NAME: ________________________________GRADE & SECTION: _______________ DATE: _______

I. Write the word true if the statement is true and write the word false if the statement is false. (1 point each)
_____1. Nonexperimental research designs embody a group of techniques used to conduct quantitative research
where there is manipulation done to any variable in the study.
_____2. Comparative research is appropriate to answer the following research questions including “Is there a
significant relationship in the level of COVID-19 awareness between grades 11 and 12 students?
_____3. The purpose of comparative studies is to describe, and interpret, the current status of individuals, settings,
conditions, or events (Mertler, 2014).
_____4. The purpose of descriptive studies is to discover, and then possibly measure, relationships between two or
more variables.
_____5. True experimental research designs do not involve the random assignment of participants to treatment
conditions (Gay et al., 2009).
_____6. In the discipline of social inquiry, the purpose of the research is to investigate methods or approaches that
enhance one’s creativity.
_____7. To discover new interventions and assess existing programs with a common goal, to increase the
performance of the learners are the goals of research in business.
_____8. Variable is anything that doesn’t change (Shukla, 2018).
_____9. Independent variable refers to the one that may be affected by the cause.
_____10. Dependent variable refers to those variables that do not change as an effect of the changes brought by the
other variable.
