GE4 First exam – Important topics
(Key words and topics to study are bold. A summary of the book and the lectures can be
found at https://www.stuvia.nl/doc/308861/ge4--research-summary-book-en-lectures).
The golden standard of Sampling is Stratified Random Sampling, because you select men
and women, and then sample random from those two.
Hypothesis: Higher educated people earn more than lower educated people, the
independent variable here is Education Level, because it influences the earnings between
higher educated and lower educated people.
An Interview is a research type where you would use unstructured data.
The main goal of the theoretical framework is to build an argumentation leading to your
research question.
A questionnaire is an instrument for data collection.
Goals of a research proposal are for example to gain funding, find background information
about the topic, or to define the research question. You are not reporting on results in your
proposal, this comes in the review after you’ve done the research.
A concept is a variable that cannot be measured directly. It can be measured later in the
study.
Hypothesis: Avans wants to know if more tutorials lead to higher grades with the students.
In this case the dependent variable is grades, because it is influenced by the independent
variable tutorials.
Example about APA style referencing: In 2017 a research paper written by Johnson, King &
Hart is published in volume 25 of a journal called Journal of Research Proposals. A well
formulated APA reference is as follows:
Johnson C. K., King F. W., & Hart J.H. (2017). Name of the article: A meta-analysis. Journal of
Research Proposals, 25, 169-175.
If you want to do research on how British university students experience their use of
Instagram. The best way to draw a sample is to select several universities and ask several
students of each university what their experience is with Instagram.
An example of probability sampling is Cluster/ Multistage sampling, which is a form of
random sampling.
If you include a reference to a paper on your reference list, this implies that you have used
the paper in your research.
