I. INTRODUKSYON Tungkulin ng mga kabataan ang mag- aral. Kapag ang mga mag-aaral ay napagod na sa kanilang pag-aaral halimbawa’y sa kanilang pagrerebyu , may dalawang bagay sila na maaaring gawin: Una ay ang magpahinga o matulog para may lakas sila na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pag-aaral at ang ikalawa ay ang paghahanap ng mapaglilibangan at random na kaalaman sa pamamagitan ng pagsangguni sa tinatawag na “digital miracle” – ang Internet, na kung saan ito’y isang sistema na ginagamit ng buong mundo upang makipagkonekta sa mga kompyuter sa iba’t ibang uri ng telekomunikasyon at iba pa kung saan walang nakatagong datos sa publiko. Sa tanang kasaysayan ng edukasyon, malaki na ang naimbag ng internet. Sa katunayan, ang internet ang isa sa mga pangunahing paraan kung bakit ang pag-aaral ay nagiging madali, mabilis at mabisa. Kung kaya naman at napakaraming mag-aaral ang sumasangguni sa internet para sa kanilang pag-aaral. Ngunit, ang internet ay nagbibigay rin ng kaligayan at kaaliwan sa mga mag-aaral. Dalawa ang pinakamadalas na ginagawa ng mga mag-aaral kapag sila ay sumasangguni sa internet: Ang “social-networking” na kung saan ito’y naging pangunahing instrumento sa madaling komunikasyon tulad ng Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram at iba pa. At “Online Gaming” na kung saan kinahuhumalingan dahil sa mga grapiko nito tulad ng Defense of the Ancient, Mercenary, iDate at iba pa. At dito, isinisilang ang mga kakaibang salita na pinagtatakahan kung paano at saan nagmula at karaniwang naririnig sa mga mag-aaral. Ito ay ginagamitan ng teoryang Sosyalismo na tumutukoy sa malawak na sistema ng teoryang ekonomiko ng panlipunang organisasyon na nagtataguyod sa estado o sama- samang pagmamay- ari.

II. Problema at Suliranin

Ang pag- aaral na ito ay naglalayong alamin ang mga salitang ginagamit ng mga mag-aaral mula sa paggamit ng internet.

Layunin ng pag- aaral na ito na alamin ang mga kasagutan sa mga sumusunod na suliranin:

1. Paano nakaapekto ang mgasalitang galing sa internet sa pang araw-araw na pamumuhay ng mga mag- aaral?

2. Nais patunayan kung naging mabisa bas a mga pag- uusap ang mga salitang mula sa internet sa loob at labas nito?

3. Anu- ano ang mga salitang ginagamit ng mga mag- aaral na nag-iinternet? At kung may adbentahe at disadbentahe ba mula sa mga salitang ito.

III. ISKOP NG PAG- AARAL

A. Saklaw at Limitasyon

Ang mananaliksik ay naghahangad lamang na malaman ang anu- ano at ano epekto ng mga salitang ginagamit ng mga mag-aaral sa paggamit ng internet.

B. Kahalagahan ng Pag- aaral

Sa mga mananaliksik. Sa pamamagitan ng pag- aaral na ito, ang mga mananaliksik ay makakalap ang mga impormasyong makatutulong sa kanila kung paano kokontrolin ang paggamit nila ng internet at paggamit sa mga salitang mula rito. Makatutulong din ito sa pagsasakatuparan ng mga mananaiksik sa kanilang mga responsibilidad bilang mga mag- aaral. Sa tulong ng mga impormasyon ay maaaring makabuo ang mananaliksik ng realisasyon o aral na maari nilang maipamahagi sa mga mag- aaral na nasasaklaw ng kanilang pananaliksik.

Sa mga kabataan at mag- aaral. Ang mga pag- aaral na ito ay magmumulat sa mga kabataan at mag- aaral sa mga salita at epekto ng mga ito sa bawat isa. Sa mga magulang. Sa pag- aaral na ito, maaaring makatulong ito sa mga magulang upang malaman ang mga salita at epekto nito sa kanilang mga anak. At para malaman din kung hanggang saan ang disiplina nila sa pagpapagamit ng internet sa kanilang mga anak. C. Mga batayang kaalaman sa Internet:

C.1 Kahulugan ng Internet

Ayon sa Wikipedia, ang Internet ay ang mga magkakabit na mga computer network na maaaring gamitin ng mga tao sa buong mundo. Naipapadala ang mga datos sa pamamagitan ng packet switching na gamit ang inayunang pamantayan na Internet Protocol (IP). Binubuo ito ng milyon-milyong pampribado, pampubliko, pampaaralan at pampamahalaan ng mga network na may lokal hanggang malawakang saklaw at pinagka-kaugnay sa pamamagitan ng mga kawad na tanso, kawad na fiber-optic, wireless na koneksiyon at iba pang teknolohiya. Dinadala nito ang mga iba't ibang impormasyon at serbisyo, katulad ng electronic mail, online chat, at magka-kaugnay na mga pahina ng web ng World Wide Web. Dahil ito ang pinakamalaki at pinakamalawak na internet (sa maliit na titik i) sa buong mundo, tinawag ito na ang Internet (sa malaking titik I).

C.2 Kasaysayan ng Internet Noong 1969, nagsimula bilang ARPANETang mga sentral na network na binubuo ng Internet. Binuo ito ng United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). Kabilang sa mga naunang pagsasaliksik na inambag sa ARPANET ang gawa sa mga di-sentralisadong network, teoriya ng pagpila, at packet switching. Noong 1 Enero 1983, pinalitan ang sentral na networking protocol ng ARPANET mula sa NCP patungong TCP/IP, na siyang naging simula ng Internet sa pagkilala natin sa ngayon.
Noong 1986, isa sa naging mahalagang hakbang sa pagsulong nito ang paggawa ng National Science Foundation (NSF) ng isang pamantasang backbone, ang NSFNet. Kabilang ang Usenet at Bitnet sa mga mahahalagang magkakaibang network na matagumpay na nabigyan ng lugar sa loob ng Internet.

Sa loob ng dekada 1990, matagumpay na nabigyan ng lugar ng Internet ang karamihan sa mga nakaraang umiiral na computer network (nanatiling hiwalay ang ilan sa mga network katulad ng Fidonent). Kadalasang iniuugnay ang paglagong ito sa kakulangan ng sentral na pangangasiwa, na pinahintulot ang pundamental na paglago ng network, gayun din ang paggiging di proprietary ng mga Internet protocol, na pinapalakas ang loob ng mga nagtitinda (vendor) sa paggamit ng ibang sistema at iniiwasan ang isang kompanya na gamitan ang kapangyarihan na kontrolin.

* Mga Karaniwang ginagawa kapag nagcocomputer: a. Social Networking Ayon sa Wikipedia, ang gawa sa mga o maraming tema tulad ng kaugalian, ideya, pagkakaibigan, hilig at sexual na relasyon. Ayon naman kina Boyd at Ellison (2007), ang social networking sites ay serbisyong pampublikong nagrerehistro (ayon sa www. gartner . com) na nakapaloob sa isang system, (2) Makita ang mga profile ng indibidwal na kasama niya sa system. At itinuturing na pangunahing paraan ng komunikasyon sa buong mundo. Halimbawa na lamang dito ay ang mga sumusunod: * Facebook * Twitter * Tumblr

b. Online Gaming

Ang Online gaming ay isang laro na gumagamit ng iba't ibang uri ng computer network. Madalas na ginagamit dito ang Internet o kahit anong pang katumbas na teknolohiya, subalit nagagamit naman ng mga laro ang kahit anong teknolohiya meron: modem bago ang Internet, at hard wired terminal bago ang modem. Ang pagpapalawak ng online gaming ay sumasalamin sa pangkalahatang pagunlad ng mga network na computer mula sa maliit na lokal na network sa Internet hanggang sa paglago sa pagkunekta sa Internet mismo. Ang mga online games ay maaaring sumaklaw mula sa simpleng mga salita lamang hanggang sa mga laro na may kumplikadong grapika at virtual na mundo na maraming mga manlalaro. Maraming mga online games ang may online na komunidad, na nagiging paraan ng pakikisalamuha sa ibang tao na kabligtaran kung solong naglalaro. Halimbawa’y DOTA, Mercenary, Cross Fire, Counterstrike at iba pa.

IV. METODOLOHIYA

Ang kabanatang ito ay tumatalakay sa disenyo at paraan ng pangangalap ng datos sa pananaliksik. Nakapaloob ditto kung anong mga instrumento ang ginamit sa pangangalap ng mga datos, mga paraan ng pagkuha ng datos at mga taga- tugon ng pag- aaral o respondent at paraan ng pagkuha ng impormasyon.

A. Disenyo at Metodo

Sa pag- aaral na ito, ang paraan na ginamit ng mananaliksik ay ang paggawa ng mga survey questionnaire na naglalaman ng tanong tungkol sa kanyang paksa. Dumanaan ito sa pagsusuri ng tagapayo at iwinasto ang pagkakamali, pagkatapos maiwasto ay vinalideyt ang survey questionnaire at ipinamahagi ito upang sagutan.

B. Kasangkapan sa pangangalap ng datos

Sa pag- aaral na ito, gumamit ang mananaliksik ng survey questionnaire upang malaman ang mga salitag ginagamit ng mga mag- aaral sa paggamit ng internet. Ang survey questionnaire na ginamit sa ay hinati sa dalawang bahagi, ang una ay kinapapalooban ng mga personal na impormasyon ng mga tagatugon o respondente katulad ng pangalan, edad, kasarian, tirahan, estado sa buhay at mga kadalasang ginagawa kapag sumasangguni sa internet. Ang ikalawang bahagi naman ay mga katanungan.

C. Paraan ng pangangalap ng impormasyon

Ang pamamaraan ng pangangalap ng datos at nagsisimula sa paggawa ng survey questionnaire, sinundan ng pag- edit sa instrument para maiwasto ang kaayusan ng mga tanong at ang kaangkupan ng mga sagot ng tagatugon ng mga tanong sa mga problemang nais lutasin ng mananaliksik. Ang paghingi ng pahintulot sa bawat kalahok ang mga sumusunod: personal na pamamahalaan ng mananaliksik ang pagbibigay ng mga katanungan sa bahawat kalahok at binigay ang tamang panuto at pagsagot upang makuha ang nararapat na tugon. Kinalap ang mga instrument at inihambing ang mga kasagutan ng bawat isa at binigyang kabuuan.

D. Respondente

Ang naturang sarbey ay ipinamahagi sa 7 tagatugon na kinabibilangan ng mga sumusunod na pamantayan:

1. Isang mag-aaral na sumasangguni madalas sa internet. 2. Kasalukuyang nasa hayskul o kolehiyo

V. Diskusyon at Presentasyon ng mga Datos

Grap1. Ipinapakita nito na ang epekto ng mga salitang galling sa internet sa pang araw- araw na pamumuhay ng mga mag- aaral ay ginagamit na sa pangkaraniwang usapan.

Batay sa pitong taong nakapanayan ng mananaliksik, apat ang sumagot na ginagamit na sa pangkaraniwang usapan ang mga salitang ginagamit ng mga mag- aaral sa paggamit ng internet, dalawa ang nagsabing natututo ang mga mag- aaral ng mga masama at magandang mga salita. At ang isa ay nagsasabing nalilimutan ng mga mag- aaral ang tamang spelling ng mga salita.

Grap 2. Ipinakikita dito na naging mabisa sa mga pag-uusap mga salitang mula sa internet sa loob man o labas nito.

Ayon sa sarbey na ginawa ng mananaliksik, anim ang nagsabing naging mabisa sa mga pag-uusap ang mga salitang galling sa internet sa loob man o labas nito sapagkat naririnig nila ito sa mga karaniwang pag- uusap at naririnig din nila ito sa kanilang mga kausap. May isa naman na hindi sumang ayon sa at sinabing hindi ito mabisa.

Listahan ng mga salitang ginagamit ng mga mag- aaral mula sa internet: * * Wtf * Gg ser * Rak * Dayum * Smh * Srsly * Bae * Fab * Meh * Ew * Geez * Awh * Lmao * Lol * Tbh * Stfu * Wyd * Yea * Lmao * Nigga * Ilysfm * Xoxo * 143 * Imba * Kewl * Swaggy * fag

nakikita sa listahan na ang mga salitang natututunan ng mga mag- aaral mula sa internet ay pawing mga ekpresyon, mga salitang pinaikli at ang iba ay bigla na lamang lumitaw dala ng modernong panahon.

Adbentahe | Disadbehtahe | Nagagamit sa personal at pang araw-araw na pamumuhay | Ang mga salitang natututinan ay jejemon, balbal at iba’t ibang magkahalo nang salita. | Nagagamit sa personal at pang araw-araw na pamumuhay | Minsa’y nawawala sa lugar ang paggamit | Updated ka kung ano ang mga nangyayari sa paligid na ginagalawan | Nakakalimutan ang mga salitang dapat na ginagamit | Hindi masdayong nahihirapan na sabihin ito may malalim na kahulugan man o wala. | Nakakalimutan ang mga salitang dapat na ginagamit | Depende kung paano gagamitin | Depende kung paano gagamitin | May mga bagong kaalaman | Kung ano anong salita ang natututunan na hindi alam ang tiyak na ibig sabihin. | Aktibo sa pag- alam ng mga salita | Nakakalimutan ang mga salitang dapat na ginagamit |

Ipinapakita ng mananaliksik sa table ang adbentahe at disadbentahe mula sa paggmit ng mga salitang ito.

Sa mga adbentahe, may dalawang nagsabi na nagagamit ito sa pang araw araw na pamumuhay, maaring sa pangkaraniwng usapan. May tatlong halos hindi nagkakakaiba ng sagot na kung saan sinasabing aktibo, updated at may mga bagong kaalaman na makukuha sa mga salitang ito at may hindi nahihirapan na sabihin ang mga salita , at mayroong dumepende sa gamit ng mga salita.

Sa disadbentahe, makikita na may tatlo na nagsabi nakakalimutan ang mga salitang dapat na ginagamit, may isang nagsasabi na ang disadbentahe nito ay ang pagkatuto ng mga halu- halong salita. May nagsabing nawawala na sa lugar ang paggamit ng mga salita, may isang nagsabi na kung ano anong salita ang natututunan na hindi tiyak ang ibig sabihin at ang isa ay dumepende sa gamit ng mga salita.

VI. Pagsusuri Sa pitong respondente na kinapanayam ng mga mananaliksik, 4 sa 7 ang nagsabi na ang epekto ng paggmit ng mga salitang mula sa internet ay ang paggamit nito sa pangkaraniwang pag- uusap. 6 sa pito ang nagsabi na mabisa ang paggamit ng mga salitang mula sa internet sa loob man at labas nito. Humigit kumulang tatlumpu ang mga salitang nakalap ng mananaliksik mula sa mga nagsagot ng survey questionnaire. Nakapaglahad ng mga adbentahe at disadbehtahe ang mga kinapanayam at napaghambing at binuo ng mananaliksik.

VII. Konklusyon

Sa pagwawakas ng pananaliksik tungkol sa “Mga Salitang ginagamit ng mga Mag- aaral sa Paggamit ng Internet” ay nais ng mananaliksik na ilahad muli ang pag- aaral mula sa mga nakalap na datos. Ang pag- aaral na isinagawa ay paraan ng pagkuha ng mga pananaw ng mga mag- aaral na madalas sumasangguni sa internet. Pagkatapos ipalakat ang survey questionnaire ay pinag- aralan ito at sinuring mabuti. Inenterpreta ito at gumawa ng bahagdan upang mapadali ang interpretasyon ng mga datos. At sa pag- aaral, nalutas ang mga nakahayag na suliranin at nalaman an gang bawat isa na sumasangguni sa internet ay sa social networking at online gaming lamang tumutungo. Sa kabuuan, ang Mga Salitang ginagamit ng mga Mag- aaral sa Paggamit ng Internet” ay napakaepektibo sa panahon ngayon sa mga mag- aaral na lalo, nagkakaroon sila ng pagkamulat sa makabagong mundo sa internet.

VIII. Rekomendayson

Iminumungkahi ng mananaliksik na na higit sa mapaghusay pa ang kanilang pag- aaral ng mga makabagong wika na ginagamit,matututuhan o masasalubong pa lamang ay marapat lamang na alamin ang pinagmulan at kahulugan ng mga salita.

...The Research Process Writers usually treat the research task as a sequential process involving several clearly defined steps. No one claims that research requires completion of each step before going to the next. Recycling, circumventing, and skipping occur. Some steps are begun out of sequence, some are carried out simultaneously, and some may be omitted. Despite these variations, the idea of a sequence is useful for developing a project and for keeping the project orderly as it unfolds. Exhibit 3–1 models the sequence of the research process. We refer to it often as we discuss each step in subsequent chapters. Our discussion of the questions that guide project planning and data gathering is incorporated into the model (see the elements within the pyramid in Exhibit 3–1 and compare them with Exhibit 3–2). Exhibit 3–1 also organizes this chapter and introduces the remainder of the book. The research process begins much as the vignette suggests. A management dilemma triggers the need for a decision. For MindWriter, a growing number of complaints about postpurchase service started the process. In other situations, a controversy arises, a major commitment of resources is called for, or conditions in the environment signal the need for a decision. For MindWriter, the critical event could have been the introduction by a competitor of new technology that would revolutionize the processing speed of laptops. Such events cause managers to reconsider their purposes or...

...Myresearch About 30 million other animals. Animal experimentation by scientists can be cruel and unjust, but at the same time it can provide long term benefits for humanity. Animals used in research and experiments have been going on for 2,000 years and keep is going strong. It is a widely debated about topic all over the world. Some say it is inhuman while others say it's for the good of human kind. There are many different reasons why people perform experiments and why others total disagree with it. Each year 20 million animals are produce and breed for the only purpose but to be tested on. Fifty-three thousands of animals are used each year in medical and veterinary schools. The rest is used in basic research. The demand for animals in the United States is 50 million mice, 20 million rats, and aThis includes 200,000 cats and 450,000 dogs. The world uses about 200-250 million animals per year. The problem with working with animals is that they cannot communicate their feelings and reactions. Other people say that they can communicate and react to humans just a well as one person to another. Some of the animals the research's use are not domesticated which makes them extremely hard to control and handle. The experiments that go on behind closed doors are some of the most horrific things a human could think of too torture somebody or something. Animals in labs are literally used as models and are poked at and cut open like nothing is happening. When drug are tested on animals...

...Research Research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict and control the observed phenomenon. Research involves inductive and deductive methods (Babbie, 1998). Inductive methods analyze the observed phenomenon and identify the general principles, structures, or processes underlying the phenomenon observed; deductive methods verify the hypothesized principles through observations. The purposes are different: one is to develop explanations, and the other is to test the validity of the explanations. One thing that we have to pay attention to research is that the heart of the research is not on statistics, but the thinking behind the research. How we really want to find out, how we build arguments about ideas and concepts, and what evidence that we can support to persuade people to accept our arguments. Gall, Borg and Gall (1996) proposed four types of knowledge that research contributed to education as follows: 1. Description: Results of research can describe natural or social phenomenon, such as its form, structure, activity, change over time, relationship to other phenomena. The descriptive function of research relies on instrumentation for measurement and observations. The descriptive research results in our understanding of what happened. It sometimes produces statistical information about aspects of education. 2. Prediction: Prediction research is intended to predict a phenomenon that will occur at time Y from information at an earlier time X. In educational...

If the information is already available, decisions must be made now, we cant afford research and costs outweigh the value of the research, then the research is not needed. Step 2 define the problem or topic State your topic as a question. This is the most important step. Identify the main concepts or keywords in your question. Problem maybe either specific or general. Step 3 establish research objective Research objectives, when achieved, provide the Information necessary to solve the problem identified in Step 2. Research objectives state what the researchers must do. Crystallize the research problems and translate them into research objective. At this point, we will pin down the research question. Step 4 determine research design The research design is a plan or framework for conducting the study and collecting data. It is defined as the specific methods and procedures you use to acquire the information you need. based on the research objectives, we will determine the most appropriate research design: qualitative and/ or quantitative. • Exploratory Research: collecting information in an unstructured and informal manner. • Descriptive Research refers to a set of methods and procedures describing marketing variables. • Causal Research (experiments): allows isolation of causes and...

...Research Article Research is important to every business because of the information it provides. There is a basic process to researching information and that process begins by deciding what information needs to be researched. The next step is to develop a hypothesis, which describes what the research paper is about and what the researcher’s opinion is regarding the topic. The research article chosen for this paper is titled, “The Anchor Contraction Effect in International Marketing Research.” The hypothesis for this paper is, “This raises the issue of whether providing responses on rating scales in a person’s native versus second language exerts a systematic influence on the responses obtained.” Simply explained, the hypothesis of this paper is to determine whether research questions should be in a person’s native language rather than expecting them to respond to questions in a language in which they might not be fluent. The hypothesis of this paper was accepted based on the research data gathered by the research team. This hypothesis was supported by nine studies using a variety of research methods. The research methods provided data that demonstrated the level of inaccuracy based on questions being asked in a language that was not the respondent’s native language. The research data provided insight into the probability of more accurate results when the respondent was asked questions in a manner that related well with their culture. There are several implications...

There is no point in us trying to re-invent the wheel - other and probably more capable people than us have wrestled with this problem before us, and it makes good sense and is good practice to learn what they have discovered.  In other words - we need to explore more reliable and effective methods and systems for the pursuit of research than we have been doing so far. What is research? Dictionary Definitions of Research: * "The act of searching closely or carefully for or after a specified thing or person" * "An investigation directed to discovery of some fact by careful study of a subject" * "A course of scientific enquiry" (where scientific = "producing demonstrative knowledge") Howard and Sharp (HS) define research as:  "seeking through methodical processes to add to bodies of knowledge by the discovery or elucidation of non-trivial facts, insights and improved understanding of situations, processes and mechanisms".  [Howard, K. and Sharp, J.A. The Management of a student research project, Gower, 1983 - a useful and practical “how to do it” guide] Two other, more recent guides are: Denscombe, Martyn, 2002, Ground rules for good research: a 10 point guide for social research,  Open University Press.

...solve analytic models or whatever, but they often fail to demonstrate that they have thoroughly thought about their papers—in other words, when you push them about the implicit and explicit assumptions and implications of their research models, it appears that they haven’t really given these matters much thought at all.[1] Too often they fall back on saying that they are doing what they are doing because that is the way it is done in the prior literature, which is more of an excuse than a answer. (Of course, once a researcher reaches a certain age, they all feel that youngsters aren’t as good as they were in the good old days!) Therefore, in this class we shall go beyond simply studying research in managerial accounting. For many of you, this is your first introduction to accounting research and to PhD level class. Hence, in these classes we shall also learn how to solve business problems systematically and to understand what it means to have thoroughly “thought through” a paper. We begin not with academic research, but with some real world cases, because we should never forget that ours is an applied research field: accounting research is a means towards the end of understanding business and is not an end in itself, in the way pure science research is.

...manger know about research when the job entails managing people, products, events, environments, and the like? Answer: Research simply means a search for facts – answers to questions and solutions to problems. It is a purposive investigation. It is an organized inquiry. It seeks to find explanations to unexplained phenomenon to clarify the doubtful facts and to correct the misconceived facts. Research is the organized and systematic inquiry or investigation which provides information for solving a problem or finding answers to a complex issue. Research in business: Often, organization members want to know everything about their products, services, programs, etc. Your research plans depend on what information you need to collect in order to make major decisions about a product, service, program, etc. Research provides the needed information that guides managers to make informed decisions to successfully deal with problems. The more focused you are about your resources, products, events and environments what you want to gain by your research, the more effective and efficient you can be in your research, the shorter the time it will take you and ultimately the less it will cost you. Manager’s role in research programs of a company: Managing people is only a fraction of a manager's responsibility - they have to manage the operations of the department, and often have responsibilities towards the profitability of the organization.

...goal of the research process is to produce new knowledge or deepen understanding of a topic or issue. This process takes three main forms (although, as previously discussed, the boundaries between them may be obscure): * Exploratory research, which helps identify and define a problem or question. * Constructive research, which tests theories and proposes solutions to a problem or question. * Empirical research, which tests the feasibility of a solution using empirical evidence. There are two ways to conduct research: Primary research Using primary sources, i.e., original documents and data. Secondary research Using secondary sources, i.e., a synthesis of, interpretation of, or discussions about primary sources. There are two major research designs: qualitative research and quantitative research. Researchers choose one of these two tracks according to the nature of the research problem they want to observe and the research questions they aim to answer: Qualitative research Understanding of human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior. Asking a broad question and collecting word-type data that is analyzed searching for themes. This type of research looks to describe a population without attempting to quantifiably measure variables or look to potential relationships between variables. It is viewed as more restrictive in testing hypotheses because it can be expensive and time consuming, and typically limited to a single set of research subjects. Qualitative...
