Second Quarter/ Week 3/ Day 1

OBJECTIVE: Describe research interventions

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY!


As students, you sometimes compare your scores to your classmates and ask why his /her
score higher than mine. Probably, you even think the change in your grades, if it
increased or decreased. A person who is conscious about his/her weight may undergo a
dietary plan, telling your peers to be a good model to others. And teachers conduct pre –
test and post test to measure the assessment scores. These are some examples of
interventions. When you want a change – in behavior, physical activity, performances,
enhance peer support, and opportunities, are reasons of interventions.
WHAT’S NEW!
Intervention research examines the effects of an intervention on an outcome of interest. The
primary purpose of intervention research is to engender a desirable outcome for individuals in
need (e.g., reduce depressive symptoms or strengthen reading skills).

Intervention resea
ch is the systematic study of purposive change strategies. It is characterized by both the design
and development of interventions. ... In contrast, prescriptive interventions tend to be based on
manuals that specify practice activities and guide the exchange between intervention agents and
participants.

W HE N S HOU L D Y OU D E V E L OP A N I N T E R V E N T I ON ?
It makes sense to develop or redesign an intervention when:

• There is a community issue or problem that local people and organizations perceive as an unfilled need

• Your organization has the resources, ability, and desire to fill that need, and

• You have decided that your group is the appropriate one to accomplish it

W HY S HOU L D Y OU D E V E L OP I N T E R V E N T I ON S ?
There are many strong advantages to using interventions as a means to achieve your goals. Some are very
apparent; some possibly less so. Some of the more important of these advantages are:

• By designing and implementing interventions in a clear, systematic manner, you can improve the health
and well-being of your community and its residents.

• Interventions promote understanding of the condition you are working on and its causes and solutions.
Simply put, when you do something well, people notice, and the word slowly spreads. In fact, such an
intervention can produce a domino effect, sparking others to understand the issue you are working on
and to work on it themselves.

Second Quarter/ Week 3/ Day 2

OBJECTIVE: Classify the different quantitative data collection techniques

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY!


Planning your research is indispensable for a successful study. After formulating good research
questions for your title, the question of how are you going to gather necessary data emerges.
What data collection techniques are you going to use? How are you going to establish the
reliability and validity of these techniques you are going to use? For you to be able to know the
appropriate techniques such as interview, survey, observation, and document review, which you
will use in your research, read carefully the lesson below. Data Collection is the process of
gathering and measuring information on targeted variables in an established system, which then
enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes (Wikipedia).

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

Quantitative data collection is commonly used for gathering data of large population. What do you think are the
pros and cons of each type of data collection?

WHAT’S NEW!
Factors to be considered before collection of data
• Objectives and scope of the inquiry (research question)
• Sources of information (type, accessibility)
• Quantitative expression (measurement, scale)
• Techniques of data collection
• Unit of collection

3 Major Types of Interviews


o Telephone interviews
▪ For years telephone interviews ruled the charts of data collection methods. However, nowadays
there is a significant rise in conducting video interviews using the internet, Skype or similar
online video calling platforms.
o Face-to-face interviews
▪ It is a proven technique to collect data directly from the participants. It helps in acquiring quality
data as it provides a scope to ask detailed questions and probing further to collect rich and
informative data.
o Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI)
▪ It is nothing but a similar setup of the face-to-face interview where the interviewer carries a
desktop or laptop along with him at the time of interview to upload the data obtained from the
interview directly into the database.

2 major types of survey questionnaires are used to collect online data


o Web-based questionnaire
▪ This is one of the ruling and most trusted methods for internet-based research or online research.
In a web-based questionnaire the receive an email containing the survey link, clicking on which
takes the respondent to a secure online survey tool from where he/she can take the survey or fill in
the survey questionnaire.
o Mail Questionnaire
▪ In a mail questionnaire the survey is mailed out to a host of sample population enabling the
researcher to connect with the wide range of audience. The mail questionnaire typically consists
of a packet containing a cover sheet that introduces the audience about the type of research and
reason why it is being conducted along with a prepaid return to collect data online.

Teacher: ___________________________________________________ Grade Level: _______________

Types of Questionnaires
o Open – unlimited responses
o Closed – limits the scope of responses
o Combination – combination of open and closed questionnaires
4 Types of Questions
o Multiple Choice
▪ Allows respondents to select answer/s from the list
o Ranking
▪ Asks respondents to rank the given items
o Scales
▪ Respondents to give his/her degree of agreement to a statement
o Open – ended Essay Type
▪ Single line input, etc.

Features of a good questionnaire


1. It should contain a good letter to the respondents which states
a. the purpose of the survey
b. an assurance of confidentiality
c. the name of the researcher or writer of the questionnaire
2. There is a descriptive title/name of the questionnaire
3. It is designed to achieve objectives
4. The directions are clear
5. It is designed for easy tabulation
6. It avoids the use of double negatives
7. It also avoid double-barrelled questions
8. It phrases questions well for all respondents

Note
A self – made questionnaire by the researcher should be content validated by experts, as well as be tested as the
samples in one’s study. On the other hand, permission form the author should be sought if validated
questionnaires will be used.
2 Types of Observation
o Naturalistic observation
▪ needs keen observations skills and senses for getting the numerical data about the “what” and not
about “why” and ”how”.
o Structured observation
▪ In this type of observation method the researcher has to make careful observations of one or more
specific behaviors in a more comprehensive or structured setting compared to naturalistic or
participant observation.

3 primary document types that are being analyzed for collecting supporting quantitative research data
o Public Records
▪ Under this document review, official, ongoing records of an organization are analyzed for further
research.
• Example: annual reports policy manuals, student activities, game activities in the university,
etc.
o Personal Documents
▪ deals with individual personal accounts of individuals actions, behavior, health, physique, etc.
• Example, the height, and weight of the students, distance students are traveling to attend the
school, etc.
o Physical Evidences
Page 8 of 20
Module Code: PASAY-PR2-Q2-W3-D1

Name: ____________________________________________________ Track/Strand: _______________


Teacher: ___________________________________________________ Grade Level: _______________

▪ Physical evidence or physical documents deal with previous achievements of an individual or of


an organization in terms of monetary and scalable growth.

▪ Examples of Document Review


• Course syllabi • Strategic plans
• Faculty journals • Newspapers
• Meeting minutes

Generalization

Interview • Questions are given in a specific order and a same way to the
interviewees.
• It possesses three major parts (1) the opening; (2) the body; (3) the
closing.

Survey • Surveys can be researcher – made, validated by their teacher and


experts in the field
• Surveys can be adapted, published and validated by experts, and
used in other researches
Observation • Non – responsive sample subjects are a non – issue
• Analysis may rely heavily on experts who must know what to
observe

MODULE IN PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2


Second Quarter/ Week 3/ Day 4

OBJECTIVE: Write the research methodology

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY!


This chapter describes the research design, respondents and sampling procedure, research
instruments, data gathering procedure and statistical tools that were utilized in the study.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

Differentiate research methods and research methodology.

Research Methods Research Methodology

WHAT’S NEW!
What is research methodology?

Research methodology simply refers to the practical “how” of any given piece of
research. More specifically, it’s about how a researcher systematically designs a
study to ensure valid and reliable results that address the research aims and
objectives.
For example, how did the researcher go about deciding:
• What data to collect (and what data to ignore)
• Who to collect it from (in research, this is called “sampling design”)
• How to collect it (this is called “data collection methods”)
• How to analyze it (this is called “data analysis methods”)

Teacher: ___________________________________________________ Grade Level: _______________

✓ In a dissertation, thesis, academic journal article (or pretty much any formal piece of research), you’ll
find a research methodology chapter (or section) which covers the aspects mentioned above.
Importantly, a good methodology chapter in a dissertation or thesis explains
not just what methodological choices were made, but also explains why they were made.

✓ In other words, the methodology chapter should justify the design choices, by showing that the chosen
methods and techniques are the best fit for the research aims and objectives, and will provide valid and
reliable results. A good research methodology provides scientifically sound findings, whereas a poor
methodology doesn’t.

How to write a research methodology


The methodology chapter explains what you did and how you did it, allowing readers to evaluate the reliability
and validity of the research. It should include:

• The type of research you did


• How you collected your data
• How you analyzed your data
• Any tools or materials you used in the research
• Your rationale for choosing these methods

The methodology section should generally be written in the past tense.

Tips for writing a strong methodology


✓ Focus on your objectives and research questions
The methodology section should clearly show why your methods suit your objectives and convince the
reader that you chose the best possible approach to answering your problem statement and research
questions.

✓ Cite relevant sources


Our methodology can be strengthened by reference to existing research in the field, either to:

• Confirm that you followed established practices for this type of research
• Discuss how you evaluated different methodologies and decided on your approach
• Show that you took a novel methodological approach to address a gap in the literature

✓ Write for your audience

Consider how much information you need to give, and don’t go into unnecessary detail. If you are using
methods that are standard for your discipline, you probably don’t need to give lots of background or
justification. But if you take an approach that is less common in your field, you might need to explain and
justify your methodological choices.

✓ Discuss obstacles
If you encountered difficulties in collecting or analyzing data, explain how you dealt with them. Show how you
minimized the impact of any unexpected obstacles. Pre-empt any major critiques of your approach and
demonstrate that you made the research as rigorous as possible.

The following are examples of what is included in the chapter research methodology

RESEARCH DESIGN

✓ This study is a non – experimental or an experimental research.

✓ This design is appropriate in the study because ________________

✓ Specifically, this is a (descriptive or correlational design) or (quasi – experimental or true


experimental).

✓ (define the design)

RESPONDENTS AND SAMPLING PROCEDURE

✓ The respondents of the study were Grade 12 HUMSS students. Initially, there were 200 students but
were reduced to 137 after getting the actual number of respondents through the use of Slovin’s Formula.

✓ The study used a (probability or non – probability sampling technique) particularly (simple random
sampling, systematic random sampling, stratified random sampling) or (quota sampling, snowball,
convenience sampling).

✓ A random number table was generated through MS Excel with the formula = 𝑁 ∗ 𝑅𝐴𝑁𝐷() for random
sampling.

✓ The lottery method was executed for random sampling.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

✓ The instrument used in this study was the (interview schedule, checklist, questionnaire) developed (or
adapted) by the researchers. The instrument was validated by experts in the field.

✓ The instrument is consisting of 2 parts. Part I is a yes or no questions to find answers on


_________________. Part II is a 5 – point Likert scale to attest the level of _____________.

COLLECTION OF DATA
✓ The study utilized (interview, observation, survey, document review) method in the collection of data.
The following were the procedures in the data collection phase:
1. Constructed the research instrument.
2. Planned the sampling technique and identified the respondents of the study.
3. Prepared different letters for consent purposes.
4. Let the research adviser/teacher checked the instrument.
5. Sought for validation and approval for the conduct of data collection.
