PROF RACHMAT KRIYANTONO (Prof RK) Kerangka Pemikiran

Summary

This video explains the concept of 'kerangka pemikiran' (framework of thinking) in research methodology, focusing on its role in answering research problems using theories and concepts. The speaker outlines how this framework serves as a temporary answer (hypothesis or assumption) to guide data collection in both constructivist and positivist research. In constructivism, it provides initial assumptions to prevent 'blind' data collection, while in positivism, it leads to testable hypotheses. The speaker encourages researchers to simplify these theoretical answers through visual aids like diagrams and concludes with a prayer for success in research.

Takeaways

• 😀 The script introduces the concept of 'kerangka pemikiran' (framework of thought) in research methodology.
• 😀 'Kerangka pemikiran' is a theoretical framework used to answer research problems using established theories and models.
• 😀 This framework helps in formulating answers to the research problem based on existing literature and theories from the literature review.
• 😀 The process of creating a 'kerangka pemikiran' involves theoretical discussions that lead to provisional answers or hypotheses.
• 😀 The answers generated in the framework are considered temporary and theoretical, not final conclusions.
• 😀 In Latin, these provisional answers are referred to as 'hipotesis' (hypotheses) or assumptions that are tested in the research process.
• 😀 The framework helps clarify concepts and models that researchers use to support their arguments and findings.
• 😀 The theoretical framework can be simplified into tables, diagrams, or charts for better understanding, although this is not mandatory.
• 😀 For constructivist research, the 'kerangka pemikiran' serves as a set of assumptions that guide the researcher without 'blinding' them to real-world data during data collection.
• 😀 For positivist research, the 'kerangka pemikiran' leads to the formulation of hypotheses that will be tested statistically during data collection.
• 😀 The presenter encourages the use of the 'kerangka pemikiran' to help researchers stay focused and avoid confusion during data collection and analysis.

Q & A

What is the purpose of a 'kerangka pemikiran' (framework of thought) in research?

A 'kerangka pemikiran' serves as a tool in research to address the research problem theoretically. It helps in answering the research problem by using existing theories, concepts, and models.

How is a 'kerangka pemikiran' different from a 'kerangka berpikir'?

Both terms refer to the same concept; 'kerangka pemikiran' and 'kerangka berpikir' are used interchangeably in research to describe a framework that helps in solving research problems using theoretical approaches.

What is the role of theories and concepts in forming the 'kerangka pemikiran'?

Theories and concepts are essential in forming the 'kerangka pemikiran' as they provide the foundation for answering the research questions. Researchers use these theories to create a theoretical framework to address the research problem.

Why are the answers derived from a 'kerangka pemikiran' considered tentative or preliminary?

The answers from a 'kerangka pemikiran' are considered tentative because they are based on theoretical assumptions, which are abstract and not yet tested in real-world data collection.

What is the Latin term used to describe the preliminary answers derived from a 'kerangka pemikiran'?

The Latin term used for the preliminary answers derived from a 'kerangka pemikiran' is 'hypothesis,' which also refers to initial assumptions or propositions in research.

How does the 'kerangka pemikiran' function in a positivist research approach?

In positivist research, the 'kerangka pemikiran' leads to the formulation of a hypothesis, which is tested for its validity through data collection and statistical analysis.

What is the significance of a 'kerangka pemikiran' in constructivist research?

In constructivist research, the 'kerangka pemikiran' functions as an assumption to guide the researcher, ensuring they are not 'blind' when collecting data and understanding the context of the study.

What forms can a 'kerangka pemikiran' take in a research proposal?

A 'kerangka pemikiran' can be presented in various forms, such as written narratives, tables, diagrams, or flowcharts, depending on what best simplifies the explanation of the theoretical framework.

Why is the 'kerangka pemikiran' important in addressing research problems?

The 'kerangka pemikiran' is crucial because it provides a structured way to approach the research problem using existing theories and concepts, thereby guiding the research process and ensuring clarity.

What is the relationship between 'kerangka pemikiran' and the literature review in research?

The 'kerangka pemikiran' is closely linked to the literature review (Chapter 2), where the researcher reviews existing theories and models that will be used to address the research problem.
