Match the following : Codes : (a) (b) (c) (d)List I List II (a) Research based on futuristic opinions of panel of experts. (i) Case study (b) Research leading to generalization based on samples. (ii) Experimental (c) Indepth research based on data collected by using multiple tools and techniques. (iii) Survey (d) A research carried to test ‘cause effect relationship’. (iv) Delphi
(iv) (iii) (i) (ii)
Each description in List I matches one research method in List II.
The pairs are justified below.
| List I (Description) | List II (Method) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Futuristic opinions of a panel of experts | (iv) Delphi | Developed at RAND in the 1950s; experts give forecasts over several anonymous rounds until consensus emerges. |
| (b) Generalisation based on samples | (iii) Survey | Data from a representative sample are used to generalise to the whole population. |
| (c) In-depth study using multiple tools and techniques | (i) Case study | A single unit (person, library, institution) is studied intensively using interviews, observation, documents, etc. |
| (d) Testing a cause–effect relationship | (ii) Experimental | The independent variable is manipulated under control to observe its effect on the dependent variable. |
So the code is (a)–(iv), (b)–(iii), (c)–(i), (d)–(ii).
Hence, the answer is (iv) (iii) (i) (ii).
There are two sets given below. Set-I specifies the types of research, while Set-II indicates their characteristics. Match the two and give your answer by selecting the appropriate code.
Set-I (Research Types)
(a) Fundamental research
(b) Applied research
(c) Action research
(d) Evaluative research
Set-II (Characteristics)
(i) Finding out the extent of perceived impact of an intervention
(ii) Developing an effective explanation through theory building
(iii) Improving an existing situation through use of interventions
(iv) Exploring the possibility of a theory for use in various situations
Code : (a) (b) (c) (d)
In-depth study and evaluation of available information in an attempt to explain complex phenomena is known as :
Match Column-I with Column-II :
