    This document provides an overview of key concepts related to variables and hypotheses in research. It begins by defining variables as measurable characteristics that can take on different values, while constants do not vary. The main types of variables discussed are independent and dependent variables. It then defines a hypothesis as a proposed relationship between two variables that can be tested with data. Specifying research hypotheses is important for planning scientific studies. The document outlines learning outcomes and provides links to additional learning materials on variables and hypotheses.

    Research 1 Module 5

    Variables and Hypothesis

    5
    This topic is designed to develop the knowledge, skills, and desirable attitudes of an
    individual in the field of Research where the student is expected of the following:

    LEARNING OUTCOMES:

    At the end of the module the student should have:


     demonstrated content knowledge and its application within and/or
    across curriculum teaching areas in the field of research particularly
    by identifying the types of variables and hypothesis.

    ******************************************************************************

    Variables are measurable characteristics or properties of people or things that can take on
    different values. In contrast, characteristics that do not vary are constants. One needs to know
    which types of variables you are working with in order to choose appropriate statistical tests and
    interpret the results of your study.
    In addition, a hypothesis states a presumed relationship between two variables in a way
    that can be tested with empirical data. A research hypothesis is a specific, clear, and testable
    proposition or predictive statement about the possible outcome of a scientific research study
    based on a particular property of a population, such as presumed differences between groups on a
    particular variable or relationships between variables. Specifying the research hypotheses is one
    of the most important steps in planning a scientific quantitative research study.
    This lesson presents the varied types of variable and hypothesis as well as the importance
    of these two concepts in research.
