Course Description: RESEARCH METHODS IN EDUCATION
Part I. Determine the appropriate research design for each research topic below.
Explain your choice of research design thoroughly. (No word count required.)
Research Designs to choose from:

Quantitative Qualitative
Phenomenology
Descriptive Case Study
Correlation Grounded Theory
Experimental Narrative
Ethnography
Research Topic Research Design Explanation of your

Choice of the Research
Design
1. Social networking and Ethnography Social networking and
school school belong to
Ethnography research
design because this kind of
procedure is used to
describe, analyze and
interpret a culture’s
characteristics.
Ethnography is also used
when a researcher wants to
study a group of people to
gain a larger understanding
in their lives.
2. Metal detectors at Descriptive This topic is under a
schools descriptive kind of research
design because this focuses
on describing the nature of
a demographic segment,
without focusing on “why” a
particular phenomenon
occurs or simply means that
it describes the subject of
research without covering
“why’ it happens.
3. The effects of Phenomenology The effects of contemporary
contemporary teaching teaching methods fall under
methods the Phenomenology

research design. It is
because Phenomenology is
used to identify phenomena
and focus on subjective
experiences and
understanding the structure
of those live experiences. It
is also used to describe, in
depth, the common
characteristics of
phenomena that have
occurred just like when we
want to know about the
effect of a certain thing.
4. How to manage bullies Case Study This topic belongs to case
and take actions study research design
against bullying at because it focuses on how
education institutions? and why the behavior is to
be observed, not
manipulated, to further
understand a given
phenomenon. Also, this is
also used to understand
complex issues in real-life
context.
5. How can standardized Grounded Theory This topic is under the
tests improve grounded theory research
education? design. It allows the
researchers to develop a
theory that explains a
specific phenomenon.
6. Does college Narrative This topic is under the
graduates make more narrative research design
money? because in narrative
research designs,
researchers describe the
lives of individuals, collect
and tell stories about
people’s lives, and write
narratives of individual
experiences. Therefore, for
this topic, a researcher can
focus on studying a single
person, gathering data
through the collection of
stories, and experiences.
7. The creation of Descriptive This topic is under a
particular learning descriptive kind of research
methods for blind design because this focuses
children on describing the nature of

without focusing on “why” a
particular phenomenon
occurs or simply means that
it describes the subject of
research without covering
“why’ it happens.
8. Should education be Grounded Theory This topic is under the

researchers to develop a

9. How will modern Correlation This topic is under the

two variables, understands
and assesses the statistical
relationship between them
with no influence from any
extraneous variable.
10. The effects of Phenomenology The effects of contemporary
contemporary teaching teaching methods fall under
methods the Phenomenology
research design. It is
because Phenomenology is
used to identify phenomena
and focus on subjective
experiences and
understanding the structure
of those live experiences. It
is also used to describe, in
depth, the common
characteristics of
phenomena that have
occurred just like when we

Part II. Choose one research topic from the 10 topics in Part I and develop a
research concept with the following parts:

2. Target Beneficiaries
(Who will benefit from your study? The researcher hopes that this study

Education, School Heads, Teachers
and Students.
Department of Education. The

Department of Education may utilize
the result in this study for their
awareness of the current situation of
teachers and students in the public
school system. They may also provide
training for teachers especially those
who are not good in the technicalities
of using gadgets.
School Heads. The school heads may

also find this study beneficial for them
to identify the different factors that
affect the teaching performance using
instructional technology, especially
the Mathematics teachers.
Teachers. The teachers may also find

this study useful by knowing the
capabilities and how the students
adopt new strategies of learning. They
may also use this study to know how it
affects their teaching performance as
long as the students’ learning process.
Students. Lastly, students may also

benefit from this study because they
may be able to learn other skills that
enhance their capabilities and
knowledge.

4. Research Design This study will make use of
(What is your proposed research correlational research design.
design? Why?) According to Schlomer (n.d),
correlation can be defined as the
association between two variables. It
is the degree to which two variables
share a common relationship. Simply
put, it examines whether an increase
or decrease in one variable
corresponds to an increase or
decrease in another variable.
Moreover, correlation strength is
measured by the "correlation
coefficient." When using the Pearson
product-moment coefficient, this
correlation coefficient is represented
as the "r ~value." This value ranges
from -1.00 (perfect negative
correlation) to +1.00 (perfect positive
correlation). An r value that is close to
either end implies a strong
relationship and may be described as
high, an r value that tends toward zero
suggests a weak relationship and may
be termed as low, and an r value that
lies between high and low values can
be called moderate.
5. Research The respondents of this study will be

Respondents/Participants Grade 10 teachers of cluster one in the

(Who will be your respondents? Department of Education, Davao City
How many? How will you identify Division. The researcher plans to have
them?) 85 respondents. Since there are
approximately 100 Grade 10 teachers
currently teaching in grade 10 level,
the researcher will choose the 85
Grade 10 teachers using simple
random sampling. Ochoa (2017)
described simple random sampling as
a sampling method in which all of the
elements in the population—and,
consequently, all of the units in the
sampling frame—have the same
probability of being selected for the
sample. With simple random sampling,
the sample mean is an unbiased
estimator of the population mean. Also
with simple random sampling, the
sample variance is an unbiased
estimator of the finite‐population
variance (Thompson, 2012).
6. Research Instrument In gathering data for this study, the
(What will be your research researcher will use a survey
instrument? questionnaire. For the independent
variable, which is instructional
technology, the researcher will have a
total of 24 items. Each indicator of
study habits will have 8 items each.
Likewise, for the dependent variable,
the researcher will prepare a total of 24
items. Just like the independent
variable, each indicator of the
dependent variable will have a total of
24 items. Overall, the questionnaire
will have 48 items. The respondents
will answer the questionnaire using
this scale: 5 as strongly agree, 4 as
agree, 3 as agree, 2 as disagree, and 1
as strongly disagree. Before the
researcher will distribute the survey
questionnaire to the respondents, it
will first undergo validation and pilot-
testing.
7. Data Gathering Procedure To gather data for this study, the
(How do you intend to gather researcher will first ask permission
data?) from the Department of Education
division office then, to the school
principal of cluster one. Once the
permission is granted, the researcher

education

will coordinate with the curriculum

heads for Grade 10 teachers to ask for
a schedule to answer the
questionnaire. Before the distribution
of the questionnaire, the researcher
will give an explanation to the
respondents about the purpose of the
survey and will answer all the queries
about the study. After that, the
researcher will begin distributing the
questionnaire. Then, the researcher
will collect the answered questionnaire
and formulate the data for statistical
analysis. retrieve the answered
questionnaire and prepare the data for
statistical analysis.
