Lecture No. 2.1 Quantitative Research Design

This document discusses quantitative research designs, including experimental and non-experimental designs. Experimental designs test manipulated variables through randomized controlled trials or quasi-experiments that match or observe groups over time. Non-experimental designs observe naturally occurring variables through surveys, comparisons, correlations or examining past events without manipulation. The document provides examples of specific experimental designs like true experiments, matched comparisons and time series analyses as well as stages of experimental research like formulating hypotheses and collecting data.

Understanding Data and Ways to

Systematically Collect Data


Learning Targets
 I can identify the different quantitative research
designs.
 I can choose appropriate quantitative research
design.
 I can differentiate experimental research design
from non-experimental.
Quantitative Research Designs

 Plan or outline of activities


 Make aspects of research clearer
 Methods, techniques in finding answers and
in collecting data
Types of Quantitative Research Design
Experimental Research Design

 bases its research method on a scientific activity


called experiment
 Test or examination of manipulated or controlled
variables to determine its validity and truthfulness
 Experimental group on which condition, treatment
and intervention is applied
 Control group
Experimental Research Design
A. True Experimental Design
 Random selection of participants
 Bias-free selection that ensures objectivity of results
 Best way to examine causal relationship
Experimental Research Design
B. Quasi-Experimental Design
 Yield findings that are seemingly or more or less true
 Non-adherence to random selection of participants
 Prone to bias
 Incapable of establishing causal relationship
Quasi-Experimental Research Design
1. Matched comparison group design
 Choosing participants for control group which shows
close similarities with the experimental or treatment
group.

2. Time-series quasi-experimental design


 Series of pre-test and post-test, multiple observations
before and after the treatment is applied
Quasi-Experimental Research Design
3. Counter-balanced quasi-experimental design
 Control is applied to one group to examine the effects
of all treatment and conditions to control variables

4. Single-subject quasi-experimental design


 Applying condition or treatment to a single subject like
a class of learners then later find out the effects of the
treatment on the entire class
Experimental Research Design Stages
1. Clear Objectives to follow in conducting the study.
2. Formulate the hypothesis/es
3. Method of testing your hypothesis/es and choosing
appropriate research design
4. Instrumentation in collecting data
5. Sampling procedure
6. Experimentation
7. Collections and analysis of data
Non- Experimental Research Design
 Capable of giving quantitative and qualitative data
 Often used in the field of social sciences
 Shuns controlling variables
 Involves variables the way they naturally exist
Types of Non- Experimental Research Design
1. Descriptive – image or picture of an individual or
group
2. Comparative – differences and similarities
3. Correlative – extent and direction of variable
relationship
4. Survey – attitudes, preferences, views, feelings, and
other behavioural patterns
5. Ex Post Facto – explanations about past events
