APPENDIX C LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT TEST ON EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH METHODLOGY FINAL FORM Directions: There are 40 items in final form of the learning achievement test. Please read each statement carefully and then mark the option in the right margin whether you think it is 'True' or 'False'. 266 No. Questions 1. Research Methodology is a way to find out the result of a specific matter using different types of method for solving the problem. 2. Educational research is applied research which attempts to develop generalizations about teaching & learning processes and instructional materials. 3. Descriptive research involves the description, investigating, recording, analysis, and interpreting the events in the past. 4. Case study research method is an experimental research that involves an in-depth study of an individual or group of individuals. 5. In survey research method, respondents answer questions administered through interviews or questionnaires or rating scale or checklist. 6. Experimental research is a kind of research which describes what will happen when variables are carefully controlled or manipulated over all factors that may affect the results on the experiment. Answer True False
Continued 267 No. Questions 7. The purpose of experimental research is to predict events in the experiment setting and the ultimate purpose is to generalize the variable relationships. 8. In experimental research, the comparisons of groups (treatment and control groups) are design in order to find out the cause and effect. 9. Dependent variables are variables which are manipulated or controlled or changed. 10. Independent variables are the outcome variables and are the variables for which the researcher calculates statistics. 11. The dependent variable is the variable being affected by the independent variable. 12. Independent variables that are not related to the purpose of the study, but may affect the dependent variable are termed as extraneous variables. 13. Dependent variable refers to the status of the 'effect'(or outcome) in which the researcher is interested; the independent variable refers to the status of the presumed 'cause,' which lead to changes in the status of the dependent variable. 14. Hypothesis provides objectivity to the research activity and guides the researcher towards the direction in which the research should proceed. 15. In experimental research, the comparisons of groups (treatment and control groups) are design in order to find out the cause and effect. Answer True False
Continued 268 No. Questions 16. A null hypothesis always predicts the absence of a relationship between two variables. 17. The alternative hypothesis reflects that there will be an observed effect for the experiment or states an actual expectation. 18. Population is the area in which the researchers are trying to get information whereas sample is a section of population that the researchers are actually going to study. 19. A stratified random sample is a sampling technique in which the researcher divided the entire target population into different subgroups, or strata, and then randomly selects the final subjects proportionally from the different strata. 20. Sample is a group of individual persons, objects, or items from which samples are taken for measurement but population is a finite part of population whose properties are studied to gain information about the whole. 21. In random sampling, each individual is chosen entirely by chance and each member of the population has an equal chance, or probability, of being selected. 22. Cluster sampling is used when the sample is gained by the random selection of clusters from a list containing all of the clusters existing within a population. 23. In non-probability, the population does not have an equal chance of being selected; thus individual probabilities cannot be known. Answer True False
Continued 269 No. Questions 24. Convenience sampling is one type of probability which refers to the procedures of obtaining units or members who are most conveniently available 25. Questionnaire should be worded simply, completely and clearly, not ambiguous or vague, must be objective and attractive in appearance. 26. Rating scale is one of the enquiry forms which is a term applied to expression or judgment regarding some situation, object or character. 27. Likert scale is simply a statement which the respondent is asked to evaluate according to any kind of subjective or objective criteria; generally the level of agreement or disagreement is measured. 28. Thurstone scale is used to measure people's attitude towards a fairly clear and unidimensional concept, using a number of statements that vary in how they express a positive or negative opinion about the main concept. 29. Interview is the verbal conversation between two people where questions are asked by the interviewer to elicit facts from the interviewee with the objective of collecting relevant information. 30. Sociometry is a method used for discovery and manipulation of social configurations by measuring the attractions and repulsions between individuals in a group. Answer True False
Continued 270 No. Questions 31. An aptitude test is a test that attempt to measure what an individual has learned whereas an achievement test attempts to predict the capacities or the degree of achievement that may be expected from individuals in a particular activity. 32. Intelligence tests are psychological tests that design to measure a variety of mental functions, such as reasoning, comprehension, judgment, and idea of the person's intellectual potential. 33. Validity is an index of the degree to which a test measures what it purposes to measure, when compared with accepted criteria. 34. Construct validity approach concerns the degree to which the test measures the construct it was designed to measure. 35. Reliability refers to the consistency of scores obtained by the same individuals when re-examined with the same test on different occasion. 36. If a tool gives the same results on different occasions, of the abilities to whom it is applied, it is said to be validity. 37.

Answer True False
