Pendekatan Kuantitatif dan Pendekatan Kualitatif• Quantitative approaches is a deductive

process which attempting to provide evidence for or against a pre-specified objectives focused on testing preconceived outcomes.

• Qualitative approach usually begins with open- ended observation or interviews and analysis, most often looking for patterns and processes that explain “how and why” questions.

Page 7: ResearchR&d

Kajian Kualitatif

Definisi: Satu usaha untuk memahami sesuatu situasi itu dalam keadaannya yang tersendiri. Bagaimana individu itu bertindak, berinteraksi, menjalani kehidupan harian secara neutral, menunjukkan reaksi dalam menghadapi liku-liku kehidupan yang ditempuhi, Input akhirnya ialah satu hasil kajian yang memberi kefahaman yang mendalam mengenai kehidupan sebenar responden yang dikaji (Pattom, 1985).

Page 8: ResearchR&d

Ciri Penyelidikan kualitatif

•Penyelidik adalah instrumen data dan analisis yang akan dibuat

•Penyelidikan kualitatif melibatkan kerja lapangan

•Penyelidikan kualitatif bersifat deskriptif tentang peristiwa, manusia dan proses

•Penyelidikan kualitatif bersifat induktif

The differences Qualitative research

Introduce new theories Suggest causes Descriptive, bottom-up Uses inductive thinking

Quantitative research Sharpen old/existing tools Suggest a cure Prescriptive, top-down Uses deductive thinking

Empat kaedah utama pengumpulan data kualitatif

• Pemerhatian• Temubual • Dokumen• Imej

Page 20: ResearchR&d

20

Dalam beberapa situasi penyelidik

• Mengumpul maklumat melalui pemerhatian sebagai peserta • Mengumpul maklumat melalui pemerhatian sebagai pemerhati• Melakukan temubual tak berstruktur atau terbuka dan mencatatkan temubual • Melakukan temubual tak berstruktur atau terbuka, merekodkan temubual dan dalam bentuk audio melakukan transkripsi temubual

Steps in Educational Research (Contd.)

5) define the variables involved in operational terms [e.g. Academic achievement are grades assigned by teachers; or Intelligence is the score obtained in Cattle’s Culture Fair Intelligence Test]

6) Design instruments to measure the variables involved

7) Pilot test the instruments to ascertain (I) whether it is suitable for the sample under study (2) Internal Reliabilities (Item Analyses), Test Reliablities and Test Validities.

8)Administer the instruments and score based on a predetermined score sheet.

Page 22: ResearchR&d

Steps in Educational Research (Contd.)

9) Analyse the data using SPSS 10) Interprete the analyses and answer the

research question or reject/accept the hypotheses

11) State any assumptions or limitations in the study.

Types of Educational Research

Action Research-kajian secara sistematik untuk meningkatkan amalan pendidikanoleh golongan yang terlibat melalui tindakan praktis mereka sendiri

Historical Research - describes What was; involves investigating, recording, analyzing and intepreting the events of the past

Descriptive Research - describes What is; involves the describing, recording, analysing and interpreting the conditions that exist, Comparing two or more groups, seeking relationships between two or more variables.

Experimental Research - describes What will be when certain variables are carefully controlled or manipulated

a good design is measured by its validity - its capability to answer questions it addresses.

2 types of validity: Internal Validity & External Validity

Page 31: ResearchR&d

31

Internal Validity

asks the question whether a “treatment” really made the difference

Threats to Internal Validity: a) History, b) Maturation, c) Testing, d) Instrumentation, e) Statistical Regression, f) Selection, g) Experimental Mortality and h) Interactions among factors.

Page 32: ResearchR&d

Pilot Study- Reliability and Validation of Instrument

Ascertain Reliability: (A) INTERNAL CONSISTENCY: (1) Item Analysis -

Index of discriminability (2) Split-half reliability (3) Kuder-Richardson reliability (for dichotomous data) (4) Conbach Alpha (for ordinal data) SPSS- Data Editor-Statistics-Scale-Reliability Analysis - Model (Alpha, Split-half, Guttman, Parallel)

(B) STABILITY: (1)Test-retest reliability (2) Alternate Forms reliability - use SPSS-Data Editor-Statistics-Compare Means-Paired-Samples t-test.

Ascertain Validity: (1) Content Validity (2) Construct Validity (3) Criterion-related Validity/ Concurrent Validity (4) Predictive Validity

Page 33: ResearchR&d

33

Validity

Content Validity - if the instrument tests only those aspects that should be tested

Construct Validity - if the test measures what it is supposed to measure

Criterion-related Validity/ concurrent validity - if the test scores are closely related to another test which measures similar construct

Predictive Validity - if the instrument can predict correctly a particular outcome

Page 34: ResearchR&d

34

METHODS OF ESTIMATING RELIABILITY Type of

Reliability Measure Procedure

Test-retest method Measure of stability Give the same twice to the same group with any time interval between tests from several minutes to several years

Equivalent-Forms Measure of equivalence Give two forms of the test to Method the same group in close succession Test-retest with Measure of stability Give two forms of the test to the equivalence forms and equivalence same group with increased time interval between forms Split-half method Measure of internal Give test once. Score two equivalent consistency halves test (e.g. odd items and even time) Kuder-Richardson Measure of internal Give test once. Score total test and method consistency apply Kuder-Richardson formula

Testing Normality of data collected

All data must be tested for normality before analyzing them statistically.

Normality - if the data samples the population representatively, it will be normally distributed - where the mean and median are approximately equal

Type of analysis depends on the normality of data and the level of measurement of data

- Normally distributed data - use Parametric Tests like t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson r. - Non-normally distributed data - use Non-parametric Tests like Chi-square, Spearman’s rho, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon

Reporting Product Moment Correlations

Table 1 presents the inter-correlations among Creative Child Rearing Practices (CRA), Something About Myself (SAM) and What Kind of Person Are You? (WKOPAY) scores. The correlation coefficient between CRA and SAM scores is .20 which is not significant at p < .05. This indicates that parents who perceive themselves as creative based on their past creative performances do not engage in creative child rearing practices.

The correlation coefficent between CRA and WKOPAY scores is also not significant (r = .29, p > .05). This indicates that parents who perceive themselves as creative based on their personality characteristics, also do not engage in creative child rearing practices.

Page 73: ResearchR&d

73

Report There is a significant correlation

between SAM and WKOPAY (r = .375, p < .05). The correlation is positive, indicating that an increase in SAM scores will result in an increase in WKOPAY scores. Results also show that 14% (r squared) of the variance of SAM scores is explained by WKOPAY scores. About 86% of the variance in SAM is unaccounted for.

Report

The mean CRA scores of fathers and mothers are 15.08 and 14.36 and the standard deviations are 4.05 and 3.63 respectively. These scores are subjected to t-test analysis. The Levern’s Test for equality of variance indicates that the variances are similar. The t-value obtained is .54 which is not significant at p < .05. The effect is .18.

These results indicate that fathers and mothers do not differ in their child rearing practices. The effect size indicates that parents’ gender has only a small effect on their creative child-rearing practices.

Bonferonni Correction for Multiple Comparisons

For multiple comparisons, Bonferonni corrections must be made

If the overall level of significance is set at p < .05 and the number of comparisons involved is 10, then the level of significance for each comparison must be .05/10 which is .005.

Understanding the ANOVA table

Variations among the sample meansF = ------------------------------------------- Variance within the samples

Between groups sum of squares / df 1 Between mean squareF = --------------------------------------------- = -------------------------- Within groups sum of squares / df 2 Within mean square

Between mean square is computed by subtracting the mean of the observations (the overall mean) from the mean of each group, squaring each difference, multiplying each square by the number of cases in its group, and adding the results for each group together. The total is called between-group sum of squares

Within-group sum of squares is computed by multiplying each group variance by the number of cases in the group minus 1 and add the results for all groups.

Mean square column reports sum of squares divided by its respective degree of freedom. F ratio is the ratio of the two mean squares.

Multiple Range TestScheffe Procedure

No groups are significantly different at the .05 level

Page 89: ResearchR&d

Interpreting F

If the F value is significant, then the groups are significantly different

To ascertain which groups are significantly different, perform the Scheffe test.

F (Groups -1, No. of Participants – Groups – 1) = F Value

Page 90: ResearchR&d

90

Report

Results show that the three groups do not differ significantly on CRA scores

(F (2, 37) = .632, p >.05). This represents an effect size of 3.22% [{31 / (31 + 937)} x 100] which indicates that only 3.22% of the variance of CRA scores was accounted for by the 3 groups.

Power of a test

Power of a statistical test is the probability of observing a treatment effect when it occurs.

It is the probability that it will correctly lead to the rejection of a false null hypothesis (Green, 2000)

The statistical power is the ability of the test to detect an effect if it actually exists (High, 2000)

The statistical power is denoted by 1 – β, where β is the Type II error, the probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false.

Conventionally, a test with a power greater than .8 level (or β = < .2) is considered statistically powerful.

α = is the probability of rejecting the true null hypothesis (Type I error)

β = is the probability of not rejecting the false null hypothesis (Type II error)

Page 93: ResearchR&d

93

There are four components that influence the power of a test:

1) Sample size, or the number of units (e.g., people) accessible to the study

2) Effect size, the difference between the means, divided by the standard deviation (i.e. 'sensitivity')

3) Alpha level (significance level), or the probability that the observed result is due to chance

4) Power, or the probability that you will observe a treatment effect when it occurs

Usually, experimenters can only change the sample size (population) of the study and/or the alpha value

Reporting ANOVA – Simple Factorial

As shown in Table 2, there is no significant differences between fathersand mothers with respect to Child Rearing Practices ( F = .12, p > .05).The results also show that WK groups (F = .83, p > .05) and SAM Groups (F = .24, p > .05) also do not have significant effects on CRA Scores. There are also no significant two-way interactions or three-wayInteractions between sex, WK groups and SAM groups.

The results indicate male parents do not differ from female parents in their child rearing practices. Their creative perceptions also do not affect their child rearing practices.

Multiple Regression - Assumptions

1) Ratio of cases to independent variables: 20 more cases than predictors

2) Variables must be normally distributed – check graphically or statistically (e.g. Box-plot, Histogram, skewness and kurtosis, Kolmogorov-Smirnof or Shipiro Wilk)

3) IV must be linearly related to DV (Use Scatter-plot for Bivariate

Regression, For Multitivariate Use Residual Scatter Plot between Standarized residuals and Standardized Predicted value – if linearly related – points in scatter plot are evenly distributed on both sides of 0)

4) No multicollinearity – IVs must be not be significantly correlated (use Pearson correlation Matrix to check)

5) No multivariate outliers – use Mahalanobis Distance to ascertain this.

Page 102: ResearchR&d

102

Multivariate Outlier – an example It is usual to find a person who is 15 years old

and will not be a outlier when you plot a histogram for age (univariate)

It is also common to find a person earning a salary of RM10,000 a month and this person may not be an outlier when you plot a histogram for salary (univariate)

However, if you combine both age and salary (multivariate) a person who is 15 years old earning RM10,000 may become an outlier called multivariate outlier

You need to get rid of multivariate outlier using Mahalanobis Distance before you run your multiple regression

Page 103: ResearchR&d

103

What havoc a multivariate outlier can do to your results?It can change your R from .08 to .88!

Page 104: ResearchR&d

104

Methods for Selecting Variables

Forward Selection – starting from the constant term, variable is added to the equation or regression model if it results in the largest significant (at p < .05 for e.g.) increase in multiple R2 .

Backward Selection – all variables are put into the equation or regression model. At each step, a variable is removed if this removal results in only a small insignificant change in R2.

Stepwise variable Selection – most commonly used method for model building. Is a combination of Forward Selection and Backward Selection. Variables already in the model can be removed if they are no longer significant predictors when new variables are added to the regression model.

Durbin-Watson Gives a measure of autocorrelations in

the residuals (or errors) in the values or observations in the multiple regression analyses

If the Durbin-Watson value is between 1.5 and 2.5, then the observations or values are independent there are no systematic trend in the errors of the observation of the values (there should not be a systematic trend in the errors)

Reporting Multiple Regression Results

A standard multiple regression was performed between respondents’level of education, EDUC as the dependent variable and fathers’ levelof education (PAEDUC), mothers’ level of education (MAEDUC) andrespondents’ gender (SEXDUMMY). The assumptions were evaluated using SPSS EXPLORE.Table XX displays the correlations between the variables, the unstandardized regression coefficients, B, and intercept, the standardized Regression, β, R2 and adjusted R2. R for regression was significant, F (3, 969) = 99.93, p < .05. with R2 =.24. The adjusted R2 of .23 indicates that more than one-fifth of the variability of EDUC is predicted by the three predictors.

The regression equation is:

EDUC = 9.14 + .20 (PAEDUC) + .19 (MAEDUC) + .380 (SEXDUMMY)

Bartlett's Test ofSphericity

The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy is less than .5 (should be more than .5, the higher the better) so the variables are marginally factorizable.

The Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity is significant p < .05. This indicates that the variables are related and therefore factorizable.

131

Interpreting Output

Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy = is the statistic that indicates the proportion of variance in your variables that might be caused by underlying factors. High values (close to 1.0) generally indicate that a factor analysis may be useful with your data. If the value is less than 0.5, the results of the factor analysis probably won't be very useful
