ACTIVITY 2

I.Directions: From your lesson on the classification of research according to method, mention
five 5) types of quantitative Research and five (5) types of qualitative research.
Then, describe each type in 3 sentences only.

A. TYPES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ( 25 pts.)

1. Survey Research= It's the most basic instrument for all kinds of quantitative research
methods. The most significant goal of the study is to thoroughly explain
the peculiarities of a specific group or community. This study is
commonly used by both small and large businesses to have a better
understanding of their clients as well as goods and product perceptions.

2. Descriptive Research= It is used to define the features of a population or a phenomenon

under investigation. It doesn't explain how, when, or why the qualities
developed. Rather, it responds to the query of "what."

3. Experimental Research= It's a study that follows a scientific research design. It consists of
a hypothesis, a researcher-controllable variable, and variables that may
be measured, calculated, and compared. Above all, experimental
research is conducted in a controlled setting.

4. Correlational Research = Used to determine how one entity affects the other and to build a
relationship between two close entities. A researcher will require at least
two different groups for this. This form of research will discover trends
and patterns in data, but it will not go as far as to observe the various
patterns in its analysis.
5. Casual-Comparative Research = After an action or event has occurred, a study strategy
that aims to uncover correlations between dependent and independent
variables. By comparing two or more groups of people, the researcher
hopes to identify whether the independent variable influenced the
outcome, or dependent variable. Between causal-comparative research
and both correlational and experimental research, there are some
similarities and distinctions.

B. TYPES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH (25 pts.)

1. Ethnography Research = For UX workers, this is the most familiar and applicable sort of
qualitative approach. In ethnography, you immerse yourself in the
context of the target participant to learn about their aims, cultures,
obstacles, motives, and themes. Ethnography has its origins in cultural
anthropology, where researchers immerse themselves in a culture for
months or years rather than depending on interviews or surveys, and
occasionally as a "participant observer."

2. Narrative Research = It can be defined as collecting and analyzing the accounts people tell
to describe experiences and offer interpretation. Often, oncology
clinicians use narrative methods to investigate issues such as clinical
outcomes, coping, and quality of life. While there is still some
disagreement regarding how to do story research, experts agree that it is
the study of experience.

3. Phenomenological Research = A method for describing a person's personal experiences. It

focuses on the events that have had an impact on a person. It
emphasizes the details and identifies a phenomenon as seen by an
individual in a circumstance, and it can also be used to investigate the
commonalities among people's behavior.

4. Grounded Theory = A research method concerned with the generation of theory, which is
“grounded” in data that has been systematically collected and analyzed.
It looks to provide an explanation or theory behind the events and use
interviews and existing documents to build a theory based on data. It's
utilized to figure out things like social interactions and collective
behaviors, which are referred to as social processes.

5. Case Study = A research method for gaining a comprehensive, multi-faceted

understanding of a complex subject in its real-world setting. It is a well-
established research strategy that is widely employed across many
fields, especially in the social sciences. A case study can be exploratory
or descriptive, and it requires a comprehensive understanding of
different types of data sources.
I. Directions: Mention at least five ( 5) Ethical Guidelines and Considerations in Research.
Then, describe each in one sentence only. ( 10 pts.)

1. Voluntary participation = Your participants are free to opt in or out of the study at any point
in time.

2.Informed consent = Participants know the purpose, benefits, risks, and funding behind the
study before they agree or decline to join.

3. Anonymity = You don’t know the identities of the participants, personally identifiable data is
not collected.
4. Confidentiality = You know who the participants are but you keep that information hidden
from everyone else.

5. Results communication = You ensure your work is free of plagiarism or research

misconduct, and you accurately represent your results.
