Identify the characteristic of research being described in the situation: Alexa observed that more than half of her classmates skip classes in the afternoon. She conducted a study to investigate this phenomenon. This shows research is ----

• cynical

• empirical

• methodical

• replicable

Identify what characteristic of research is being described in the situation: It was Andreas' first attempt to conduct research in her Practical Research class. She asked some advice from her research teacher who told her to follow a step by step process, starting from creating the research title, to the giving of the recommendations in the final stage. This shows that research is :

• empirical

• logical

• methodical

• replicable

Identify the characteristic of research being described in the situation: Teacher Mike Gomez read that the use of local dialect in teaching mathematics to Hispanic students increases their understanding of the subject.
