Signature of Parent:___________ Score:___________________
CHARACTERISTICS, STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & CONSTRUCTS AND
VARIABLES IN RESEARCH
TEST I. Directions: On the space provided before each item, write YES if the statement is True and NO if it is
False.
_________1. Quantitative research is a systematic investigation of observable natural phenomena where the
researcher gathers quantitative or numerical data and subjects them to statistical methods.
_________2. Expressions like numerical forms, objective thinking, statistical methods, and measurement
signal the existence of qualitative research.
_________3. Population constitutes the persons who participate in human subject research by being the target
of observation by researchers.
_________4. “How much”, “How many”, “What is” are question words that ask for specific answers.
_________5. Being objective is excluding your own thoughts and feelings about the subject or object.
_________6. Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and
presentation of masses of numerical data.
_________7. Data-gathering techniques are less demanding is a strength of qualitative research.
_________8. Quantitative research provides findings that are generizable to a large population.
_________9. Responses of participants are strictly limited to what has been asked is a strength of quantitative
research.
_________10. Quantitative research has more flexibility in terms of study design.
_________11. Constructs are mental abstractions derived from the combination of concepts, or your mental
representation of the world around you.
_________12. Variables are constructs that can be understood differently because of their differences in values.
_________13. Variables can be observed directly.
_________14. Dependent Variables are those that are affected by independent variables or simply the
responses or effects that result from the treatment or conditions employed.
_________15. Independent Variables are variables that are kept the same which can cause a change in another
variable.
TEST II. Directions: Read each statement carefully. Encircle the letter of the correct option to answer each
question. For items with blanks, write your answer on the space provided for. (2 pts
each)
CHARACTERISTICS, STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
16-17. 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. Method 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, relationship
or differences among variables.
D. It seeks to gather a more comprehensive understanding of activities related to human behavior and
the attributes that rule such behavior.
18-19. 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. Figures, tables or graphs showcase summarized data collection in order to show trends, relationship
or differences among variables.
