Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rather a construction of human mindsand thus truth is a composite of multiple constructions of reality. In the positivist paradigm, it is assumed that there is an objective reality and that natural phenomena are regular and orderly. Constructivist researchers emphasize understanding human experience as it is lived through the collection and analysis of subjective, narrative materials using flexible procedures; this paradigm is associated with qualitative research. The other answers are truer of positivist, quantitative research.

Rationale 1: This option identifies only one direction when any direction may be used to select a simple random sample as long as the direction is followed systematically.
Rationale 2: This option identifies only one direction when any direction may be used to select a simple random sample as long as the direction is followed systematically.
Rationale 3: This option identifies only one direction when any direction may be used to select a simple random sample as long as the direction is followed systematically.
Rationale 4: Simple random sampling requires that the numbers of elements to be selected from the total population must be determined from any direction, provided that the same direction is used systematically until the total sample is selected.
