Module 3 ( Week 3): Nature of Inquiry and Research: Review


Reference: Practical Research 2, Esther L. Baraceros

Module Overview
This module adheres to a scientific research design which is experimental research which referred to a hypothesis
testing or a deductive research method. This topic research is is completed in a controlled environment.

Lesson 3: Experimental Research

Objectives/ Desired Learning Outcomes


Cognitive: Identify what is experimental all about
Affective: synthesize understanding of experimental research
Psychomotor: sequence the events of to take place in quasi-experiment research

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Experimental Research is a quantitative research that treats or deals with the object or subject of the research in a
definite or exact manner and determines the extend of the effects or influence of the statement on the object/ subject,
then discovers the causes of such effects.

Classifications
Experimental research is categorized into two: true experimental research and quasi-experimental research.

True experimental research absolutely uses random selection in determining who among the participants should
compose the experimental group or the control group.
Quasi-experimental research, adopts a comparative technique in choosing the subjects.

In conducting an experimental research, first, give a pre-test to examine the initial condition of both groups in
relation to variable, condition, or factor; second, apply to the control group a new condition; and third, give the
latter group a post-test to determine the effects or influence of the treatment or conditioned applied on them.

Quasi-Experimental Research

Types
 Matched comparison- choosing a treatment group and another group that has similarities with the treatment
group.
 Time-series quasi-experimental research- giving them series of pre-tests and post-test.
 Single-subject quasi-experimental research- controls treatment and condition applied to just one individual
or a group
