At the end of this lesson, you can:
Research Design
• refers to the overall strategy that a researcher
uses to logically and coherently integrate the
various components of the study
• Descriptive Research
• Correlational Research
• Ex Post Facto/Causal-Comparative Research
• Quasi-experimental Research
• Experimental Research
• Developmental Research
Quantitative Research
Descriptive Research
CHARACTERISTICS
• observe and report certain phenomenon,
behavior, trait, as it takes place
• does not establish causal relationship
• used in exploratory studies
• answers who, what, when, where
• cannot conclusively ascertain answers to why
• variables are measured only once

Example 1
This study used the survey approach of conducting a research.
Specifically, it utilized the descriptive survey and correlation procedures. The
principal purpose of the researcher was to discover how the groups of
respondents assessed the intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies of
school managers and to find out the relationship of these competencies to
the school's effectiveness. The descriptive method was supplemented with
documentary analysis of the school's, teacher's and student's performance as
reflected in the Performance Appraisal for Secondary School Teachers
(PAST), and the documents available in the Division office for the performance
indicators as well as local documents available in the school for the awards received
and data on the school participation in the community.
Quantitative Research
Example 1
Gay (1976) defines descriptive research as involving the current
status of the subject of the study. This method of research is designed to
gather information on condition existing at a particular period. Similarly,
Travers (1978) added that the descriptive method of research is used to
describe the nature of a situation as it exists at the time of study and to
explore the causes of particular phenomena.
Quantitative Research
Example 1
A correlation approach was used to relate the competencies of
the school managers to school performance. A correlation survey is
defined by Calmorin (1998) as the study that aims to determine the
relationship of variables. It also indicates the extent to which different
variables are related to each other and what variables are related to
each other in the target population. It also ascertains how much
variation is caused by another variable. Measure of correlation
determines the magnitude and direction of relationship.
Quantitative Research
Example 2
This study is quantitative in nature since the questions posed will
be answered by numerical data. Specifically, this investigation utilized a
true experimental design or a pre-post test design (Cristobal,
2009). In a pre-post design a pretest was given to students of Algebra.
Then, after the pretest, an intervention method was conducted.
Polynomials were taught using a computer program. After 10 hours of
teaching, a posttest was given to students.

Brainstorming
Instructions:
• Identify the most appropriate research design for
your study. After careful decision, confirm this with
your research teacher.
