This document discusses quantitative research designs, including experimental and non-experimental designs. Experimental designs test manipulated variables through randomized controlled trials or quasi-experiments that match or observe groups over time. Non-experimental designs observe naturally occurring variables through surveys, comparisons, correlations or examining past events without manipulation. The document provides examples of specific experimental designs like true experiments, matched comparisons and time series analyses as well as stages of experimental research like formulating hypotheses and collecting data.

Understanding Data and Ways to
Systematically Collect Data
Learning Targets I can identify the different quantitative research designs. I can choose appropriate quantitative research design. I can differentiate experimental research design from non-experimental. Quantitative Research Designs
Plan or outline of activities
Make aspects of research clearer Methods, techniques in finding answers and in collecting data Types of Quantitative Research Design Experimental Research Design
bases its research method on a scientific activity
called experiment Test or examination of manipulated or controlled variables to determine its validity and truthfulness Experimental group on which condition, treatment and intervention is applied Control group Experimental Research Design A. True Experimental Design Random selection of participants Bias-free selection that ensures objectivity of results Best way to examine causal relationship Experimental Research Design B. Quasi-Experimental Design Yield findings that are seemingly or more or less true Non-adherence to random selection of participants Prone to bias Incapable of establishing causal relationship Quasi-Experimental Research Design 1. Matched comparison group design Choosing participants for control group which shows close similarities with the experimental or treatment group.
2. Time-series quasi-experimental design
Series of pre-test and post-test, multiple observations before and after the treatment is applied Quasi-Experimental Research Design 3. Counter-balanced quasi-experimental design Control is applied to one group to examine the effects of all treatment and conditions to control variables
4. Single-subject quasi-experimental design
Applying condition or treatment to a single subject like a class of learners then later find out the effects of the treatment on the entire class Experimental Research Design Stages 1. Clear Objectives to follow in conducting the study. 2. Formulate the hypothesis/es 3. Method of testing your hypothesis/es and choosing appropriate research design 4. Instrumentation in collecting data 5. Sampling procedure 6. Experimentation 7. Collections and analysis of data Non- Experimental Research Design Capable of giving quantitative and qualitative data Often used in the field of social sciences Shuns controlling variables Involves variables the way they naturally exist Types of Non- Experimental Research Design 1. Descriptive – image or picture of an individual or group 2. Comparative – differences and similarities 3. Correlative – extent and direction of variable relationship 4. Survey – attitudes, preferences, views, feelings, and other behavioural patterns 5. Ex Post Facto – explanations about past events
