Which of the following is NOT a limitation of quantitative research methods in education?

  1. They can be expensive and time-consuming to conduct

  2. They can only be used to study large groups of people

  3. They can only be used to study objective phenomena

  4. They can only be used to study subjective phenomena


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Quantitative research methods can be used to study both objective and subjective phenomena, as long as the data is in a numerical format.

What is the main limitation of qualitative research methods in education?

  1. They can be difficult to generalize to a larger population

  1. Lack of access to technology and resources

  2. Transportation difficulties

  3. Cultural and linguistic diversity

  4. Availability of qualified researchers


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Availability of qualified researchers is not typically a challenge associated with conducting educational research in rural areas, as there is often a large pool of potential researchers with the necessary skills and knowledge.

What is the main limitation of experimental research in education?

  1. It can be difficult to control all of the variables that might affect the results

  2. It can be expensive and time-consuming to conduct

  3. It can only be used to study short-term effects

  4. All of the above

  3. Lack of access to technology and resources

  4. Availability of qualified researchers


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Availability of qualified researchers is not typically a challenge associated with conducting educational research in urban areas, as there is often a large pool of potential researchers with the necessary skills and knowledge.

What is the main limitation of correlational research in education?

  1. It cannot be used to establish cause-and-effect relationships

  2. It can be difficult to control for all of the variables that might affect the results

  3. It can only be used to study short-term effects

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above options are limitations of correlational research in education, as they can make it difficult to draw conclusions that are valid and reliable.
