1. 0:00Hello and welcome again!
2. 0:02In this episode, we will talk about number 2
3. 0:05Of hallmarks or characteristics which is called Rigor
4. 0:12Rigor which comes after purposiveness
5. 0:15In the Arabic translation, it means sharp, specific, or strict..
6. 0:24Anyway, how can we do it?
7. 0:26Let’s stop on only one sentence that will specify it and facilitate it
8. 0:41Here is purposive, this purposive
9. 0:45On which we agreed that we should have defined variables
10. 0:48So it can be attached and linked to the appropriate phenomenon
11. 0:52Rigor means sharp, precise, accurate
12. 0:55Great these are English synonyms
13. 1:00What am I going to do in the scientific research to be this way?
14. 1:04It says almost two things
15. 1:06You should have a good theoretical base
16. 1:08Let’s think, this reminds you of what?
17. 1:12Of the deductive approach
18. 1:14Think a little bit and remember the deductive approach
19. 1:16That was 6 steps and that produced applied research
20. 1:20And let’s think about the second one
21. 1:23A sound methodological design
22. 1:25Will add rigor to the purposive study
23. 1:30Alright, what does a good theoretical base mean?
24. 1:33This theoretical means what?
25. 1:34It means theorizing, you get from theories
26. 1:39Do you remember the language of science?
27. 1:41We had a theory, less than that we had model, then concept, construct then variables
28. 1:50These were in the language of science
29. 1:52In the language of science episode
30. 1:54From where do we get these things? From science
31. 1:58So when should I use science in our steps?
32. 2:02Does anyone remember the steps?
33. 2:05Here they are! This is rigor
34. 2:08(I will move far from rigor)
35. 2:10Here are the deductive approach steps
36. 2:13We had something called what?
37. 2:15Here, we are talking about the theoretical base
38. 2:18I have something called the theoretical base, plus a sound methodological design
39. 2:23That means you have an acceptable methodological design
40. 2:25Acceptable methodological or methodologically acceptable
41. 2:29Great. And I have a theory or a theoretical base from science
42. 2:34When were we getting the theoretical base from science?
43. 2:37We got it in the literature review part
44. 2:41What was after that? Methodological design
45. 2:45This methodological design
46. 2:46What is it in the deductive approach?
47. 2:48It means I get or produce a research design
48. 2:52Alright, when I get this theoretical base from the literature review
49. 2:56What will it be?
50. 2:57As if we think of the language of research of research
51. 3:00I can go to literature review, get a variable or variables
52. 3:05I get constructs, concept or choose one of the concepts
53. 3:09I will have more than one model, I choose one
54. 3:14Or I choose one theory or more and see if I can use it alone
55. 3:18Or combine them and add my own variables
56. 3:21What was the next step? To do the research design
57. 3:25We still don’t know the research design components or what is inside
58. 3:28But it warns me that in rigor, I should have a theoretical base
59. 3:32Which is I go get from the science components, what benefits and supports my problem
60. 3:38Where is my problem? Here is it, the problem definition
61. 3:41Which is step number 1 in the deductive approach
62. 3:44Let’s revise the deductive approach
63. 3:46Problem definition, literature review, I combine the two
64. 3:50I mean I define a topic, a problem and a context
65. 3:53And especially focus on what I am going to study
66. 3:56And get from science what supports and suits it
67. 3:59I retrieve science, read it, see it and review it
68. 4:01And chose which one I will use
69. 4:03And combine my choice with the studied problem
70. 4:08In a scientific methodological design
71. 4:13To be allowed to do these next steps
72. 4:15We combined the two, now I am allowed to collect data, D for Data collection
73. 4:22A Analysis and then the conclusion or final conclusion
74. 4:26So this way, Rigor is these 2 steps, theoretical base plus methodological design
75. 4:34These two together form the word Rigor
76. 4:37What are these two about?
77. 4:38This theoretical base is the step or the concept we achieve
78. 4:42In a literature review and the deductive approach
79. 4:47And this methodological design is the concept or the step
80. 4:50We are supposed to achieve in research design in the deductive approach
81. 4:57Here is the deductive approach
82. 4:59It products what?
83. 5:00It produces applied research
84. 5:03So when we say consider the concept called Rigor,
85. 5:09As if we say you should consider the theoretical base existence, the scientific support from science
86. 5:13An appropriate scientific reference
87. 5:15And have a correct scientific methodology to use in the data collection and the science verification
88. 5:22These two steps intersect and equal to what?
89. 5:25To literature review and research design
90. 5:27As if Rigor is literature review plus research design
91. 5:32If you go back to the first’s episode question, that was about hallmarks end characteristics, what does it mean?
92. 5:40Is Rigor characteristic now? Or hallmark?
93. 5:43Characteristic means it’s mandatory, essential
94. 5:47Hallmark means it’s not essential, the researcher has the choice to do it or not
95. 5:51Does the researcher, here, have the luxury to dispense with Rigor?
96. 5:55Which means to dispense with the theoretical base and methodological design
97. 5:59Therefore dispenses with literature review and research design
98. 6:04We have here problem definition and data analysis, conclusion
99. 6:09It is research but not a scientific one
100. 6:11I mean, I defined a problem without using science and collected data straight after
101. 6:17you didn’t go back to science nor built or developed a scientific methodology
102. 6:21To check this
103. 6:23So pay attention that it is true that Rigor is a methodological base, a scientific reference
104. 6:28And a methodological design, a methodology to collect data and check it,
105. 6:32But it is linked in the first place to literature and research design
106. 6:35Or means literature and research design
107. 6:39Think with me, and we will meet in the last episode about hallmarks and characteristics
108. 6:45To see what you think
109. 6:47Is Rigor a hallmark or characteristic?
110. 6:50Thank you so much and see you in the next episode.
