  • 2. 

    In reviewing literature all the necessary info relating to the research prob. Should be included.

    • Consistent

    • Coherent

    • Complete

    • Concise

    Correct Answer
    A. Complete
    Explanation
    The given answer, "Complete," is the correct answer because when reviewing literature, it is essential to include all the necessary information relating to the research problem. This ensures that the review is comprehensive and covers all relevant aspects of the topic. By including all the necessary information, the review becomes more thorough and provides a more accurate understanding of the research problem.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A research that focuses on the solution of a local problem

    • Action research

    • Pure research

    • Basic research

    • Problem research

    Correct Answer
    A. Action research
    Explanation
    Action research is a type of research that focuses on finding practical solutions to local problems. It involves active participation from researchers and stakeholders in the problem-solving process. Unlike pure research or basic research, which aim to expand knowledge in a particular field, action research is specifically geared towards addressing real-world issues and implementing change. Problem research is not a recognized term in research methodology, so it is not a valid option.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A wild guess that is being made by the researcher in order to explain the current event.

    • Theory

    • Hypothesis

    • Variables

    • Tentative explamation

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypothesis
    Explanation
    A hypothesis is a tentative explanation that is based on limited evidence or prior knowledge. It is a proposition or a possible solution to a problem that can be tested and verified through further research. In this context, the researcher is making a wild guess to explain the current event, which aligns with the definition of a hypothesis. The other options, such as theory, variables, and tentative explanation, do not accurately capture the concept of a speculative explanation in the same way that a hypothesis does.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A kind of research that is used process of finding gaps or weaknesses in the study.

    • Production research

    • Evaluation research

    • Quantitative research

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaluation research
    Explanation
    Evaluation research is a type of research that is used to assess and determine the effectiveness, efficiency, and value of a particular program, intervention, or policy. It involves systematically gathering and analyzing data to identify any gaps or weaknesses in the study and to provide recommendations for improvement. This type of research helps in understanding the impact and outcomes of a program or intervention, and it is often used to inform decision-making and improve future initiatives.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

     The result of the findings is generalized

    • Quantitative Research

    • Qualitative Research

    • Triangulation

    Correct Answer
    A. Triangulation
    Explanation
    Triangulation refers to the practice of using multiple research methods or data sources to confirm and validate findings. It involves cross-checking information from different perspectives to ensure accuracy and reliability. In this context, if the result of the findings is generalized, it implies that the researcher has used triangulation to gather data from various sources and methods, leading to a more comprehensive and robust understanding of the research topic.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Study behavior in natural environment

    • Quantitative Research

    • Qualitative Research

    • Triangulation

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantitative Research
    Explanation
    Quantitative research involves the collection and analysis of numerical data to study behavior in a natural environment. This type of research relies on statistical analysis to draw conclusions and make predictions. It focuses on objective measurements and seeks to establish cause-and-effect relationships. By using quantitative research methods, researchers can gather large amounts of data from a representative sample, allowing for generalization to a larger population. This approach is particularly useful when studying behavior in a natural environment, as it allows for systematic observation and measurement of variables.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Behavior is somewhat  predictable

    • Quantitative Research

    • Triangulation

    • Qualitative Research

    Correct Answer
    A. Triangulation
    Explanation
    Triangulation is the process of using multiple research methods or data sources to validate and confirm findings. In this context, the statement "Behavior is somewhat predictable" suggests that the researcher is trying to understand and predict human behavior. Triangulation is an appropriate approach as it involves using both quantitative and qualitative research methods to gather a comprehensive understanding of behavior. By combining different methods, researchers can increase the reliability and validity of their findings, providing a more accurate and complete picture of behavior.
