RESEARCH AGENDA AND

INTRODUCTION TO MIXED
METHODS
 INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY (1/2 crosswise)

Performance Task No. 1 Supply questions with the necessary

information. Be honest with your assessment from your PR 2 as
your response will of great help to your research.
1. Something that I need to improve in my research(attitude,
habit, resources)
2. What will I do with this weakness?

3. How can my teacher(school) help me with this weakness?

 Combining Qualitative and Quantitative
Research Methods
A.Formulation of a Research Title
 The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your
study.
 A good title contains the fewest possible words that
adequately describe the contents and/or purpose of your
research paper.
 The title presents the purpose of the research, the
narrative tone of the paper and the methods used.
 Qualitative Research Title Quantitative Research Title
Into the World of Home-Based Motivations and Challenges of
Working Students: A Home-Based Working Students
Compilation of Stories
Phenomenological Study of the Begging in the City:
Street Beggars in Tagbilaran Complexities, Degree of
City Organization, and Embedded
Risks

Experts Opinion on a Proposed Acceptability of the Proposed

Electrical Light Set-up for Electrical Light Set-up for
Indoor Plants Indoor Plants
 In Quantitative research, the title is direct to the point
while in qualitative research, the researcher can play
with words making it more dramatic.
B. Develop Survey Instruments (specific
questions/items in the questionnaire)
 The researcher or group of researchers may conduct either
a Key Informant Interview (KII) to a person who is an
expert in the field of investigation using one or two experts
or
 Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to at least four practitioners
specifically identified because of their ranks and
experiences and as much as possible represent each cluster
or group to help identify areas for investigation (statement
of the problem) or formulate specific questions for the
investigation. A questionnaire was then produced based on
the information collected.
 Situation A: Ana is interested to study about the major
issues and concern in the fish sanctuary. She made an
appointment with the warden of the fish sanctuary.
She then produced a questionnaire and returned for
some corrections and verifications.
 Situation B. Carlo remembered eating a dish cooked by
his late his grandmother and wanted to replicate the
same recipe and possibly improve it. He contacted his
aunts for an online conference about the family dish.
Out of that conference, Carlo was able to produce the
recipe for experimental purposes.
Activity 1:

 On a ½ sheet of paper, write two sample

situations for each (similar to the examples)
that would show the use of A. Key Informant
Interview and B. Focus Group Discussion.
C. Identifying sample size.
 Both respondents in the quali and quanti part will be identified
using a determined sampling method. For example, Slovin’s
Formula is utilized when the researcher has no idea of the
population’s behavior and a sample size is needed. For quali, a
standard of selecting the probable respondents will be
implemented.
Activity 2:
 Part 1. True or False. Thoroughly analyze each statement using the underline
word or words as your reference. Write True if the statement is correct and write
False if the statement is wrong.

1. The research title primarily presents the respondents of the study.

2. Focus Group Discussion is method used in the quantitative research.
3. Key informant interview utilized the expert opinion of a resource person.
4. Funneling method follows the principle of screening the most qualified
respondent.
5. Funneling Method is most appropriate in Quantitative Research.
6. Key informant interview utilizes more respondents than the focus group
discussion method.
 Part II. Write the letter of the correct answer.
