In grounded theory, researches collect data using theoretical sampling until theoretical saturation is achieved. This process can be summarized in the following sequence.

Sample Theoretically decided → Collect data → Analyse data → Theoretical Saturation

General research question → Collect data → Sample theoretically decided → Analyse data → Theoretical Saturation

Sample theoretically decided → General research question → Collect data → Theoretical Saturation

General research question → Sample theoretically decided → Collect data → Analyse data → Theoretical Saturation

Ability to see and size up the situation creatively is most relevant at which stage of research?

In deciding and identifying the sampling procedures to ensure their representative character.

At the stage of identifying and defining a research problem.

In determining the research design and its execution.

In formulating research hypothesis and procedures for testing them.

In deciding and identifying the sampling procedures to ensure their representative character.

A university teacher plans to study the effect of level of aspiration of students in terms of their socio-economic background on their scholastic performance at the term-end evaluation conducted by an external testing agency. What is the dependent variable in this study?

Level of aspiration of students

Socio-economic background of students

Scholastic performance of students

After identifying the different variables and establishing logical reasoning in the theoretical framework, the next step in the research process is to

Use experiment in an investigation

A hypothesis should be conceptually

Obscure, complicated and simple

Convoluted, complex and generic

Obscure, complicated and simple
