The Nature of Social Research

[@malzubaidi]

Basic, simple BUT very important. Research is a journey that u can't learn unless you really do it. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrewrogers9224]

I feel i have just entered a time warp Graham as you taught me as an undergraduate Human Ecology student in Huddersfield in 1982 and now some 35 years later as PhD student using realist research i have found my way back into one of your lectures. Wow. tempus fugit

[@GrahamRGibbs]

Good to hear from you. I bet we both look as young as we were in 1982. I still look back fondly to my teaching on the Human Ecology degree. re research I hope you have found Emmel, Nick (2013) Sampling and Choosing Cases in Qualitative Research: A Realist Approach. London: SAGE. and Maxwell, J.A. (2012) A realist approach to qualitative research. London: SAGE.

[@andrewrogers9224]

If only I had realised then how important Human Ecology was and that it would be the foundation that then underpinned my public health career :-D Thanks for the references, I was actually reading Emmel just before finding your videos.

[@MonicalovesTAEMIN]

Mr. Gibbs, thank you so much for your videos. I'm currently taking a social research class, and I was looking for videos related to this class. Thank you so much for the time you invested in them. I will watch all of them. I'm sure that these videos will help other students,just like me, understand the basics of social research. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Simply and cleverly explained. Thank you Graham for making research philosophy meaningful👏

[@architaanand8610]

I wish research methods were taught at my university. Your videos are extremely helpful.

[@TC-mb2dl]

2024 - great lecture! was assigned to watch this as part of a MLIS course.

[@normablandon3555]

Thank you very much for sharing your experience through your videos, Dr. Gibbs.I find them very useful for me and for my students.

[@GrahamRGibbs]

Good to hear that you and your students find them useful. I have many more I'd like to make, if only I could find the time :-(

[@behavioralhealthconceptsin4682]

Very beneficial to current and prospective students. Graham can easily be followed.

[@seratserat2193]

Tremendously, helpful¡ Thank you sir, for your comprehensive, and concise simplification of these philosophical terminologies.

[@harryprocter323]

Hi Graham! I've just found all these videos! Great resource!

[@BarakaOfficials]

Thanks indeed mr Graham Currently studying my master at University of Nairobi . And social research seemed more complicated. But after watching these videos i found it very understandable subj

[@DrJanIU]

Thank you for sharing. I am leveraging these lectures for my research methodology lectures here in South Korea.

[@mudanistlectures4446]

Very helpful and great resource. Thanks for it. Prof. Graham

[@lt.r.b.chaudhary4328]

Thank you sir for sharing your experience through your video

[@PabloOjeda1952]

Dr. Gibbs, you could report on the technology you use to make those good videos. Thank you very much.

[@shiminc53]

I have a background in experimental psychology, to some extent, i tended to believe in experiment more than qualitative research mainly because i tend to use number as telling the truth, though i understand that qualitative research could reveal things number could not tell including how participant feels. however, i have always wonder if the interpretive nature of some qualitative research could be subjected to judgmental rather than being neutral

[@ismatsalleh5092]

This video very helpful. thanks 😄

[@zaynahkhan4392]

Thank you for this masterpiece, sir.

[@bongie1100]

Quite comprehensive , simplified and good analysis

[@besa372]

Is it still called a sample if you use everyone?

[@manishbharati985]

I want to do research on kangaroo care promotes bonding and I choose two groups one who does kangaroo care and other group who doesn't, what sampling method is this also I put both of the group in to same test with same intervention giving equal opportunity to see the differences they have while putting them in same test what is the research design and what is sampling method here. Thank you

[@KhuyenNguyen-nx2eh]

It helps a lot for my business research course. Thank you very much

[@wondimagegnehub]

Dear Graham RG , thank you so much for ur effort you made to bring all the playlists available in ur page . Is there any possible option that I can get all playlists zipped in one folder . Keep Blessed and thank you once again !!

[@GrahamRGibbs]

Wondimagegnehu Birhanu I try to make the playlists logical collections of my videos. So there are some of my videos that (like the one on NVivo use) that don't fit alongside others in a playlist. The best thing to do if you want all my videos is to go to my Channel (click on my name under the video title) and select the Video tab.

[@edcruz2543]

Thanks Graham. I learned a lot from you.

[@meghanadharne7438]

[@commerceconcepts782]

thanks for uploading useful lectures about social sciences .........i find it very beneficial but i don,t know how to test the hypothesis have u made a lecture about this one

[@GrahamRGibbs]

+Muhammad Afzal Farooq Hypotheisis testing is usually done by running an experiment. You might find my video on experimental design useful kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZbMfKx7q7dpj8k

[@shobhaahirrao1866]

Very imformative sassion sr🙏

[@zewdietura3515]

Thank you Dr. Gibbs for your brief explanation on Social Sciences research it is good for my research of PhD. May I ask you a question please? How can I determine the sample size of my study from large population My study is about correlational along with qualitative. In other words, it is a mixed method.

[@abrhammeareg6588]

Interesting, what about vedio on Research Design

[@MrMichael6660]

Hello Graham, Thank you for the informative and helpful introduction to the discipline of Social Research. The content made sense and will help me with my next unit of study at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Looking forward to watching the other video sessions here. Good to see a simple and clear use of ICT in an adult education context. Michael

[@anouaraissat604]

Thanx, Mr. Gibbs for the informative and helpful videos. I wanna pose a question. Can the following hypothesis be considered a valid hypothesis in quantitative research method: University classes are teacher-centred In my view, though it seems testable, it does not involve variales influencing each other. Thanx in advance

[@GrahamRGibbs]

anouar aissat It's a starting point for a research question, but it needs a lot more work to make it a testable hypothesis. Being testable means you can show the hypothesis to be false. In its current form: 'University classes are teacher-centred' is more of an identity statement and it is hard to see how you could falsify it. On the other hand if you come up with a clear and usable definition of what teacher-centred means then you could falsify the statement by finding some classes which, by that definition, are not teacher-centred. You also need to specify what is meant by a 'University class', both what counts as a university and what kind of thing a class is (lecture, seminar, tutorial, webinar, project, presentation, field trip etc.). In this case, the most obvious way of improving the question and making it testable is to include some quantification or comparison, e.g. university undergraduate classes are more teacher centred than postgraduate classes, or more than 60% of university classes are teacher centred. Another important issue is that any good hypothesis arises out of some theoretical ideas. In your case you might have some ideas about what lies behind the adoption of certain pedagogies in universities which would lead you to ask this question. The reference to theory would also enable you to improve the hypothesis by including some of the factors and causes the theory suggests might be influential. This is how you might introduce variables into the hypothesis, e.g. traditional university vs new university, or different disciplines taught, or different cultural traditions. Your theories might also enable you to specify what is meant by 'teacher-centred' and introduce some measurable variables like proportion of the time the teacher talks in a session, types of questioning styles used by teachers etc.

[@anouaraissat604]

Graham R Gibbs Thanx so much, Mr. Gibbs, for yr comprehensive response. It helped me a lot and I think I solved to certain extent a puzzle I've been thinking of for some days. I wont abuse yr kindness and bother you too much i know how much yr time must be valuable. I just need a quick evaluation of this tentative hypothesis that I reformulated in accordance to what you said. Thanx again. St George’s Undergraduate Speaking University workshops follow traditional classroom procedures in terms of negotiation of topics of discussions, techniques used to implement classroom activities, and establishment of students’ needs and wants. .
