Q

What is quantitative research?

A

A type of educational research in which the researchers decides:

  • What to study
  • Specific questions to ask
  • Collects quantifiable data from respondents and analyze these numbers using statistics
  • Conducts the inquiry in an objective and unbiased manner

Q

Identify what type of quantitative research

Q

This type of research will recognize trends and patterns in data, but it does not go so far in its analysis to prove the causes for these observed patterns

Q

Identify what type of quantitative research

An independent variable is identified but not manipulated by the experimenter, and effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable is measured

15
Q

Identify what type of quantitative research

Research attempts to establish cause-effect relationships among the variables. These type of research design are very similar to true experiments but with some key differences

16
Q

What are the key differences between Quasi-experimental and Experimental research?

A

The sampling technique used and the manipulation of the independent variable(Quasi-experimental does not while true experimental does)

17
Q

Often called the true experimentation, uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables that make up a study

A

Experimental research

18
Q

Identify what type of quantitative research

Is any study where an effort is made to identify and impose control over all other variables.

A

Experimental research

19
Q

Subjects are randomly assigned to experimental treatments rather than identified in naturally occuring group

A

Experimental research

20
Q

Identify what type of quantitative research

A description of the extent to which elementary teachers use math manipulatives

A

Descriptive research

21
Q

Random groups are selected in true experiment.

A

True

22
Q

The level or extent of an occurrence id measured descriptive research

A

True

23
Q

What are the weakness of quantitative research?

A
  • Costly, difficult, and time-consuming
  • Requires extensive statistical treatment, requiring stringed standards, more so with confirmation of results
  • Tends to only turn out as proved or unproven, leaving little room for uncertainty
24
Q

Because of a bigger number of the sample population,the results or generalizations are more reliable and valid

A

Strength of quantitative research

25
Q

Quantitative experiments filter out external factors, if properly designed, and so the results gained can be seen as real or unbiased

A

Strength of quantitative research

26
Q

Correlational studies does not require a hypothesis

A

False

27
Q

The independent variable in Quasi-experimental is identified and manipulated by the researcher

A

False

28
Q

The relationship between intelligence and self-esteem

A

Correlational research

29
Q

Non-probability sampling is used in this type of quantitative research

A

Quasi-experimental/Casual-Comparative

30
Q

True experiments are always done in a laboratory setting

A

False
