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.

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?
Page 6 of 20
Module Code: PASAY-PR2-Q2-W3-D1
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
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.
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

EVALUATION
Direction: Write true if the statement is correct and false if it is wrong.
_______ 1. Interview schedule is a list of questions you are going to ask during your interview.
_______ 2.A structured Interview is when there are no specific set of predetermined questions.
_______ 3. In quantitative data collection using the interview, the interviewers (researchers) can change the
questions at any time and ask follow – up questions to the interviewee’s responses.
_______4. Consistency of data collection in the interview can be increased by asking the same set of questions
to the interviewees in the same order in the exact same way.
_______ 5. Reliability of the interview is established by following the standard, the format, and the specific
order of questions.
_______ 6. In a structured observation, researchers gathered data with direct involvement with the participants.
_______ 7. Structured observation has high validity when participants know they are being watched.
_______8. Naturalistic observation is more reliable because there is no manipulation of variables.
_______ 9. Questionnaire is more applicable to use rather than observation and interview when your research
concerns about the demographic profile of students in Pasay City South High School.
_______10. Interview can be used in experimental research.
_______ 11. Open ended questions are more on quantitative data.
_______12. If the researchers become too involved they may lose the objectivity and become bias. This
reducing validity.
_______ 13. Group interviews are less reliable as they use open questions and may deviate from the interview
schedule.
_______ 14. The questionnaires are standardized. All respondents are asked exactly the same questions on the
same order. Easy to check its reliability.
_______ 15. Unstructured interview has increased validity because it gives the interviewer the opportunity to
probe for a deeper understanding, ask clarification and allow the interviewee to steer the direction of the
interview.

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”)

Module Code: PASAY-PR2-Q2-W3-D4
✓ 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.
• 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
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
