Research Methodology MCQS

This document provides 30 multiple choice questions that assess understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative research relies on participants' perspectives, allows the researcher to decide what to study, gathers non-numeric data like words and images, aims to understand phenomena descriptively, and uses flexible structures. Quantitative research relies on predetermined variables, gathers numeric data like statistics, aims to make predictions and identify causes, uses standardized fixed structures, and generalizes to larger populations. Both approaches have benefits and limitations depending on the research question and goals.
