What is qualitative research?

Qualitative research focuses on description, characteristics, and quality of a phenomenon.

What does quantitative research emphasize?

What does descriptive research do?

What are the criteria for research questions?

Research questions must be specific, focused, researchable, and based on the thesis statement.

What is the purpose of an outline in a research paper?

An outline organizes the structure of the research paper and helps in logically presenting information.

What is the significance of the study?

The significance of the study identifies the beneficiaries of the research or stakeholders.

What does the conceptual framework demonstrate?

The conceptual framework shows the researcher’s assumptions, variables, and relationships, often presented in a diagram.

What is a null hypothesis?

A null hypothesis (H₀) states that there is no relationship between the variables.

What should a statement of the problem include?

A statement of the problem should include the main problem and specific sub-problems that are clear, measurable, and researchable.

What is included in the preliminaries of a research paper?

Title page, approval sheet, acknowledgment, dedication, table of contents, list of tables/figures, and abstract.

What is an abstract in a research paper?

What is the purpose of a literature review?

A literature review identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes existing research on a topic, providing context and identifying gaps.
