Lesson
Quantitative Research
1 Designs
What’s In
Each type of research has unique design to follow that will also lead the direction of
sampling procedure, data gathering, and data analysis. Each research type also aims to
answer specific research questions, how it will be answered is determined by its design.
Important considerations also are the variables of the study. The type of variables
provides paradigm (your conceptual framework) which helps researcher decides on what will
be the design of the study.
So it is very important, that you have completed the previous tasks diligently in order
to maximize your learning in this Module. In this lesson, you will be taught how to select
appropriate quantitative research design.
Research design is define as the logical and coherent overall strategy that the
researcher uses in order to integrate all the components of the research study (Barrot, 2017,
p 102). In order to find meaning in the overall process of doing your research study, a step-
by-step process will be helpful to you.
In quantitative research, you are going to have a great deal of abstraction and
numerical analysis. According to Fraenkel and Wallen (2007, p 15), the research designs in
quantitative research are mostly pre-established. Hence having an appropriate research
design in quantitative research, the researcher will have a clearer comprehension of what
you are trying to analyze and interpret.
1
What’s New
Directions: Pretend that you are conducting a study on academic adjustments of teachers
and students on the learning delivery mode during this time of COVID – 19
pandemic. Come up with a plan on how you are going to obtain necessary data
for this study. Draw a procedural flowchart to illustrate your plan.
2
What Is It
Descriptive Research. When little is known about the research problem then it is
appropriate to use descriptive research design. It is a design that is exploratory in nature.
The purpose of descriptive research is basically to answer questions such as “who”, “what”,
“where”, “when”, and “how much”. So this design is best used when the main objective of the
study is to just observe and report a certain phenomena as it is happening.
Ex Post Facto. If the objective of the study is to measure a cause from a pre existing
effects, then Ex Post Facto research design is more appropriate to use. In this design, the
researcher has no control over the variables in the research study. Thus, one cannot
conclude that the changes measured happen during the actual conduct of the study.
The last two types of quantitative research designs are identifiable for the existence
of treatment or intervention applied to the current research study. Intervention or treatment
pertains to controlling or manipulating the independent variable in an experiment. It is
assumed that the changes in dependent variables were caused by the independent variable.

Lesson
Sampling Procedure
2 and the Sample
What’s In
Remember when you were taught how to write your scope and delimitation, you
stated the subjects, participants, or respondents of your study. You also described their
characteristics which qualify them to be the source of your research data.
The next question you have to answer is, how many of the subjects, participants, or
respondents should be selected as source of data? This lesson will teach you how to
describe sampling procedure in quantitative research. Note that, the sampling procedure
should be aligned to your chosen research design. Since you have already decided the
research design of your study, then you are ready for this lesson.
The first step in determining the sample size is identifying the population of the topic
of interest. The population is the totality of all the objects, elements, persons, and
characteristics under consideration. It is understood that this population possess common
characteristics about which the research aims to explore.
There are two types of population: target population and accessible population. The
actual population is the target population, for example, all Senior High School Students
enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in the Division of
Cagayan de Oro City. While the accessible population is the portion of the population in
which the researcher has a reasonable access, for example all Senior High School enrolled,
STEM strand at Gusa Regional Science High School – X.
When the whole population is too costly or time consuming or impractical to consider
then a sample representative is identified. Sampling pertains to the systematic process of
selecting the group to be analyzed in the research study. The goal is to get information from
a group that represents the target population. Once good sample is obtained; the
generalizability and applicability of findings increases.
The representative subset of the population refers to sample. All the 240 Senior High
School Students enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
Strand in a school for example constitute the population; 60 of those students constitute the
sample. A good sample should have characteristics of the represented population –
characteristics that are within the scope of the study with fair accuracy. Generally, the larger
the sample the more reliable the sample be; but still it will depend on the scope and
delimitation and research design of the study.

10
Stratified Random Sampling. The same with simple random sampling, stratified
random sampling also gives equal chance to all members of the population to be chosen.
However, the population is first divided into strata or groups before selecting the
samples. The samples are chosen from these subgroups and not directly from the entire
population. This is procedure is best used when the variables of the study are also grouped
into classes such as gender and grade level.
You can simply follow the steps from this given example: A population of 600 Junior
High School students includes 180 Grade 7, 160 Grade 8, 150 Grade 9, and 110 Grade 10.
If the computed sample size is 240, the following proportionate sampling will be as follows.
The number of members per subgroup is divided by the total accessible sample size.
The percentage result of members per subgroup will be multiplied from the computed total
sample size. After obtaining the sample size per strata, then simple random sampling will be
done for the selection of samples from each group.

Research Instrument,
3 Validity, and Reliability
What do you think will happen if tools for building a house is not prepare
meticulously? Same thing when getting information for answers to research problem, tools or
instrument should be prepared carefully. In constructing quantitative research instrument, it
is very important to remember that the tools created should required responses or data that
will be numerically analyzed.
Research Instruments are basic tools researchers used to gather data for specific
research problems. Common instruments are performance tests, questionnaires,
interviews, and observation checklist. The first two instruments are usually used in
quantitative research while the last two instruments are often in qualitative research.
However, interviews and observation checklists can still be used in quantitative research
once the information gathered is translated into numerical data.

What Is It
In constructing research instrument of the study there are many factors to be
considered. The type of instrument, reasons for choosing the type, and the description and
conceptual definition of its parts are some of the factors need to be decided before
constructing research instrument. Furthermore, it is also very important to understand the
concepts of scales of research instruments and how to established validity and reliability of
instruments.
Concise. Have you tried answering a very long test and because of its length you
just pick the answer without even reading it? A good research instrument is concise in length
yet can elicit the needed data.
Valid and reliable. The instrument should pass the tests of validity and reliability in
order to get more appropriate and accurate information.
There are three ways you can consider in developing the research instrument for
your study. First is adopting an instrument from already utilized instrument from previous
related studies. Second way is modifying an existing instrument when the available
instruments do not yield the exact data that will answer the research problem. And the third
way is when the researcher made his own instrument that corresponds to the variable
and scope of his current study.
Likert Scale. This is the most common scale used in quantitative research.
Respondents were asked to rate or rank statements according to the scale provided.
Example: A likert scale that measures attitude of students towards distance learning.
Strongly Strongly
Items Agree Disagree
Agree Disagree
There would be difficulty in
communicating our concerns to
our teacher.
There would be many distractions
when learning at home than in
school.
17
Semantic Differential. In this scale, a series of bipolar adjectives will be rated by the
respondents. This scale is seems to be more advantageous since it is more flexible and
easy to construct.
Example: On a description of an active student in school activities.
Pleasant 5 4 3 2 1 Unpleasant
Enthusiastic 5 4 3 2 1 Not Enthusiastic
Competent 5 4 3 2 1 Incompetent
Reliability of Instrument
Internal Consistency Reliability. It determines how well the items measure the
same construct. It is reasonable that when a respondent get a high score in one item, he will
also get one in similar items. There are three ways to measure the internal consistency;
through split-half coefficient, Cronbach’s alpha, and Kuder-Richardson formula.

4 Research Intervention
What’s In
In the previous discussion on quantitative research designs, you were taught about
quasi-experimental and experimental designs. Its uniqueness from other research designs
was also described. Remember that experimental research design controls or manipulates
the independent variable. This is done by applying particular conditions or treatment or what
is called research intervention. In this lesson, the focus is on how to describe your research
intervention in your research paper.
What’s New
22
What Is It
Nature of Research Intervention
A section that explains the details of research intervention is added in the research
paper if it is an experimental design. In this section, procedure of research intervention is
explained clearly.
Describe the Procedures of the Intervention. In particular, describe how will the
experimental group receive or experience the condition. It includes how will the intervention
happens in order to achieve the desired result of the study. For example, how will the special
tutorial program will take place.
Explain the Basis of Procedures. The reason for choosing the intervention and
process should clear and concrete reasons. The researcher explains why the procedures
are necessary. In addition, theoretical and conceptual basis for choosing the procedures is
presented to establish the validity of the procedures.

What’s In
You have learned the important factors in developing your research instruments in
the lesson 3 of this Module. You can now identify the steps you are going to undertake in
your actual gathering of data. In this lesson, three phases in data collection will be presented
so that you can plan clearly your data collection procedure in your current research.
Quantitative Data
Generally, data are any pieces of information or facts that people have known. Once
these data answers research problem it becomes helpful to research. When research data
appears to be measurable in numerical form it is considered a quantitative data. However,
some qualitative data can also be useful to quantitative research once it is given numerical
value. For example, if you study about adjustment experiences of students to distant
learning, if it is categorized and numbered accordingly then it can be quantified during
analysis.

Lesson
What’s In
Prerequisite for taking Practical Research 2 is your Statistics and Probability subject.
It is presumed that you have already a good practice of the learning competencies needed to
conduct quantitative research. Your background statistics and probability background will
help you plan and choose your data analysis.
In planning your data analysis in quantitative research, you need also to consider
your research problem, type of data, hypothesis, and scale used in your research
instrument. This lesson focuses on designing your data analysis procedure.
Data Analysis
These numerical data are usually subject to statistical treatment depending on the
nature of data and the type of research problem presented. Statistical treatment makes
explicit the different statistical methods and formulas needed in order to analyze the
research data.
What’s New
Directions: From your previous lessons, recall the following terms in Statistics. Write its
definition or description, and purpose or function in analyzing data. Fill in the
boxes in order to provide the information about these statistical terms. Use the
table for your answer.

What Is It
Before choosing what statistical test is appropriate for your research study it is
important to determine what statistical formation is applicable to your current study. In
immersing yourself into planning your data analysis, you have to decide what basic
descriptive statistical technique you are going to use. Although this technique does not give
you the degree of association or effect between variables, this will help you to code and
simply tabulate your data.
You also have to identify types of statistical analysis of variable in your quantitative
research. A univariate analysis means analysis of one variable. Analysis of two variables
such as independent and dependent variables refers to bivariate analysis while the
multivariate analysis involves analysis of the multiple relations between multiple variables.
Furthermore, selecting what test to use is basically done by identifying whether you
will use parametric test or non-parametric test. As these were already discussed in your
Statistics and Probability subject, a summary of what to consider is presented below:
Test of Difference between Two Data Sets from Two Different Groups
T-test for independent samples (parametric)
Two-way chi-square (non-parametric for nominal variable)
Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric for ordinal variable)

Summary
• In order to integrate all the components of the research study, the research design
describes the overall strategy of the research. Types of quantitative research are
descriptive, correlational, ex post facto, quasi-experimental, and experimental research.
• Population refers to all the members of a particular group relevant to the research.
Sample is a part of the population that serves as a representative. Sample are chosen
through sampling which is a process of selecting of who will participate. The usual
sampling procedures in quantitative research are simple random sampling, stratified
random sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling.
• Research Instrument refers to the tools used in research for the purpose of gathering
the data. Common scales used in quantitative research are Likert Scale and Semantic
Differential.
• It is important in quantitative research to use valid instruments. Validity refers to the
appropriateness of the research instrument. Types of validity are face, content,
construct, concurrent, and predictive validity.
• The consistency in research findings provided by instruments refers to reliability. Types
of reliability are test-retest, equivalent forms, and internal consistency.
• For quasi-experiment and experimental research designs, intervention is applied in
order to know who will receive the intervention and to what extent.
• Data gathering in quantitative research usually observes survey, observation, and
experiment. There are three phases in data gathering of research that need to be
presented in the research paper: before, during, and after procedures.
• Data Analysis is a process in which gathered information are summarized in such a
manner that it will yield answers to the research questions. There are two major
statistical technique in data analysis, these are descriptive and inferential statistics.
