Reflection on Liebeck and Skemp Reflecting on my readings of Skemp, R. (1989) Mathematics in the Primary School, and Liebeck, P. (1990) How Children Learn Mathematics. I have reflected on the importance of Mathematics in the world around us as human beings and how it is taught within our schools. Skemp asks the question ‘Why is Mathematics still a problem subject for so many?’ One of the theories put forward is that the teaching of Maths is seen as satisfying teachers and adults by children achieving ticks for their mathematical work passing exams without fully understanding the subject. However children are achieving this through rote, a form of habitual learning. Intelligent learning is adaptable achieving the answer by way of different procedures or routes (building up knowledge) in understanding how to figure out the problem by a variety of schemas.
It is used in case studies, when opinions of different persons need to be gathered (Huber & Warring, 2010). Experimentation Experimentation is the method in which evidence of the data is gathered through various sources. It includes the nature of research question This method is used when decisions need to be taken. It is used to gather evidences about the research questions (Groz, & Hierons, 2004). Encoding In this method, researcher translates the information gathered from diversified people into own understandable language.
Research Process and Terminology Paper Kelli Love CJA/334 July 5, 2015 Greg Moore Research Process and Terminology Paper Every field has its own research process and to be a successful researcher you have to use applied research when working in the criminal justice field. There are some terms in research that apply specifically to the criminal justice field and without this knowledge it will be hard to accomplish your job effectively. The paper focuses on the different terms used, what is research and how it works in the criminal justice field. Terminology The research processed can be categorized as either basic or applied. Basic research looks at the cause, effect and nature of things.
Research Process and Terminology According to Merriam-Webster.com (2012), “the collecting of information about a particular subject” is the definition of research. Terminology is defined as “the technical or special terms used in a business, art, science, or special subject ("," 2012). In the criminal justice field as with many others, the understanding, and use of new terminology is very important. New terminology and knowledge obtained will be useful in a variety of aspects throughout a career in criminal justice. Lacking proper terminology while conducting criminal justice research can be very detrimental to a person’s work, advancement, and career.
Qualitative and quantitative research use different tools for gathering data and tend to approach the data differently (Experiment Resources, 2012). Each research method has advantages and disadvantages in their use. Qualitative data is used mainly as a tool early on in information gathering to reduce the burden on quantitative studies. Qualitative research’s goal is to provide detail and understanding of data. Quantitative research is usually used after qualitative data has been gathered and uses that information to construct its own research gathering techniques.
