RESEARCH
What is RESEARCH?
It is defined as a systematic
investigation that requires data to be
collected, analyzed, and interpreted
of any social or natural phenomena
where results and conclusions are
aimed at contributing to
generalizable knowledge.
 What is QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH?

• Quantitative research is defined

as the systematic investigation
of phenomena by gathering
quantifiable data and
performing statistical,
mathematical or computational
techniques.
 What is QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH?

● Since quantitative research uses numbers and

figures to denote a particular thing, this kind of
research requires you to focus your full
attention on the object of your study.

LESSON 1
 STRENGTHS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

● Findings can be generalized if selection process is

well-designed and sample is representative of study
population.

● Relatively easy to analyze.

● Data can be very consistent, precise, and reliable.

 WEAKNESSES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

•Related secondary data is sometimes not available or

accessing available data is difficult/impossible.

•Difficult to understand context of a phenomenon.

•Data may not be robust enough to explain complex issues.

Quantitative
Research

experimental, on the other hand these

correlational,
descriptive, and
comparative research
IMPORTANCE
OF RESEARCH
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
1. More reliable and objective
2. Can use statistics to generalize a finding
3. Often reduces and restructures a complex
problem to a limited number of variables
4. Looks at relationships between variables
and can establish cause and effect in highly
controlled circumstances
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
5. Tests theories or hypotheses
6. Assumes sample is representative of the
population
7. Subjectivity of researcher in methodology is
recognized less
8. Less detailed than qualitative data and may
miss a desired response from the participant
VARIABLES
• Variables are “changing or characteristics” of persons or
things like age, gender, intelligence, ideas, achievements,
confidence, and so on that are involved in your research
study.

• Made up of the root or base word “vary” which means

undergo changes or to differ from, variables have different
or varying values in relation to time and situation.
VARIABLES
• For instance, as years go by, your age or
intelligence increases. But placed in a
situation where you are afflicted with a
disease or have no means of reading or no
access to any sources of knowledge, your
intelligence tend to decrease. (Sutter, 2013)

LESSON 2
The Research Process

● This is a process wherein you need to

have different skills like planning,
organizing and the like in order to come
up good research.
