Here are the answers to the questions:
1. In research, we systematically gather information to increase our understanding of phenomena and answer questions. The main things we do in research are: define a problem or question, review existing literature on the topic, develop a research design, collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings. The overall goal is to contribute new knowledge.
2. Research is extremely important in our daily lives. Many of the technologies, medicines, materials and other innovations we rely on exist because of prior research. Research also helps address societal challenges and improve policies and practices. On an individual level, research helps us make informed decisions in areas like health, education, consumer products and more. Even simple daily activities

6. The quantitative research is concerned with cause-and-effect relationship.
a. Non-experimental design c. Correlation design b. Experimental design d. Survey research
7. This type of qualitative research describes experiences as they lived.
a. Ethnography c. Historical b. Phenomenology d. Case study
8. An abstract form _______ or idea, often conveyed on a single word which serves as a springboard or building blocks of theory. a. Theory c. Framework b. Concept d. Paradigm
9. A method of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method of inquiry to enrich the system of objective knowledge in the field of natural and social sciences. a. Discipline c. Theory b. Research d. Model
10. A quantitative research design that makes you behave as a scientist is _______________. a. survey research b. case study c. experimental design d. correlative study.
Task 2. TRUE or FALSE. Write QUANTITATIVE before the item when the sentence is true while QUALITATIVE if the statement is false. _________________________1. In quantitative research, researchers know in advance what they are looking for.
_________________________2. Quantitative research can be easily misinterpreted because it provides numerical
data.
_________________________3. Quantitative research puts emphasis on proof, rather than discovery.
_________________________4. Normative research is conducted by researcher whose aim would be to find out the direction and/or relationship between different variables or group of respondents under study.
_________________________5. Qualitative research requires a large number of respondents. It assumes that the larger the sample is , the more statistically accurate the findings are.
_________________________6. Evaluation describes the status of a phenomenon at a particular time. It describe
without value judgment a situation that prevents.
_________________________7. Correlational is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction and/or relationship between different variables or group of respondents under study.
_________________________8.Methodological is the implementation of a variety of methodologies that forms a
critical part of achieving the goal of developing a scaled-matched approach, where data from the different disciplines can be integrated.
_________________________9. One characteristics of quantitative research is that its method can be repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus, reinforcing validity findings.
_________________________10. In quantitative experiments it filters out external factors, if properly designed, and so the results gained can be seen, as real and unbiased.
Task 3. Identification: Identify whether the following statements can be classified as RESEARCH or PROBLEM SOLVING. Write your answer on the space provided.
_________________________1. There may not be a problem to be solved, only to satisfy the query.
_________________________2. It is concerned with the recurrent phenomena and wide application.
_________________________3. The research problem is not necessarily defined specifically.
_________________________4. It is conducted to make contribution to general knowledge.
_________________________5. Once the problem is solved, that is the end of it.
