INTRODUCTION TO

QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
Practical Research 2_ Q1- Lesson 1
LET’S RECALL!
Determine the following if they are characteristics of quantitative or
qualitative research:
• Measurable – Quantitative
• Behavior- Qualitative
• Statistical – Quantitative
• Narrative – Qualitative
• Objective – Quantitative
Determine the following if they are characteristics
of quantitative or qualitative research:
• Text–based – Qualitative
• Intervention – Quantitative
• Experimental group – Qualitative
• Inductive – Qualitative
• Subjective – Qualitative
Determine the following if they are characteristics
of quantitative or qualitative research:
• Unstructured observation – Qualitative
• Small sample – Qualitative
• Table and charts – Quantitative
• Deductive – Quantitative
• Generalizable - Quantitative
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Uses scientifically collected and statistically analyzed data to investigate
observable phenomena.
• Uses scientific method in designing and collecting numerical data.
• Data is analyzed statistically, it is imperative that the data obtained must be
numerical and quantifiable, hence its name quantitative research.
CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• Large sample size – to obtain more meaningful statistical result.
• Objectivity – Data gathering and analysis of results are done accurately and
are unaffected by the researcher’s intuition and personal guesses.
• Concise Visual Presentation - Data is numerical which makes presentation
through graphs, charts, and tables possible and with better conveyance and
interpretation.
CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• Faster Data Analysis – The use of statistical tools gives way for a less time-
consuming data analysis.
• Generalized data- Data taken from a sample can be applied to the population
if sampling is done accordingly, i.e., sufficient size and random samples were
taken.
• Fast and Easy Data Collection - Depending on the type of data needed,
collection can be quick and easy (ex. Conduct survey simultaneously)
CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• Reliable Data -Data is taken and analyzed objectively from a sample as a
representative of the population, making it more credible and reliable.

• High Replicability- The Quantitative method can be repeated to verify findings


enhancing its validity, free from false or immature conclusions.
DISADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• It lacks the necessary data to explore a problem or concept in depth.
• It does not provide comprehensive explanation of human experiences.
• Some information cannot be described by numerical data such as feelings, and beliefs.
• The research design is rigid and not very flexible.
• The participants are limited to choose only from the given responses.
• The respondents may tend to provide inaccurate responses.
• A large sample size makes data collection more costly
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Descriptive design is used to describe a particular phenomenon by
observing it as it occurs in nature. There is no experimental
manipulation, and the researcher does not start with a hypothesis.

Sample - “the determination of the different kinds of physical activities and


how often high school students do it during the quarantine period.”
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• The correlational design identifies the relationship between
variables. Data is collected by observation since it does not
consider the cause and effect.

Sample - “the relationship between the amount of physical activity done


and student academic achievement.”
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Ex post facto design is used to investigate a possible relationship
between previous events and present conditions. The term “ Ex post
facto” which means after the fact, looks at the possible causes of an
already occurring phenomenon.
Sample - ““How does the parent’s academic achievement affect the
children obesity?”
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Quasi-experimental design is used to establish the cause-and-effect
relationship of variables. It has lesser validity due to the absence of
random selection and assignment of subjects. Here, the
independent variable is identified but not manipulated. The
researcher does not modify pre-existing groups of subjects..
Sample - “the effects of unemployment on attitude towards following
safety protocol in ECQ declared areas”
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Experimental design is used to establish the cause-and-effect
relationship of two or more variables. It provides a more conclusive
result because it uses random assignment of subjects and
experimental manipulations.

Sample - “a comparison of the effects of various blended learning to the


reading comprehension of elementary pupils.”
QUIZ!
Direction. Write TRUE if the statement describes quantitative research and FALSE if it is
incorrect.
1. Quantitative data can be presented using tables and graphs.
2. The results of quantitative research can be used to generalize and predict.
3. Quantitative research is flexible so at any stage, the study may change.
4. Quantitative data are more credible, reliable, and useful than qualitative data.
5. The research study cannot be replicated or repeated because it is unique in every case.
6. Data are in the form of numbers and analyzed statistically.
7. Data analysis is an on-going process. It can be done at any stage of the process.
8. The behavior of the participants is observed and is critical to the analysis of results.
9. Analysis of data is less time-consuming.
10. In quantitative research, the researcher participates and engages the participants in the study.
