ACTIVITY SHEETS

Module 4 – Lesson 1 Understanding Data and Ways to Collect Data (Research Design)
Instruction: Provide the correct answer of each item by choosing from the choices provided
below.
__________1. It is a research which is primarily expository.
__________2. It generates numerical data that can be transformed into usable statistics.
__________3. Here, the researcher immerses in the target participants’ environment to understand the
goals, cultures, challenges, motivations, and themes that emerge.
__________4. This approach weaves together a sequence of events, usually from just one or two
individuals to form a cohesive story.
__________5. This describes an event, activity, or phenomenon.
__________6. It provides an explanation or theory behind the events.
__________7. It involves a deep understanding through multiple types of data sources. Case studies
can be explanatory, exploratory, or describing an event.
__________It is used to develop your research question, which purpose is to explore how online tools
can help the dieting,
__________9. “How does a good everyday life come about when living with chronic rheumatic
conditions?” is what kind of qualitative research question?
__________10. “What are the attitudes of elderly people with stroke towards the daily use of assistive
devices and technologies?” is an example of what qualitative methodology?
__________11. Using this as the method of research, an organization conducting survey ask different
survey questions from the respondents using the various types like online surveys, online polls
paper questionnaires, etc and then collect data and analyze collected data in order to produce the
numerical results.
__________12. It is used to draw conclusions with respect to the cause and effect equation between
the two or more than two variables, where the one variable will be dependent on other variables
which will be independent.
__________13. This analysis is done for the purpose of proving or for disproving the statement. It is
generally used in the field of natural sciences or in the field of social sciences as in those areas
various statements are there which required to be proved as right or wrong.
__________14. This is conducted for establishing a relationship between the two closely associated
entities for knowing the impact of one on other and the changes which eventually observed. It is
carried for giving value to the naturally occurring relationships. For this research minimum, two
different groups will be required.
__________15. These are designed to uncover a respondent’s response towards a particular question
or variable.

Quarter 1: Module 4 – Lesson 2 Understanding Data and Ways to Collect Data (Population and
Sampling Method)

__________1. It is a process through which the researcher selects a portion or segment from the
population at the center of the researcher’s study.

__________2. It is a group of persons or objects that possess some common characteristics that are of
interest to the researcher, and about which the researcher seeks to learn more.

__________3. It is composed of the entire group of people or objects to which the researcher wishes to
generalize the findings of the study.

__________4. It is the portion of the population to which the researcher has reasonable access.
__________5. These are individuals or entities which serve as the focus of the study.

__________6. These are individuals or groups of people who actively serve as sources of information
during data collection.

__________7. It refers to subjects of the study who are not people.

__________8. It is the science concerned with developing and studying methods for collecting,
analyzing, interpreting and presenting empirical data.
__________9. It is a constant or variable in a function that determines the specific form of the function
but not its general nature.

__________10. It gives every individual in the target population an equal chance of being part of the
sample.

__________11. In this sampling, the researcher first divides the population into groups based on a
relevant characteristic and then selects participants within those groups.

__________12. In this sampling, the researcher uses their expert judgment to select participants that
are representative of the population.

__________13. In this sampling, the sample is selected in multiple steps, or stages.

__________14. It is the most commonly used method of random sampling, whereby you divide the total
population by the sample size and arrive at a figure which becomes the sampling interval for selection.
__________15. In this sampling, the sample selection follows a particular set of conditions and is
generally used in studies where the sample needs to be collected based on a specific characteristic of
the population.

Quarter 1: Module 4- Lesson 3 Understanding Data and Ways to Collect Data (Data Collection
Procedure)

____________1. It is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an

established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses,
and evaluate outcomes.

____________2. These are used to collect data from a small group of subjects on a broad range of
topics. You can use structured or unstructured interviews. Structured interviews are comparable to a
questionnaire, with the same questions in the same order for each subject and with multiple choice
answers

____________3. It is the main instrument for collecting data in survey research. Basically, it is a set of
standardized questions, often called items, which follow a fixed scheme in order to collect individual
data about one or more specific topics. Sometimes questionnaires are confused with interviews.
____________4. It is a qualitative research technique where researchers observe participants' ongoing
behavior in a natural situation. Depending on the type of observation research and the goal of the study,
the market researcher will have varying levels of participation in the study.

____________5. It is a necessary skill for any individual. Data is used in a variety of situations, such as
writing up research reports in school, finding a specific item or getting necessary information for a job.
Regardless of the reason for the data, there are similar tools used to find information and collect data.
____________6. It can collect a wide range of data in a short period of time. A simple search through a
search engine will result in several websites that are useful for data collection.

___________7. These are an excellent data collection tool. These are useful in businesses, mental
health studies, school projects or any other data collection that requires information from a large
number of people.

___________8. These are a data collection method that is used to gain information about a specific
subject. Interviews are commonly given to experts in a specific field, such as interviewing a psychologist
that specializes in children’s mental health when collecting data about a childhood mental health
problem. Interviews are commonly used by news reporters to gain first-hand information about a
specific story.

___________9. This is first-hand data rather than second-hand data from another source. This includes
specific items that are measured, seen or that others can reproduce.

___________10. These are a primary tool for data collection. While old books might have outdated
information, even old books are used for historical studies or data collection. There are books available
about any subject that ranges from mythology to history to science and math.

____________11. These group’s participants belong to a group that exists independently of the study.
____________12. It is quantitative in nature, and make use of ratings or numerical rankings.
____________13. This is more qualitative, and allow more general descriptive documents.
____________14. It precedes data collection, its main focus is 'prevention' (i.e., forestalling problems
with data collection). Prevention is the most cost-effective activity to ensure the integrity of data
collection. These includes activities that take place before data collection begins
 ____________15. It occurs during and after data collection, the details should be carefully documented
in the procedures manual. A clearly defined communication structure is a necessary pre-condition for
establishing monitoring systems. These include activities that take place during and after data collection.
