All Flashcards
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.
Why is evidence crucial in conclusions?
To support resolutions/solutions with research findings, avoiding unsupported claims.
How should speculation be handled in research?
Clearly identify it as speculation and explain its basis to maintain transparency.
Why is it important to challenge assumptions?
To identify potential biases or preconceptions that may have influenced the study.
What's the value of exploring alternative perspectives?
To consider different conclusions/solutions, potentially identifying better approaches.
Why consider pros and cons of solutions?
To provide a balanced assessment, acknowledging potential downsides of resolutions.
What is the role of a thesis in a conclusion?
The conclusion should restate the thesis and summarize how the research supports it.
How can personal reflection strengthen a conclusion?
Sharing your feelings about the research journey can provide a compelling starting point.
What is the significance of key takeaways?
Highlighting what the research revealed and what it didn't helps provide a comprehensive understanding.
How do challenges shape research?
Discussing difficulties faced and how they influenced the research adds depth and honesty.
What is the purpose of future directions?
Suggesting new questions or research avenues demonstrates critical thinking and continued inquiry.
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.
