Question 1 of 5
Define Research.
Why: The answer provides a complete definition (first sentence), followed by key characteristics (systematic, logical, etc.), an example (surveys in social sciences), and a concluding statement on its purpose. This meets the 50-80 word requirement for 1-2 mark short answer while being exam-ready for full marks.
Question 2 of 5
What are the characteristics of a good research question? Explain with examples.
Why: The response includes an introduction, 3 numbered key points with bolded headings and examples, and a conclusion. It exceeds 50-80 words for full marks in a short answer question.
Question 3 of 5
Name two tools commonly used for data collection in research design.
Why: The answer lists the two tools, explains each with examples, and includes a comparative concluding point. It meets word requirements and structure for full marks.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following best defines a research question?
A. A broad statement of the research problem
B. A guiding inquiry concerning what the study seeks to explore or uncover
C. A testable prediction derived from theory
D. A description of data collection methods
A A. A broad statement of the research problem
B B. A guiding inquiry concerning what the study seeks to explore or uncover
C C. A testable prediction derived from theory
D D. A description of data collection methods
Why: A research question serves as the foundation for the investigation, acting as a guiding inquiry into what the study aims to explore[3]. Option C describes a hypothesis, not a research question. Option A is too vague, and D relates to methods. Thus, B is correct as it matches the definition directly from sources.
Question 5 of 5
Descriptive research questions are primarily concerned with:
A. Establishing cause-and-effect relationships
B. Gathering quantifiable data about attributes and characteristics
C. Comparing differences between multiple variables
D. Testing predefined hypotheses
A A. Establishing cause-and-effect relationships
B B. Gathering quantifiable data about attributes and characteristics
C C. Comparing differences between multiple variables
D D. Testing predefined hypotheses
Why: Descriptive research questions seek to reveal existing patterns in the nature of research subjects by gathering quantifiable data on attributes, without focusing on causation[2]. Option A relates to causal questions, C to comparative, and D to confirmatory. B accurately captures the definition.
