MIXED

Which instrument is commonly used for qualitative data collection?. Interviews. Numerical tables. Multiple choice test only. Closed surveys.

Which is a strength of quantitative research?. Objective measurement of variables. Flexible interview responses. Personal interpretations. Deep narrative explanations only.

Transformative perspectives in research often focus on: Statistical significance only. Social justice and marginalized groups. Economic forecasting exclusively. Laboratory experimentation.

What is a key characteristic of triangulation design?. One method is excluded. Qualitative and quantitative data are often collected concurrently. Statistical analysis is unnecessary. Data are collected years apart.

Which of the following best describes a transformative perspective?. It ignores social issues. It focuses solely on numerical data. It seeks to empower participants and address inequities. It avoids theoretical frameworks.

Mixed methods purpose statements often emphasize: Only numerical findings. To separate quantitative findings. To combine qualitative and quantitative data. To eliminate statistical analysis.

Which approach best represents explanatory design?. Qual → Quan. Quan → Qual. Qual + Quan (simultaneously). Quan → Quan only.

What is embedded mixed methods design used for?. Combining surveys and results research questions. Collecting data over five months. Embedding one type of data within the other. Excluding qualitative data analysis.

What type of data is collected in qualitative research?. Audio recordings. Numerical tables. Statistical tests. Measured experiments.

What is a challenge in mixed methods research. Collecting only one type of information. Demanding extensive resources and time. Avoiding participant opinions. Requiring different types of data.

Data analysis in quantitative research often involves ______. observing participants. interpreting stories only. coding narratives only. calculating statistics.

What is the primary purpose of the qualitative phase in a sequential exploratory design?. To test a new hypothesis. To replace quantitative findings. To minimize statistical data. To explore or elaborate quantitative results.

The sequential explanatory design is characterized by which sequence of data collection?. Experimental data followed by observational data. Qualitative data followed by quantitative data. Qualitative and quantitative data collected simultaneously. Quantitative data followed by qualitative data.

What is informed consent?. Permission obtained after data collection. A statistical procedure. Agreement by participants after receiving adequate information about the study. Approval from a journal editor.

What does theorizing perspectives in mixed methods research primarily involve?. Avoiding philosophical assumptions. Selecting computer software. Increasing sample size. Using a theoretical lens to guide research design and interpretation.

In an embedded design, one type of data plays a: Supporting role within a larger design. Statistical role only. Completely independent role. Contradictory role.

Which of the following is an example of ethical research practice?. Plagiarizing previous research. Fabricating data to support a hypothesis. Obtaining informed consent from participants. Hiding study risks from participants.

Which step involves choosing participants for the study?. Conclusion writing. Literature review. Sampling. Data analysis.

In a concurrent triangulation design, qualitative and quantitative data are collected: Only during the interpretation phase. Simultaneously. At different stages of the study. One after the other.

Which question investigates participants' opinions?. How do students feel about virtual classes?. What percentage passed the exam?. How many students attended class?. How often are classes offered?.

Why is confidentiality important in research?. It eliminates researcher bias. It guarantees positive results. It increases sample size. It protects participants' private information.
