1st Quarterly Examination in Practical Research 2

School Year: 2019 – 2020

Examination No:____________________ Date:_________________

Grade &Section: 12 – PROG 1 Teacher: Johnidel Garin Bonquil

Test I. Direction: Identify what is being asked in each number. Write your answer after the
statement.

1. It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased results that
can be generalized to some larger population and explain a particular observation.
_______________________

2.It suggests that the data concerned can be analyzed in terms of numbers. _______________

3.This kind of research derives conclusion from observations and manifestations that already
occurred in the past and now compared to some dependent variables. ___________________

4.In this design, the researcher can collect more data, either by scheduling more observations
or finding more existing measures. ________________________

5.It refers to the overall strategy that you choose in order to integrate the different components
of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby ensuring you will effectively address the
research problem. __________________________

6. Non experimental research also called as _______________________.

7. It refers to the characteristics that have two or more mutually exclusive values or properties.
________________________

8. Kind of variable that probably cause, influence, or effect outcomes. They are variably called
treatment, manipulated, antecedent or predictor variables. ________________________

9. Variables that depend on independent variables; they are the outcomes or results of the
influence of the independent variable. _______________________

10.it is a research design to determine what has happened during a given activity or in an
institution. The purpose is to see if a given program is working.__________________________

Test II. Direction:. Choose the correct letter that best describe the question or complete the
statement. Write your answer before the number.

11.Which of the following BEST defines quantitative research?

a. It is an exploration associated with libraries, books and journals.

b. It is an activity concerned with finding new truth in education.
c. It is a systematic process obtaining numerical information about the world.
d. It is an activity of producing or proving a theorem.

12.Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quantitative research?

a. Data are gathered before proposing a conclusion or solution to a problem.

b. Quantitative methods can be repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus
strengthen and reinforcing validity of findings eliminating the possibility of spurious
conclusions.
 c. Figures, tables or graphs showcase summarized data collection in order to show trends,
relationships or differences among variables. In sum, the charts and tables allow you to
see the evidence collected.
d. It seeks to gather a more comprehensive understanding of activities related to human
behavior and the attributes that rule such behavior.

13.Which of the following describes the characteristics of research where data are in form of
statistics?

a. Objective c. Replication
b. b. Numerical Data d. Large Sample Size

14.This characteristic of quantitative research which refers to its necessity to arrive at a more
reliable data analysis.

a. Large Sample Sizes c. Replication

b. Numerical Data d. Objective
15.It is done to check the correctness and verify the findings of the study.

a. Large Sample Size c. Replication

b. Numerical Data d. Objective
16.The researchers know in advance what they are looking for. The research questions are
well-defined for which objective answers are sought. All aspects of the study are carefully
designed before data are gathered.

a. Future Outcomes c. Structured Research Instruments

b. Clearly defined Research Questions d. Numerical Data
17.Which research design seeks to describe “what is”?

a. Correlational c. Descriptive
b. Experimental d. Evaluation
18.In this type of research, the investigator tries to probe the significance of relationship
between two or more factors or characteristics

a. Correlational c. Experimental
b. Ex-post facto d. Survey
19.Which of the item below does NOT hold true for descriptive research?

a. describes the nature of a situation or an event

b. presents the profile of persons, events, and things
c. describes past situations
d. there is no manipulation of variables or search for cause and effect related to the
performance

20.Which of the following illustrates a quantitative study?

a. attributes to malnutrition in children

b. public opinion to the sex scandal of the Pres. in our country
c. academic performance of high school students
d. all of the above choices

Test III. Direction: Determine if the description given below is a strength or weakness of a
quantitative research. Write your answer on the blank provided for.

21.The most reliable and valid way of concluding results, giving way to a new hypothesis or to
disproving it. ___________________________
22.Since, there are more respondents compared to qualitative research, the expenses will be
greater in reaching out to these people and in reproducing questionnaires.
_______________________

23.If not done seriously and correctly, data from questionnaires may be incomplete and
inaccurate. ____________________________

24.Standardized approaches allow the study to be replicated in different areas or over time with
formulation of comparable findings. _______________________________

25.Quantitative experiments are useful for testing the results gained by a series of qualitative
experiments, leading to a final answer, and narrowing down of possible directions to follow.
_______________________________

26.It is assumed that the larger the sample is, the more statistically accurate the findings are.
________________________

27.Researchers must be on the look-out on respondents who are just guessing in answering the
instrument. ______________________________

28.It does not consider the distinct capacity of the respondents to share and elaborate further
information unlike the qualitative research. __________________________

29.It is real and unbiased. _____________________

30.It is costly. ______________________

Test V. Direction: Essay. Briefly explain what is asked below.(10 points)

Criteria:

Content- 5 pts.
