20 of 51 cards from the Physical Education - Class VIII deck — real questions with worked answers.
What is the definition of research?
Research is a systematic, objective and logical process of inquiry that uses scientific methods to discover new facts, verify existing knowledge, and establish relationships among variables to solve problems.
State four points highlighting the importance of research in Physical Education.
It (1) advances knowledge and theory, (2) improves teaching, coaching and training methods, (3) solves practical problems in sport and fitness, and (4) provides an evidence base for policy and program decisions.
On the basis of purpose/utility, how is research classified?
Into (1) Basic/Fundamental/Pure research (develops theory and general knowledge) and (2) Applied research (solves immediate practical problems), with Action research as a third applied type.
On the basis of approach/method, what are the three main types of research?
Descriptive (Survey) research, Historical research, and Experimental research.
Differentiate between basic (pure) and applied research.
Basic research aims to expand knowledge and build theory without immediate application; applied research aims to solve specific, practical problems and produce usable results in a real setting.
What is action research?
A type of applied research conducted by practitioners (e.g., a teacher or coach) on their own setting to immediately improve their practice and solve a local problem, typically on a small scale.
Distinguish qualitative from quantitative research.
Quantitative research deals with numerical data and statistical analysis to test hypotheses; qualitative research deals with non-numerical data (words, observations) to explore meanings, experiences and processes in depth.
List four major ethical issues a researcher must address when studying human subjects.
Informed consent, confidentiality/anonymity, voluntary participation with right to withdraw, and avoidance of harm (physical or psychological) to participants.
What is 'informed consent' in research ethics?
The voluntary agreement of a participant to take part after being fully told the purpose, procedures, risks, benefits and their right to withdraw at any time without penalty.
Name four forms of research misconduct/dishonesty.
Plagiarism, fabrication of data, falsification of data, and misrepresentation/improper authorship (and unauthorized duplicate publication).
Define plagiarism.
Presenting another person's ideas, words, data or work as one's own without proper acknowledgement or citation.
Distinguish fabrication from falsification of data.
Fabrication is inventing data or results that were never collected; falsification is manipulating, altering or omitting real data so results are misrepresented.
What is descriptive research?
Research that describes and interprets the present status of conditions, practices or characteristics as they exist, without manipulating variables (it answers 'what is').
List four common types/methods of descriptive research.
Survey studies, case studies, developmental (growth/longitudinal and cross-sectional) studies, correlational studies, and documentary/content analysis studies.
Differentiate longitudinal and cross-sectional developmental studies.
Longitudinal studies follow the same subjects over a long period; cross-sectional studies compare different age groups at one point in time to infer developmental trends.
What is the normative survey method?
A descriptive method that gathers data from a sample to determine the prevailing norms, status or standard conditions of a group at a given time.
What is historical research?
The systematic collection, verification and analysis of past records and evidence to describe, explain and interpret events of the past in order to understand the present and anticipate the future.
Distinguish primary from secondary sources in historical research.
Primary sources are original, first-hand evidence (documents, relics, eyewitness accounts); secondary sources are second-hand accounts written by people who did not directly witness the events.
Differentiate external from internal criticism in historical research.
External criticism establishes the genuineness/authenticity of a source (is it real?); internal criticism evaluates the accuracy, meaning and trustworthiness of its contents (is it true?).
What is experimental research?
Research in which the investigator deliberately manipulates one or more independent variables under controlled conditions to observe their effect on dependent variables and establish cause-and-effect relationships.
