Macam-macam Metode Penelitian | Prof. Dr. Sugiyono, M.Pd #5

Summary

The video discusses various research methods, categorizing them by location, time frame, academic level, and purpose. It covers field research, library research, and the difference between cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. The script also addresses different types of research based on the academic level (undergraduate, graduate, and professional), highlighting the importance of internal validity for academic research, the practical value for professional research, and the need for accuracy in institutional research. Additionally, it outlines research functions, including knowledge development, problem-solving, and decision-making, alongside methods like qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research, as well as action and evaluation research.

Takeaways

• 😀 Field research involves collecting data in real-world settings, but it carries higher risks compared to library research.
• 😀 Library research focuses on gathering and analyzing existing data, often through documents and archives.
• 😀 Cross-sectional research provides a snapshot of data at a single point in time, while longitudinal research spans multiple years.
• 😀 Academic research is focused on maintaining internal validity and methodological rigor, particularly for theses and dissertations.
• 😀 Professional research combines correct methods with practical, beneficial outcomes for professionals in various fields.
• 😀 Institutional research focuses on gathering accurate data to inform decision-making processes within organizations.
• 😀 Descriptive research simply outlines phenomena, while comparative research looks at differences and similarities between variables.
• 😀 Associative research seeks to establish relationships and correlations between different variables or phenomena.
• 😀 Research serves three main functions: developing knowledge, aiding work processes, and informing decision-making.
• 😀 The evolution of research methods has progressed from descriptive, qualitative approaches to more complex mixed methods that combine qualitative and quantitative techniques.
• 😀 Research methods today, including R&D, action research, and policy evaluation, often require a mix of qualitative, quantitative, and specialized techniques.

Q & A

What are the two main types of research methods mentioned in the script?

The two main types of research methods mentioned are field research and library research.

Why was library research preferred during the pandemic?

Library research was preferred during the pandemic due to the high risk associated with field research, as it required physical presence outside.

What is the difference between cross-sectional and longitudinal research?

Cross-sectional research is conducted once and completed in a short time, while longitudinal research takes several years to complete, tracking changes over time.

What are the three main types of research based on their academic fields?

The three main types are academic, professional, and institutional research. Academic research is mainly focused on theses, dissertations, and academic papers, while professional research emphasizes practical utility and institutional research focuses on decision-making.

What is the key focus in academic research?

The key focus in academic research is on internal validity, ensuring the research method is correct and follows the proper academic standards.

What is the main characteristic of professional research?

Professional research is characterized by both the correct application of methods and the practical utility of the results.

What does institutional research prioritize?

Institutional research prioritizes accurate and complete data that can be used to make decisions, rather than focusing on complex research methods.

What are the different levels of explanation in research?

The levels of explanation in research include descriptive, comparative, and associative research.

What are the three main functions of research as described in the script?

The three main functions of research are: 1) To develop knowledge, 2) To assist in work processes, and 3) To support decision-making.

What types of research methods are mentioned in the script for different research functions?

The methods mentioned include qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, as well as specific methods like R&D (Research and Development), action research, evaluation research, and policy research.
