Practical Research 2: Kinds of Quantitative Research

There are four main types of quantitative research designs: descriptive, ex post facto, action research, and experimental. Descriptive research aims to describe phenomena, while experimental research seeks to determine the effect of manipulative factors. There are also different sub-types within each design, such as descriptive-correlational research which tests relationships between variables. True experimental designs use randomization and control groups to control for validity threats, while pre-experimental designs lack some characteristics of experiments.

Kinds of Quantitative Research
Design
 There are four basic types of quantitative research,
these are:
 1. Descriptive Research Design - According to Ochave
(1992), the principal aim of descriptive research is to
describe the nature and the time of study and to
explore the causes of particular phenomenon. It is also
purposive process of gathering, analyzing , classifying
and tabulating data about prevailing conditions,
practices, belief, processes, trends cause – effect
relationship and then make adequate and accurate
interpretation about such data with or without the aid of
statistical methods.
Classification of Descriptive
Research
 a) Descriptive - Correlational Research - test for
the relationship between two variables.
 b) Descriptive - Survey Research - this research
methods are employed to measure the existing
phenomenon without inquiring into why it exists.
 c) Descriptive - Status Research - this approach
to problem - solving seeks to answer question to
real facts relating to existing conditions.
 d) Descriptive - Analysis Research - this method
of research determines or describes the nature
of an object by separating it into parts.
 E. Descriptive - Classification Research - this
method is employed in natural sciences
subjects, namely: Biology, Botany, Zoology,
Phycology, Ichthyology, concology, and like.
 f) Descriptive - Evaluation Research - this
kind of research aims to assess the effects,
impacts or outcomes of practices, policies or
program (Faltado, et al. 2016).
2. Ex - Post Facto (Causal - Comparative)
Research Design

- it looks to uncover a cause and effect


relationship. This research is not
conducted between the two groups on
each other.
3. Action Research Design
- this research follows a cyclical process.
First, the researcher identifies a problem
and determines a plan of action to
address it.
4. Experimental Research
Design

 4. Experimental Research Design - This


type of research seeks to determine the
effect of one or more manipulative
factors upon a dependent variable under
controlled condition on a carefully
controlled sample.
 A.Quasi - Experimental Research Design - this
type of design use to identify differences
between two or more groups in an attempt to
explain causation.
 The following are some types of quasi -
experimental design
 One - group posttest - only design - type of
experimental study in which only one group
receives a treatment and is then measured in a
post test after treatment.
 b) Static group comparison design - this design
attempt to make up for the lack of control groups
but falls short in relation to showing if a change has
occurred. In the static group comparison study,
two groups are chosen, one of which receives the
treatment and the other does not.

 c.) Nonequivalent control group design - In


nonequivalent control group design, a treatment
group and a comparison group are compared
using pretest and posttest measures.
 d) Time series design - a quasi - experimental
research design in which periodic measurements
are made on a defined group of individuals both
before and after implementation of an
intervention.
 e) Equivalent time - samples - this design involves
periodic introduction of treatment followed by
measurement with the treatments varied
consistently over time.

 f) Multiple time series design - a type of quasi -


experimental design where a series of periodic
measurement is taken from two groups of test
units (an experimental group and a control).
 g) Equivalent material design - this design involves
giving equivalent samples of materials to subjects
imparting interventions, and then making
observation.
A. True Experimental Research Design - The true
experimental research design control for nearly all
sources of internal and external validity there is
one obvious characteristics of these design and
this is randomization. Also there is the presence of
a control group (Ochave, 1992).
Classification of True Experimental Research Design
A. a) Pretest - Posttest Control Group Design - In this
particular design, the experimental and control
groups are carefully selected through appropriate
randomization procedures.
b) Solomon Four Group Design - This design is an
extension of the pretest - post test control group
design and is used to eliminate the effect of pretest. It
involves random assignment of subjects to four
groups, with two groups being pretested and the two
not.
b) Solomon Four Group Design - This design is an extension
of the pretest - post test control group design and is
used to eliminate the effect of pretest. It involves
random assignment of subjects to four groups, with two
groups being pretested and the two not.
c) c) Posttest - only Control Group Design- this design is
exactly the same as the pretest - posttest control group
design, except that there are no pretests of the
dependent variables.
C. Pre - Experimental Research Design - these are designs
that do not possess two or more characteristics of experimental
research.
a) One - Shot Case Study - In this design, the researcher
administers a treatment and then makes an observation.
b) One - Group Pretest - Posttest Design - In this design, a
single group of subjects is given a pretest, then the treatment
and then test.
c) Static Group Comparison - In this two randomly selected
group are designed by chance, one to be the experimental
group, the other the control group.
