Summary

In this video, the speaker, Destinare Lidya Mujahidah, provides a detailed guide on how to structure Chapter 2 of a quantitative thesis. She emphasizes the importance of presenting the X variables first, followed by the Y variable, and the need for theoretical explanations and previous research to back up arguments. The video also covers citation formats, logical flow in writing, and the integration of frameworks and hypotheses. Lidya further explains the significance of summarizing the research findings and providing feedback on the views of experts in each paragraph. Lastly, she encourages systematic writing and referencing.

Takeaways

• 😀 The order of presenting variables in Chapter 2 for quantitative research should start with X variables and end with Y variables.
• 😀 When writing Chapter 2, focus on discussing X variables first, followed by Y variables. This structure is key for clarity in quantitative research.
• 😀 It’s important to include previous research and expert opinions in each paragraph. Your own arguments should always be based on these prior works.
• 😀 When citing researchers, ensure proper formatting by placing their names and years in brackets (e.g., Character B, 2015) and responding to their views.
• 😀 Avoid making arguments solely based on your own opinions. You must always refer to the opinions of previous researchers to back up your writing.
• 😀 In each paragraph, after citing a researcher, offer a response or feedback to their opinion. A conclusion should be drawn at the end of each sub-chapter based on these opinions.
• 😀 The conclusion at the end of each sub-chapter should summarize the collective insights on the variable discussed (e.g., stress in adolescents).
• 😀 Ensure that each citation follows the correct format, especially when referring to multiple researchers. Maintain consistency throughout the writing.
• 😀 When transitioning between topics, use proper punctuation such as colons when starting a new paragraph and semicolons when continuing within a paragraph.
• 😀 Previous research should not only be presented but also differentiated from your own research, highlighting unique aspects like population samples or research focus.

Q & A

What is the key difference in how variables are approached in Chapter 1 versus Chapter 2 in a quantitative research thesis?

In Chapter 1, the focus is on the 'Y' variable, while in Chapter 2, the 'X' variables are discussed first, followed by the 'Y' variable.

What is the recommended order when writing Chapter 2 for a quantitative research thesis?

The recommended order is to start with the 'X' variables (X1, X2, etc.), and then move to the 'Y' variable. After all 'X' variables are discussed, the 'Y' variable is explained.

How should previous research be integrated into Chapter 2?

Previous research should be included in Chapter 2, with clear citations of each researcher’s opinion. Each paragraph must provide feedback or responses to the opinions of previous researchers, and the thesis writer must provide their own comments based on these opinions.

What is the proper way to cite previous researchers in a quantitative research thesis?

Citations should be placed at the end of the sentence in the format (Author, Year), such as 'According to Author (2015), ...'. It's important to always respond to the cited opinion in your own words.

How should a researcher conclude a sub-chapter in Chapter 2?

At the end of each sub-chapter, a conclusion should be made by summarizing the opinions of all cited figures. For example, 'Based on the definitions above, it can be concluded that...'

What are the formatting rules for sub-chapters and paragraphs in Chapter 2?

Sub-chapters should follow a specific numbering system (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.2) and paragraphs should be aligned properly. Use a colon when starting a new paragraph and a semicolon when continuing the same paragraph. It's important to avoid unstandardized symbols like strikethrough or stars.

How do you write feedback on previous research in Chapter 2?

You should provide feedback on the researcher's opinion after citing it. This feedback must be based on your understanding of their research, and it should not be solely your own opinion. For instance, 'Based on Author's (Year) research, ...' followed by your critique or addition.

What role does the conceptual framework play in Chapter 2 of a quantitative thesis?

The conceptual framework in Chapter 2 serves to explain the relationships between variables, often illustrated with diagrams. This section outlines the theoretical underpinnings of the research and helps to visualize how the variables interact.

What is the significance of providing a temporary conclusion in Chapter 2?

The temporary conclusion in Chapter 2 is important because it synthesizes the existing theories and previous research, providing a foundational understanding of the variables used in the study. It also forms the basis for developing hypotheses later on.

How should you handle the discussion of variables in a thesis if there are multiple 'X' variables?

If there are multiple 'X' variables, each should be discussed in its own sub-chapter. For example, 'X1' will have one sub-chapter, 'X2' will have another, and so on, with 'Y' being addressed in its own separate sub-chapter at the end.
