REVIEWER IN PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2

 Research Intervention - pertains to what is going to happen to the subjects of the study.
 A data is considered quantitative when it appears to be in numerical form.
 Techniques in collecting quantitative data:
o Observation
o Survey
o Experiment
 Guidelines in writing a research conclusion:
o Avoid merely summarizing
o DO not reiterate the discussion of your results
o State in clear and simple language
 Guidelines in writing recommendations:
o It should be concise and clear.
o It should be practical and doable.
o It should be specific
 Data Analysis - process in which gathered information are summarized in such a manner that will yield answers
to the research questions.
 The Critical Value Approach is an approach that is used to determine whether the observed test statistic is more
extreme than a defined critical value.
 The P-Value Approach involves determining the probability of observing a more extreme test statistic in the
direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed. It shows the spread of data around the mean.
 Regression Analysis can be used to explain the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
 Descriptive Statistical Technique- provides a summary of the ordered or sequenced data form your research
sample.
 Inferential Statistics - is used when the research study focuses on finding predictions.
 Interview - is a method of collecting data about an individual’s behaviors, opinions, values, emotions, and
demographic characteristics
 Recall Questions - A type of question that requires participants to retrieve information form memory.
 Recognition Questions - questions that provides respondents choices where they can select the best and correct
choices.
 Open-ended Questions - type of question that allows the respondents to be have more freedom in their responses.
 Univariate Analysis - is a type of statistical analysis of variable that focuses only on one variable.
 Editing - is a technique in data processing wherein the collected data are being checked.
 Coding - is a process wherein the data collected are categorized and organized
 Tabulation - is the process of arranging data which can be done manually or electronically using MS
Excel
 Bivariate Analysis - refers to the analysis of two variables such as independent and dependent variables.
 Graphs focuses on how a change in one variable relates to another.
 Pie Graph is a kind of graph that displays the relationship of parts to a whole.
 Mean is the middlemost value of your list of values and this can be obtained by adding all the values and divide
the obtained sum to the number of values.
 Multivariate Analysis - involves multiple relations between multiple variables.
 T-test for dependent samples – used in testing the relationship between two variables.
 Mann-Whitney Test – used in the test of difference between two data sets form one group
 McNemar change test – used in the test of difference between two data sets form two different groups.
 Parts of a questionnaire: Personal Information, Open-ended Question section, and Main Section
 Standardized Test - is a type of test that is usually administered by institutions to assess a wide range of groups
such as students and test-takers.
 Tests - are used for assessing various skills and types of behavior as well as for describing some characteristics.
 Non-Standardized Test - a type of test that may not be scored uniformly and is administered to certain set of
people.
 Hypothesis test helps in determining some quantity under a given assumption.
 Null Hypothesis states that there is no difference between the two values and variables.
 Alternative Hypothesis states that there is difference between the two values or variables.
 Observation - method of collecting data that can be usen in quantitative research when there are observable
characteristics.
 Controlled observation - is a form of observation that is usually used in experimental research and is done under a
standard procedure.
 Natural Observation - is carried out in a non-controlled setting and has greater ecological validity.
 Participant observation - form of observation allows the observer to become a part of a group that the participants
belong to.
 Correlation Analysis is a statistical method used to estimate the strength of relationship between two quantitative
variables
 Practical Implication is a realistic explanation of what your research findings might mean
 Theoretical Implication is a statement that supports or contradicts a theory, previous study findings, or creates
something entirely new.
