Full textAbstract:
Background Qualitative descriptive designs are common in nursing and healthcare research due to their inherent simplicity, flexibility and utility in diverse healthcare contexts. However, the application of descriptive research is sometimes critiqued in terms of scientific rigor. Inconsistency in decision making within the research process coupled with a lack of transparency has created issues of credibility for this type of approach. It can be difficult to clearly differentiate what constitutes a descriptive research design from the range of other methodologies at the disposal of qualitative researchers. Aims This paper provides an overview of qualitative descriptive research, orientates to the underlying philosophical perspectives and key characteristics that define this approach and identifies the implications for healthcare practice and policy. Methods and results Using real-world examples from healthcare research, the paper provides insight to the practical application of descriptive research at all stages of the design process and identifies the critical elements that should be explicit when applying this approach. Conclusions By adding to the existing knowledge base, this paper enhances the information available to researchers who wish to use the qualitative descriptive approach, influencing the standard of how this approach is employed in healthcare research.

In this paper, we draw on a models and modeling perspective to describe the design of a sequence of tasks, known as a model development sequence, that has been used to research the teaching and learning of mathematics. A central research goal of a models and modeling perspective is the development of principles for the design of sequences of modeling tasks and for the teaching of such sequences. We extend our earlier research by elaborating how a model development sequence can be used to support students in developing models that are not only descriptive but also have explanatory power when connected to existing mathematical models. In so doing, we elaborate language issues about representations and context as well as the implementation strategies used by the teacher.

Full textAbstract:
Topic-specific Didactical Design Research is a research methodology with two aims, 1) designing and improving teaching-learning arrangements and 2) generating theoretical contributions for understanding the initiated teaching-learning processes for a certain topic. The article provides methodological reflections and examples for elaborating the meaning of theorizing within this methodology. Starting from a distinction of categorial, descriptive, explanatory, normative and predictive theory elements with their functions and logical structures, the examples show that theorizing in Design Research studies can be conceived as a process of successively developing and connecting theory elements, for the how-questions (the rationales for the arrangements) and the what-questions (the structuring of the learning content). The considerations are illustrated for the case of topic-specific Didactical Design Research for language-responsive classrooms, particularly in relation to language learners’ conceptual understanding of fractions, variables, and percentages.

Full textAbstract:
To draw informed conclusions from research studies, research consumers need full and accurate descriptions of study methods and procedures. Preregistration has been proposed as a means to clarify reporting of research methods and procedures, with the goal of reducing bias in research. However, preregistration has been applied primarily to research studies utilizing group designs. In this article, we discuss general issues in preregistration and consider the use of preregistration in single-case design research, particularly as it relates to differing applications of this methodology. We then provide a rationale and make specific recommendations for preregistering single-case design research, including guidelines for preregistering basic descriptive information, research questions, participant characteristics, baseline conditions, independent and dependent variables, hypotheses, and phase-change decisions.

The paucity of knowledge of research study design poses challenges to the approach to current research methodologies. This study aims to highlight the various types of research study designs and their suitability for quantitative research studies. This was an exploratory essay on research designs in quantitative research methodology. The study was conducted by the literature review of similar articles on research study designs using Google Scholar, African Journal Online (AJOL), PubMed, MEDLINE and CINAHL as databases. A pair of medical subject headings (Research Design and Quantitative Research Methodology) were used as a search strategy to explore the research question in the above database. There are two arms of research designs in quantitative research study namely the experimental and non-experimental study designs. The experimental arm includes prospective (i.e., clinical trial) and diagnostic studies. In contrast, the nonexperimental arm which is predominantly an observational study is subdivided into descriptive (i.e., case series, case-control) and analytical (i.e., case-control, retrospective, cross-sectional) studies. In conclusion, the research design in quantitative research methodology is broadly classified into experimental and nonexperimental study designs. It plays a significant role in the decision-making of the data collection mechanism. It is a vital tool for the verification of the credibility of a quantitative research methodology.

Writing is considered as an important skill in learning process which is needed to be mastered by the students. However, in teaching learning process at schools or universities, the assessment of writing skill is not becoming the focus of learning process and the assessment is administered inappropriately. In this present study, the researcher undertook the study which dealt with assessing descriptive paragraph writing ability of the students through picture description by employing an ex post facto as the research design. The present study was intended to answer the research problem dealing with the extent of the students’ achievement of descriptive paragraph writing ability which is assessed through picture description. The samples under the study were 40 students determined by means of random sampling technique with lottery system. The data were collected through administering picture description as the research instrument. The obtained data were analyzed by using norm-reference measure of five standard values. The results of the data analysis showed that there were 67.50% samples of the study were successful in writing descriptive paragraph, while there were 32.50% samples were unsuccessful in writing descriptive paragraph which was assessed by administering picture description test

Surveys are one of the most frequently employed study designs in healthcare epidemiology research. Generally easier to undertake and less costly than many other study designs, surveys can be invaluable to gain insights into opinions and practices in large samples and may be descriptive and/or be used to test associations. In this context, qualitative research methods may complement this study design either at the survey development phase and/or at the interpretation/extension of results stage. This methods article focuses on key considerations for designing and deploying surveys in healthcare epidemiology and antibiotic stewardship, including identification of whether or not de novo survey development is necessary, ways to optimally lay out and display a survey, denominator measurement, discussion of biases to keep in mind particularly in research using surveys, and the role of qualitative research methods to complement surveys. We review examples of surveys in healthcare epidemiology and antimicrobial stewardship and review the pros and cons of methods used. A checklist is provided to help aid design and deployment of surveys in healthcare epidemiology and antimicrobial stewardship.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;1–6

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this paper is to raise awareness and generate discussion about research methodology in engineering design. Design researchers are viewed as a single communicating community searching for scientific theories of engineering design; that is, theories that can be tested by formal methods of hypothesis testing. In the paper, the scientific method for validating theories is reviewed, and the need for operational definitions and for experiments to identify variables and meaningful abstractions is stressed. The development of a design problem taxonomy is advocated. Generating theories is viewed as guided search. Three types of design theories are described: prescriptive, cognitive descriptive, and computational. It is argued that to seek prescriptions is premature and that, unless the human and institutional variables are reduced to knowledge and control, cognitive descriptive theories will be impossibly complex. A case is made for a computational approach, though it also shown that computational and cognitive research approaches can be mutually supportive.

Sustainable Community Economic Development (SCED) has gradually been changing overtime from production philosophy to the welfare ideology of assuring better future for a resilient community. SCED's contribution in poverty alleviation, employment generation, sustainable community design, disaster control and resilience, biodiversity protection and so on. The study conducted a descriptive literature review of the history of this concept in global and Bangladesh perspective. Peer review publications in English language were considered that were indexed in reputed database like Scopus and Web of Science. The study designed two timelines of SCED concept evolution based on the information derived from the existing peer review publications. Both timelines (global and Bangladesh) were found interrelated in couple of points, especially the third phase of the global SCED connected with the first phase of Bangladesh's SCED timeline, immediately after the Liberation War. The study concluded that, SCED is an everchanging area of study and future research would reveal more sustainable features that would make the community sustainable and resilient.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the methods and systems of game design from the standpoint of existing method proposals failing to establish a common basis for systematizing design knowledge, which this paper aims to help resolve. Game design has often been subsumed by game development and associated disciplines, and game design methodology has often been subsumed by game analysis. This paper reviews related work in defining game design as an autonomous research subject and then divides the methods and systems of game design into complementary methods and core methods, with only the latter, consisting chiefly of design patterns, attempting to systematize how game design knowledge is generated. Seminal game patterns have been descriptive rather than -prescriptive and so have failed to find the requisite practitioner adoption to fulfill their role as a living method. One recent pattern approach has sought to resolve this issue by promoting pattern usage generally over the adoption of a particular language. This paper outlines an alternate and possibly complementary approach of a novel, practical basis for game design literacy for helping core methods work as a basis for systematizing game design knowledge. The proposed basis sacrifices descriptiveness to prescriptiveness to shape methods in that direction.

Designers are often blamed for producing socially irresponsible products. Their inability to formulate a decision-making process that involves end-users was observed as a reason. Design studio teaching urges students to fine-tune a thinking process but students are not convinced if their thinking is duly weighed in grading or recognized by prospective employers. They incline to follow popular trends or their studio tutors rather than fine-tuning a rational thinking process that will generate a unique solution for the task in hand. They practice assembling solutions and excelling presentation techniques in the design studio. By devising twelve design studios where design was interpreted as research to inculcate design thinking, we exposed students to research methods that can integrate end-users in their design solutions. They showed signs of acquiring knowledge in investigation and analysis of in-depth data required for creating end-user empathetic design solutions. After learning academic writing, students started becoming less descriptive, less precedent-dependent, or less tutor-dependent. We found that they preferred qualitative research methods over quantitative methods in developing a design process.

This review article examines the concept of consumer design, its essence and main elements. The definition and author's description of the concept of "consumer design" is given in the context of a complex model combining the methodologies of various scientific schools. Comparative and descriptive analyses and abductive reasoning are the basis of the research methodology. The authors analyze western works devoted to various aspects of consumer design. The main research focus is on consumer design in tourism. The article considers applied tools of consumer design in tourism and their practical value for the formation of a tourist impression (experience) as the main product of the tourism industry. The work presents the author's structure of consumer design formation, which allows to coordinate existing types of design with the needs of the tourism sector. The authors reveal necessity of leveling the negative consequences of "excess tourism" and preventing its new influences. The need for comprehensive involvement of locals in the process of tourism planning is formulated. It is concluded that there is no applied research on consumer design in tourism in Russian studies and that the design methodology is promising for the sustainable development of tourism in Russia. The conclusions and recommendations of the study can be useful in the practical activities of participants in the tourism sector in the Russian Federation to develop management decisions on its modernization and development.

Full textAbstract:
The science of design has recently gained attention as a research methodology. This methodology has significant differences from conventional quantitative and qualitative methodologies and is considered a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach. However, as we will see, the research methodology of design science is not in opposition to quantitative and qualitative methodologies but rather encompasses them. The design science methodology goes beyond mere description and explanation, taking steps toward problem-solving. Therefore, the main objective of the research methodology of design science is to shift the focus from problem-centered to solution-centered approaches, thus changing direction from purely descriptive-explanatory approaches to prescriptive ones. Despite the importance of this methodology for fields such as management, information technology management, policy-making, and other areas of the humanities, it has not received much attention in Iran. This neglect has led many researchers, especially in the social sciences, to focus their studies on describing, explaining, and analyzing issues rather than engaging in the process of designing solutions for problems. This article, while introducing and analyzing design science as a research methodology, exploring its philosophical foundations, and outlining the frameworks presented in this field, will also examine its application in Iran.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The aim of design science research (DSR) in information systems is the user-centred creation of IT-artifacts with regard to specific social environments. For culture research in the field, which is necessary for a proper localization of IT-artifacts, models and research approaches from social sciences usually are adopted. Descriptive dimension-based culture models most commonly are applied for this purpose, which assume culture being a national phenomenon and tend to reduce it to basic values. Such models are useful for investigations in behavioural culture research because it aims to isolate, describe and explain culture-specific attitudes and characteristics within a selected society. In contrast, with the necessity to deduce concrete decisions for artifact-design, research results from DSR need to go beyond this aim. As hypothesis, this contribution generally questions the applicability of such generic culture dimensions’ models for DSR and focuses on their theoretical foundation, which goes back to Hofstede’s conceptual Onion Model of Culture. The herein applied literature-based analysis confirms the hypothesis. Consequently, an alternative conceptual culture model is being introduced and discussed as theoretical foundation for culture research in DSR.</p><p> </p>

Research Question: What is the current status of self-efficacy beliefs towards research and research utilization (RU) of University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (UST-FMS) graduates who had Clinical Epidemiology in their basic medical education curriculum? Significance of the Study: There is an increase in research and RU trends globally as adherence to practice based on evidence results in improved patient outcomes. Limited studies are available in describing research and RU of Filipino physicians and there is no study available specific for UST-FMS graduates. Objectives: The study aims to describe self-efficacy beliefs towards research and RU of UST-FMS graduates’ batches 2012-2016 who had Clinical Epidemiology in their basic medical education. Study Design: A single-center, quantitative descriptive survey design was used. Methodology: Participants were graduates of UST-FMS batches 2012-2016, currently working at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital. Evidence-based Practice Confidence Scale (EPIC scale) and Edmonton Research Orientation Survey (EROS) were used to assess the research and RU of the participants gathered through snowball sampling. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics such as means and standard deviations were used to analyze the EPIC and EROS scores. Results: The UST-FMS graduates value research and are generally confident in their ability to participate in evidence-based medicine. However, they rarely conduct research and have a low understanding of statistics. Conclusion: The self-efficacy beliefs of UST-FMS graduates towards research and RU may be attributed to several factors. Clinical epidemiology as a subject may be improved by adding more lectures on statistics while hospitals should create avenues to support the conduct of research. Keywords: self-efficacy belief, research and research utilization, Clinical Epidemiology, medical education curriculum

Nursing in Italy is achieving a higher academic status as a result of decades of efforts in scientific knowledge development. Beginning in the 1980s, Italian nurses, supported by researchers from allied disciplines, have begun to design and implement research at the local, regional, and national level. This study is the first effort ever made to identify the main characteristics of Italian nursing research published in Italian journals. The review covers 14 years (1983–1997). Overall, 240 studies from 11 journals, research reports from books, and several conference proceedings have been considered. Inclusion criteria were based on quality of research design, considering components such as sampling, sample size, and method of data analysis. Each article was analyzed according to an interpretive scheme focusing on method of analysis, scientific merit, and authorship.Of the 240 studies reviewed, journal articles selected from ten Italian journals accounted for 175 (73%), or the majority, of reviewed sources. Sixty-five (26%) research reports complete the remaining number. The major areas of research identified include nursing practice (43%), nursing education (6%), nursing administration and professional issues (34%), and knowledge and perceptions in society and nursing (17%). The majority of the research studies utilized survey models (47%), including several retrospective and longitudinal studies, followed by exploratory or descriptive (36%) and quasi-experimental (17%) designs. Many reports failed to identify the method of sampling used in the research design. However, of those that did, convenience samples were most often used. Random sampling was rarely reported. The majority of studies employed only descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency distribution, central tendency, variability, contingency tables, and correlation). Only few studies made use of advanced statistics for testing hypotheses (parametric and non-parametric tests) among which only a low percentage cited reliability testing. In 42% of the studies, the authors were represented by a group of nurses. Nurses and physicians worked together to author another 30% of the studies. The remaining studies were authored by either individual nurses (24%) or nurses and nonmedical professionals (4%). Much of the reviewed research has been carried out by nurses who have little or no research training.

Full textAbstract:
Basic research is appropriate for finding overarching principles of human behavior and biophysiological processes, whereas applied research is intended to demonstrate how these principles can be used to solve problems in a healthcare setting. Hence, this review paper examined the research design approaches in medical and clinical sciences, considering its strengths and weaknesses. Research process consists of the necessary steps or series of actions required to conduct a scientific research effectively and the desired sequencing of these steps. Research methods are classified into various types, which majorly include qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. Qualitative research could be phenomenological, grounded theory, ethnographic, or exploratory-descriptive in nature. Quantitative research uses numerical data to obtain knowledge about the world. Quantitative research conducted in medical and clinical sciences could involve; descriptive research, correlational research, quasi-experimental research, or experimental research in nature. However, qualitative research can also be helpful in examining subjects about which there is little information and in understanding subjective data. Mixed research methods combine quantitative and qualitative research methods in a single study. In general, the knowledge of research design can help researcher better plan the project utilizing the most appropriate methodologies and techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Dripping rainfall simulators are important instruments in soil research. However, a large number of non-standardized simulators have been developed, making it difficult to combine and compare the results of different studies in which they were used. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to become familiar with the design and performances of the current rainfall simulators. A search has been conducted for scientific papers describing dripping rainfall simulators (DRS) and papers that are thematically related to the soil research using DRS. Simulator design analysis was performed integrally, for simulators with more than one dripper (DRS>1) and with one dripper (DRS=1). Descriptive and numerical data were extracted from the papers and sorted by proposed categories, according to which the types and subtypes of used simulators are determined. The six groups of elements that simulators could consist of have been determined, as well their characteristics, representation and statistical analyses of the available numerical parameters. The characteristics of simulators are analyzed and presented, facilitating the selection of simulators for future research. Description of future simulators in accordance to the basic groups of simulator elements should provide all data necessary for their easier replication and provide a step closer to the reduction of design diversification and standardization of rainfall simulators intended for soil research.

Purpose Information literacy has been consistently undertheorised. The purpose of this paper is to contribute in the ongoing theorisation of information literacy by exploring the meaning and implications of the emergent grounded theory of mitigating risk for information literacy research and practice. Design/methodology/approach The grounded theory was produced through a qualitative study that was framed by practice theory and the theoretical constructs of cognitive authority and affordance, and employed constructivist grounded theory, semi-structured interviews and photo-elicitation methods to explore the information literacy practices of language-learners overseas. Findings This paper provides a theoretically rich exploration of language-learner information literacy practices while further identifying the importance of time, affect and information creation within information literacy research and practice as well as the need for the continued theorisation of information literacy concepts. Research limitations/implications The paper’s constructivist grounded theorisation of information literacy remains localised and contextualised rather than generalisable. Practical implications The paper raises questions and points of reflection that may be used to inform the continued development of information literacy instruction and teaching practices. Originality/value This paper contributes to an increasingly sophisticated theoretical conceptualisation of information literacy as well as forming a basis for ongoing theoretical development in the field.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Occupational therapy (OT) enhances functional independence in the daily activities of people with disabilities and subsequently their quality of life. Research in OT generates evidence to provide safe and effective services to the disabled. However, OT research in India has been shown to have various methodological limitations. These methodological limitations are expected to impact the quality of OT research as well as the evidence derived from this research to inform decision-making in rehabilitation. The majority of the OT research is disseminated and promoted through the All India Occupational Therapists' Association's (AIOTA) annual national conference (ANC). Analyzing the abstracts, selected for the presentation at the ANC could help understand and strategically improve the quality of OT research in India. Objectives: To explore and describe the quality of OT research in India. Study Design: Descriptive analysis. Methods: Descriptive, nonsystematic review and analysis of the key methodological aspects of the conference abstracts submitted for the AIOTA ANC published in the Indian Journal of OT (IJOT) from 2017 to 2021 was carried out. Information related to the methodological aspects of the research abstracts was extracted using a data extraction form and the data were synthesized and reported descriptively. Results: About 218 abstracts had been selected for either poster or oral presentations in the AIOTA ANC. All the abstracts were included for the review. A total of 8055 participants were recruited for the studies conducted from 2017 to 2021. About 5757 (72%) of the participants were recruited for cross-sectional studies. Nearly 72 (33%) of the abstracts presented were related to cross-sectional studies, 52 (24%) were case studies and 66 (30%) were experimental studies. However, research designs implying highest level of evidence such as systematic reviews were only 4 (2%) and randomized controlled trials were only 9 (4%) with 297 participants. Notably, 203 (98%) of the all the studies evaluating effectiveness of interventions or aiming to investigate associations reported positive results with statistically significant improvements and associations. Conclusion: The review provides invaluable information related to the quality of OT research in India. It implies the need to improve the scientific rigor of the evidence generated in relation to OT research in India. This review also implies the need for a radical change and strengthening of OT research within OT education and professional practice in India. National and global OT associations need to prioritize good quality OT research by enhancing the research skills and competencies of OTs in India. This could help promote evidence-based OT science and develop the OT profession in the world's second-most populous country. In addition, it is also expected to encourage those OT researchers who have been striving to build OT research standards in India.

Full textAbstract:
This research discusses the design of character designs in illustration books getting to know DKV for SMA/MA/SMK teenagers. Teenagers need knowledge and information in making plans for the future, one of which starts with preparing to choose the right major in college. This aims to minimize cases of students feeling like they have entered the wrong major. Apart from that, the existence of the DKV sector is still underestimated by some people due to a lack of knowledge about DKV. The method used in this design is a quantitative descriptive and qualitative descriptive data analysis method through interview data, FGD (Focus Group Discussion), observation, questionnaires, and literature study which culminated in the keyword "Deep understanding DKV with the present" and obtained results in the form of 3 design characters representing 2 DKV students and 1 SMA/MA/SMK teenager. Each character is designed with a contemporary design approach in a contemporary form using a flat design drawing style.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the content of 33 empirical studies related to student self-assessment in primary and secondary education and have been published over the last decade (2009-2019) in 19 scientific journals classified in Scimago (only articles in journals with peer review system to assure their quality) in order to investigate: a) the research design (experimental, quasi-experimental, non-experimental), b) the research method (mixed method, quantitative method, qualitative method), c) the specific design (pretest-posttest etc.), d) the data collection method (questionnaire, interviews, etc.). According to the main findings most studies use non-experimental design, followed by experimental and quasi-experimental design. With regard to research methods quantitative method is used in all research designs, while qualitative and mixed method are used to a lesser degree and only in experimental and non-experimental design. Regarding the specific design, most experimental and quasi- experimental studies adopt a "pretest-posttest" design, while non-experimental studies follow mainly descriptive design. Finally, concerning the data collection methods, questionnaire is the most common method for all research designs, as opposed to other methods, such as interview or the combination of questionnaire and interview. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the issue of student self-assessment using experimental or quasi-experimental research design where the mixed methodological approach will be adopted and data collection will be carried out using various research tools such as the interview and the questionnaire in order to triangulate the results.
