Importance of Variables

in Quantitative Research
Learning
Outcomes:
At the end of this lesson, the learners ought to:
• Explain the importance and the variables of quantitative research;
• Summarize the importance and distinguish the variables of
quantitative research ; and
• Integrate the importance and the variables of quantitative research to
one’s own personal life.
Introductory Activity:
Look at the pictures closely. Match the pictures of the past ways of living on the left
to how it is improved at this present time on the right through research.
Activity: SONG ANALYSIS

Directiongs: Read or sing the song below. Reflect on the message and
answer the questions that follow
your understanding:
1. What is the singer trying to do?
2. What information is the singer trying to gather?
3. Were the questions easy to answer? Why or why not?
4. What are the questions about love? Give at least two.
5. What are the questions about the world and other topics? Give at least two.
6. How is it important to ask the right questions in research?
7. What kind of questions or problems can be answered through research?
IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE. It leads man to focus on improving
processes and means, which he must love and find interesting.
• IMPROVES INSTRUCTION. Studies on different methods, strategies,
and approaches in teaching various subject areas, grade and year
levels have been conducted to determine which method, strategy, or
approach is best and most effective in teaching.
• IMPROVES STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT. The students’ achievement
could be improved if the Modern Teacher keeps himself updated on
issues and trends about the modern methods and strategies in
teaching by reading related researches or conducting one.
IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• IMPROVES TEACHER’S COMPETENCE. A competent teacher is
research-oriented teacher. He always conducts research to improve
his competence and produce graduates who respond to the
socioeconomic development of the country.
• SATISFIES MAN’S NEEDS. All the modern facilities that satisfy man’s
needs are all products of research from television to rice cooker, to
modern cars and many more.
• REDUCES THE BURDEN OF WORK. All modern devices like cellphone,
laptops, electric heater and others are products of research that
made man’s work easier.
IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• HAS DEEP-SEATED PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS. Research stimulates and
ennobles the human spirit. It challenges man to get rid of the danger of
stagnation.
• IMPROVES THE EXPORTATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS. Filipinos become
more and more capable of conducting research in agriculture and
aquaculture, and in so doing allowing an increase in the exportation of
food products.
• RESPONDS TO THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND AUSTERITY MEASURE OF
THE COUNTRY. Filipinos who are research-oriented may be able to solve
problems of economic crisis through writing researches that will pertain
to the improvement of the economic situation.
IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
• TRAINS GRADUATES TO BECOME RESPONSIVE TO THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY AND
COMPETE GLOBALLY. Through the conduct of research,
graduates will have more opportunities to compete globally
because schools were able to deliver goods and services to
the students effectively, efficiently, and excellently.
Types and Uses of Variables in
Quantitative Research
A variable is anything that may assume varied numerical or
categorical values.

Situation: A group of students was subjected to aroma therapy


using essential oils while reading and another group read under
normal conditions, then after a month both groups took a reading
comprehension test.
Types of Variables

1. Independent Variable. This is the cause or stimulus variable


which is the one responsible for the conditions that act on
something else to bring about changes.
Ex: Exposure to aroma therapy from the above situation
2. Dependent Variable. This is the outcome variable or
response variable which is the result or effect of the changes
brought about by another variable (usually independent
variable).
Ex: Reading comprehension test from the above situation
Types of Variables

3. Continuous Variable. A variable that can take infinite number on the


value that can occur within a population.
• Interval Variable. It is a measurement where the difference between
two values does have meaning.
Ex: temperature difference of two places
• Ratio Variable. It possesses the properties of interval variable and has
a clear definition of zero, indication that there is none of that variable.
Ex. height
Types of Variables

4. Discrete Variable. It is also known as categorical or classificatory


variable, is any variable that has a limited number of distinct values and
which cannot be divided into fractions like sex, blood group, etc.
• Nominal Variable. It is a variable with no quantitative value. It has
two or more categories but does not imply ordering of cases.
Ex: eye color, religion
• Ordinal Variable. It is a variable that has two or more categories
which can be ranked.
Ex: Like music while studying-Not Very Much, Very Much, Much
Types of Variables

5. Moderator Variable. This is a secondary or special type of


independent variable chosen by the researcher to determine if it
changes or modifies the relationships between the independent and
dependent variables.
6. Control Variable. This is a variable that is controlled by the
investigator in which the effects can be neutralized by eliminating or
removing the variable.
7. Intervening Variable. This is a variable which interferes with the
independent and dependent variables, but its effects can either
strengthen or weaken the independent and dependent variables.
APPLICATION
Directions: Identify the independent and dependent variables from the
given situations below. Write the answers on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Organizational Commitment and Teaching Performance of Elementary Teachers
in the District of Argao II
Independent: _______________________________________________
Dependent: ________________________________________________
2. Conceptual, Interpersonal, and Technical Skills of Bank Managers: Their
Relationship to Operational Efficiency
Independent: _______________________________________________
Dependent: ________________________________________________
3. Increasing Mathematics Achievement Through Contextualized and Localized
Materials
Independent: ________________________________________________
Dependent: _________________________________________________
