PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2 REVIEWER
1. Identify the problem or
question.
2. Review the literature,
3. Clarify the problem-
specifically-identify the
purpose of the study.
4. Clearly define terms and
concepts.
5. Define the population.
6. Develop the instrumentation
plan.
7. Collect data.
8. Analyze the data.
CHARACTERISTICS,
STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES
AND KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
 Quantitative research uses
numbers in stating
generalizations about a given
problem or inquiry.
STRENGHTS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
RESEARCH
 ‘research’ come from the French
word ‘cerhier’ which means
seek; prefix ‘re’ means repeat.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
 Objective, systematic empirical
investigation of observable
phenomena through the use of
computational techniques.
 Highlights numerical analysis of
data
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
1. OBJECTIVE – accurate
measurement and analysis of
target concepts.
2. CLEARLY DEFINED
RESEARCH QUESTIONS – well-
defined for which objective
answers are sought.
3. STRUCTURED RESEARCH
INSTRUMENT – tools such as
questionnaires to collect
measurable characteristics of the
population like age
4. NUMERICAL DATA – data are in
the form of numbers and
statistics.
5. LARGE SAMPLE SIZES – to
arrive at a more reliable data
analysis.
6. FUTURE OUTCOMES – if-then
scenarios may be formulated
7. REPLICATIONS – reliable
quantitative studies can be
repeated to verify or confirm the
correctness of the results.
1. Most reliable and valid way of
concluding results, giving way to
a new hypothesis or to disproving
it.
2. It is objective. Since it provides
numerical data, it can’t be easily
misinterpreted.
3. The use of statistical technique
facilitates sophisticated analyses
and allows you to comprehend a
huge amount of vital
characteristics of data.
4. The numerical data can be
analysed in a quick and easy
way.
5. Quantitative studies are
replicable

1. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
DESIGN – utilizes specific
method to test cause-and-effect
relationships under conditions
controlled by the researcher.
a. PRE-EXPERIMENTAL –
design w/least internal validity
b. QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL –
researcher can collect more
data, either by scheduling
more observations or finding
more existing measures.
1. NON-EQUIVALENT
CONTROL GROUP
DESIGN – chance failure
of random assignment to

2. INTERRUPTED TIME
SERIES DESIGN –
employs more measures
before and after
experimental intervention.
c. TRUE EXPERIMENTAL
