Answer the questions below. Follow instructions properly.

I. TRUE or FALSE. Write QUANTITATIVE after the item when the sentence is true while QUALITATIVE if the statement
is false.

1. In quantitative research, researchers know in advance what they are looking for. _______________
2. Quantitative research can be easily misinterpreted because it provides numerical data. _______________
3. Quantitative research puts emphasis on proof, rather than discovery. _______________
4. Normative research is conducted by researcher whose aim would be to find out the direction and/or relationship

8. The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the population.
9. It tends to be associated with emergent research design, using a wide range of approaches
10. Researcher has a clearly defined research question to which objective answers are sought.

This serves as your summative test. Answer the questions below following the instruction given in each test.

I. Identification. Identify what is being asked in each number. Write your answer after the statement.

1. It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased results that can be generalized to
some larger population and explain a particular observation. _________________________
2. It suggests that the data concerned can be analyzed in terms of numbers. _______________________
3. This kind of research derives conclusion from observations and manifestations that already occurred in the past
and now compared to some dependent variables. _______________________
4. It describes the norm level of characteristics for a given behavior. _________________
5. In this design, the researcher can collect more data, either by scheduling more observations or finding more
existing measures. ________________________
6. It is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction, associations and/or relationship
between different variables or groups of respondents under study. ______________________
7. It refers to the overall strategy that you choose in order to integrate the different components of the study in a
coherent and logical way, thereby ensuring you will effectively address the research problem.
__________________________
8. It controls for both time-related and group-related threats. Two features mark true experiments: two or more
differently treated groups; and random assignment to these groups. ____________________________
9. All variables in the study can contribute to the over-all prediction in an equation that adds together the predictive
power of each identified variable. _______________________
10. Its main purpose is to observe, describe and document aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and sometimes
to serve as a starting point for hypothesis generation or theory development. __________________________
II. Multiple Choice. Choose the correct letter that best describe the question or complete the statement. Write
your answer before the number.
1. Which of the following BEST defines quantitative research?
A. It is an exploration associated with libraries, books and journals.
B. It is an activity concerned with finding new truth in education.

D. It is an activity of producing or proving a theorem.
2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quantitative research?

B. Quantitative methods can be repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus strengthen and reinforcing
validity of findings eliminating the possibility of spurious conclusions.
C. Figures, tables or graphs showcase summarized data collection in order to show trends, relationships or
differences among variables. In sum, the charts and tables allow you to see the evidence collected.
