Arrange the following stages of experimental research in the correct sequence.
1.Selection of the setting
2.Operationalisation of variables
3.Administration of the experiment
4.Selection of the experimental design
5.Analysis and interpretation of results
A1, 2, 4, 5, 3
B2, 4, 3, 1, 5
C1, 4, 2, 3, 5 ✓ Correct
D4, 1, 3, 2, 5
Correct answer: (C) 1, 4, 2, 3, 5
Explanation
The correct sequence is selection of the setting, selection of the experimental design, operationalisation of variables, administration of the experiment and analysis of results.
Choosing the setting comes first, deciding whether the study runs in a lab or in the field.
Selecting the experimental design then fixes the structure of comparison.
Operationalisation converts the variables into measurable form.
Administration carries out the manipulation and records the data.
Analysis and interpretation of results close the process.
This orders the stages as one, four, two, three, five.
