4. TRUE 9. TRUE
5. FALSE 10. FALSE

GUIDED PRACTICE 2 I HAVE LIMITATIONS TOO

~Research data could be too general.

~Research result might not be in-depth.

~Researcher’s theory might not reflect the real phenomena.

~Not sure whether the respondents fully understand the questions.

~Useful of large sample size

~Less time consuming analysis

~Relatively Quick to Gather Data

~Can generalize findings when based on

random samples with sufficient size.

V. APPLICATION

Situational Analysis: You observed that your respondents did not seriously answer your research
instrument/questionnaire. It ends up that you are not sure if the results are valid and reliable. What do
you think are the possible reasons for these? How will you rework to improve the process?

If I observed that my respondents are not answering my research questionnaire seriously, I would make
them answer it again. But before that, I would check my questionnaire if it is understandable by everyone.
Because it might be the reason why the result I got is inaccurate because they do not understand the
questions. I could also encourage them to answer it seriously by telling them the objectives of my research
and make them understand the significance of the research that I am doing.
