TOPIC 2

 Qualitative research gathers information that


is not in numerical form. For example, diary
accounts, open-ended questionnaires,
unstructured interviews and unstructured
observations. Qualitative data is typically
descriptive data and as such is harder to
analyze than Quantitative data.
 It is designed for the investigator to gather
information about present existing
conditions.
 That investigation which describes and
interprets what it is.
 It is concerned with conditions of
relationships that exist
 Practices that prevail, beliefs and processes
that going on, effects that are being felt or
trends that are developing.
 To describe the nature of a situation,
as it exists at the time of the study
 To explore the causes of a particular
phenomena.
 To describe systematically a
situation or area of interest factually
and accurately
A. CASE STUDY
.

 -provide insights which may lead to


discover new findings not discovered
before.
B. SURVEYS
 -used to gather a relatively limited data
from a relatively large number of
subjects. It is used to measure an existing
phenomenom without inquiring into
why it exists.
SCOPE:
a. Census–covers the entire population
 b. Sample –covers a portion of population
using sampling procedure
C. DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
 -to get reliable information over a long
period of time. It requires a devout
considerable period of time.
D. FOLLOW-UP STUDIES
 -used when a researcher wants to follow-
up the development of a certain condition.
E. LIBRARY or DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS
 -gathering information by analyzing written
records and documents in order to solve a
problem.
F. TREND ANALYSIS
 -otherwise known as Feasibility Study
popular for subjects that are forwad- looking.
Gathering of existing data/conditions, the
succes of the project in the future is predicted.
G. CORRELATIONAL STUDIES
 -designed to determine which different
variables are related to each other in the
population of interest.
 - comparative analysis and studies
 A method that records and explains past
events, it involves any appeal to past
experience to help in knowing what o do in the
present and future.
 It interprets past trends of attitude event and
facts
 It deals with phenomena
 Credible research in the field of history
 interest in what way past social facts have in
common at the present, how they repeat
themselves and what generalizations can be
made to merge from reasoning
 Worth of the problem.
 Genuineness and reliability of
sources.
 Adequate interpretations of facts
found.
 Verification of data used.
 Limitation of the cost in terms of
time and money.
 1. External
 - deals with the first value of documents that
appear for analysis and use
 2. Internal
 - aims to get a final judgement on the actual
meaning of data gathered and a test for
competence
 Ex. Historical Structure research
 A. PRIMARY SOURCE
 – regarded as the source of the “best evidence”. The
data came from the testimony of abled eye and ear
witnesses to past events and places
 -it may also consist of actual venues, structures/
objects used in the past which can be scrutinized or
examined.
 EX. Living Ancestral House Owners
 Method of Construction of Bahay na Bato
 B. SECONDARY SOURCE
 - these are information supplied by a person who was
not a direct observer or participant of the event, object,
structures or condition
 EX. 2nd Generation of Departed Ancestral House
 C. DELIBERATE SOURCES
 - provide data which have been recorded with the conscious effort to
preserve information
 Ex. Curator of a Museum
 Archeologist/ Botanist
 D. INADVERTED SOURCES
 - supply information also for the study even though that was not the
original intention of the source
 - it must be an object piece of evidence
 Ex. Original Dress Code in the Past
 Arts and Artifacts

7. TRAVEL, JOURNEYS, FIELDTRIPS,
OCCULAR VISITS, ACTUAL SURVEY –

8. INTERVIEWS- with reliable/ credible persons
in authority over the research subject usually
