What is the primary purpose of conducting an extensive literature survey in research?
To gather information related to the research problem
What is the primary difference between a scientific theory and a hypothesis?
Hypothesis is a testable prediction while a theory is a well supported explanation
Is scientist observes that plants grow taller when exposed to more sunlight what is the next logical step in the scientific method?
Develop a hypothesis about the effect of suddenly plant growth
What is the purpose of extensive literature survey in research?
Before determining the sample design
Before formulating the research problem
After collecting the data
After preparing the research design
Why is it essential to consider the “magnitude” of a research problem before committing to it?
To guarantee the availability of all necessary resources for the study
To avoid selecting a topic that is too biased and unimaginable
To measure if the research can be easily completed within a short time frame
To ensure the research topic is relevant to the researcher’s professional interests:
Why is it important to consider the “level of expertise” of potential research supervisors when selecting a research problem?
To ensure the research is aligned with the supervisor’s area of expertise and support
Which of the following is not a core principle of the scientific method?
A. Observation and questioning
B. Forming a hypothesis
C. Testing hypothesis through experimentation
D. Relying solely on beliefs
Relying solely on beliefs
What is the purpose of developing working hypothesis in research?
The guide the researcher and the limit the research area
How does the “measurement of concepts” contribute to the rigor of quantitative research?

What is the first step in research process?
Formulating the research problem
What operation are involved in the analysis of data and research?
Coding and tabulation
What is the purpose of generalization and interpretation in research?
To explain findings and arrive at conclusion
If a hypothesis is repeated detested and supported by evidence, what is the next logical step in the scientific process?
The hypothesis is refined and further tested with new experiments.
Which of the following is “NOT” a key consideration when evaluating the “magnitude” of a research problem?
The researchers personal interest in the topic
Why is it important for scientific findings to be reproducible?
To confirm the validity of the results
What is the primary reason for carefully considering “ethical issues” at the problem formulation stage?
To ensure the research is conducted in a way that minimizes potential harm to participants
Why is it crucial to consider the “availability of data” when selecting a research problem?
To confirm that the necessary information is accessible and in a suitable format
How is a hypothesis tested in research?
By conducting experiments
Through personal interviews
Through statistical tests
By analyzing the data
A researcher is studying the effectiveness of a new educational program for improving that there is skills and children. Which factor is most relevant to determining if this problem is researchable?
The program's effectiveness can be measured using standardized tests
What is the significance of executing the project in research?
To ensure systematic and timely completion
What is the role of peer review in the scientific process?
To provide feedback and criticism of research findings
When is selecting a research problem? Why is it important to assess your “level of expertise”?
To ensure you have the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct the research
Which step in the research process involves summarizing the research findings and presenting them in a clear and organized manner?
Preparation of the report or the thesis
Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between a researchable problem and its potential solutions
A problem is researchable if it has potential solutions that require further investigation or testing
Which of the following is not a crucial factor in determining if a problem is researchable
The problem has already been extensively, researched and understood
How is sample design determined in research?
By selecting a subset of the population
Which methods can be used to collect primary data through a survey
Through personal interviews and mailing of questionnaires
Why is the execution of the project considered important in the research process?
To ensure systematic and timely completion
What is the primary concern regarding the “measurement of concepts” in quantitative research?
Clearly defining the indicators and measurement methods for each concept
In the scientific method, what is the purpose of testing a hypothesis?
To gather evidence that supports or refutes the hypothesis
A researcher is interested in studying the impact of social media on mental health. What factor is least relevant to determining if this problem is researchable?
The researchers personal interest in the topic
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates a problem that is not researchable?
