Exploring Research Methodology

What is qualitative research primarily focused on?

• Analyzing statistical data to find trends.

• Conducting experiments to test hypotheses.

• Understanding human behavior and experiences through non-numerical data.

• Gathering numerical data for quantitative analysis.

Which of the following is a common qualitative research method?

• Surveys

• Case Studies

• Interviews

• Focus Groups

What is the main goal of quantitative research?

• To explore subjective experiences and gather personal insights.

• To validate existing theories without collecting new data.

• To create theoretical frameworks without numerical data.

• To quantify the problem and generate numerical data for analysis.

Which of the following is a quantitative data collection technique?

• Interviews with open-ended questions

• Surveys with closed-ended questions

• Focus groups with discussion prompts

• Observational studies without measurements

What is a key characteristic of qualitative data?

• Quantitative and numerical nature

• Emphasizes mathematical modeling

• Descriptive and non-numerical nature

• Focus on statistical analysis

What type of analysis is often used in qualitative research?

• Statistical analysis

• Thematic analysis

• Content analysis

• Regression analysis

What is the purpose of a literature review in research?

• To summarize the main findings of a single study.

• To collect personal opinions on various topics.

• To provide a detailed analysis of a specific book.

• To synthesize existing research, identify gaps, and justify the need for new research.

What are the main components of a literature review?

• The main components of a literature review are introduction, summary of literature, critical analysis, identification of research gaps, and conclusion.

• Critical analysis and personal opinion

• Summary of literature and bibliography

• Introduction and conclusion only

What is a null hypothesis?

• A null hypothesis is a theory that explains the relationship between variables.

• A null hypothesis is a statement that confirms a significant effect in a statistical test.

• A null hypothesis is a statement that assumes no effect or no difference in a statistical test.

• A null hypothesis is a prediction of a specific outcome in an experiment.

What is an alternative hypothesis?

• A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis, indicating a potential effect or relationship.

• A statement that supports the null hypothesis, showing no effect.

• A hypothesis that cannot be tested or measured.

• A claim that is always true regardless of the data.
