Q

Your own understanding of large sample size

A

The primary characteristic of quantitative research is that it uses a large sample size to conduct research; hence, the results are based on a large sample size that is representative of the population

Q

Your own understanding of structured research methods

A

All aspects of quantitative research are carefully

planned and designed before they are implemented. It uses structured methods such as surveys, observations, and experimentations.

Q

Your own understanding of Highly Reliable Outcome l

A
  • The use of research instruments that gather specific and measurable responses from the sample or population makes quantitative research quite reliable. There is a small chance of obtaining vague information.

Q

Your own understanding of close ended questions

A

Quantitative Research has clearly defined research questions to which OBJECTIVE answers are sought. Data gathering instruments, therefore, contain close ended questions.

Q

Your own understanding of prior study

A

Many researchers that employ quantitative research methods review and analyze the outcomes or results of previous related studies to provide a strong framework or support for their research problem

Q

Enumerate strengths of Quantitative research (3) -based on your own understanding

A
  1. Quantitative research can involve a great number of respondents, hence enhancing the generalizability of the results of the study to the population under consideration.
  2. Quantitative research is more objective, accurate, valid, and reliable. The variables under study are measured using appropriate statistical procedures.
  3. Personal biases can be eliminated by applying appropriate numerical, computational, and statistical procedures.

Q

Enumerate weaknesses of Quantitative research (3) - in your own words

A
  1. The procedures for gathering data are fixed and inflexible.
  2. The development of research questions for the data gathering instrument is prone to

structural bias and false representations. The framing of the question depends on the intention of the researcher and not based on the perception of the target respondents.

  1. Results of quantitative research provide limited information on humanly aspects such as behavior, attitudes, and motivation.

Q

Quantitative Research is used by social scientists to uncover facts and understanding about various social events and human interactions, preferences of a group of people, opinions of the public about particular issues or acceptability of a certain idea.

A

Social Sciences

17
Q

Quantitative research, specifically experimental research, is used to determine proper and appropriate treatment for diseases.

A

Medicine

18
Q

It helps in understanding how people think, feel, and act in certain ways

A

Psychology

19
Q

Name the Variables in Quantitative Research (2)

A

Independent, and dependant variable

20
Q

is either a result of some force or is itself the force that causes a change in
another variable. In experiments, these are called dependent and independent variables respectively.

is either a result of some force or is itself the force that causes a change in another variable

A

Variables

21
Q

The independent variable is the cause. Its value is independent of other variables in your study.

A

Independent Variables

22
Q

The dependent variable is the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.

A

Dependant Variables

23
Q

Enumerate the Scales of Measurement of Variables (4)

A

Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio

24
Q

doesn’t involve a quantitative value or order

A

Nominal

25
Q

depict the order of variables and not the difference

A

Ordinal

26
Q

where there is order and the difference between two

values is meaningful.

A

Interval

27
Q

has all the properties of an interval variable, and also has a clear definition of 0.0.

A

Ratio

28
Q

HE stated that systematic research starts from the recognition of difficulty, an

obstacle, or a problem that puzzles the researcher (Ary et al., 2014). Generally, the initial step in any research process is the selection of a problem that is worthy of investigation.

A

John Dewey

29
Q

Show your understanding in selecting a research topic

A

• It should be something new or different from what has already been written about.

• It should be significant to the field of study or discipline.

• It must necessarily arouse intellectual curiosity.

• It should be of the researcher’s interest and the researcher must be with the topic.

• It should be a modest one for a beginner to be carried on within a limited period of time.

• It should be clear, not ambiguous.

• It should be specific, not general.

• It should consider the availability of data involved in the study and the methods and

techniques to be employed in gathering them.

• It should consider the availability of effective instruments for gathering the data and their treatment.

• It should consider the financial capacity of the researcher to support the project.

• It should consider the time factor involved in the undertaking.

  1. Select the Problem
  2. Review the Literature
  3. Design the Study
  4. Collect the Data
  5. Analyze the Data
  6. Interpret the Data
  7. Report the Findings
31
Q

It is the first thing that a reader reads in a research study or article

A

Title of the Research

32
Q

Four Parameters in Formulating a Research Title

A
  1. The purpose of the research
  2. The scope of the research
  3. The method used to study the problem
  4. The type or design of the research study
33
Q

Included Parts of Chapter 1 (2)

A

Writing the Problem Statement, Specific Problem Statements

34
Q

-will take your research problem statement a step higher by offering a clear and concise statement, indicating what possible results your research study canfind in relation to the relationships of the variables involved.

  • It is a tentative statement and is subject to verification through a scientific investigation.
A

Research Hypothesis

35
Q

Two Types of Research Hypothesis

A
  1. Null Hypothesis
  2. Alternative Hypothesis
36
Q

there is no significant relationship between the variables

A

Null Hypothesis

37
Q

there is a significant relationship between the variables

A

Alternative Hypothesis
