THESIS 2 - Midterm Quiz 1
Question 1
Correct
Cohort studies can end up taking a long time to complete if the researcher must wait for the conditions of interest to develop within the
group.
Select one:
a. Maybe
b. False
c. True
Question 2
Correct
The new interventional strategies are carried out, and the cyclic process repeats, continuing until a sufficient understanding of or implement
able solution for the problem is not achieved.
Select one:
a. Maybe
b. False
c. True
Select one:
a. True
b. False
c. Maybe
Question 4
Correct
The cyclic nature of action research to achieve its twin outcomes of action and research is time-consuming and complex to conduct.
Select one:
a. False
b. True
c. Maybe
The essentials of action research design do not follow a characteristic cycle whereby initially an exploratory stance is adopted, where an
understanding of a problem is developed and plans are made for some form of interventionary strategy.
Select one:
a. False
b. Maybe
c. True
Question 6
Correct
The protocol is not iterative or not cyclical in nature and is intended to foster deeper understanding of a given situation, starting with
conceptualizing and particularizing the problem and moving through several interventions and evaluations.
Select one:
a. False
b. True
c. Maybe
A single or small number of cases offers little basis for establishing reliability or to generalize the findings to a wider population of people,
places, or things.
Select one:
a. True
b. Maybe
c. False
Question 8
Correct
The intervention is not carried out the action in Action Research during which time, pertinent observations are collected in various forms.
Select one:
a. False
b. True
c. Maybe
Action research is much harder to write up because you probably can’t use a standard format to report your findings effectively.
Select one:
a. True
b. Maybe
c. False
Question 10
Correct
It is harder to do than conducting conventional studies because the researcher takes on responsibilities for encouraging change as well as for
research.
Select one:
a. Maybe
b. True
c. False
Question 11
Correct
However, even though two variables might be causally related, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which variable comes first and
therefore to establish which variable is the actual cause and which is the actual effect.
Select one:
a. Maybe
b. False
c. True
Select one:
a. False
b. True
c. Maybe
Question 13
Correct
Conclusions about causal relationships are difficult to determine due to a variety of extraneous and confounding variables that exist in a
social environment. This means causality can only be inferred, never proven.
Select one:
a. True
b. False
c. Maybe
The intense exposure to study of the case may bias a researcher's interpretation of the findings.
Select one:
a. False
b. Maybe
c. True
Question 15
Correct
If two variables are correlated, the cause must come before the effect.
Select one:
a. True
b. Maybe
c. False
The case may not be representative or typical of the larger problem being investigated.
Select one:
a. False
b. Maybe
c. True
Question 17
Correct
Select one:
a. Maybe
b. True
c. False
Question 18
Correct
The possibility always exists that, by sheer coincidence, two unrelated events appear to be related .
Select one:
a. True
b. False
c. Maybe
If the criteria for selecting a case is because it represents a very unusual or unique phenomenon or problem for study, then your
interpretation of the findings can only apply to that particular case.
Select one:
a. False
b. True
c. Maybe
Question 20
Correct
The function of a research design is to ensure that the evidence obtained enables you to effectively address the research problem as
unambiguously impossible.
Select one:
a. True
b. False
c. Maybe
