In your own understanding, briefly answer, state or describe the following


self-assessment questions:

1. What topics are contained in Chapter 3?


Chapter 3, titled Methodology, contains the following key topics:
 Different Methods of Research: Explains the chosen approach (e.g.,
qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods) and why it fits the research
objectives.
 Subjects of the Study and Sampling Design: Describes the population of
interest, the criteria for selecting participants, and the specific sampling method
used (e.g., random sampling, stratified sampling, purposive sampling).
 Instrumentation and Validation: Details the data collection tools (e.g., surveys,
tests, or interview guides), their purpose, and the process of ensuring their
validity and reliability.
 Data-Gathering Procedure: Outlines the steps involved in collecting data from
participants or other sources.
 Treatment of Data: Explains the statistical tools and techniques used to analyze
the collected data.

2. How do you describe your method of research?


The method of research is described as the systematic approach used to investigate the
research problem. Based on the module:
 Quantitative Research focuses on numerical data, measurable variables, and
statistical analysis. Examples include surveys and experiments.
 Qualitative Research explores perceptions, behaviors, or experiences through
non-numerical data collection methods like interviews, observations, and focus
groups.
 Mixed Methods Research combines elements of both quantitative and
qualitative research to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the
research problem.

3. How is the selection and preparation of the research instrument described?


 Selection: The choice of a research instrument is based on its ability to
effectively collect the data needed to address the research objectives. Examples
include questionnaires for quantitative data and interview guides for qualitative
data.
 Preparation: Includes designing or adapting the instrument to fit the context of
the study. This involves:
 Ensuring validity: The instrument accurately measures what it is intended to
measure.
 Ensuring reliability: The instrument consistently produces the same results
under the same conditions.
 Pilot testing is often conducted to refine and improve the instrument before full
implementation.

4. How is the sampling design described?


The sampling design refers to the process used to select participants for the study:
 Population Definition: Identifies the group of people or entities relevant to the
study.
 Sampling Method:
 Probability Sampling: Ensures every member of the population has an
equal chance of being selected (e.g., random sampling, stratified
sampling).
 Non-Probability Sampling: Focuses on selecting specific participants
based on defined criteria (e.g., purposive sampling, convenience
sampling).
 Sample Size: The number of participants is determined based on factors such as
the study’s objectives, the total population size, and the required level of
precision.

5. Give the guidelines in the selection of a statistical procedure to be used.


The selection of a statistical procedure follows these guidelines:
 Research Objectives: Ensure the procedure aligns with the study’s goals, such
as comparing groups, analyzing relationships, or predicting outcomes.
 Nature of Data: Consider the type of data collected (nominal, ordinal, interval, or
ratio) to select appropriate tests (e.g., chi-square for nominal data, t-tests for
interval data).
 Number of Variables: Decide whether to use univariate (single variable),
bivariate (two variables), or multivariate (multiple variables) statistical methods.
 Distribution of Data: Choose parametric tests (e.g., t-tests, ANOVA) for
normally distributed data or non-parametric tests (e.g., Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-
Wallis) for data that do not meet normality assumptions.
 Sample Size: Ensure the sample size is sufficient to achieve reliable and valid
results with the chosen statistical test.
