  The learners demonstrate understanding of...
CONTENT STANDARD 1. the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and kinds of quantitative research
2. the importance of quantitative research across fields
3. the nature of variables
The learners should be able to decide on suitable quantitative research in different areas of interest
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING Describes characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and kinds of quantitative research
COMPETENCIES CS_RS12-Ia-c-1
 Research is a careful, detailed and systematic study of a specific problem, concern, or issue to establish facts This is best accomplished
by turning the issue into a question, with the intent of the research to answer the question.

When is a research practical?

Practical research means actual doing or using of something rather than theories and ideas. It involves inquiry methods and
immersion activities in order to achieve the correct information.

The Scientific Method

1. Ask a question- state the problem

2. Research- collect sources
3. Hypothesis- an educated guess (If I will…it will…)
4. Experiment- design and perform to test hypothesis and variables
5. Data/Analysis- record observations, analyze the data, prepare a graph or table
6. Conclusion- accept or reject hypothesis, communicate results

Questions that Delimits Research

1. What is the meaning of life?

2. What is the origin of God?
3. Is the universe finite or infinite?
4. When did time begin?
5. Why is the future unknowable?
6. Why do we fear the unknowable?
7. Why are there exceptions to every rule?

Types of Research

1. Qualitative- used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. Used in social science and
natural sciences
2. Quantitative- deals in numbers, logic, and an objective stance. Quantitative research focuses on numeric and unchanging
data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent reasoning. Used in psychology, marketing and political science

Characteristics of Quantitative Research

1. Objective- impartial, unbiased and neutral

2. Clearly defined questions (What, Which, how much)
3. Structured research instruments (surveys, questionnaires, software)
4. Numerical data and statistical treatment (unbiased results)
5. Large sample size (represents a population)
6. Replication (high reliability—stable and consistent)
7. Future outcomes (new concepts and further studies)
Kinds of Quantitative Research

1. Causal-comparative research attempts to determine the cause or consequences of differences that already exist between or
among groups of individuals.
a. Female and male employees and their job satisfaction
b. Gender causes on differences in abilities
2. Correlational research determines the extent of a relationship between two or more variables using statistical data.
a. Relationship between intelligence and friendliness
b. Student’s hours of study and their stress level
3. Descriptive research provides systematic information about a phenomenon.
a. The attitudes of scientists regarding global warming
b. Impacts of Qatari diplomatic crisis on OFWs
4. Evaluation research provide a means to judge actions and activities in terms of values, criteria and standards
a. Performance of newly-hired SH teachers in MMC for S.Y. 2017-2018
b. Water quality assessment of Boac River
5. Experimental research uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables
a. Levels of heavy metal bioaccumulation of Nypa fruticans from Boac River
b. Solar purification for water potability
6. A survey is a brief interview or discussion with individuals about a specific topic
a. Acceptance of Boakenos to Boac cityhood
b. Approval rate for Duterte Cabinet members

Strengths

1. Fast speed data collection (sampling methods)

2. Findings can be generalized (if sample is from a population)
3. Easy to analyze data (use of statistical data)
4. Consistent and reliable data (use of research manipulations—experiment, surveys etc)
5. Can be anonymous (for sensitive topic)

Weaknesses

1. Requires a large number of respondents

2. Costly and expensive
3. Secondary data may be unavailable
4. Many info are difficult to answer (sensitive topic)
5. More structured research instruments

Importance of Quantitative Research Across Fields

1. Business- estimates consumer attitudes and behavior, market sizing, and marketing tactics
2. Political science- measures political behavior and attitudes of citizens and politicians
3. Psychology- measures human attributes/beahvior and analyzes psychological processes
4. Medicine- measures clinical and methodologic standards in medicinal prescription and composition and laboratory
experimentations
5. Economics- evaluates economic behavior and designs economic policies and techniques
6. Demographics- discover patterns, associations, correlations, and other features of a population
7. Education- discover solutions to issues in educational research, assessment, and program evaluation and curriculum
implementation

Kinds of Quantitative Research
1. Causal-comparative research
attempts to determine the cause or
consequences of differences
that already exist between or
among groups of individuals.
