Are you taking it?

Activity 2

1. Qualitative

Definition: Content and discourse analysis enables researchers to analyze the structure and practices of
public communication. Content analysis is the examination of meaningful information from documents.
Discourse analysis the study of language structure used in the medium of communication.

Example: A researcher wants to study how particular a regime change from dictatorship to democracy
has affected the public relations of businesses in the country, he decided to examine the mission
statement and marketing material of the 5 largest companies within the 3 years of the regime change.

2. Qualitative

Definition: Grounded theory takes place when you discover a new theory to underlie your study at the
time of data collection or analysis. This research design aims at developing a theory to increase your
understanding of something in a psycho-social content.

Example: In psychology, it is used to understand the role of therapeutic distance for adult clients with
attachment anxiety.

3. Quantitative

Definition: Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or
phenomenon. It can answer what, where, when and how questions. The characteristics used to describe
the situation or population are usually some kind of categorical scheme.
Example: A new food company is releasing brand new barbecue ribs. They conducted a research to
understand what flavor of barbecue ribs will people like most.

4. Quantitative

Definition: It is a type of nonexpiremental research in which the researcher measures two variables and
assesses the statistical relationship between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables.

Example: Jack have noticed a slight change on attitude from his grandmother who is participating in
recreational activities like this would lessen the stress level of senior citizens.

5. Qualitative

Definition: From the word phenomenon which means something known through the sensory
experience, phenomenology refers to the study of how people find their experiences meaningful. It
makes you follow a research method that will let you understand the ways of how people go through
inevitable events in their life.

Example: Mrs. Lopez is a guidance counselor working at their local community. She helps and studies
patient who experienced or who are experiencing traumatic events in their life. She studies each
patient's action and check its progress.

Here's How It is!

Activity 3

1. Correlational

Reason: Because the answer seeks to find the relationship between more time in playing and low grades
hence, correlational study will be most effective.

2. Ethnography

Reason: Because the statement seeks to learn about the natives of Baguio and how they make a living
thus, Ethnography will give the researcher a clear understanding of the topic or objective.

3. Case Study

Reason: Because the statement seeks to determine how many hours per day does students spend in
reading the modules, hence case study will help James to describe and explain why students behaves
like such.

4. Experimental

Reason: Because the study seeks to test the effectiveness of the medecine and the conditions are
controlled by the researcher hence, experimental study can give different or various insights to the
researchers regarding topic.
5. Phenomenology

Reason: Because the statement seeks to assess experiences and deals with psychology, hence case study
will help Dr. Banzo deal with the study.

Activity 5

The researchers applied the quantitative method, which refers to the scientific investigation that
contains both the tests and other systematic methods that emphasize control and enumerate
performance measures. It focuses on analyzing and interpreting the raw numerical data gathered based
on statistical outcomes (Clemente, Julaton, et al., 2016). The researchers used this type of research to
explain their study by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data that are studied using
mathematically-based methods. In other words, quantitative research delivers perceptions into the
problem or helps develop concepts or hypotheses on the given topic or situation.

The quantitative method followed in this research is the descriptive-comparative design which
obtains facts about a current state in a phenomenon and establishes a formal procedure to compare
and conclude that one is better than the other if a significant difference exists. Meanwhile, stratified
random sampling will be utilized as a medium or tool in choosing the right respondent in every section in
the Senior High School Department. According to Nickolas (2020), stratified random sampling divides a
population into subgroups, and random samples are taken in the same proportion to the population
from each of the groups or strata. Through stratified sampling, the researchers will regroup the students
by their chosen alternative learning modality; from the total population of Senior High School Students,
we will group them according to their learning modality, Online Distance Learning and Modular Distance
Learning. Then, from the subgroups, we will choose the respondents through random sampling. For
equal distribution of the respondents, we will get the 50% of the total population for Online Distance
Learning students and 50% of the Modular Distance Learning students.
