lesson 2

Question 1

The first and foremost step in the research is selecting and properly defining a research
problem.

Answer 1

Research topic

Question 2

basic step in designing research topic

Answer 2

(1) choose a broad topic,
(2) do preliminary research,
(3) define the problem
(4) refine the question.

Question 3

serves as the groundwork for any succeeding actions, it must
be defined appropriately at the beginning of the research work.

Answer 3

research topic

Question 4

Choose a broad topic. The first step is quite simple. As a Senior High School student,
these tips will surely guide you in selecting a broad topic for quantitative research:

Answer 4

Choose a broad topic.

Question 5

your research topic must be something that you are passionate
about.

Answer 5

choose an interesting topic

Question 6

A topic that is worth researching must be able to answer or solve problems in the
community. No one will take an interest in your topic if it is obsolete and does not address any
real problem

Answer 6

select a significant topic

Question 7

One of the goals of this course is for you to be able to produce a quantitative research
study that is aligned to your chosen track

Answer 7

Choose a topic relevant to your field.

Question 8

The second step is much more time-consuming. Once you
have chosen a broad topic, you need to have a better understanding of it by reading some
more articles, journals, and related research studies

Answer 8

Do a preliminary research.

Question 9

After getting enough information, you may be able to list some
questions or problems that you want to research. At this stage, you should be able to
narrow down broad topic into feasible and manageable research questions

Answer 9

Define the problem.

Question 10

A
very narrow research question can be developed by doing a

Answer 10

a comparative study or
expanding the scope of the study

Question 11

This step lets you evaluate the questions formulated

Answer 11

Refine the question.

Question 12

the very first thing a reader comes across when searching for
scientific literature.

Answer 12

A research study title

Question 13

It is a concise description of the content of the research study containing
the fewest possible words, yet adequate to describe the contents of the paper for a simple
reason that we do not want to mislead the readers

Answer 13

research title

Question 14

Use an accurate description of the subject and scope of the study instead of using
general terms.

Answer 14

true

Question 15

Use abbreviations except for commonly known ones like DNA and ICT.

Answer 15

FALSE Do not use abbreviations except for commonly known ones like DNA and ICT.

Question 16

Do not include words like “The study of,” “Analysis of,” “An investigation of” or similar
construction as these would only lengthen the title.

Answer 16

TRUE

Question 17

Include the main dependent and independent variables.

Answer 17

TRUE

Question 18

Be mindful of the proper use of grammar and punctuation. Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs as well as the first letter of
the first and last word

Answer 18

TRUE

Question 19

State in a interogative form, although you may also see titles in question form from time
to time.

Answer 19

FALSE State in a declarative form, although you may also see titles in question form from time
to time.

Question 20

is an under or unexplored area of a topic that requires further
exploration. It can be in a form of other variables, conditions, population, methodology,
or test subject.

Answer 20

RESEARCH GAP

Question 21

an exhaustive literature review regarding the topic
is required.

Answer 21

To identify research gaps

Question 22

Reading
through the—-sections of the articles will help
you know potential areas of study that need further attention.

Answer 22

Discussion, Conclusion, or the Recommendations

Question 23

The former is at the introductory part
of the paper with the purpose of relaying the importance of your research study

Answer 23

Background of the Study

Question 24

the latter is more comprehensive and thoroughly discusses the studies mentioned in the background of research.

Answer 24

Review of related literature

Question 25

is simple as a problem you would like to research

Answer 25

research problem

Question 26

deals more with the precision and specificity of the problem.

Answer 26

Quantitative Research Problem

Question 27

the quantitative research problem describes

Answer 27

trends and patterns of a phenomenon

Question 28

it formally introduces the problem that you want to investigate or address

Answer 28

statement of the problem

Question 29

help clarify and specify the research problem

Answer 29

The research questions

Question 30

They are also considered as sub-problems of your research problem and are informative in nature

Answer 30

research question

Question 31

They specify the method of collecting and analyzing data, and the type of data to be collected when exploring a quantitative research problem.

Answer 31

research question

Question 32

The following are good characteristics of research questions, as described by Fraenkel and Wallen (2020).

Answer 32

feasible clear significant ethical

Question 33

Consider the amount of time, energy, money, respondents, and even your current situation as a student-researcher

Answer 33

Feasible

Question 34

The clarity of how the questions are stated lead to agreement of meaning of the readers of your study

Answer 34

Clear.

Question 35
