Etc.
100
The impact the presence of the observer may have on his/her subjects’ behavior
What is Observer Bias
100
This is one major difference between qualitative and quantitative research
What is no scientific method; what is the nature of reality; what is the role of the researcher
100
The equivalent of reliability and validity in qualitative research; the first part of what happens when a dead body begins to get stiff
What is Rigor (Rigor-mortis)
100
People were sampled because they were there and warm bodies
What is convenience sampling
100
The type of methodology that is used in action research (trick question!)
What is quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods
200
The impact that observers’ expectations about the study can have on his/her observation
What is Observer Expectation (Bias)
200
A method that is used in qualitative research to analyze the data (we studied this one extensively)
What is emergent themes or grounded theory
200
Asking participants in the research if they feel that the data analysis and conclusions are accurate
What is a member check
200
Sampling people the researcher feels will suit the purpose of the research
What is purposive sampling
200
The notes the researcher takes throughout data collection that reflect the specific question, reflective and descriptive notes, how data is categorized or coded, and any themes that emerge during data collection
What is an audit trail
300
One way you can reduce observer bias effect
What is spending time in the environment; developing rapport
300
The purpose of qualitative research; the German word Verstehen
What is Understanding
300
The reason Type I and Type II errors are not concerns in qualitative research
What is the lack of statistical analysis
300
Subjects are selected because they represent the extreme ends of the population
What is maximal variation
300
Notes of what occurs in the environment during observation
What are descriptive notes
400
One way you can reduce Observer Expectation effect
What is being discreet about the research question; not indicating that you are engaged in research
400
One way in which the researcher is different in qualitative research compared to quantitative research
What is immersed in the research setting; researcher is an instrument
400
Subjects are selected because they represent the exact thing that the researcher is interested in
What is the critical case
400
Notes describing the researcher's experiences, thoughts and feelings during observation
What are reflexive notes
500
One way to reduce the bias that the researcher brings into the research
What is an audit trail; what are reflexive notes
500
Using three different methods of data collection
What is Triangulation
500
When a researcher observes the setting, but is as uninvolved as possible and hasn't let anyone know that he or she is conducting research
What is complete observer
500
*TRIPLE JEOPARDY!*

This has nothing to do with sampling methods, FYI

Quantitative, Qualitative and Action Research are all similar in this respect; hint: think about how the process of research works
What is cyclical in nature (e.g. question -> hypothesis -> test -> analyze -> question, etc)
500
**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!*

Moving from specific information to general themes
What is inductive reasoning
