Pedagogy MCQs Research Methodology MCQs
A.
30 subjects
B.
40 subjects
C.
50 subjects
D.
55 subjects
Correct answer is:
A. 30 subjects
Explanation:
A minimum of 30 subjects is acceptable in correlational research for statistical power.
Pedagogy MCQs Research Methodology MCQs
A.
Longitudinal Survey
B.
Cross-sectional survey
C.
Both A and B
D.
None of these
Correct answer is:
B. Cross-sectional survey
Explanation:
Cross-sectional surveys
Collect data from a population at a specific point in time. This type of study is often used to examine the relationships between different variables within a population at a specific time. Cross-sectional studies are quick to conduct and cost-effective. They are often used in developmental psychology, social science, and education.
Longitudinal surveys
Collect data from the same sample over an extended period of time. This type of study allows researchers to track their subjects in real-time, which can help them better determine the order of events and understand cause-and-effect relationships

Pedagogy MCQs Research Methodology MCQs
A.
Trend surveys and Cohort surveys
B.
Panel surveys and follow up surveys
C.
Both A and B
D.
None of these
Correct answer is:
C. Both A and B
Explanation:
Longitudinal survey studies can be classified as both trend surveys and cohort surveys, and panel surveys:
Trend surveys: A type of longitudinal survey that studies trends over time
Cohort surveys: A type of longitudinal survey that samples a group of people who share a common characteristic, such as birth or graduation
Panel surveys: A type of longitudinal survey that follows a smaller group of people over time
Longitudinal studies can be either prospective or retrospective in nature. They can be expensive and time-consuming, as it can take a long time to collect and analyze the data.
