CONCEPT
NOTES
What is Research?
Research is a systematic way of gathering and analyz-ing data to find out or validate new information and
contribute knowledge that is important and helpful.
Characteristics of a Good Research

1. It originates from a problem. The word problem can be interpreted as something that needs a solution.
However, in research, the word problem usually means there is an ‘absence of data.’
2. It is SMART, i.e., Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Bound.
3. There must be a plan or method of collection of data
4. The main problem and sub-problems are stated clearly and are all answered in the end.
5. It has a very commendable summary, conclusion, and recommendation.
What is Quantitative Research?

It is a kind of research that uses numbers to gather perception, opinion, or any other data through surveys,
usually but not limited to using the Likert Scale.
The best thing about quantitative research is that it is easy to measure, analyze, and interpret. It uses numbers to
represent certain degrees of meaning, see a sample below:
COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY SENIOR HIGH

SCHOOL STUDENTS
More so, quantitative research is extensive and can gather more data faster from many respondents
because of its nature. However, despite its advantages being objective and easy to interpret, it limits the answers
of the respondents base on the choices given in the boxes. It does not allow them to discuss their thoughts, and
because of that, the researcher may lose some vital information; hence, not intensive.
Kinds of Quantitative Researches
1. Descriptive
Concern with describing the nature, characteristics, and components of the population or situation.
2. Correlational
Systematic investigation of the nature of relationships or associations between and among variables
(factors/elements).
3. Evaluation
Aims to assess the effects, impacts, or outcomes of practices, policies, or programs, i.e.,
implementation, impact, effectivity, and others.
4. Survey
Used to gather information from groups of people by selecting samples chosen from a population.
E.g., Child-rearing practices of single parents, the rate of promotion of doctorate holders, and others.
5. Causal-Comparative
Known as Ex Post Facto (after the fact). Conclusions from observation and manifestation that already
occurred in the past. It discusses why and how a phenomenon occurs. E.g., How weight
(underweight, normal, overweight) influences the stress-coping level.
6. Experimental
Utilizes scientific methods to test cause and effect relationships under conditions controlled by the
researcher. Eg. Effect of coffee in remembering facts.
