LONG QUIZ IN PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2

I. True or False. Read the following statements on review of related literature carefully. Write true if
the statement is correct. Otherwise, write false.
1. If there is a significant relationship between two variables, it follows that one variable
causes the other.
2. Longitudinal studies evaluate the changes in a criterion measure over a long period of time.
3. Assessment studies infer by attaching judgment to the measurement of key indicators.
4. Descriptive method of research involves involve control group in the design.
5. Historical researches collect, verify, and synthesize evidence from the present to establish
facts and/or conclusions.
6. Given a population frame, the first question a researcher often asks is the sampling
method.
7. Probability sampling is the only approach that makes possible representative sampling
plans.
8. Stratified random sampling divides the population into small groups then some of the
groups are the ones that are analyzed.
9. Non-probability sampling rejects randomization.
10. Accidental sampling is also known the “man on the street” interviews.
11. The quality of instruments greatly affects the quality of research output.
12. To establish validity, the responses in an instrument must highly correlate with one another
when applied at two different points in time.
13. To establish reliability, the instrument must measure what it intends to measure.
14. Primary data can be collected from interview, experimental research, observation or
questionnaire survey.
15. Computer-Assisted Personal Interview ensures that each interview is presented with
exactly the same questions in the same order.
16. Questionnaires normally have five sections namely introduction, respondent’s
identification data, instruction, information and conclusion.
17. Observations can be covert when no one knows they are being observed.
18. Field notes are the most standardized way of collecting observation data.
19. Proficiency tests provide information on how the target performs against a reference
group.
20. Secondary data do not necessarily cover the correct geographical location of your research.

II. Identification. Identify the most appropriate type of quantitative research design applicable in
each situation.
1. Determine the extent of relationship between managerial effectiveness and the variables
age, educational attainment, and mental ability.
2. Compare the managerial effectiveness of three groups of managers A, B and C.
3. Isolate the effects of a treatment through actual physical control.
4. Characterize all presidential elections happened in the country.

6. Identify the profile of all the principals of public and private schools in the Philippines.
7. Describe the common traits of Filipino heroes.
 8. The treatment is evaluated using a pretest-posttest design.
9. Analyze the effectiveness of the K to 12 program based on cost and impact on quality.
10. Investigate the association between online gaming and student achievement.
III. Multiple Choice. Determine the data collection method being described in each statement.
A. Structured Interview H. Overt Observation
B. Face-to-Face Interview I. Covert Observation
C. Telephone Interview J. Direct Observation
D. Computer-Assisted Personal Interview K. Indirect Observation
E. Paper-and-Pencil Questionnaire L. Norm-Referenced Test
F. Web-based Questionnaire M. Criterion-Referenced Test
G. Self-administered Questionnaire N. Proficiency Test

1. The interview follows a specific format with the same line of questioning.
2. People are more truthful regarding controversial issues in particular due to the fact that
their responses are anonymous.
3. These provide information on how the target performs against a reference group.
4. The sample may be biased to the extent that people without phones are part of the
population.
5. The benefit of this is that people are more likely to behave naturally.
6. It is a new and inevitably growing methodology using the internet-based research.
7. This provides an assessment against a level of skill attainment, but includes standards for
performance.
8. This requires that interviewers to have typing skills.
9. It is when you watch interactions, processes or behaviors as they occur.
10. Questionnaires are generally distributed through mail, filled out and administered by the
respondents themselves.

“Pssst! May partner ka na.

At isa pa, katabi mo siya.
Kaya please lang, huwag nang lumingon sa iba.
Bakit, electric fan ka ba?

Sabihin mo kung may problema ka sa partner mo.

Hindi yung maghahanap ka agad ng bago.
Kasama mo na nga, di pa nakuntento.
Pangdalawahan lamang ‘to. Hindi para sa tatlo.”
