Review

Practical Research 1 introduced you to the


two main classifications of research
methods: quantitative and qualitative.
Whereas, Qualitative research is more
of describing a phenomenon in a
narrative; hence the data collected can
be in the form of words, images or
transcripts taken from small sample.
What is
Quantitati
ve
Research?
Quantitative Research
 is the process of collecting and analyzing
numerical data.

 is a systematic investigation of phenomena


by gathering quantifiable data and
performing statistical, mathematical, or
computational techniques.

 deals with numbers and statistics.


vocabulary
Quantitative data
 is information about quantities that can be
measured and written down with
numbers. Ex. height, shoe size and length of
fingernails.
Units / cases
 the people or things we collect data on or
from.
Ex. schools
Variables
 those data being collected from the unit

1.Large sample size
To obtain more meaningful statistical
result, the data must come from the large
sample size.
more respondents
2. Objective
data gathering and analysis of results are
done accurately, objectively, and are
unaffected by the researcher’s intuition and
3. Visual Result Presentation
data is numerical, which makes
presentation through graphs, charts and
tables for better conveyance and
interpretation.

4. Faster Data Analysis


the use of statistical tools give way for a
less- time consuming data analysis.
has limited range of answers for
5. 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. Research findings can be
applied to the whole population
6. Fast Data Collection
collection can be quick and easy. It uses
standardized research instruments which
allows researcher to collect data from a large
sample size efficiently. short contact time.
7. Reliable Data
data is taken and analyzed objectively
from a sample as a representative of the
population, making it more credible and
reliable for policy and decision making.

8. Replication
quantitative method can be repeated to
verify findings enhancing its validity which
means free from false or immature
conclusions.

KINDS of QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Descriptive design
 it is used to describe a particular
phenomenon, a situation or a population
by observing it as it occurs in nature.
 it is used when trying to identify
characteristics, categories and trends.
Ex: How many hours Senior High School
students spent in playing online games?
Kinds of Quantitative Research

Correlation design
 identifies the relationship between
variables.
 data is collected by observation .
 does not consider the cause and
effect.
Ex: The relationship between the age of
the car and the price of the car.
Kinds of Quantitative Research

Ex post facto design


 the term “ ex post facto” means after
the fact
 is used to investigate a possible
relationship between previous events
and present conditions.
 looks at the possible causes of an
already occurring phenomenon.
Kinds of Quantitative Research

Quasi- experimental design


 used to establish the cause and
effect relationship of variables.
 has lesser validity due to the
absence of random selection and
assignment of subjects.
Kinds of Quantitative Research

Experimental design
 also known as true experimentation.
like quasi-experimental, it also used to
establish the cause and effect
relationship of two or more variables.
 it provides more conclusive result
because it uses random assignment of
subjects and experimental
manipulations.
QUIZ # 1 True or False

Direction: Write T if the statement


describes quantitative research and F 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.

______3. The research study cannot be


replicated or repeated because it is
unique in every case.
_______4.Data are in the form of numbers
and analyzed statistically.

______ 5. It uses standardized research


instruments which allows researcher
to collect data from a large sample size
efficiently.

______6. It requires a minimum number of


participants.
_____7. it provides comprehensive
explanation of human experiences.

_____ 8. the data collected can be in the


form of words, images or transcripts
taken from small sample.
