LESSON 3 - ELEMENTS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: CONCEPTS, CONSTRUCTS AND VARIABLES

Do you know that every discipline has its own language? Research as a discipline has its language which is only understood by researchers. Language forms the building blocks of every discipline. In social science research, we call these building blocks, elements of scientific research. There are various elements. We shall discuss these elements in lesson 3, 6,7,8. In todays lesson, we are discussing three elements. These are Concepts, Constructs and Variables. Note that elements are not discussed in any order. However, the lessons will discuss the elements that are related in one lesson.

Well delivered Dr. How do I get your book? I am interested.

[etimbuknathan]

Please Dr. Is social science research related to research in education?

[cjaytony]

Hello Dr. I must say that you are indeed a great teacher. Your lessons are quite simple and concise. I was excited the first day I came across your channel and its rich content. If I had the opportunity of these lessons during my undergraduate days, no doubt I would have become a research expert by now. However, I'm going to get there soon. Currently, I'm writing my doctoral thesis, hence the relevance of these lessons to me cannot be underrated. Thank you so much. Regarding the textbook, I would love to get a hard copy of it. How do I get the book in Nigeria and how much is it and how long will it take to get to me. Cheers!!!
