Answer 1

31. Which of the following conditions for establishing causality are contained in the case study below?

A study was conducted to establish whether there is a relationship between the number of hours involved in studies per week and examination results. The students were divided into two groups based on whether the study more or less than 10 hours per week. At the end of the academic year; the examination results of the two groups were compared. The findings revealed that those students who studied more than 10 hours per week performed better than those students who studied for shorter periods?a.temporal order

b.association between variables

c.elimination of alternatives

d.logical reasoning

The answer is a and b

22. Which of the following statements regarding the nature of theory are correct?

a. A scientific theory does not need any facts to back it up to be a variable theory

b. Theories consist of relationships between concepts that provide explanations for phenomena

c. Theoretical development often occurs in order to keep pace with a changing world

d. Once a theory has been confirmed, one does not need to return to it to check its continued acceptability

The answer is b,c,d

33. In qualitative research the coding of categories is:

1. systematically developed before data is considered

2.developed as the research progresses

3.only developed once all the data has been collected

4.used to quantify the data

The role of coding in qualitative data analysis. Data analysis is the most difficult and most crucial aspect of qualitative research. Coding is one of the significant steps taken during analysis to organize and make sense of textual data. After collecting the data, that need to quantify it so it can be analyzed.

So here the answer is 3,4

34. Which one of the following statements best describes the essence of qualitative data analysis?

1. In qualitative data analysis, a flexible picture of meaning is constructed over time

2. Data is categorized and presented to a larger population to give their opinion on the findings

3. Meaning is attached to data and then submitted for analysis

4. Meaning are only identified in the second level of analysis

The correct answer is '3'

35. What distinguishes theoretical literature from empirical literature?

1. The empirical literature is published, theoretical literature is unpublished

2.Empirical literature is research-based, theoretical literature is not research-based.

3.Empirical literature is derived from applied research, theoretical literature is derived from basic research

4.Empirical literature provides the framework for the research study, theoretical literature provides the information from which the researcher identifies a gap.

The answer is 2
