Data in experimental research must be able to be ___________

• quantified

• reevaluated

A research design is a blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data, based on _____ of the study

• the purpose

• the research questions

• the introduction

Descriptive research's objective is to _____.

• describe

• explore

• test

1. Quantitative research is a means

• For exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem.

• For testing objectives theories by examining the relationship among variables. These variables, in turn, can be measured, typically on instruments, so that numbered data can be analysed using statistical procedures.

• Is an approach to inquiry that combines or associate both qualitative and quantitative forms.

The research problem

• Is related to a concept or phenomenon needs to be understood because little research has been done on it.

• Involve the forms of data collection, analysis and interpretation that researcher propose for their studies.

• Is a strategy of inquiry in which the researcher derives a general, abstract theory of a process, action, or interaction grounded in the views of participants.

The purpose of literature review

• To provide measures or observations for testing a theory.

• To generalize from a sample to a population so that inferences can be made about some characteristic, attitude, or behaviour of this population.

• Helps to determine whether the topic is worth studying, and it provides insight into ways in which the researcher can limit the scope to a needed area of inquiry.

Survey design is :

• To test the impact of a treatment (or an intervention) on an outcome, controlling for all other factors that might influence that come.

• Provides a quantitative or numeric description of trends, attitudes, or opinions of a population by studying a sample of that population.

• Investigators identify a sample and generalize to a population.

The qualitative data collection involves audio-visual materials such as examine photographs or videotapes.

• True

• False

Qualitative data collection not involving observations that gather field notes by conducting an observation as a participant

• True

• False
