This serves as your summative test. Answer the questions below following the
instruction given in each test.

I. Multiple Choice. Choose the correct letter that best describe the question or complete
the statement. Write your answer before the number.

1. Which of the following BEST defines quantitative research?

A. It is an exploration associated with libraries, books and journals. B. It is an activity

concerned with finding new truth in education. C. It is a systematic process obtaining
numerical information about the world. D. It is an activity of producing or proving a
theorem.

2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quantitative research?

A. Data are gathered before proposing a conclusion or solution to a problem.

B. Quantitative methods can be repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus

strengthen and reinforcing validity of findings eliminating the possibility of spurious
conclusions.

C. Figures, tables or graphs showcase summarized data collection in order to show

trends, relationships or differences among variables. In sum, the charts and tables allow
you to see the evidence collected.

more reliable data analysis

. A. Large Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data B. Replication D. Objective

5. It is done to check the correctness and verify the findings of the study. A. Large
Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data B. Replication D. Objective
 6. The researchers know in advance what they are looking for. The research questions
are well defined for which objective answers are sought. All aspects of the study are
carefully designed before data are gathered.

A. Future Outcomes C. Clearly defined Research Questions B. Structured Research

Instruments D. Numerical Data

7. Which research design seeks to describe “what is”?

8. In this type of research, the investigator tries to probe the significance of relationship
between two or more factors or characteristics

A. Correlational C. Ex-post facto B. Experimental D. Survey

9. Which of the item below does NOT hold true for descriptive research?

A. describes the nature of a situation or an event B. presents the profile of persons,

events, and things C. describes past situations D. there is no manipulation of variables
or search for cause and effect related to the performance

10. Which of the following illustrates a quantitative study?

A. attributes to malnutrition in children B. public opinion to the sex scandal of the Pres.
in our country C. academic performance of high school students D. all of the above
choices

II. Identification. Identify what is being asked in each number. Write your answer after
the statement.

1. It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased results
that can be generalized to some larger population and explain a particular observation.
_________________________ 2. It suggests that the data concerned can be analyzed
in terms of numbers. _______________________ 3. This kind of research derives
conclusion from observations and manifestations that already occurred in the past and
now compared to some dependent variables. _______________________ 4. It
describes the norm level of characteristics for a given behavior. _________________ 5.
In this design, the researcher can collect more data, either by scheduling more
observations or finding more existing measures. ________________________ 6. It is
conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction, associations
and/or relationship between different variables or groups of respondents under study.

______________________ 7. It refers to the overall strategy that you choose in order to integrate the different components
of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby ensuring you will effectively address the research problem.
__________________________ 8. It controls for both time-related and group-related threats. Two features mark true
experiments: two or more differently treated groups; and random assignment to these groups.
____________________________ 9. All variables in the study can contribute to the over-all prediction in an equation that
adds together the predictive power of each identified variable. _______________________ 10. Its main purpose is to
observe, describe and document aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and sometimes to serve as a starting point for
hypothesis generation or theory development.

III.

DETERMINATION. Determine if the description given below is a strength or weakness of a quantitative research. Write your
answer on the blank provided for.

1. The most reliable and valid way of concluding results, giving way to a new hypothesis or to disproving it.
___________________________ 2. Since, there are more respondents compared to qualitative research, the expenses will
be greater in reaching out to these people and in reproducing questionnaires. _______________________ 3. If not done
seriously and correctly, data from questionnaires may be incomplete and inaccurate. ____________________________ 4.
Standardized approaches allow the study to be replicated in different areas or over time with formulation of comparable
findings. _______________________________ 5. Quantitative experiments are useful for testing the results gained by a
series of qualitative experiments, leading to a final answer, and narrowing down of possible directions to follow.
_______________________________ 6. It is assumed that the larger the sample is, the more statistically accurate the
findings are. ________________________

7. Researchers must be on the look-out on respondents who are just guessing in answering the instrument.
______________________________ 8. It does not consider the distinct capacity of the respondents to share and elaborate
further information unlike the qualitative research. __________________________ 9. It is real and unbiased.
