IV. PROCEDURES These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that students will learn well. Always be guided by
demonstration of learning by the students which you can infer from formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systematically by
providing students with multiple ways to learn new things, practice their learning, question their learning processes, and draw
conclusions about what they learned in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge. Indicate the time allotment for each
step.

Quantitative research uses scientifically collected and statistically analyzed data to investigate observable phenomena. A phenomenon is
any existing or observable fact or situation that we want to unearth further or understand. It is scientific for the fact that it uses a
scientific method in designing and collecting numerical data. Once data is collected, it will undergo statistical analysis like Pearson’s r, t-
test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for analysis. Since data is analyzed statistically, it is imperative that the data obtained must be
numerical and quantifiable, hence its name quantitative research.
Numerical data are generally easier to collect than descriptions or phrases used in qualitative research. Information like student’s grades
in different subjects, number of hours of engagement in social media platforms of teens, percentage of consumers who prefer the color
blue for soap packaging, and average of daily Covid-19 patient recovery per region are just few examples of research data expressed in
numbers. Some data, on the other hand, are not directly countable and thus require conversion from non-numerical information into
numerical information. For instance, determining which brand of canned sardines is the best choice for consumers in terms of taste
3
cannot be expressed in numbers unless we do a survey using a rating scale. Several forms of rating scales are available, e.g., the Likert
scale that we can use to quantify data. Usually, they come in a selection of numbers with a corresponding meaning for each choice, for
example: 1= tastes very good, 2 = satisfactory, or 3 = undesirable. Numerical choices convert texts into numbers so the researcher can
perform mathematical operations for faster, more accurate, and more objective analysis.
Advantages of Quantitative Research The following are the advantages of quantitative research or its strengths:
1. Very objective
2. Numerical and quantifiable data can be used to predict outcomes.
3. Findings are generalizable to the population.
4. There is conclusive establishment of cause and effect
5. Fast and easy data analysis using statistical software.
6. Fast and easy data gathering
7. Quantitative research can be replicated or repeated.
8. Validity and reliability can be established
Disadvantages of Quantitative Research The following are the disadvantages of quantitative research or its weaknesses:
1. It lacks the necessary data to explore a problem or concept in depth.
2. It does not provide comprehensive explanation of human experiences.
3. Some information cannot be described by numerical data such as feelings, and beliefs.

4. The research design is rigid and not very flexible.
5. The participants are limited to choose only from the given responses.
6. The respondents may tend to provide inaccurate responses.
7. A large sample size makes data collection more costly.
Descriptive design is used to describe a particular phenomenon by observing it as it occurs in nature. There is no experimental
manipulation, and the researcher does not start with a hypothesis. The goal of descriptive research is only to describe the person or object
of the study. An example of descriptive research design is “the determination of the different kinds of physical activities and how often
high school students do it during the quarantine period.
The correlational design identifies the relationship between variables. Data is collected by observation since it does not consider the
cause and effect, for example, the relationship between the amount of physical activity done and student academic achievement.
Ex post facto design is used to investigate a possible relationship between previous events and present conditions. The term “Ex post
facto” which means after the fact, looks at the possible causes of an already occurring phenomenon. Just like the first two, there is no
experimental manipulation in this design. An example of this is “How does the parent’s academic achievement affect the children
obesity?
A quasi-experimental design is used to establish the cause-and-effect relationship of variables. Although it resembles the experimental
design, the quasi-experimental has lesser validity due to the absence of random selection and assignment of subjects. Here, the
independent variable is identified but not manipulated. The researcher does not modify pre-existing groups of subjects. The group
exposed to treatment (experimental) is compared to the group unexposed to treatment (control): example, the effects of unemployment
on attitude towards following safety protocol in ECQ declared areas.
Experimental design like quasi- experimental is used to establish the cause-and-effect relationship of two or more variables. This design
provides a more conclusive result because it uses random assignment of subjects and experimental manipulations. For example, a
comparison of the effects of various blended learning to the reading comprehension of elementary pupils.

V. REMARKS
VI. REFLECTION Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students’ progress this week. What works? What else needs
to be done to help the students learn? Identify what help your instructional supervisors can provide for you so when you meet them, you
can ask them relevant questions.
