1 .		The idea proposed by Campbell and Fiske by which researchers seek to collect more than one measure on more than one variable results in what methodologists call: [Hint]   mixed-modal approach.   mixed methods approach.   multitrait, multimethod matrix.   mixed factorial design.
2 .		One of the features that a mixed methods design can provide is: [Hint]   reliability.   validity.   triangulation.   reduced sampling error.
3 .		Which of the following is NOT a central component of mixed methods research? [Hint]   collecting both quantitative and qualitative data   analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data   mixing both quantitative and qualitative data   using quantitative and qualitative data in a single study
4 .		Those who embrace what the text refers to as a "dialectic" position with respect to the worldview-method debate would be more likely to make which of the following statements about what a researcher should do? [Hint]   It's important to identify the research problem before data collection.   Whatever works in terms of data collection is probably the best solution.   The idea of a worldview-methods clash is mistaken and incoherent.   Make your worldview known and honor the worldviews you use.
5 .		Ottawa County, Michigan, is interested in the issues of parent-child communication regarding underage drinking. To assess the intervention they created, they conducted a focus group with high school students to solicit their opinions about the issue of underage drinking. They then used the responses from this focus group to create a survey questionnaire, which they administered by phone to parents of high school students. What type of mixed methods design does this most closely resemble? [Hint]   triangulation design   exploratory design   explanatory design   repeated measures design
6 .		A school district conducts a parent survey and finds overwhelming dissatisfaction with the item addressing parent-teacher communication. Since the survey showed only percentages of responses on a 5-point scale, the district contracts with a research organization to conduct follow-up focus groups to identify the source of the problem. What type of mixed methods design does this most closely resemble? [Hint]   triangulation design   exploratory design   explanatory design   repeated measures design
7 .		That one methodology has strengths to complement the weaknesses of another methodology is the assumption underlying which type of mixed methods design? [Hint]   triangulation design   unbiased design   explanatory design   repeated measures design
8 .		The precedence of quantitative data as a second phase in the flow of research is evident in the use of a(n) _____ design. [Hint]   triangulation   exploratory   explanatory   repeated measures
9 .		Which of the following features makes a mixed methods design the most useful? [Hint]   concern over reliability and validity of measurement   concern over both process and outcome   when qualitative research needs are high, but resources are available   unclear who the audience for the research will be
10 .		A popular approach to the analysis of data from an explanatory design is to: [Hint]   use the quantitative analysis to select individuals with modal or mean scores for qualitative follow-up.   reconcile seeming contradictions in quantitative data with qualitative methods.   use the quantitative analysis to identify an extreme case for qualitative follow-up.   b and c
11 .		A most popular use of the exploratory design is for: [Hint]   instrument generation.   theory confirmation.   outlier detection.   triangulation.
12 .		In order to determine whether a mixed methods design is feasible (Step 1 in the process), the text suggests considering all of the following EXCEPT: [Hint]   potential audience.   time.   priority of quantitative over qualitative.   research skills.
13 .		Which of the following considerations should be taken into account when deciding on a data collection strategy in a mixed methods design (Step 3 in the process)? [Hint]   potential audience   priority of quantitative vs. qualitative data   type of analysis   degree of integration in written report
14 .		A two-phase mixed methods design is characterized by: [Hint]   separate data collection procedures for qualitative and quantitative components   separate reporting of quantitative and qualitative components in the final report   clear presence of a literature review before both components   two Methods sections, but only one Results section   both the first and second choices
15 .		The issue of objectivity vs. subjectivity of the phenomenon under study addresses the issue of _____ in educational research. [Hint]   worldview   design   analysis   compatibility
16 .		The term compatibility refers to: [Hint]   the convergence of qualitative and quantitative findings.   whether one's beliefs must be consonant with a particular research method.   qualitative researchers who train themselves to quantitative research and vice versa.   the resolution of the objective-subjective debate in social research methods.
17 .		A person who believes that religious beliefs transcend all aspects of one's life, and therefore religious education is essential at all grade levels, is highlighting the importance of: [Hint]   compatibility.   worldview.   integration.   false dichotomy.
18 .		exploratory : triangulation :: [Hint]   sequential : simultaneous   simultaneous : sequential   follow-up : convergent   convergent : follow-up
19 .		The historical development of mixed method designs is currently at a stage where there is: [Hint]   initial interest in certain forms of quantitative data in educational research.   expansion to include both quantitative and qualitative forms of research.   debate about the role of worldview in method selection.   advocacy for a set of distinct mixed methods procedures.
20 .		The goal of Cambell and Fiske's multimethod, multitrait approach is to: [Hint]   increase reliability.   establish qualitative methods.   develop behavioral measures.   find strong correlations between data collection techniques.
