 *WHAT I HAVE
LEARNED
Directions: Now let us sum up what you learned from our lesson
by answering the questions below.

1. What are the steps in gathering information through survey?

*Step 1: Determine your objectives
*Step 2: Define the population (Population and sampling)
*Step 3: Create a data analysis plan
*Step 4: Designing the survey
*Step 5: Pre-testing
*Step 6: Conducting the survey
*Step 7: Data analysis
*Step 8: Reporting results

2. How is the observational method of gathering information being conducted?

-monitoring participants in a specific situation or environment at a given time and day.
Basically, researchers observe the behavior of the surrounding environments or people
that are being studied. This type of study can be controlled, natural or participant.

3. What are the advantages of experiments?

-Experimental research offers the highest levels of control. The procedures involved
with experimental research make it possible to isolate specific variables within virtually
any topic. This advantage makes it possible to determine if outcomes are viable
