PARADIGM RESEARCH

0 Comments Posted By: Denny Dixie On 19.10

In action research, there are some specific characteristics of the primary, namely:

  1. Researchers, in this case the teacher should be involved directly in the provision of treatment.
  2. Providing treatment is not the same between each cycle, meaning that there will be  differences between the first treatment with the second treatment, a second treatment with the three treatments, and so on. It aims to find out to what extent, the optimization process that we want is reached. Examples of Real side is like giving fertilizer to the plant, a given dose a week, week 2 b administered dose, and so on, until it is known that at a dose of 'that is all' optimal growth of plants obtained.
  3.Usually done in the form of the cycle (at least held in 3 cycles), with a stage "PLANNING - ACTING - Observing - Reflecting - Revised Plan - ACTING / Observing - Reflecting - ff"
  4.Researchers are also usually accompanied by colleagues who control the provision of treatment and observing the change in the respondent.
  5. Research time is usually "a while", and even tend to be difficult to predict, because the goal is to achieve optimal conditions.
  6. It is important to look at is the PROCESS, not RESULTS (if the results, it is important that seen in experimental studies)
  7. Can not be generalized, usually the result is a form of conclusion to the class that alone, can not be used as a theory to other classes.
  
  PARADIGM RESEARCH

Research paradigm in the extreme is separated into two kinds of paradigms, quantitative and qualitative paradigms.
  1.Quantitative paradigm
This paradigm emphasizes the testing of theories through the measurement of research variables with numbers and perform data analysis with statistical procedures.
  2. Qualitative paradigm
 This study emphasizes the understanding of the problems of social life based on reality or the natural condition of setting a holistic, complex and detailed.

Table 1: Differences Quantitative and Qualitative Paradigm Assumptions
Quantitative paradigm
Qualitative paradigm
Reality is objective and a single dimension.
Reality is subjective and many dimensions.
Independent researchers who examined the facts.
Researchers studied interacts with the facts.
Value free and unbiased.
Not value free and unbiased.
Deductive approach.
Inductive approach.
Testing the theory with quantitative analysis.
Formulation of the theory with qualitative analysis.
Method of Observation (Observation)
   a) Definition and characteristics
Observation is a tool of data collection is done by systematically observe and record the symptoms investigated.
The characteristics of the method of observation are:
1) Having a specific direction, systematic, and quantitative.
2) Followed recording immediately (at time of last observation), the results can be checked and verified.

   b)  Instructions to make observations: 
1) Having knowledge of what will be observed and applied very carefully and critically.
2) Investigate the purpose of research (either general or specific). Clarity of purpose of the research will lead simplify what should be observed.

Methods Questionnaires (Questionnaire) 
a.    Definition and purpose
Questionnaire method is a list that contains a series of questions about something problem or fields that will be examined to obtain data, questionnaires distributed to respondents (those who answered so the investigation), especially in survey research.
Purpose made questionnaire or the questionnaire were:
 1) Obtain information relevant to the research objectives.
 2) Obtain information about a problem simultaneously.
b.    Types of questionnaires
According to the procedure, the questionnaire is divided into:
i. Questionnaire directly, namely a questionnaire sent to and answered by the respondents.
ii. Questionnaires indirectly, namely a questionnaire sent to someone to find information (information) about other people.

Methods Interview (Interview)
The interview is a question and answer process that took place in the study orally. Conducted in face to face two or more people, plainly hearing directly the information or explanations required.
Purpose of the interview is to gather information, and not to change or influence the opinions of respondents.

Method of Documentation
This method is derived from:
                  i.  Written sources.
Such as books, scientific magazines, archives, or personal and official documents.
                 ii.  The photos.
               iii.  Statistical data as additional data
