abstract, general

A weakness of research is that the produced knowledge could be so _____________ and ___________ for direct application to specific local situations, contexts and individuals

theory, hypothesis testing

A weakness of research is that the researcher might miss out on phenomena occurring because of the focus on ___________ or _____________ _______________ rather than on theory or hypothesis generation

confimation bias

A weakness of research is that the researcher might miss out on phenomena occurring because of the focus on theory or hypothesis testing rather than on theory or hypothesis generation

local constituencies

A weakness of research is that the used variables of a researcher might not reflect the understandings of _________ ______________________

Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Gardner first outlined his theory in this 1983 book and where he suggested that people have different kinds of 'intelligences'

questions

In quantitative research it can answer all the ______________ needed

logical backgrounds

In quantitative research, it has _____________ ________________ that helps to create principles, ideas and facts

data gathering, gathering procedures

In quantitative research, it is always done by an expert because he uses valid ________________ valid, and carefully ____________________________.

persistent, leisured

In quantitative research, it must be __________ and ____________ to ensure that the activity has accuracy

effort-taking

In quantitative research, it must require _____________ capacity

bravery and courage

In quantitative research, it must require great ___________ and _________________

collection, documentation and analysis and interpretation

Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails ___________ of data, ___________ of criticial information, and ________________ and _____________ of that data/information by suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines.

substantive knowledge and findings

Research is conducted to assemble a body of _____________________ and ____________ for sharing them in an appropriate manner and to generate questions for further inquiries

validity

Research is conducted to evaluate the __________ of a hypothesis or an interpretative framework; to assemble a body of substantive knowledge and findings for sharing them in an appropriate manner and to generate

Aratillis or Jamaican Cherry Can be a Cure for Diabetes

a study from Ilo-Ilo brought this discovery to the 2019 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) that was held at Phoenix, Arizona USA.

Controlled

all variables are kept constant except those that are bare tested and experimented

Aratillis

contains antioxidants that could help because of it's anti-diabetic properties.

Transformative

data can be numerical measures and treated statistically because it employs quantitative or statistical methods

Dr. Millman

four years after the discovery of the virus, He developed the first hepatitis B vaccine along with Dr. Blumberg

first Hepatitis B vaccine

initially a heat-treated form of the virus and the first anti-cancer vaccine because it can help prevent liver cancer.

Analytical

it appears no error in its interpretation which is observed in critical analysis of data.

Empirical

it is based on observing and experimenting with theories

Hypothential

it is guiding an investigation process.

Objective

it is unbiased and logical because all findings are logically based on proper experiments and investigation

Howard Gardner

proposed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Original

research possesses/portrays the value of uniqueness, novelty, and deftness of one's work

Systematic

sorts an orderly pattern and sequential procedure

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences

suggests that traditional psychometric views of intelligence are too limited.

Dr. Baruch Blumberg

was awarded a Nobel Prize for his discovery of Hepatitis B Virus.

Hepatitis B Virus

was discovered in 1965 and was called the Australia Antigen.
