Strategi Penyusunan Instrumen Riset menggunakan AI

Summary

In this instructional session, the speaker discusses strategies for developing research instruments for qualitative and quantitative studies. Emphasizing the importance of structured interview guidelines and questionnaires, they explain how to design effective research tools using AI assistance. Key topics include the distinction between qualitative (interview guidelines) and quantitative (questionnaires) instruments, response options for surveys, and practical steps for creating research instruments tailored to specific research questions. The speaker encourages participants to edit AI-generated content for clarity and relevance, aiming to enhance their research skills and ensure the validity of their findings.

Takeaways

• 😀 AI tools can be used to assist in preparing research instruments, but they should only be used as a support tool, not as the primary source.
• 😀 In qualitative research, the research instrument is an interview guide (pedoman wawancara), which must be structured to ensure effective data collection.
• 😀 For quantitative research, the primary instrument is a questionnaire (angket) that requires well-defined answer options to collect valid data.
• 😀 When preparing a questionnaire, it is important to avoid neutral or middle-ground answers. This can be achieved by using 4 answer options (e.g., Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree).
• 😀 The first step in creating an instrument is to generate a research grid (kisi-kisi) based on the research problem, which serves as a framework for the questions.
• 😀 The generated research grid can then be transformed into questions, each corresponding to the indicators in the research grid, for both qualitative and quantitative research.
• 😀 AI tools like Google Gemini can help generate a research grid (kisi-kisi), but the questions generated need to be customized to fit the research context.
• 😀 Each research problem may require a separate set of indicators, and for each indicator, specific questions need to be created to address it directly.
• 😀 Editing is crucial: after AI generates questions, students should modify the wording and options to better fit the research focus and avoid generic language.
• 😀 Students are encouraged to practice by generating a research instrument from the grid, refining the questions, and using the AI as a starting point for creating clear and relevant instruments.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the meeting?

The meeting focuses on discussing strategies for developing research instruments necessary for conducting field research based on proposals designed by participants in a previous semester.

Why are research instruments important in studies?

Research instruments, like questionnaires, are essential for collecting data and guiding analysis in the research report, particularly in chapters four and five.

What are the two types of research mentioned, and how do their instruments differ?

The two types of research are qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research uses interview guides, while quantitative research relies on structured questionnaires.

What are some suggested response options for quantitative questionnaires?

Three suggested response options for quantitative questionnaires are a five-point scale, a four-point scale, and a two-point scale (yes/no).

Why is it recommended to use a four-point scale for responses?

Using a four-point scale is recommended to avoid neutral responses, which can lead to ambiguous data and less valid results.

How can AI assist in the preparation of research instruments?

AI can assist by generating structured instruments based on input research questions, helping create itemized indicators, and formulating specific questions for each indicator.

What steps should participants follow when using AI to create research instruments?

Participants should input their research questions into AI, derive indicators, and create specific questions for each indicator, ensuring clarity and relevance.

What should be included in the final document after using AI for instrument development?

The final document should be formatted in Word, including all generated questions, with careful editing of language and options to ensure clarity.

What is the expected outcome of this session for the participants?

The expected outcome is for participants to practice the strategies discussed and produce well-structured research instruments, which will aid in their future academic research.

How will the instruments developed in this session benefit the participants in the future?

The skills gained in developing research instruments will enhance participants' capabilities for future academic research, making them more proficient in data collection and analysis.
