CARA MENENTUKAN INDIKATOR & PARAMETER PENELITIAN

Summary

In this video, Khodijah Makarim provides guidance on how to determine research indicators and parameters, focusing on the concept of self-perception. She explains the process of breaking down a variable into measurable indicators like physical, psychic, and social perceptions. By providing examples for each indicator, she demonstrates how to translate them into specific parameters that can be used to create research instruments, such as surveys or interviews. The session encourages students to practice this translation, which is essential for conducting effective research, especially in fields like psychology, education, and management.

Takeaways

• 😀 The topic is focused on helping students practice determining research indicators and parameters.
• 😀 The importance of translating indicators into parameters is emphasized as key for creating research questions.
• 😀 The example used in the discussion is 'perception,' which is commonly studied across various fields like psychology, education, and communication.
• 😀 Perception is considered as a variable (X), and from this, three main indicators are derived: physical perception, psychic perception, and social perception.
• 😀 Each indicator can be further broken down into measurable parameters, which will eventually form the research questions.
• 😀 Physical perception parameters include attention to appearance, usefulness to others, desire to be liked, and ability to evaluate actions and behaviors.
• 😀 Psychic perception is related to how individuals perceive themselves concerning emotions, talents, and aspirations. Its parameters include the ability to recognize talent, set goals, and interact socially.
• 😀 Social perception focuses on an individual’s interactions with others, both in small and large groups. Its parameters include the ability to make friends, understand others, communicate effectively, and feel confident in social settings.
• 😀 Research practice involves learning how to break down broad indicators into more specific, measurable parameters.
• 😀 The goal is to help students understand how to develop research instruments (such as questionnaires) from these indicators and parameters, with the outcome being clear, structured research questions.
• 😀 The session concludes with a reminder to practice converting indicators to parameters, as these will be integral to constructing valid and reliable research instruments.

Q & A

What is the main purpose of the tutorial in the script?

The main purpose of the tutorial is to teach students how to determine indicators and parameters for research. It focuses on breaking down a variable (in this case, 'perception') into measurable components that can be used to create research questions.

What is the first step when determining indicators and parameters for research?

The first step is to define the key variable of the study, such as 'perception'. Once the variable is identified, it can be broken down into more specific, measurable indicators.

How does the script define the term 'indicator'?

An indicator is defined as a measurable component or aspect of a variable that can be observed and quantified in a research study.

What are the three indicators of 'perception' mentioned in the script?

The three indicators of 'perception' mentioned are physical perception, psychological perception, and social perception.

How can the indicator 'physical perception' be measured according to the script?

Physical perception can be measured through parameters such as concern about appearance, usefulness to others, desire to be liked, and ability to assess one's own behavior.

What is the purpose of translating indicators into parameters in research?

The purpose of translating indicators into parameters is to create specific, measurable aspects that can be tested or surveyed. These parameters form the basis for the research questions in the study.

Can you provide examples of parameters for 'psychological perception'?

Examples of parameters for psychological perception include the ability to recognize one's talents, the ability to set and pursue goals (aspirations), and social interaction skills.

What is the difference between 'psychological perception' and 'social perception' as described in the script?

Psychological perception relates to an individual's emotional and mental awareness, such as recognizing talents and setting goals. Social perception, on the other hand, relates to how an individual interacts with others in their environment, including their ability to communicate and build relationships.

Why is the concept of 'social perception' important in research studies?

Social perception is important in research because it involves understanding how an individual perceives and interacts with others, which plays a crucial role in interpersonal relationships, communication, and community dynamics.

How does the tutorial suggest turning parameters into research questions?

The tutorial suggests that once the parameters are identified, they should be translated into specific research questions that can be measured through surveys or interviews. For example, 'How concerned are you with your appearance?' or 'How confident are you in social settings?' are potential questions derived from the parameters.
