This document outlines a modified table of specifications for a Grade 12 research methods course. It includes learning competencies, number of teaching days, number of test items, item placement levels, and a sample test. The test assesses students' ability to describe research design, sampling, instruments, data collection and analysis. It also evaluates how well students can present written methodology, gather and analyze data ethically, form logical conclusions, make recommendations, and write a clear report. The document provides an example of a research study profile and questions to analyze the data.
