Introduction
What comes first to your mind when you encounter the word research? Inquiry?
Many mistakenly think that Inquiry and Research are completely different from each other.
However, these two terms are almost the same in meaning. Both involve in seeking for
information to have a logical view in understanding things by augmenting knowledge,
resolving doubt, or solving a problem. An inquiry is looking for information through
investigating in order to understand events around us while research is discovering truths
by investigating on your chosen topic scientifically.
Research can be a way of life; it is the basis for many of the important decision in
our lives. Without it, we are deluged with information, subjected to the claims of
advertisers, or influenced by hearsay in making sense of the world around us. This
experimental research helps us decode the flood of information we encounter every day.
Research begins by asking the right questions and choosing appropriate method o
investigate the problem. After collecting answers to your questions, you can analyse the
findings or observations to draw appropriate conclusions.
You have already earned the methods quantitative research. Before you engage
yourself in conducting quantitative research, you have to know first the characteristics of
a good quantitative research.
2. The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the
population.
3. The research study can usually be replicated or repeated, given its high
reliability.
are sought.

5. All aspects of the study are carefully designed before data is collected.
6. Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often arranged in tables, charts,
7. Project can be used to generalize concepts more widely, predict future results,
numerical data.
Secondary data like census data, government or national statistics, health system
metrics, and so on, are often included in quantitative research. Quantitative research
approaches are the best used to answer what, when and who questions and are not well
appropriate to how and why questions.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Non-Experimental - Descriptive
- Correlational
Experimental - Quasi-Experimental
- Experimental
Descriptive research
- Deals with the research method which describes the characteristics of the population or
a phenomena that is being studied. The methodology part emphasizes more on the “what”
of the research subject rather than the “why” of the research study.
Correlational research
- According to Bhat (2019), it is a type of non experimental research method, in which the
researcher measures two variables, understands and assess through the statistical
relationship between them with no influence from any extraneous variable.
Quasi-experimental research
Experimental research

4. Looks at relationships between variables and may establish cause and effect in highly
controlled circumstances
8. Less detailed than qualitative data and should miss a desired response from the
participant
THEIR USES
3 types of variables defined by the context within which the variable is discussed
/ Independent variables act as the cause and predict the dependent variable.
8
G12 Research 2 Page 9
Example:
- The use of entrance exam scores (independent variable) to predict freshman grade point
averages (dependent variable).
/ Extraneous variables are those that affect the dependent variable but are not
controlled adequately by the researcher.
Example: Not controlling for the key-boarding skills of students in a study of comuter
assisted instruction
/ Confounding variables are those that vary systematically with the independent
variable and exert influence of the dependent variable.
Example: Not using counselors with similar levels of experience in a study comparing the
effectiveness of two counselling approaches.
- Students’ ages
/ Categorical variables are measured and assigned to groups on the basis of specific
characteristics.
Take note that the term level is used to discuss the groups or categories: Socio-
economic status has three levels: low, middle, and high and Gender has two levels, male
and female.
Example: IQ is a continuous variable, but the researcher can change to group students into
three levels based on IQ scores - low is below a score of 84, middle is between 85 and 115,
and high is above 116.

1. Nominal variables which variables that have two or more categories, nevertheless which
do not have an intrinsic order.
2. Dichotomous variables, these nominal variables which only have two categories or
levels. For example, if the researcher looking at gender, the researcher would categorize
it as either “male” or “female”.
3. Ordinal variables which the variables that has two or more categories just like nominal
variables only the categories can also be ranked or ordered. When you asked somebody
if they liked the policies of the Democratic Party and they could be answer either “Not
very much”, “They are OK” or “Yes, a lot” then you have an ordinal variable.
1. Interval variables, in this type of variable which the main characteristic is that they can
be measured along a continuum and they have a numerical value (for example, temperature
measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit). An then, the difference between 50’C and
60’C is the same as 70’C to 80’C. Nevertheless, temperature measured in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit is NOT a ratio variable.
2. Ratio variables are interval variables, but with the added condition that 0 (zero) of the
measurement indicates that there is none of that variable.
