EXAMPLES:
=RESEARCH Q2= I.
=RESEARCH DESIGN=
❖ a framework for planning your research
❖ sets the parameters of your study
❖ defines the criteria by which you will
evaluate your results and draw your
conclusions
= TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN=
There are two categories of Research Design:
01
Quantitative Research Design
02
Qualitative Research Design
=QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGNS=
● Descriptive Research
- Describes the status of an identified variable.
- Provides systematic information about a
phenomenon.
- Does not usually begin with a hypothesis but
develop one after collecting data.
➔ The analysis and synthesis of the data provide
the test of the hypothesis. Systematic collection
of information requires careful selection of the
units studied and careful measurement of each
variable.
A researcher wants to determine the
qualifications of employed professionals in
General Santos City. Survey method will be used
as a research instrument, and each item on the
survey related to qualifications is subjected to a
Yes/No answer.
II. A survey evaluating the number of hours
millennials in a community spends on the
internet weekly will help a service provider make
informed business decisions regarding the
market potential of the community.
● Correlational Research
- Extent of a relationship between two or more
variables using statistical data.
- Recognizes trends and patterns in data, but
it does not go so far in its analysis to prove
causes for these observed patterns.
➔ Data, relationships, and distributions
of variables are the things emphasized.
Variables are not manipulated; they are only
identified and are studied as they occur in a
natural setting.
EXAMPLES:
I. You want to know if there is a correlation
between how much people earn and the number
of children that they have. You do not believe
that people with more spending power have
more children than people with less spending
power.
II. You believe that domestic violence causes a brain
hemorrhage. You cannot carry out an
experiment, as it would be unethical to
deliberately subject people to domestic violence.
However, you can carry out correlational
research to find out if victims of domestic
violence suffer brain hemorrhage more than
non-victims.
 ● Causal-Comparative or Quasi-Experimental ● Experimental Research

- often referred as true experimentation

- establishes cause-effect relationships among
the variables
- very similar to true experiments, but with
some key differences
- independent variable is IDENTIFIED but NOT
manipulated
- effects of the independent variable on the
dependent variable are measured
➔ The researcher does not randomly assign
groups and must use ones that are
naturally formed or pre-existing groups.
Identified control groups exposed to the
treatment variable are studied and
compared.
- uses the scientific method to establish the
cause-effect relationship among group of
variables
- The true experiment is also known as a
laboratory study, but this is not always the
case; a laboratory setting has nothing to do
with it.
➔ An independent variable is manipulated to
determine the effects on the dependent
variables. Subjects are randomly
assigned to experimental treatments rather
than identified in naturally occurring groups.

other does not. By comparing the children who
attend the program with those who do not, you
can find out whether it has an impact on grades.
 =BASIC METHODOLOGY FOR A QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH DESIGN=

Deductive reasoning

➢ forms a hypothesis
➢ collects data
➢ uses the data from the investigation
➢ makes analysis and shares conclusions
➢ proves the hypotheses not false or false

The basic Procedure of a Quantitative Design

1. Make your observations about

something that is unknown,
unexplained, or new. Investigate
current theory surrounding your
problem or issue.

2. Hypothesize an explanation for those

observations.

3. Make a prediction of outcomes based

on your hypotheses. Formulate a plan
to test your prediction.

4. Collect and process your data. If your

prediction was correct, go to step 5. If
not, the hypothesis has been proven
false. Return to step 2 to form a new
hypothesis based on your new
knowledge.

5. Verify your findings. Make your

conclusions. Present your findings in
an appropriate form for your audience.
