Survey research
❖ A survey research is used to gather relatively limited data
from relatively large number of cases
❖ Purpose to gather information about the prevailing
conditions or about the variables under study
Methods and techniques used
research design : descriptive Research Design
Type of Survey
Correlation survey
Methods and techniques used
research design : descriptive Research Design
Documentary analysis
❖ it involves the gathering of information by analyzing written
records and documents to solve a problem
❖ uses secondary data
➢ the relationship of IQ and academic performance of of the students
Methods and techniques used
research design : Experimental research design
❖ Concepts of Experimentation
➢ it is never hypothesis free
■ You have a control group and experimental group
■ Control group is traditional, the one that did not receive treatment
■ Experimental group, expose to the treatment
➢ Assigning subjects for the control group and experimental group
(randomization) >> homogeneity
➢ The effect of the manipulation of the independent variable on the dependent
variable is observed or measured.

Respondents of the study
❖ Population and sample of the study
➢ Use an appropriate sampling design and sampling size
❖ Population
➢ Is composed of the entire group of people or objects to which the
researcher wishes to generalize the findings of the study
❖ Sample
➢ Subset of the population to represent the population
Respondents of the study
❖ Sampling Design
➢ Probability sampling
■ Involves the use of a random selection process to select a sample from
members or elements of a population
● Goal: to examine the representatives elements of population
■ Simple random, stratified, cluster, systematic
➢ Non-probability sampling
■ The elements are chosen from the population by non random method
■ Convenience, snowball or network, quota,purposive
Respondents of the study
❖ Example
➢ Population (n) = 400
➢ A (alpha) = 0.05
➢ Sample Size (n) = ?
➢ Slovin’s Formula
■ N = n / 1 + n (a^2)
➢ N = 400 / 1 + [400 ( 0.05^2)
➢ N = 200 (No. of participants)
Respondents of the study
❖ Probability Sampling
➢ Simple random
■ Assign a number to each member of the population
■ Select sample through a table of random numbers
➢ Stratified
■ Divide the population into subgroups or strata
■ A simple random sample is taken from each of these subgroups
➢ Cluster
■ A groups rather than people are select
● A random selection from cluster
➢ Systematic
■ Obtain listing of population
● Determine sample size then select every key element
Respondents of the study
❖ Non-probability Sampling
➢ Convenience (accidental or incidental)
■ Involves choosing readily available people or objects for study
➢ Snowball (network)
■ Involves the assistance of subjects to help obtain other potential subjects
➢ Quota
■ Establishment of a desired quota or proportion for some variable of interest (gender)
➢ Purposive (judgmental)
■ Subjects are chosen that the researcher believes are typical, or representative of the
accessible population
Instruments of the study
1. appropriate choice and description of the instruments.
2. detail procedures on how the instrument was constructed.
3. adequate information pertaining to validity of the instrument.
❖ There are two type of instruments
