1. What is the characteristic of quantitative research?
a. Collecting numeric data from a large number of people using instruments with
preset questions and responses
b. Stating the purpose and research questions in a general and broad way so as to the
participants’ experiences
c. Collecting data based on words from a small number of individuals so that the
participants’ views are obtained
d. Analyzing the data for description and themes using text analysis and interpreting
the larger meaning of the findings
2. What is the characteristic of qualitative research?
a. Stating the purpose and research questions in a general and broad way so as to
the participants’ experiences
b. Creating purpose statements, research questions, and hypotheses that are specific,
narrow, measurable, and observable
c. Collecting numeric data from a large number of people using instruments with
preset questions and responses
d. Analyzing trends, comparing groups, or relating variables using statistical analysis,
and interpreting results by comparing them with prior predictions and past research
3. Which of the following BEST characterizes the difference between quantitative and
qualitative studies?
a. Quantitative studies involve many, many variables while qualitative studies involve
only one or two variables.
b. Quantitative problems are stated as questions while qualitative problems are stated as
hypotheses.
c. Quantitative problems are researchable while qualitative ones are not.
d. Quantitative researchers structure and control the context while qualitative researchers
do not interfere with the natural context.
4. Which of the following is a criterion for a good research question?
a. Questions should be long and use complex terms
b. Questions should show where my research biases are.
c. Questions should sound contemporary.
 d. Questions should connect with established theory and research.
5. Why is it important to have well formulated research questions?
a. It gives greater clarity to the research process and what you wish to research.
b. It leads to more focused research.
