1. Data is in the form of words, pictures or objects.

2. The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments.
3. It is not based upon numerical measurements and does not use numbers
and
statistical methods as key research indicators and tools.
4. It tends to be associated with small-scale studies and a holistic
perspective,
often studying a single occurrence or small number of occurrences/case
studies in great depth.
5. The research study can usually be replicated or repeated, given its high
reliability.
6. Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often arranged in tables,
charts,
figures, or other non-textual forms.
7. Emphasis is on discovery rather than proof.
8. The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of
the
population.
9. It tends to be associated with emergent research design, using a wide range
of
approaches
10. Researcher has a clearly defined research question to which objective
answers are sought

II. MATCHING TYPE. Match item in COLUMN A with those of COLUMN B by

placing the letter of the correct answers in the space provided in column A from
among the choices I column B.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. the posttest of the treated groups is

how L. Pre-Experimental

predicts another (the criterion variable) M. Quasi Experimental
8. employs both treated and control
groups
N. True Experimental
