Concept Paper Development

1. Which of the following best describes a research problem?

• A personal interest

• A statement that identifies an issue needing investigation

• A conduct of literature review

• A list of research objectives

1. What is a research gap?

• An area where sufficient research has been conducted

• A method that has been used in research consistently

• A missing or unexplored topic in research or field

• An issue already resolved in previous studies

1. Which of the following is NOT a source for identifying research gaps?

• Reviewing current literature

• Personal preferences

• Contradictory findings in previous studies

• Emerging research trends or technologies

Which of the following DOES NOT constitute a research problem?

• Any and/or collective research gaps

• An empirical observation of a phenomenon

• An issue/concern that can be resolved in a given time frame

• The successful impact of teaching methods on students

5. What is the purpose of a concept paper's brief “Background of the Study” section?

• Present the researcher's personal opinion

• Provide context and justify the need for the study

• State the research results

• Summarize the research methodology

Which of the following would be a research question for a quantitative study?

• How do teachers feel about online education?

• What are teachers' perspectives on the factors contributing to students' success in online learning environments?

• What percentage of students score above 70% in online English test?

• What are the experiences of students struggling in math?

Which methodology is most appropriate for understanding students' personal experiences with online learning?

• Quantitative

• Qualitative

• Quasi-Experimental

• Experimental

Quantitative methods are best suited for research that:

• Involves understanding individual perspectives

• Collects numerical data and analyzes statistical relationships

• Explores in-depth interviews

• Examines open-ended questions

A mixed-methods study is ideal when:

• The research question requires both numerical data and descriptive accounts.

• Only qualitative insights/accounts are needed

• The research focuses purely on theoretical exploration

• Only intra-paradigm qualitative design is used

Which research methodology would you use to compare online and face-to-face learners' test scores?

• Qualitative

• Quantitative

• Mixed method

• Grounded Theory
