Total questions: 50
Worksheet time: 25mins
Which of the following best defines a research problem?
A list of references from other studies
A specific issue requiring systematic investigation
A general idea about any topic
A yes/no question
Which quality ensures a research problem is not overly broad?
Interesting scope
Focused boundaries
Extensive background
Unlimited coverage
A research problem must be:
Based on intuition alone
Researchable through data collection and analysis
Dependent on subjective feelings
Answerable only by yes/no
Which is NOT a common source of research problems?
Personal frustrations
Community challenges
Random guesses without observation
School environment insights
Problem Tree Analysis shows:
Only the effects of a problem
Causes (roots), problem (trunk), and effects (branches)
The research methodology
The literature gap only
The purpose of Problem Tree Analysis is to:
Prove hypotheses immediately
Identify root causes and consequences of the problem
Replace the need for research questions
Summarize findings
Which question type asks 'What is happening?'
Comparative
Relational
Descriptive
Predictive
'Is there a difference between male and female students' study habits?' is an example of:
Relational question
Comparative question
Descriptive question
Evaluative question
'Is there a relationship between screen time and attention span?' is an example of:
Descriptive question
Comparative question
Relational question
Historical question
Which is NOT part of SMART criteria for research questions?
Specific
Achievable
Time-bound
Abstract
A well-crafted research question should:
Be vague and flexible
Be clear, measurable, and realistic
Include assumptions
Avoid specific variables
Why should yes/no questions be avoided in research?
They are too long
They limit exploration and depth
They cannot be graded
They are not allowed in school
Instead of using 'effective,' a question should use:
Precise, measurable indicators
Abstract words
Personal opinions
Emotional language
A biased research question assumes:
Neutrality
The cause before investigation
Measurability
Ethical data collection
Which technique helps refine research questions?
Focusing on measurable variables
Using vague concepts
Asking yes/no only
Avoiding data collection
Why must research problems have real-world relevance?
To make them more dramatic
To ensure practical value and community impact
To guarantee funding
To get published automatically
Which type of research question often begins with 'how' or 'why'?
Descriptive
Comparative
Open-ended exploratory
Factual
One common mistake in formulating research questions is:
Focusing on measurable variables
Creating overly broad questions
Collecting relevant data
Using SMART criteria
What is the main purpose of an RRL?
To show your personal opinion
To summarize and evaluate existing studies related to your topic
To copy other researchers' work
To avoid using citations
An RRL prevents:
Literature reviews
Duplication of previous studies
Research methodology
Surveys
An RRL helps identify:
Knowledge gaps
Classroom activities
Only future predictions
Personal frustrations
A strong RRL builds:
Titles
Theoretical framework
Class projects
Random opinions
Which source is a primary source?
Review article
Thesis or journal article
Textbook summary
Newspaper editorial
Which source is secondary?
Review article
Academic journal
Thesis
Conference paper
Which is the best database for education research?
JSTOR
ERIC
To check credibility, you must consider:
Author's handwriting
Author's expertise and credentials
Popularity
Length of the source
Recent sources are preferred because:
They are cheaper
They have fewer pages
They provide current and relevant information
They are easier to copy
Which ensures quality in a source?
Random publication
Peer review status
Number of citations
Colorful graphics
Synthesizing literature means:
Copy-pasting
Connecting ideas across multiple sources
Listing sources only
Skipping older studies
Transition words like 'similarly' or 'in contrast' are used to:
End the RRL
Show relationships between sources
Start a new paragraph
Cite references
APA in-text citation requires:
Title only
Author's last name and year
Only URL
Page number only
Which is correct APA citation for three or more authors?
(Smith, Jones, & Brown, 2022)
(Smith et al., 2022)
(Smith, 2022)
(Smith and Brown, 2022)
A reference list in APA must be arranged:
Chronologically
By publication type
Alphabetically by author's surname
By source length
The RRL gives academic credibility because it:
Shows good handwriting
Demonstrates thorough understanding of the subject
Includes colorful slides
Avoids synthesis
A good research title should be:
A question format
Clear, concise, and focused
25-30 words long
Filled with vague words
The ideal length for a research title is:
5 words
25 words
10-15 words
More than 20 words
Which should a research title include?
Only fun words
Variables, population, and sometimes location
Rhetorical questions
Broad generalizations
Which term should be avoided in research titles?
Analyze
Things
Assess
Determine
A concise title should:
Summarize the research essence in a few words
Be very detailed
Include multiple subtopics
Be ambiguous
Which example follows the title formula?
"Why Students Study Hard"
"Effect of Study Habits on Academic Performance among Grade 10 Students"
"Study Habits"
"How Smart Students Are"
Research objectives must start with:
Adjectives
Action verbs like determine, analyze, assess
Random phrases
Questions
The difference between general and specific objectives is:
General ones are longer
General states overall purpose; specific breaks it down into measurable steps
Specific ones are vague
General ones are always SMART
SMART objectives must be:
Stylish, Modern, Academic, Realistic, Trendy
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound
Simple, Modern, Achievable, Reliable, Testable
Short, Manageable, Authentic, Relevant, Tough
A vague research objective is problematic because:
It is too easy
It cannot be measured or evaluated
It is too short
It saves time
Why should objectives connect directly to the research question?
To make them shorter
To maintain study focus and purpose
To avoid citations
To simplify APA
Overly broad titles are problematic because they:
Look creative
Lack specificity and make research unfocused
Save time
Are acceptable in APA
Which is an example of an unmeasurable objective?
"Understand better the use of social media"
"Assess the hours students spend online weekly"
"Analyze effects of social media on grades"
"Determine frequency of Facebook use"
Which should NOT be used as a research title?
A question format
A statement format
Concise descriptive terms
Variables and population
Repetitive specific objectives must be avoided because they:
Look longer
Overlap and duplicate efforts
Improve credibility
Make APA easier
Which is a common mistake in writing objectives?
Using varied action verbs
Setting irrelevant or unrealistic objectives
Breaking into measurable steps
Aligning with research questions
