true or false.
1. The scientific method is a very orderly process entailing a number of
sequential steps.

phenomena.
_____True _____ False
3. Research is formal, systematic application of scientific method to study of
problems.
_____True _____ False

replicates knowledge.
_____True _____ False
5. Research improves practices and informs policy issues.
_____True _____ False
6. Action research is concerned with the application of a theory to the solution
of the problem.
_____True _____ False

an example of research.
_____True _____ False
9. Research is, by nature cyclical.
_____True _____ False
10. It is ethical for researcher to pretend to be a member of a secretarial pool
and observe workers without then knowing that they are part of the study.
_____True _____ False

III. ANALYSIS: Analyze the scenario below.

A workplace is requesting for a study be conducted to estimate the cost and

time involved in installing a new lighting system because a number of employees
have filed insurance claims because of eye problems. Before investigating the
cost of lighting, a problem analysis would determine the degree that the lighting is
affecting employees or if the lighting is not actually the problem. It may be that,
after reviewing records, the eye problems are isolated to workers in one particular
 shop. In this case, the problem analysis study would recommend solutions related
to this particular area.

1. What is the problem of the company?
