Quarter 1 – Module 3:
Quantitative Research
Intended Learning Outcomes

After this lesson, you should be able to:


1. Increase your vocabulary by giving the meanings, characteristics, and examples of terms used to
explain some concepts about experimental research;
2. Obtain a thorough or an in-depth understanding of experimental research;
3. Justify the link between scientific thinking and experimental thinking;
4. Identify the reason behind the differences between experimental research and quasi-experimental
research;
5. Sequence the events to take place in any quasi-experimental research; and
6. Synthesize your understanding of experimental research through a specific graph or a topical outline.

 CONCEPT DELIVERY
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Definition of Experimental Research


Experimental research is a quantitative research that treats or deals with the object or subject of the
research in a definite or exact manner and determines the extent pf the effects or influence of the
treatment on the object/subject, then discovers the causes of such effects. Two groups are involved in
any experimental research: the experimental group, the one on which the treatment or influence is
applied, and the control group, which does not receive any treatment. The objects or subjects involved
in these types of research are chosen randomly or selected by chance, rather than by the decision of the
researcher.

Classification
Experimental research is categorized into two: true experimental research and quasi-experimental
research. Based on where the experimental research is done, it is either laboratory research or field
research. Your manner of selecting the participants indicates whether it is true experimental or quasi-
experimental. The true experimental research absolutely uses random selection in determining who
among the participants should compose the experimental group or the control group. The quasi-
experimental research adopts a comparative technique in choosing the subjects.
The experimental group on which the treatment or condition applied is not chosen randomly but
matched or compared with another group whom you, the researcher, believe as having the same
characteristics as the experimental group under treatment. Employing researcher’s influence in sampling
or subject selection, quasi-experimental research fails to qualify as a genuine experimental research.
Hence, discoveries or finding resulting from this kind of experimental research are susceptible to
doubts.

Research Design of Non-Experimental Research

Any plan you have about a non-experimental research must have the following aspects that take place
in a sequential manner:

1. Specify the problem or topic of your research.


2. Formulate the research problem or hypotheses,
3. Determine the dependent and independent variables.
4. Select the participants or subjects.
5. Decide on the specific type of experimental research; meaning, whether it will be a tru experimental
or quasi-experimental research.
6. Conduct the experiment.
7. Collect, analyze and interpret the results.
In conducting an experimental research, first, give a pre-test to examine the initial condition of both
groups in relation to a variable, condition, or factor; second, apply to the control group a new condition;
and third, give the latter group a post-test to determine the effects or influence of the treatment or
condition applied on them.
Quasi-Experimental Research
Usually, participants chosen in a quasi-experimental research are those forming a class that remains as
one group incapable of disintegration. The not randomly chosen participants are subjected to any of these
types of quasi-experimental research (Mujis 2011)
1. Matched comparison- choosing a treatment group and another group that has similarities with the
treatment group
2. Time-series quasi-experimental research- giving them series of pre-tests and post-tests.
3. Single-subject quasi-experimental research- controls treatment and condition applied to just one
individual or a group.

 CONCEPT EXPLANATION

Directions: Explain your understanding about the text by answering the following questions and
sending it to Edmodo.

1. Compare and contrast the two basic types of experimental research.


2. Why an experimental research is also called a scientific method?
3. What is the primary factor in determining whether a research is true experimental or quasi-
experimental?
4. What are the implications of declaring what is true by means of a quasi-experimental research?
5. Which is better between two types of experimental research/ Justify your choice.
