Practical Research 1 Diagnostic

What is the purpose of practical research?

• To analyze historical data

• To conduct experiments in a controlled environment

• To apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations

• To create new theoretical knowledge

What are the different types of research methods?

• A, B, C, D, E

• Survey, interview, observation, experiment

• Qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, action research, and case study

• Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary

Explain the steps involved in conducting practical research.

• Define the research problem, analyze data, formulate a hypothesis

• Define the research problem, review literature, formulate a hypothesis, design the research, collect data, analyze data, and draw conclusions.

• Design the research, review literature, draw conclusions

• Gather data, review literature, draw conclusions

What is the importance of literature review in practical research?

• It helps in identifying gaps in existing research, providing context for the study, and supporting the theoretical framework.

• It has no relevance in practical research

• It is only important in theoretical research

• It only adds unnecessary length to the research paper

What are the ethical considerations in practical research?

• Using unverified data

• Ignoring participant safety

• Sharing research findings without consent

• Informed consent, confidentiality, potential harm to participants

Discuss the significance of data collection and analysis in practical research.

• Data collection and analysis only provide superficial information

• Data collection and analysis are irrelevant in practical research

• Data collection and analysis are too time-consuming and costly

• Data collection and analysis help in identifying patterns, trends, and relationships, which can lead to valuable insights and findings.

What are the common challenges faced during practical research?

• Some common challenges faced during practical research include obtaining accurate data, managing time effectively, dealing with unexpected obstacles, and ensuring ethical considerations are met.

• Ignoring ethical considerations

• Not facing any unexpected obstacles

• Having too much accurate data

Explain the difference between qualitative and quantitative research.

• Qualitative research uses mathematical models, while quantitative research uses interviews and observations.

• Qualitative research focuses on studying plants and animals, while quantitative research focuses on studying human behavior.

• Qualitative research focuses on understanding human behavior and the reasons behind it, while quantitative research focuses on numerical data and statistical analysis.

• Qualitative research relies on surveys and questionnaires, while quantitative research relies on in-depth interviews and case studies.

What are the key components of a research proposal?

• Appendix, questionnaire, results

• Title, abstract, introduction, literature review, research design and methods, data analysis, references

• Survey, experiment, interview

• Hypothesis, conclusion, acknowledgements

Discuss the role of research in solving real-world problems.

• Real-world problems can be solved without research

• Research only creates more problems in the real world

• Research helps in identifying, analyzing, and providing solutions to real-world problems.

• Research has no impact on real-world problems
