-considered the more formal, systematic, and intensive process of carrying out a scientific
method or analysis.
-the systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may
lead to the development of generalizations, principles, or theories, resulting in prediction
and possibly ultimate control of events
1. Quantitative Research
- A quantitative research views a social reality objectively by studying population or
samples that represent a population. It investigates human behavior in a contrived setting
and applies theories and research concepts to identify the data to be gathered. It also
uses statistical methods and techniques to analyze and generalize data. The quantitative
research is deductive. Its purpose is to test theories, predict outcomes, establish facts,
and test hypothesis or assumptions. It isolates variables and uses large samples. It collects
data using tests and formal instruments.
2. Qualitative Research
- It assumes that social reality is continuously constructed in local situations. It
makes a holistic observation of the total context within which social action occurs. It uses
analytic induction to analyze data and it discovers concepts and theories after data have
been collected. The approach is inductive and the goal is to describe multiple realities,
develop deep understanding and captures everyday life and human perspective.
C. Organization of a Research Report
1. The Problem and Its Setting
(Consisting of Introduction, Statement of the Problem, Scope and Delimitation,
Significance of the Study and Definition of Terms)- in this section the researcher states
the general statement of the problem/objectives as well as the specific research problems
or objectives. The researcher also states under this section the significance of the study
and research hypothesis, if any.
2. Review of Related Studies
Under this section, the researcher makes a review of research or opinion about the topic
to be investigated as well as the interpretative summary of the current state of
knowledge.
3. Research Methods
The research design, sampling, statistical treatment, procedures, and measures are
discussed in this section.
4. Research Findings
Presented in this section are the overview of the statistical procedure or how statistical
procedures are used for analyzing the data, description of results for each hypothesis,
question, objective or purpose
5. Discussion
This section presents the interpretation and analysis of the results.
6. Summary and Recommendation
This section presents the implications of the study and future research.
