First Monthly Exam in Practical Research

TEST I. IDENTIFICATION

DIRECTION: Identify what is being asked in the following sentences.

____________1. The most fundamental tool for all quantitative outcome research methodologies
and studies.

____________2. Conducted to establish a relationship between two closely-knit entities and how
one impacts the other and what are the changes that are eventually observed.

____________3. Factors that affect the dependent variable but that the researcher did not
originally consider when designing the experiment.

____________4. Incites excitement in any research than constants.

____________5. Changes the relationship between dependent and independent variables by

strengthening or weakening the intervening variable's effect.

____________6. Any data sets that involve numbers or amounts.

____________7. Any numerical variables you can realistically count, such as the coins in your
wallet or the money in your savings account.
____________8. Numerical variables that you could never finish counting, such as time.
____________9. The framework of research methods and techniques chosen by a researcher.
____________10. A brief outline of the most important studies that have been conducted so far
presented in a chronological order.

TEST II

YES or NO: Is the statement erroneous?

1. Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data, documentation of

critical information, and analysis and interpretation of that data/information.

2. Descriptive research design is a theory-based design method which is created by gathering,

analyzing, and presenting collected data.

3. Correlational research design is a casual design where one observes the impact caused by the
independent variable on the dependent variable.

4. Explanatory design uses a researcher’s ideas and thoughts on a subject to further explore their
theories.

5. In diagnostic design the researcher is looking to evaluate the underlying cause of a specific
topic or phenomenon.

6. Quanlitative research focuses on numeric and unchanging data and detailed, convergent
reasoning rather than divergent reasoning.
7. Variable is pertinent to define and identify the variables while designing quantitative research
projects.

8. Control or controlling variables are characteristics that are constant and do not change during a
study.

9. An dependent variable is a singular characteristic that the other variables in your experiment
cannot change.

10. Cross-sectional surveys are observational surveys conducted in situations where the
researcher intends to collect data from a sample of the target population at a given point in time.

methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines.
a. Research c. Quantitative research
b. Inquiry d. Qualitative research

b. The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the population.
c. Many information is difficult to gather specifically on sensitive issues like pre-marital
sex, domestic violence, etc.
 d. All of the above
10. The most fundamental tool for all quantitative outcome research methodologies and studies.
a. Experimental research c. Correlational research
b. Survey research d. Quantitative research
