b. Finding out the workability of previous researches and their current relevance.
c. Verifying and refuting existing conditions and presenting their background effects.
d. Discovering new concepts, presenting data, facts, and information and analyzing background effects.
2. Which of the following types of research seeks to examine the findings of a study by using the same design but a different sample
is and it also strengthen the foundation of past researches.
a. An exploratory study c. An empirical study
b. A replication study d. Hypothesis testing
3. The following are aims of research EXCEPT:
a. Generating new knowledge
b. Verifying existing knowledge
c. Finding application for old knowledge
d. Developing investigator
4. Which is the correct way of presenting Quantitative Research findings?
a. Many like better to study with textbooks
b. Students find textbooks indispensable or necessary
c. Perhaps, 30% consider textbook unnecessary in their studies
d. Out of 100 college students, 90 find textbooks beneficial to their studies.
5. Which problem statement below is quantitative research?
a. A researcher surveys all students about their food preference for the new school canteen
b. A researcher interviews the principal to find out the challenges, and triumphs in running a rural school
c. The researcher believes that the world is complex and that no single variable or number can accurately describe it
d. A researcher wanted to determine the challenges encountered by the teachers and students in the new normal situation.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
[LLC.s2022]
DISCUSSION:
A. CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Research was coined from the word “cerchier” which means to seek and “re” which means to repeat. It is discovering truths by
examining your chosen topics. It is a natural day to day activity of gathering information. It may be in the form of quantitative or
qualitative.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN

a. Is an objective, systematic, empirical investigation of observable phenomena through the use of computational techniques.
b. It uses numbers in stating generalizations about a given problem or inquiry in contrast.
c. It highlights the numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased results that can be generalized to some
larger population and explain a particular observation
d. The research instrument used in this kind of research is in the form of surveys and closed-ended questionnaires.
e. The data usually obtained from a large sample of the population and is analyzed using statistical techniques ensuring that the
conclusions drawn from quantitative research are valid and are representative of the population.
f. Conversely, the end goal of qualitative research is to look for meaning and a deeper understanding of the phenomena as
perceived from the standpoint of the participants.
STRENGTHS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

a. OBJECTIVE
b. CLEARLY DEFINED RESEARCH QUESTIONS
c. STRUCTURED RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
d. NUMERICAL DATA
e. LARGE SAMPLE SIZE
ADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

1. It is objective. Since it provides numerical data, it can be easily interpreted.
2. Quantitative research design is the most reliable and valid way of concluding results, giving way to a new hypothesis, or to
disprove it.
3. The use of statistical techniques facilitates sophisticated analyses and allows you to comprehend a huge number of vital
characteristics of data.
4. The numerical data can be analyzed quickly and easily. By employing statistically valid random models, findings can be
generalized to the population about which information is necessary.
5. Quantitative studies are replicable. Standardized approaches allow the study to be replicated in different areas or over time
with the formulation of comparable findings.
6. It uses robust instrumentation, which may yield results that can be generalized to a larger population and other research
settings.
7. It allows for greater accuracy data because variables are isolated, manipulated, and rigorously controlled.
8. Results can be replicated, analyzed, and compared with similar studies due to the use of robust instrumentation.
9. Personal bias is avoided because quantitative data are arrived using established procedures.
WEAKNESSES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

1. REQUIRES A LARGE NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS
2. COSTLY
3. MUCH INFORMATION IS DIFFICULT TO GATHER
4. IF NOT DONE SERIOUSLY AND CORRECTLY, DATA FROM THE QUESTIONNAIRES MAY BE INCOMPLETE AND INACCURATE.
Activity # 3: Write A – if the item is describing Quantitative Research, and B – if it is Qualitative Research
____ 1. Places more emphasis on the study of phenomena from the perspective of those who experience it,
____ 2. Interested not only in examining the phenomenon but also its causes
____ 3. Immerses oneself and views meaning more context-and time-specific, and in most cases, not generalizable
____ 4. Attempts to remain independent or detached from the phenomena that one studies
____ 5. Uses interpretative frameworks 6. Concerned about findings that can be generalized
____ 7. The researcher believes that the world is an objective reality governed by the laws of nature that can be understood
and measure.
____ 8. A researcher survey on the students' food preference for the school canteen.
____ 9. Concerned about numerical data
____ 10. Attempts to understand experiences and phenomenon
Activity #4: Write four (4) good points of quantitative research which makes it important to researchers. Place your answer in a
concept map.
