 ELICIT: RECALL TIME!
Humans are born inquisitive. There are a lot of
questions in our minds that
we want to know the answer. We marvel at things
around us, tend to answer
questions, discover facts, or make speculations about
the why and how of
things happening around us.
 ENGAGE !
• With the thirst for new knowledge, unknowingly, it is
already being
done.
• It is collecting and gathering data and information by a
scientific
or logical procedure that aims to solve a particular problem.

ANSWER: ______________________
 ENGAGE !
• This module will
focus on Quantitative Research, its definition, characteristics,
strengths and
weaknesses, and importance across different fields of study.
LESSON 1.1: QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DEFINITION AND
CHARACTERISTICS AND IMPORTANCE

Quantitative Research is “explaining phenomena by

collecting numerical data that are analyzed using
mathematically based methods,” according to Aliaga and
Gunderson (2000).
Quantitative Research involves measurements and amounts.
It seeks to find answers to questions starting with how many,
how much, how long, to what extent, and the like. These
questions should be in numerals, percentages, fractions, and
others (Suter 2012; Russel 2013).

 CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

1. Data are in the form of numbers.

2. Data are analyzed using statistical methods and

often presented in the form of graphs, charts,
tables, and figures.

3. Data are gathered using structured, standardized

research instruments.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

4. Test the hypothesis and theories.

5. It is objective and reliable.

6. Uses convergent reasoning rather than divergent

7. Results are based on larger sample sizes than representative

of a population.

STATEMENTS:
A. EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT (84%) OF THE STUDENTS ARE
PRESENT IN THE WEBINAR.
FIFTY STUDENTS ATTENDED THE MEETING YESTERDAY.

B. VERY FEW ATTENDED THE WEBINAR YESTERDAY.

JOSIE BORROWED A LOT OF BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY

WHICH OF THE TWO ARE EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE

STATEMENTS?
 CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

SENTENCES IN A ARE EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE

DATA, WHILE SENTENCES IN B ARE
EXAMPLES OF QUALITATIVE DATA. FROM THE GIVEN
EXAMPLES, QUANTITATIVE DATA USE
NUMBERS TO DESCRIBE DATA AND ARE OBJECTIVE,
WHILE QUALITATIVE DATA ARE
DESCRIPTIVE IN NATURE, USES LETTERS AND WORDS TO
DESCRIBE, AND ARE SUBJECTIVE.
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____1. It has replicability. Data questionnaires and

sets can be replicated to test more findings.
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____2. It can be costly and time-consuming due to

the large number of samples it requires
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____3. Results are more focused on What, how

much, or to what extent and often fail to answer the
why and how.
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____4. Standards are used in choosing the

instruments, statistical treatment, and sampling
procedure to ensure validity and reliability of data.
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____5. Preset or fixed choices of answers may not

necessarily provide the true answers of the sample.
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____6. It needs extensive statistical treatment and

standards to evaluate and analyze the data, leading to
greater funding and resources.
 WEAKNESS?
STRENGTH?

_____7. Personal interaction is not part of the research

process, so that personal biases can be avoided.

_____8. It has a large sample size that conclusion can be

generalized.

STRENGTH?

_____9. Data and findings are reliable that they can be

used as a guide in policy
making.
