22
Q

is a technique which enables the researcher to participate actively in the conduct of research

A

Observation

23
Q

is the most direct way and the most widely used in studying behavior.

A

Observation

24
Q

is defined as a specific type of measuring instrument whose general characteristic is that, it forces responses from a pupil and the responses are considered to be indicative of the pupil’s skill, knowledge, attitudes, etc.

A

A test

25
Q

This technique involves collection of physical data from the subjects. It is considered more accurate and objective than other data collection methods.

A

Mechanical Devices

26
Q

may be defined as measuring a small portion of something and then making a general statement about the whole thing. (Bradfield and Moredock, p.38)

A

SAMPLING

27
Q

is that unit about which information is collected and which provides the basis of analysis. They are the members of the population.

A

An element

28
Q

is the theoretically specific aggregation of the elements. This is also called universe.

A

A population

29
Q

is that aggregation of elements from which the sample is actually selected.

A

A study population

30
Q

These are the elements (people) who are actually selected to participate or to be the subject in the study.

A

SAMPLE.

31
Q

is a set of exclusive attributes.

A

A variable

32
Q

is the summary description of a given variable in a population.

A

A parameter

33
Q

is the summary description of a given variable in a sample.

A

A statistics

34
Q

is the degree of error of a sample statistics when compared with the population parameter.

A

Sampling error

35
Q

is the degree of confidence that a sample will accurately fall within a certain or specified interval from the population parameter.

A

Confidence level

36
Q

the sample is a proportion (a certain percent) of the population by means of some systematic way in which every element of the population has a chance of being included in the sample.

A

In probability sampling,

37
Q

the sample is not a proportion of the population and there is no system in selecting the sample.

A

n non-probability sampling

38
Q

In this type of sampling, there is no system of selection but only those whom the researcher or interviewer meet by chance are included in the sample.

A

Accidental sampling.

39
Q

In this type of sampling, specified numbers of persons of certain types are included in the sample.

A

Quota sampling.

40
Q

is a process of picking out people in the most convenient and fastest way to get their reactions to a certain hot and controversial issue.

A

Convenience sampling

41
Q

is determining the target population, those to be involved in the study. The respondents are chosen on the basis of their knowledge of the information desired.

A

Purposive sampling

42
Q

This type of sampling is one in which every one in the population of the inquiry has an equal chance of being selected to be included in the sample. This is also called the lottery or raffle type of sampling.

A

Pure RAndom Sampling

43
Q

This is a technique of sampling in which every nth name in a list may be selected to be included in a sample.

A

Systematic random sampling.

44
Q

is the process of selecting randomly, samples from the different strata of the population used in the study.

A

Stratified random sampling

45
Q

It is used when the population is so big or the geographical area of the research is so large. The general procedure is to divide the area or population into clusters or blocks and then within the final cluster apply any of the different methods of selecting the sample.

A

Cluster sampling (Multistage cluster sampling

46
Q

When the population is more or less homogenous and only the typical, normal, or average is desired to be known, a _______________ is enough.

A

smaller sample

47
Q

However, if differences are desired to be known, a ___________ is needed.

A

larger sample

48
Q

When the population is more or less heterogenous and only the typical, normal, or average is desired to be known, a ______________ is needed.

A

larger sample

49
Q

However, if differences are desired to be known, a ———– is enough.

A

smaller sample

50
Q

Research Design – method of research used (e.g. descriptive, correlational, experimental). The procedural part of the method, its appropriateness to the study, and some of its advantages should be given attention and should be well discussed.

Q

The method of gathering data and the development of the instrument for gathering data must also be explained.

What the researcher has to do here is to write about the complete procedure he used in determining the sample.

A

Sampling Design –

53
Q

The statistical tools researcher used to analyze the data. The researcher must have at least a rudimentary knowledge of statistics so that he will be able to select and apply the appropriate statistical methods for his data.
