QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN
• In this type, data is collected in numerial
form and analyze by using descriptive and
inferential statistics. It is a process in which
evidence is evaluated, theories and
hypothesis are tested and technical
advances are made
TYPES OF QUANTITATIVE
1. Experimental Research Design
2. Experimental Research Design Stages
3. Non- Experimental Research Design
Experimental Research Design
Experimental research design is a quantitative
research design that bases its research method on a
scientific activity called experiment, in which a test
or examination of a thing under a manipulated or
controlled environment is done to determine the
validity or truthfulness of such thing
Types of Experimental Research Design
1 . True Experimental Design
It is a bias-free selection that ensures objectivity of
results.
2. Quasi- Experimental Design
Quasi-experimental research involves the manipulation
of an independent variable without the random
assignment of participants to conditions or orders of
conditions
MATCHED COMPARISON GROUP DESIGN
• In this quasi-experimental design, instead of selecting
participants for the control group, you get a set of participants
that shows close similarities with the experimental or
treatment group based on one or more important variables.
TIME SERIES QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
• Your act of controlling the variables in this case is through
multiple observations of the subjects before and after the
treatment or condition applied to the experimental group.
Counter-balanced quasi-experimental design
• Here, control is applied to one group to examine the effects of all
treatment and conditions to control variables. For instance, negative
results coming from three-time observations are counterbalanced or
given weight that is equated with positive results from four- or five-
time observations.
SINGLE-SUBJECT QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
• This design is used when the population is so large that you find
difficulty in choosing a group to study. So, you decide to apply the
condition or treatment to a single subject like a class of learners then
later find out the effects of the treatment on the entire class

Stages
The true experimental and quasi-
experimental designs follow the same
stages in research designing. Their
difference lies only in the participant-
selection process, in that the first is
randomized; the second, purposive.
(Lapan 2012; Walliman 2014)
• 1. Clear knowledge of the research objectives
that enable you to decide not only on the kind
of research you have to do, but also on the
manner you have to follow in conducting the
research.
