(Quantitative Research)
WEEK 2
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
describe characteristics, strengths,
weaknesses and kinds of quantitative
research
illustrate the importance of quantitative
research across fields
differentiate kinds of variables and their
uses
I. Nature of
Inquiry and
25%
Research
Quantitative Research

• A formal, objective and systematic process

using:
o Measurement
o Hypothesis Testing
o Data Analysis
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
1. Orderly and Systematic
It sorts an orderly pattern and
sequential procedure.

2. Controlled
All variables are kept constant except
those that are tested and
experimented.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
3. Empirical
It is based on observing and experimenting
theories.
4. Transformative
Data can be numerical and are treated
statistically.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
5. Objective
It is unbiased and logical because all
findings are logically based on proper
experiment and investigations.
 STRENGTHS
Reliability through critical
analysis
Short time frame for
administered survey
Facilitated numerical data
for groups and extents of
agree or disagree from
respondents
WEAKNESSES
No human perception
and beliefs
Lack of resources for
large scale research
No depth experience
description
Kinds of Quantitative Research
1. Descriptive Research
Information is collected without changing the
environment or nothing is manipulated
Used to obtain information concerning the current
status of the phenomena
Three main purposes of descriptive studies can be
explained as describing, explaining, and validating
research findings
Kinds of Quantitative Research
Examples:
Level of Budgeting Skills of ABM students
in Olivarez College Tagaytay

Factors affecting the Modality of

Assessments among Senior High School
Faculty Members of Olivarez College
Tagaytay
Kinds of Quantitative Research
Examples:
Hands On: An Assessment on Practical
Learning among HE students in Olivarez
College Tagaytay

Level of Awareness towards the Lowering

Criminal Liability among Grade 11 HUMSS
Students
Kinds of Quantitative Research
2. Correlational Research
Measures two variables and assesses the statistical
relationship (i.e., the correlation) between them

There is no manipulation of variables

Kinds of Quantitative Research
Examples:
Nutritional Intake and Academic
Performance among Grade 12 HE Students of
Olivarez College Tagaytay: A Correlational
Study

Relationship between Academic Performance

and Blended Learning Usage
Kinds of Quantitative Research
3. Experimental Research
Researcher manipulates or controls variable(s) and
observes effect in other variable(s)

Can be a method for development of a useful

product in a certain community
Kinds of Quantitative Research
Examples:
The Effect of a New Treatment Plan on
Breast Cancer

Road E-Source: Converting Mechanical

Energy into Electrical Energy with the Use of
Piezoelectric Transducers
Kinds of Quantitative Research
Examples:
Development of Electronic Portfolio System
for Senior High School Students of Olivarez
College Tagaytay
Kinds of Variables
VARIABLES
Something that varies
Represent persons or objects that can be manipulated,
controlled, or measured for the sake of research

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE DEPENDENT VARIABLE

Presumed cause Presumed effect
Measured factor that the The outcome that the
researcher believes has a causal researcher is trying to explain
impact on the dependent variable
Kinds of Variables
VARIABLES
The one doing the influencing is the independent variable;
the one being influenced is the dependent variable

effect cause
Example: A person’s income may vary according to age, gender or social
class (dependent variable) (independent variable)
