Multiple Choice

What is triangulation in qualitative research?

• Using multiple data sources to validate findings

• Conducting three separate studies

• Using a triangular graph to present data

• Focusing on three main themes

Multiple Choice

What are the tools used for data collection in scientific research?

• Surveys

• Interviews

• Observations

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

Ms. Li, a principal, is interested in the differences in student behavior between two of the third-grade classrooms at her school. She asks the teachers, Mr. Williams, whose class meets at 9:00, and Ms. Walsh, whose class meets at 1:00, to record over a week the number of times students in their classrooms act out. Mr. Williams’ class has 31 students, and Ms. Walsh’s class has 32 students. "Acting out" is defined as students speaking without raising their hand or getting out of their seats without being given permission. At the end of the week, Mr. Williams reports that on average, his students acted out 73 times a day, and Ms. Walsh reports that, on average, her students acted out 27 times a day. Ms. Li decides that the students in Ms. Walsh's classroom act out more often than those in Mr. William's class. The results of this study are inconclusive because

• the sample size is too small to draw valid conclusions

• the number of students in the classrooms is unequal

• Ms. Li did not use random assignment

• Ms. Li did not use random selection

• the time of day was a confounding variable

Multiple Choice

What is the tool for collecting information from the previous video?

• Survey

• Interview

• Observation

• Test

Multiple Choice

What are the components of a questionnaire as mentioned in the text?

• The purpose and topic

• Basic information like name and age

• The questions themselves

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

What are the three types of questions mentioned in the image?

• Open-ended

• Closed-ended

• Multiple-choice

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

What are the steps involved in designing a questionnaire according to the image?

• Identify the research community and sample

• Determine the characteristics of the community

• Formulate a set of questions that aim to provide answers to research questions

• Conduct preliminary trials on the questionnaire

Multiple Choice

An interview with a fixed list of open and closed questions

• Structured Interview

• Unstructured Interview

• Semi-structured Interview

Open Ended

What type of questions are typically asked in a structured interview?

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between a structured interview and an unstructured interview?

• Structured interviews have specific questions

• Unstructured interviews are more flexible

• Structured interviews are less reliable

• Unstructured interviews are always longer

Multiple Choice

What are the advantages of using close-ended questions in interviews?

• Close-ended questions provide specific and concise answers, save time, and guide the conversation towards relevant topics.

• Close-ended questions allow for more creativity in responses

• Open-ended questions lead to more detailed responses

• Close-ended questions make the interviewee feel more comfortable

Multiple Choice

What are the necessary conditions for conducting an interview as outlined in the image?

• Identifying the interviewees and determining the number of interviews needed.

• Arranging the necessary requirements for conducting the interview.

• Creating a plan for the interview, including the types of questions to ask.

• Ensuring the interview process is safe and meets the intended goals.

Multiple Choice

A method where the researcher is not a part of the group they are observing.

• participant observation

• non-participant observation

• Experiment

• Field Experiment

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between participatory and non-participatory observation?

• Participatory observation involves the researcher taking part in the activities being observed.

• Non-participatory observation does not involve the researcher in the activities being observed.

• Both types of observation require the researcher to interact with the subjects.

• Participatory observation is less detailed than non-participatory observation.

Multiple Choice

What are the conditions that must be met to achieve the objectives of observation?

• To specify the behavior to be observed.

• To prepare the specific tools for observation.

• To ensure that observations do not harm individuals.

• To record observations directly after behavior occurs.

Open Ended
