Test I. Identify what is asked in the following statements.
1. It is a type of research design in which an investigator manipulates and controls one or more independent variables and observes the dependent variable/s for variation concomitant to the manipulation of the independent variables. 2. This refers to individuals used in an experimental-type research. 3. It is the process which involves taking a part of the population, making observation on this representative group, and then generalizing the findings to the bigger population. 4. It refers to any sub-aggregate drawn from the population to it is a portion of a population. 5. What formula is used to determine the sample size of a population? 6. It is a form prepared and distributed through the mail or filled out by the respondent under the supervision of the investigator or the interviewer. 7. This refers to the degree to which a test measures what it really purports to measure. 8. It is one where not all elements in the population frame have an equal chance of being selected during sampling. 9. It is defined as the degree of consistency and precision of accuracy that a measuring instrument demonstrates. 10. It is a research tool commonly used in field surveys.
Test II. Write TRUE if the statement is correct, and FALSE
if otherwise. 1. An ideal questionnaire must not be too suggestive or too unstimulating. 2. In an informal observation, the researcher makes a guide on what to observe and sometimes limits information from the respondents. 3. Survey type of descriptive research aims to find out the direction and extent of relationship between different variables of a population under study. 4. A pretest-posttest control group design involves both the experimental and the control group which were created thru random assignment of subjects from a study population. 5. Case studies aims to have deeper, more thorough or more comprehensive understanding of an individual or group.
Test III. Enumerate the following.
1-4. What are the 4 types of research design? 5-6. What are the 2 types of sampling strategies? 7-9. Give the 3 types of research instruments. 10-12. Give at least 3 types of probability sampling techniques. 13-15. Give at least 3 types of non-probability sampling techniques.
