FIRST GRADING EXAMINATION PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2

Name: _____________________________ Date: _______________ Score: ________
I. Identification. Identify what is being asked in each number. Write your answer at the end of the question or 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. Its purpose is to establish the state of current knowledge or agreement about the research topic.
__________________________
3. In this part of study where the researcher defines who will benefit out of the findings of the study. It describes how the
problem will be solved and specifically pinpoints who will benefit from such findings or results.
4. Kind of variable that are not actually measured or observed in a study. They exist but their influence cannot be directly
detected in a study. __________________________
5. It is the first challenge in the any research. This is an intellectual stimulus calling for an answer in the form of scientific
inquiry.
6. It stands between the independent and dependent variables, and they show the effects of the independent variable on the
dependent variable. __________________________
7. Variables that represent categories that can be ordered from greatest to smallest. _____________________
8. Letters, correspondences, diaries, memoirs, autobiographies, official or research topics, patents and designs and empirical
research articles are classified as ______________ sources of related literature.
9. Variables that depend on independent variables; they are the outcomes or results of the influence of the independent
variable. _______________________
10. This part of the study that includes information which focus attention on the importance and validity of the problem.
11. Variables that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers. ______________
12. It talks about the coverage of boundaries of the research study in terms of data, locality and subjects or population
covered, the duration or period of the study, and the research issues or concerns to which the investigation is used.
____________________________
13. This is to systematically examine past events to give an account of what has happened in the past.
_______________________
14. A citation style that is author/date-based style. This means emphasis is placed on the author and the date of a piece of
work to uniquely identify it.
15. 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 letter that best answer the questions or completes 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.
C. It is a systematic process obtaining numerical information about the world.
D. It is an activity of producing or proving a theorem.

2. This form examines literature selectively in order to support or refute an argument, deeply imbedded assumption, or
philosophical problem already established in the literature.
A. Argumentation B. Integrative C. Historical D. Methodological
3. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quantitative research?
A. Data are gathered before proposing a conclusion or solution to a problem.
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.
D. It seeks to gather a more comprehensive understanding of activities related to human behavior and the attributes
that rule such behavior.
4. Which of the following describes the characteristics of research where data are in form of statistics?
A. Objective B. Numerical Data C. Replication D. Large Sample Size
 5. The purpose of this kind review is to attain conclusion regarding the chosen topic. This form consists of an overview of
existing evidence pertinent to a clearly formulated research question, which uses pre-specified and standardized methods
to identify and critically appraise relevant research, and to collect, report, and analyze data from the studies that are
included in the review.
A. Argumentation B. Integrative C. Systematic D. Methodological

A. Large Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data
B. Replication D. Objective
7. The purpose of this form is to examine the body of the theory that has accumulated in regard to an issue, concept, theory,
phenomena. It helps to establish what theories already exists, the relationship between them, to what degree the existing
