What is a research conclusion?
The final section of a research paper that summarizes findings and discusses their implications.
Define 'research limitations'.
Constraints or weaknesses in a research design that may affect the validity or generalizability of findings.
What are 'research implications'?
The potential impact or significance of research findings on a specific field, community, or the world at large.
Define 'resolution' in research.
A proposed course of action or solution to a problem based on research findings.
Define 'solution' in research.
A specific action or strategy that addresses a problem identified through research.
What is 'generalizability'?
The extent to which research findings can be applied to other populations or settings.
Define 'speculation' in research.
Forming a theory or conjecture without firm evidence, clearly identified as such.
What is 'reflective skepticism'?
Critically evaluating one's own research and assumptions to identify potential biases or weaknesses.
Define 'underlying assumptions'.
The fundamental beliefs or preconceptions that shape a research study and its interpretation.
What is the purpose of addressing limitations?
To demonstrate intellectual honesty and critical thinking by acknowledging the scope and boundaries of the research.
What is a research conclusion?
The final section of a research paper that summarizes findings and discusses their implications.
Define 'research limitations'.
Factors that constrain the scope and generalizability of research findings.
What are 'research implications'?
The broader consequences or real-world impact of research findings.
Define a 'resolution' in research.
A proposed course of action to address a problem identified in research.
Define a 'solution' in research.
A specific method or approach to resolve a problem based on research evidence.
Why is it important to root conclusions in evidence?
To avoid making unsupported claims and ensure the validity of the research.
What is reflective skepticism?
Critically evaluating your own research and challenging your assumptions.
Why explore alternative perspectives?
To provide a more balanced and comprehensive analysis of the research topic.
What is the importance of considering the pros and cons of resolutions?
To provide a balanced view and acknowledge potential downsides.
What should you do when speculating in a conclusion?
Clearly state that it is speculation and provide a basis for it.
