Third Quarter Examination

Name: ___________________________________________ Grade and Section: _______________

Direction: Write True if the underline word is correct and False if the statement is wrong.

_____1. A research is a systematic because it follows the orderly and sequential procedure.
_____2. Research should be controlled because all findings are logically based on empirical.
_____3. Research should be objective, unbiased and logical because all findings are logically based on
empirical.
_____4. Making a research work must require courage so that the researcher may be felt motivated.
_____5. A research is cyclical because its starts with the problem then end with a problem.
_____6. A research work always answers all types of questions because answering question is the
primary aim of doing a research.
_____7. A research work also has logical root that help to establish facts or principles to produce
explanations and facts to give emphasis to the enlightenment of the readers about the topic.
_____8. Also, a researcher must always require effort to his/her product making capacity.
_____9. A researcher must be patient an unhurried activity to ensure accuracy.
_____10. First is employing methods because research is based on observations and experimentation on
theories.

Direction: Write True if the statement is correct. If not, change the underline word/s to make the statement
correct.

_____1. The function of research design is to provide for the collection of relevant evidence with a minimal
expenditure of effort, time and money.____________________
_____2. Formulate hypothesis is a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or
empirical consequences. ____________________
_____3. Once a problem is defined, a brief summary of it should be written down. ____________________
_____4. Research is the process of gathering data for the purpose of initiating a particular investment or
group of investments. ___________________
_____5. The analysis of data requires a number of closely related operations such as establishment of
categories.____________________
_____6. Researcher has to prepare the report of what has been done by him. ____________________
_____7. The role of the hypothesis is to guide the researcher by delaminating the area of research and
keep him on the right track. ____________________
_____8. It is not compulsory for a research worker writing a thesis for a Ph.D. degree to write a synopsis of
topic and submit it to necessary committee or the research board of approval.
___________________
_____9. Based from Grag’s explanation, he has told that it contains the seven (7) steps research process.
____________________
_____10. Analysis of data can be collected through: by observation, through personal interview, through
telephone interview, by mailing of questionnaires and through schedules. ____________________
_____11. Quantitative research typically is exploratory and/or investigative in nature. ________________
_____12. Qualitative research deals with designs, techniques and measures that do not produce discrete
numerical data._________________
_____13. Quantitative research is used to quantify the problem by way of generating mathematical data.
 _____________________
_____14. Research can be divided into broad categories of qualitative and quantitative research.
____________________
_____15. In qualitative research, the sample size is typically small. ______________

Direction: Write A if the statement is Strength while B if the statement is Weakness.

_____1. Qualitative approaches are especially responsive to local situations, conditions, and stakeholders’
needs.
_____2. Can describe in rich detail phenomena as they are situated and embedded in local contexts.
_____3. Data are usually collected in naturalistic settings in qualitative research.
_____4. Data analysis is often time consuming.
_____5. It is difficult to make quantitative predictions.
_____6. Provides individual case information.
_____7. The results are more easily influenced by the researcher’s personal biases and idiosyncrasies.
_____8. It generally takes more time to collect the data when compared to quantitative research.
_____9. Knowledge produced might not generalize to other people or other settings (i.e. findings might be
unique to the relatively few people included in the research study).
_____10. Provides understanding and description of people’s personal experiences of phenomena (i.e., the
emic or insider’s viewpoint).

Direction: Read and analyze the questions carefully. Then, encircle the “bullet” of the option which you
think is the correct or best answer. If you think there is no correct answer, write A on the space
provided.

1. Research is undertaken because of some importance it has and does for individuals and the
society. Reasons for its significance are given as follows, except: _____
- To gather information - To have safer life
- To improve standard of living - To know the truth
2. It is an act of studying something carefully and extensively in order to attain deep knowledge.
_____
- Action research - Research
- Case study - Descriptive research
3. Research follows orderly and sequential procedures, based on valid procedures and principles.
Researchers are advised to refer the research guidelines provided or prescribed by the school.
_____
- Empirical - Controlled
- Systematic - Objective
4. In research, all variables, except those are tested/experimented on, are kept constant. _____
- Systematic - Objective
- Empirical - Controlled
5. Research is based on observations and experimentation of theories. It takes into account the
direct experiences that fuse the researcher’s speculation with reality. _____
- Systematic - Objective
- Controlled - Analytical
6. The term also refers to the research as unbiased and logical. All findings are logically based on
empirical data, and based on real life situations. _____
- Original work - Employs hypothesis
- Controlled - Objective
7. The hypothesis guides the investigation process. Research refers to a search for facts, answer
to questions and solutions to problems. _____
- Objective - Analytical
- Original work - Employs hypothesis
8. Requires effort to get the researcher’s own investigation and produce the data needed to
complete the study. _____
- Original work - Employs hypothesis
- Objective - Empirical
 9. Enumerated below are the words and phrases that correspond to the principles on which actions
exhibited while doing research are anchored on, except: _____
- Openness - Objectivity
- Honesty - Carefulness
10. Once the problem is defined, a brief summary of it should be written down. _____
- Review of Literature - Data Analysis
- Formulate Hypothesis - Data Collection

11. It requires a number of closely related operations such as establishment of categories. This
stage mainly include: coding, editing and tabulation._____
- Interpretation and Report Writing - Preparing the Research Design
- Data Collection - Data Analysis
12. It is a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical
consequences. It should be very specific and limited to the piece of research in hand because it
has to be tested. ______
- Review of Literature - Data Analysis
- Formulate Hypothesis - Define Research Problem
13. Research has to prepare the report of what has been done. Writing of report includes: the
preliminary pages; the main text, and the end matter. _____
- Data Collection - Preparing Research Design
- Review of Literature - Interpretation and Report Writing
14. Which of the following is the characteristic of qualitative research? _____

population of interest.
- It is exploratory and/or investigative in nature.
