EXERCISES OF RESEARCH METHODS


I. Were the following studies qualitative or quantitative? Tick the appropriate
box.
A teacher developed some innovative listening materials for low level learners. She used these
materials with a range of classes, and believed that they were significantly superior to the
traditional materials which were used in her school. However, her colleagues were skeptical.
Therefore, she carried out a study. She had two ways to collect data.
1. She surveyed the students through interviews and questionnaires, and obtained their
subjective impressions. In addition, she asked a colleague to become a participant observer in
her classroom and made a record of the teaching and learning going on.
If she collected data in this way, was her study qualitative  or quantitative ?
2. She randomly assigned the students to two groups. One group used the traditional materials
and the other group used the innovative materials. Besides, she gave the students two tests, a
pre-test and a post-test, to check both group at the beginning of the term as well as the end.
Then she compared the scores to test her hypothesis of the superiority of the innovative
materials.
If she collected data in this way, was her study qualitative  or quantitative ?
