Practical Research 2 Module 1 Presentation
QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE
• Based on • understanding
measurement or phenomena related to
quantity quality or kind
FOCUS ON QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Uses scientifically collected
and statistically analyzed
data
• Investigates observable
phenomena
• Employs scientific methods
for designing and collecting
numerical data
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS IN
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Facilitates faster,
more accurate, and
objective analysis
Quiz
Characteristics of
Quantitative Research
1. Very objective
2. Numerical and quantifiable data can
be used to predict outcomes.
3. Findings are generalizable to the
population.
4. There is conclusive establishment of
cause and effect
ADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
5. Fast and easy data analysis using
statistical software.
6. Fast and easy data gathering
7. Quantitative research can be
replicated or repeated.
8. Validity and reliability can be
established
DISADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
1. It lacks the necessary data to explore a
problem or concept in depth.
2. It does not provide comprehensive
explanation of human experiences.
3. Some information cannot be described
by numerical data such as feelings, and
beliefs.
4. The research design is rigid and not very
flexible.
DISADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
5. The participants are limited to
choose only from the given
responses.
6. The respondents may tend to
provide inaccurate responses.
7. A large sample size makes data
collection more costly.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
Descriptive design is used to
describe a particular
phenomenon by observing it
as it occurs in nature. There is
no experimental manipulation,
and the researcher does not
start with a hypothesis.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
The goal of descriptive research is
only to describe the person or object
of the study. An example of
descriptive research design is “the
determination of the different kinds of
physical activities and how often high
school students do it during the
quarantine period.”
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
The correlational design
identifies the relationship between
variables. Data is collected by
observation since it does not
consider the cause and effect, for
example, the relationship between the
amount of physical activity done and
student academic achievement
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
Ex post facto design is used to
investigate a possible relationship
between previous events and
present conditions. The term “Ex
post facto” which means after the
fact, looks at the possible causes
of an already occurring
phenomenon.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
Ex post facto design
Just like the first two, there is no
experimental manipulation in
this design. An example of this
is “How does the parent’s
academic achievement affect the
children obesity?”
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
A quasi-experimental design is used to
establish the cause-and-effect
relationship of variables. Although it
resembles the experimental design, the
quasi-experimental has lesser validity
due to the absence of random selection
and assignment of subjects. Here, the
independent variable is identified but
not manipulated.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
The researcher does not modify pre-
existing groups of subjects. The group
exposed to treatment (experimental) is
compared to the group unexposed to
treatment (control): example, the
effects of unemployment on attitude
towards following safety protocol in
ECQ declared areas.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
Experimental design like
quasi- experimental is used
to establish the cause-and-
effect relationship of two or
more variables.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
This design provides a more
conclusive result because it
uses random assignment of
subjects and experimental
manipulations.
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
For example, a
comparison of the effects
of various blended
learning to the reading
comprehension of
elementary pupils.
