Subject: PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1

Grade Level: Grade 7

Objective:
1. Define quantitative data.
2. Enumerate methods in gathering data quantitatively.
3. Explain how data is gathered quantitatively.
I. Before the Lesson / Pre-lesson Proper

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Introduction to Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research - Students will explore the
differences between qualitative and quantitative data, which sets the foundation for
understanding quantitative data.
2. Data Collection Techniques - Students will learn about various techniques used in
research, which will connect to methods of gathering quantitative data.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Mathematics - Understanding statistics and numerical data will enhance students'
ability to analyze quantitative data effectively.
2. Statistics - Learning about mean, median, mode, and how to interpret data will
support understanding quantitative research methods.

Activating Prior Knowledge:


Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Instructional Materials: Whiteboard and markers.
Energizer 1: Data Bingo - Create bingo cards with terms related to quantitative data
(e.g., mean, median, survey). Students will mingle to find classmates who can define
the terms and complete their cards.
Energizer 2: Think-Pair-Share - In pairs, students discuss what they already know
about data collection methods and share their thoughts with the class.

Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:


Today, we will delve into the world of quantitative data, which is essential for
conducting research. Understanding how to define, gather, and explain quantitative
data will empower you to analyze information effectively and make informed
decisions.

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:

Key Terms:
1. Quantitative Data
2. Data Collection
3. Survey

Key Concepts:
1. Quantitative data refers to numerical information that can be measured and
analyzed statistically.
2. Different methods exist for gathering quantitative data, each suitable for different
research objectives.
II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea:


Quantitative data is numerical information that can be counted or measured, and it is
gathered through systematic methods to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activities
Activity 1: Data Collection Methods Chart
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
Materials: Chart paper and markers.
Significance: Students will create a chart that outlines various methods for
gathering quantitative data, fostering teamwork and critical thinking.

Instructions:
1. Divide students into small groups and assign each a method (e.g., surveys,
experiments, observations).
2. Research the assigned method and prepare a chart detailing its characteristics
and uses.
3. Present findings to the class.

Rubrics:
- Clarity of Information: 5 pts.
- Creativity of Presentation: 5 pts.
- Understanding of Method: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What are the key characteristics of your assigned data collection method?
2. In what scenarios would you use this method?
3. How does this method ensure the data collected is quantitative?
Activity 2: Quantitative Data Role-Play
Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning
Materials: None required (can be done in open space).
Significance: Students will simulate data gathering through role-playing, enhancing
understanding of the process.

Instructions:
1. Assign roles (researcher, participant) to students for a mock survey on favorite
school subjects.
2. The "researcher" will ask questions, and the "participant" will respond with
numerical answers (e.g., rating favorite subjects on a scale of 1-5).
3. Switch roles and repeat.

Rubrics:
- Participation: 5 pts.
- Accuracy in Data Gathering: 5 pts.
- Engagement in Role-Play: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. How did you ensure the data you collected was quantitative?
2. What challenges did you face while gathering data?
3. Why is it important to use a structured method when collecting data?

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activity: Analyzing Quantitative Data


Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-based Learning
Materials: Sample data sets (can be hypothetical).
Significance: Students will analyze provided quantitative data sets to draw
conclusions and understand data interpretation.

Instructions:
1. Distribute sample data sets to small groups.
2. Analyze the data and identify trends or patterns.
3. Present findings to the class, discussing the implications of the data.

Rubrics:
- Depth of Analysis: 5 pts.
- Clarity of Presentation: 5 pts.
- Engagement in Discussion: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What trends did you identify in the data?
2. How might this data influence decisions or outcomes?
3. What additional data would you need to support your findings?
III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper
Making Generalizations / Abstractions:
In today's lesson, we learned that quantitative data is essential for making informed
decisions and analyzing trends. We explored various methods of gathering this data,
emphasizing the importance of structured approaches to ensure accuracy.
Understanding quantitative data equips you with the tools to critically analyze
information in everyday life.

Assessment - Evaluating Learning:


Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Questions:
1. What is quantitative data?
2. Name two methods for gathering quantitative data.
3. Why is accuracy important in data collection?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How would changing the method of data collection impact the results?
2. What are the limitations of quantitative data?
3. Why might qualitative data be necessary in conjunction with quantitative data?

Answers:
1. Changing the method could lead to different results, as some methods may
capture more nuanced information.
2. Limitations include lack of context and depth, potentially missing out on
participants' feelings or experiences.
3. Qualitative data can provide deeper insights and context that numbers alone
cannot convey.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:


1. Conduct a simple survey at home or in the community, gathering quantitative data
on a topic of interest (e.g., favorite snacks or hobbies), and present the findings in
class. This can be done with minimal resources, making it accessible for all students.
