient features of quantitative research:
1. Objective and Empirical: Quantitative research is focused on gathering objective, measurable data that can be analyzed statistically. It relies on empirical evidence rather than subjective opinions or interpretations.
2. Numerical Data: This research method involves the collection of numerical data, often in the form of statistics, percentages, or numerical measurements. The data can be subjected to statistical analysis for patterns and trends.
3. Structured Research Design: Quantitative studies typically have a structured and predetermined research design. The research process is planned in advance, and the data collection instruments, such as surveys or experiments, are carefully designed.
4. Large Sample Size: Quantitative research often requires a large sample size to ensure statistical reliability and generalizability of findings to a broader population. The goal is to make inferences about the population based on the data collected from the sample.
5. Statistical Analysis: Statistical methods and techniques, such as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and correlation analysis, are commonly used in quantitative research. These analyses help researchers draw conclusions and make predictions about the population under study.
6. Replicable and Generalizable Results: The aim of quantitative research is to produce results that are replicable and can be generalized to a larger population. This contributes to the scientific rigor and validity of the findings.
7. Closed-Ended Questions: Data collection instruments, such as surveys or questionnaires, often use closed-ended questions with predefined response options. This facilitates the quantification of responses and simplifies the analysis process.
8. Controlled Environment: In experimental quantitative research, efforts are made to control and manipulate variables to isolate cause-and-effect relationships. This allows researchers to make more precise statements about the impact of independent variables on dependent variables.
9. Objective Measurement: Quantitative research relies on objective measurements and standardized data collection methods to ensure consistency and reduce bias in the data.
10. Cross-Sectional or Longitudinal Design: Quantitative studies can be cross-sectional, examining data at a single point in time, or longitudinal, collecting data over an extended period to observe changes and trends over time.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

6. what is
LIM ITATION?
Lim itations , also known as the
bounds, are influences that the researcher
cannot control. They are the
shortcomings, conditions or influences
that cannot be controlled by the researcher
that place restrictions on your methodology
and conclusions. Any limitations that might
influence the results should be mentioned.
7. delimitations
Delimitations are choices made by the
researcher which should be
mentioned. They describe the boundaries that
you have set for the study. This is the place to
explain:
•the things that you are not doing (and why you
have chosen not to do them).
•the literature you will not review (and why not).
•the population you are not studying (and why
not).
•the methodological procedures you will not use
(and why you will not use them).
8. EXAM PLE:
Although the research has reached its aims,
there were some unavoidable limitations.
First, because of the time limit, this research
was conducted only on a small size of
population who were attending the Writing 3
course in their third semester at CTU.
Therefore, to generalize the results for larger
groups, the study should have involved more
participants at different levels. Second, the
students' overloaded work, to some extent,
might affect the result of the correlation
between the students' motivation in learning
9. When considering what
limitations there might be in your
investigation, be thorough.
Consider all of the following:
1. your analysis
2. the nature of self-reporting
3. the instruments you utilized
4. the sample
5. time constraints

11. IMPORTANCE of limitations
• Always acknowledge a
limitations.
s tudy's
It is far better for you to identify and
acknowledge your study's limitations
than to have them pointed out by your
professor and be graded down because
you appear to have ignored them.
• Keep in mind that acknowledgement
of a study's limitations is an
opportunity to make suggestions for
further research.
12. • Claming limitations is a subjective
process because you must evaluate
the impact of those limitations.
Don't just list key weaknesses and the
magnitude of a study's limitattions.
Limitations require a critical, overall
appraisal and interpretation of their
impact. You should answer the question:
do these problem with errors, methods,
validity, etc. eventually matter and, if
so, to what extent?
13. Descriptions of possible limitations
• All studies have limitations.
However, it is important that you
restrict your discussion to
limitations related to the research
problem under investigation.
* D o not apologize for not
addressing issues that you didn't
promise to investigate in your paper.
14. possible methodological limitations
• Sample size - the number of the units
of analysis you use in your study is
dictated by the type of research
problem you are investigating.
• Lack of available and/or reliable
data - lack of reliable data will likely
require you to limit the scope of your
analysis, the size of your sample, or it
can be a significant obstacle in finding
a trend and a meaningful relationship.
15. • Lack of prior research studies on the
topic - citing prior research studies forms
the basis of your literature review and
helps lay a foundation for understanding
the research problem you're investigating.
• Measure used to collect the data -
sometimes,
interpretation
after com pleting your
of the findings, you
discover that the way you gatherd data
inhibited your ability to conduct a
thorough analysis of the results.
16. • Self-reported data
you are relying on
- whether
pre-existing
self-reported data or you are
conducting a qualitative research
study and gathering the data
yourself, self-reported data is
limited by the fact that it rarely
can be independently verified.
17. possible limitations of the researcher
• Longitudinal effects - Be sure to choose
a topic that does not require an excessive
amount of time to complete the literature
review, apply the methodology, and
gather and interpret the results.
• Cultural and other type of bias - Note
that if you detect bias in a prior research,
it must be acknowledged and measures
taken should be explained to avoid
perpetuating bias.
B ias - when a person, place, or thing is viewed or
shown in a consistently inaccurate way.
18. • Access - if study depends on access to
people, organizations, or for whatever
reason, access is denied or limited, it
needs to be described.
• Fluency in a language - if your research
focuses on measuring the perceived
value of after-school tutoring among
Mexican-American ESL students, and
you're not fluent in Spanish, you're
limited in being able to read and interpret
Spanish language research studies. This
deficiency should be acknowledged.
19. when discussing limitations, be
sure to...
• Describe each limitation in detailed but
concise terms.
• Explain why each limitation exists.
• Provide the reasons why each limitation
couldn't be overcome using the
method/s chosen to gather the data.
• Assess the impact of each limitation in
relation to the overall findings and
conclusions.
• If appropriate, describe how these
limitations could point to the need of
further research.
20. Writing tips
×Don't inflate
your findings!
the im portance of
We all want our academic work to be
viewed as excellent and worthy of a
good grade, but it is important that you
understand and openly acknowledge
the limitations of your study. Inflating
the importance of your study's findings
in an attempt to hide its flaws is a big
turn off to your readers.
21. ×N eg a tive res ults a re not a lim itation!
Negative evidence refers to findings that
unexpectedly challenge rather than support
your hypothesis. If you didn't get the results
you anticipated, it may mean your
hypothesis was incorrect or you stumbled
onto something unexpected that warrants
further study. Don't fall into the trap of
thinking that results contrary to what you
expected is a limitation to your study.
22. ×Sample size limitations in qualitative
research
Determining adequate sample size in
qualitative research is ultimately a matter
of judgment and experience in evaluating
the quality of the information collected
against the uses to which it will be applied
and the particular research method and
purposive sampling strategy employed.
23. Remember…
•Stating the study limitations not
only provides extra credence to
the study but provides the
reader caution not to expect
beyond what the study can and
promises to deliver, not
withstanding certain constraints.
