APPLIED 121 B: Research 2

Mock Exam

I. Identification. Write your answer on the given space. (2 pts.)

Research Design 1. It is the framework of research methods and techniques.
Quantitative Research 2. It involves collecting and converting data into numerical form so that
statistical calculations can be made, and conclusions can be drawn.
Textual 3. What is the data format of a qualitative research design?
Mertler, 2014 4. According to this researcher, descriptive research design describes and interprets the
status of individuals, settings, conditions, or events
Ethnographic 5. This design involves observing target in their natural, real-world setting.
Population 6. It refers to the total collection of objects, events or individuals that have characteristics
that are of interest to the researchers.
Stratified Random Sampling 7. In this sampling, the population is divided into subgroups called “strata”
and samples are selected from each stratum
Data Gathering Procedure 8. In this part of Chapter 2 states all the actions taken and procedures to gather needed
data.
Ethical Issues 9. These should be considered in the duration of the study.
10. Statistical treatments used in the study must be specified in this section.
Designing Phase 11. What is the second phase of product development?
Burns and Grove (2005) 12. According to these researchers, quantitative research is used to describe
variables, examine their relation, determine their cause-and-effect interactions.
Experimental 13. These are commonly used in psychology, sciences, medicine etc.
Sample 14. It is a small portion of a population and may represent the whole population.
Non-probability Sampling 15. This sampling does not give all the members of the population of being selected.
Clerical Tools 16. These are used when the researcher studies people and gathers data on the feelings,
emotions, attitudes, and judgment of the subjects.
Case Studies 17. This method is an in-depth investigation of experiences to identify interactions and
influences on psychological processes.
Cluster Sampling 18. It is also known as ‘Area Sampling’.
Research Instruments 19. These are used to gather or collect data.
Research Ethics 20. These are moral principles that guide researchers in the evaluation and reporting the
findings.

IV. Modified True or False. Write “LEGIT” if the statement is correct and “SCAM” is incorrect. If the
statement is incorrect, then kindly include the correct answer for the statement. (1 pt.)
1. Historical research designs rely on observation, video diaries, photographs, contextual
interviews, analysis of artifacts as its primary sources of information.
2. Instruments used in a quantitative research design are more rigid in style.
3. A sample is a total collection of objects.
4. In purposive sampling, you are finding people with requisite characteristics until you meet
the desired number of respondents or participants.
5. Respondents affect how and which questions will be asked by the researcher in
quantitative research.
6. Quantitative research is more stable.
7. Qualitative research is used to quantify variation or variables.
8. You do not need to inform your participants or respondents about what they’re going to
do in your research.
9. The primary aim of a qualitative research is to provide a complete, detailed description of
the research topic.
10. Quantitative seeks to understand human behavior and reasons that govern such behavior.
11. A qualitative research design uses a numerical data format.
12. Stratified random sampling uses lottery or fishbowl sampling technique to choose
respondents or participants.
13. Qualitative research uses the word “respondents” to refer to its sample.
14. Descriptive research design is commonly used in psychology, sciences, medicine etc.
15. Quantitative research is more exploratory in nature and subjective in approach.
