1. What is Data Measurement?
It explains the variables in a data collection and the values allocated to them. The phrase
scale of measurement derives from two statistics keywords: measurement and scale. The
practice of documenting observations obtained as part of a study is known as
measurement.
2. What are the Scales of Data Measurement?
Nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio scale.

Define Data, Data Collection and Distinguish Between Grouped and Ungrouped Data
Data
Data is a collection of numbers about a specific topic or subject.
Data Collection
Data collection refers to the methods used to collect data from different sources for a purpose.
Ungrouped Data
Ungrouped data is data that is not grouped into classes or groups.
Grouped Data
Grouped data is data that is arranged into groups or classes.
Summary
Data can be defined as a collection of numbers about a specific topic or subject.
Data collection refers to the methods used to collect data from different sources for a particular
purpose.
Ungrouped data is data that is not grouped into classes or groups. It is also called raw data.
Grouped data is data that is organized into groups and classes and can be used for decisions.
Primary Data
• Are first-hand information gathered by the person who needs them.
• They may be observations or responses to a query.
Secondary Data
• Are second-hand information.
• They are taken from observations of others or responses to queries in researches.
To illustrate
Data gathered by a researcher for the purpose of a study. Primary Data
Data taken from reports of others. Secondary Data
Data in quantitative researches should be measurable.
Nominal Scale
Is one where specific values are assigned to a particular group. The values assigned have no
significant value and is used just for labeling purposes only.
Example
• Group 1 Male
• Group 2 Female
Ordinal Scale
It is different from the nominal scale, in a sense that the number obtained provide the rank or order of
the values.
Interval Scale
Is a scale where intervals are consistent, but it does not have a true zero point.
Ratio Scale
Is similar to the interval scale, except for the presence of an absolute zero point which means absence of
whatever is being measured.
Locus of Data
As we prepare for data collection, it is important that we know what data is needed, where they
are located, and how to gather them.
The Locus of the research is the place where data is to be gathered.
In quantitative research, it is common practice to gather data through instruments.
Activity
Classify each data according to source.
1. Profile of respondents according to gender. Nominal
2. Financial statement of a company taken from the internet. Interval
3. Population of the Philippines per region as of 2014. Interval
4. Enrolment statistics of a school for the last 5 years. Interval
5. Preferred computer games played by the youth. Ordinal
6. Combo meal preferred by grade 12 students of a school. Ordinal
7. Household size of families. Interval
8. Appliances owned by a group of families. Interval
9. Favorite subjects of a group of grade 10 students. Ordinal
10. Daily study time of high school students of a school. Ratio
Assignment time
Classify each of the following based on data measurement scales.
1. ID number. Interval
2. Number of subject per day. Interval
3. Brand of soft drinks available in the Philippines. Interval
4. " Favorite sports.” Ordinal
5. Number of pairs of shoes owned. Interval
Data Collection
Data gathering or collection is a process of collecting information regarding the variables that the
researcher sought to examine and to answer the objective/ s of the researcher.
Primary Sources
give you first hand accounts of what happened,
question the creator,
strengthen your argument,
and help develop knowledge and skills.
Secondary sources are documents that happen after an event in history. They are not originals
Secondary Sources
Text books
Reviews of artwork
Copies of pictures
Books about diaries
Biographies
Why do we even use Secondary sources?
Secondary sources are used to show new perspectives of events and people from the time it is written.
These sources also can tell us why events occurred. Secondary sources will strengthen your argument!
Data are like pieces of puzzle that give a better picture of the behavior or the performance of firm,
government, or society
For example, some consumers favor imposition of government tax in texting. If the researcher will only
ask five to ten people, the researcher cannot make a definite conclusion.
Data is important, for example, to help the company analyze its behavior or performance in terms of
sales, revenue, cost, etc.
An interview is an oral exchange of questions and answers, where the researcher will take down notes in
the questionnaire similar to what the agents of National Statistics Office are doing.
The most common method of collecting data is through the use of questionnaire. Questionnaires may
be handed personally, or sent through email or other forms of technology such as the social media.
To define the data needed by the researcher, we need to determine first the objective of the study.
If we want to get a better picture of the behavior of the four variables, we need to gather more
information or more time series data.
Data Source
Activity
Identify whether the variable can be obtained using primary (survey) or secondary (time series/cross
sectional) data.

Assignment
Answer the following:
1) What is data organization?
The activity of categorizing and classifying data to make it more useable is known as data
organization.
You'll need to organize your data in a logical and orderly manner, similar to how we organize
critical papers in a file folder, so you — and anybody else who accesses it — can simply locate
what you're searching for.
2) How to organize collected data?
Your information is almost certainly saved in one of the most prevalent structure types.
Tabular data is a type of file that is rectangular and flat.
This is data from a spreadsheet that is presently being used.
This is where the majority of research data is kept.
Xml files that may save data and metadata in the same file are known as hierarchical files.
To prevent redundancy, this structure is employed.
Relational databases store data in several tables and can handle large amounts of data as well as
complicated queries.
Understanding the structure of your data is critical to unlocking its value in any solid data
organization plan.
There are two types of data stories: structured and unstructured.
Unstructured data makes up 80 to 90 percent of the world's data, and it's expanding at a much
quicker rate than structured data.
Structured data is data that has been prepared, labeled, and arranged in databases.
It is simple to obtain, process, and evaluate.
Finding Answers Through Data Collection
Data Organization
After data are collected, they have to be properly organized. Organization refers to the process of
classifying data collected for ease interpretation.
Assuming that a researcher is interested in determining whether the price of a condominium unit
increases due to the following:
One of the most aspects in any statistical investigation is the manner by which the researcher
presents the data.
1. Textual
2. Tabular
3. Graphical Displays
Textual Presentation
The Philippine Stock Exchange composite index lost 7.19 points to 2,099.12 after trading
between 2,095.30 and 2,108.47.
Tabular
A more reliable and effective way of showing relationships or comparisons of data through the
use of tables. The tables must be accompanied by a short narrative explanation to make the facts
clearer and more understandable.
The following newspaper report presents a tabular data presentation
Country Peso
Japan 0.4140
Hongkong 6.5116
Switzerland 28.7382
Canada 32.9756
Singapore 28.7382
Graphical
The most effective way of presenting data through the use of statistical graph.
It can easily attract the attention as well as the interest of the reader.
Resume
is a longer academic diary that includes all your experience, certificates, and
publications.
1. A resume is one page (max. two) whereas the CV can be longer,
2. A resume is used for job hunting in all industries, the CV is used
for jobs and admissions in Academia,
3. The resume is tailored to the specific job you are applying to,
whereas the CV is a comprehensive overview.
Activity
For example, a study about salary in relationship to education level acquired, work experience & gender.
Dependent Variable - Salary
Independent Variable - education level acquired, work experience, and gender.
We need to set up our null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis of the study.
Null hypothesis is always a negative statement, while alternative hypothesis is always at the affirmative
statement. In this case, Null Hypothesis are:
(1) There is no significant relationship between education level acquired and salary of the respondent,
(2) There is no significant relationship between work experience and salary of the respondent, and
(3) There is no significant relationship between gender and salary.
We can encode the data in a spreadsheet and test the hypothesis of the study. A, B, and C are the
column header, and the number 1, 2, 3, are the rows. Figure 1.1 is a sample of the data set encoded in a
spreadsheet, where Figure 1.2 indicates the answers to be returned in column C based on the formula
encoded.
It is important to use the appropriate statistical tool in answering the objective of the study. Make sure
that the statistical tool will answer the problem of the objective of the study; the use of the statistical
tool will answer the problem or objective of the study.

Assignment :
Answer the following:
1) What is conclusion?
Finish with a quote from or a reference to a primary or secondary source that expands
on your main argument or puts it in a better perspective. A quote from, instance, the
novel or poem you're discussing may give richness and detail to your argument, and a
critic or scholar might aid corroborate or complicate your final conclusion.
2) What is recommendation?
A critical proposal on the best course of action in a given scenario is an example of
recommendation in a research report. The goal of a suggestion is to give a helpful guidance that
not only solves problems but also leads to a positive conclusion. Recommendations vary widely
and are significantly influenced by the circumstances. As a result, it is evident that a suggestion
example in a research report is always based on specific facts and cannot be speculated about
because it is not a hypothesis.
3) What is the significant difference of recommendation and summary of findings?
the key distinction between summary of findings and recommendations is that summary of
findings address how the study's findings may be relevant, whereas recommendations advocate
particular actions that need to be done in terms of policy, practice, theory, or future research.
There are two crucial subsections: summary of findings and suggestions. These two parts are
usually prepared towards the conclusion of a research project after it has been finished. The
part on recommendations usually comes after the section on ramifications.
Reporting and Sharing of Findings
Objective:
Discuss how to draw conclusions from research findings.
Drawing Conclusion
In a research project, the objectives of the study are properly laid down at the start. In the
conclusion, what is put forward is what is learned from the research.
It is devoted to a discussion of what happened, rather than what method was used.
In this part of the study, the researcher evaluates how well the research answered the objectives of the
study.
Take note that having a conclusion is not making a summary of the study. Instead, conclusion will have a
final judgement regarding the theory.
Conclusion
The researchers conclude that there is indeed a relationship between Mobile Legends and
lifestyle of a student. As the result shown from the tables provided in Chapter 4 of this study. In Table A
which showed that Mobile Legends has negative impact on lifestyle of the respondents, most of the
respondents agreed and also disagreed at the same time and others answered neutral in some
statements provided by the researchers. In Table B, which showed that Mobile Legends has positive
impact on lifestyle of the respondents, most of the participants disagreed in some statements given by
the researchers, there are some who strongly agreed and some are just neutral.
Making Inferences
What is an inference?
How can learning to make
inferences
make me a better reader?
clues (text evidence) + what you already know (prior know edge) = form an idea (make an Inference)
Objectives:
Discuss the characteristics of summary of findings and conclusion
Identify the things to avoid in writing chapter 5 of a research paper.
Characteristics of Conclusions
1. Conclusions are inferences, deductions, abstractions, implications, interpretation, general
statements, and/or generalizations based upon the findings.
2. Conclusions should appropriately answer the specific questions raised at the beginning of the
investigation in the order they are given under the statement of the problem.
3. Conclusions should point out what were factually learned from the inquiry.
4. Conclusions should be formulated concisely, that is, brief and short, yet they convey all the
necessary information.
Some dangers to avoid in drawing up conclusion based on quantitative data
1. Bias
2. Incorrect generalization
3. Incorrect deduction
4. Incorrect comparison
5. Abuse of correlation data
6. Limited information furnished by any o
7. Misleading
Recommendations
Guideline in writing the recommendation
1. It should have the aim and effort to solve problems in the study.
2. It should ensure a continuous benefit being accorded to the universe - mankind involved.
3. It should recommend positive solutions the problems.
Formulating Recommendations of Research Paper
When you draw a conclusion you use two things:
1.What you read from a story or a text
2.What you already know in your head (prior knowledge)
A conclusion is a decision you come to when you put these two them as together.
We can also draw conclusions from the illustrations or pictures in our text.
Summary
• The objective of this section is to refresh the reader's understanding of the 'findings' or 'results.
• Highlight the main or major findings that you had stated in Chapter 4. There is no need to
explain in detail the findings or results and avoid the temptation to copy and paste from
Chapter 4.
• Keep it simple and do not include too much research jargon so that someone who is not be in
the field can understand.
• In the case of quantitative research, use simple non-statistical language to summarize.
• Remember to write in the past tense. For example, "Job satisfaction as expressed by staff did
not vary according to leadership styles of the senior manager".
• For quantitative research, to ensure flow, it is suggested that you use the research questions or
hypotheses as a guide.
• Synthesize the findings and show how they converges answer the research questions.
• You also show how the findings of your study has contributed to existing understanding of
concepts identified in the works of other people - important to acknowledge the views of
others who share similar positions as those identified by your research. Compare and contrast
your findings or results with those of other researchers
• If you want to show that the findings of your study has policy implication, you must present a
brief description of the policy and how the findings from your study are relevant or relate to the
policy
• If you want to show how your study contributed towards your theoretical framework then
show how your work could influence the theoretical debate.
Recommendation
• First, it must be logical, specific, attainable and relevant.
• Second, it should be addressed to persons, organizations, or agencies directly concerned with
the issues or to those who can immediately implement the recommended solutions.
• Third, present another topic which is very relevant to the present study that can be further
investigated by future researchers. But never recommend anything that is your study or not
being mentioned in your findings.
Objectives:
Discuss how to formulate recommendations from research findings
After the conclusions are made, recommendations have to be proposed. The recommendation may
include suggestions based upon the conclusion of the study.
The results of the study may also lead to future research. Part of the recommendation may be
suggestion for future directions of the study.
Reporting Findings, Drawing Conclusions and Making Recommendations
(Making Recommendations Based on Conclusions)
Recommendations
the suggestions or methods on how to handle the conclusion.
the critical suggestions regarding the best course of action in a certain situation
provides a beneficial guide that will not only resolve certain issues, but will also result in a
beneficial outcome
always based on certain data and cannot be speculated.
urge specific actions to be taken with regard to policy, practice, theory, or subsequent research
The results of the research from the logical findings and conclusions need to have the
corresponding recommendations from the researchers. This will provide you ideas in writing your
recommendations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, these serve as practical suggestions for
future research in similar fields. They are envisioned to further improve the pertinent variables that
were the subject of the investigation undertaken.
Recommendations are expressed in clear and concise terms. They are relevant to the research
problems and feasible for implementation. The general recommendations may also be stated giving
suggested measures to concerned agencies, institutions, or to the government that may lead towards
the betterment of society in general.
The researcher's final recommendation is addressed to other researchers who may want to
pursue similar studies. Moreover, suggested topics of interest or variables are given. In the case that the
qualitative study is conducted to propose an intervention program, the recommendation will be the
adaptation of said program.
Title: Perceived Motivational Factors of Senior High Teachers in Using Social Media and Its Effects on
Senior High students in Pamplona National High School.
Findings:
1. The researchers learned that having no time for opening social media application due to lots of tasks
either academic or household chores is not the effect of integrating social media for educational
purposes.
2. The most frequent reasons of teachers why they are motivated to use social media for educational
purposes are- they just want to be updated on the school happenings and to communicate with other
faculty members and school administrator, and if needed only in their concerns with tasks.
Conclusions:
1. The researchers come up with a conclusion that the effect of social media's utilization for educational
purposes in terms of personal aspects, students can be able to search/ gather information or ideas
about certain issues.
2. The researchers concluded that the least effect to students of integrating social media for educational
purposes is lack of time for opening social media application due to lots of household chores and
academic tasks.
Title: Stress Management Skills Under Pressure in Line With Computer Connections of CSS 11 & 12
Students of Pamplona National High School (Rovy Jean Porlaje, 2019, Pamplona National HS, Pamplona,
Camarines Sur)
Findings:
1. Most frequent stressors of the students are school related stressors, followed by personal factors
such as the family issues, personal economic problems and inherent personality characteristics
encompass the students' lives.
2. Some students succumb into stress because of their looks. It lowered their self- confidence and self-
esteem because of unfair treatment of the world and some are fall into insecurity which is the down
cast.
3. Work overload of the students result in Hyper Stress that pushes students beyond what they can
handle. Little or simple things like school works trigger their emotional response that lead to serious
emotional and physical repercussion. Hypo Stress is the opposite which is the results when the students
bored by an unchallenged job such as working the same task over and over again. Because of these,
students trapped as restlessness and lack of inspiration.
Conclusions:
1. The problems of the students are different due to their uniqueness, adaptation, vulnerability,
involvements and simple excellent techniques specifically their locus of control.
2. Procrastination, thieve time, one attitude that is very common among a lot of students (more on
later) because of many circumstances diving headfirst into crossing consequences ahead. Every student
has a life outside the academic curriculum and school environment. Thereby, it hides awful matters
beyond those smiles enable to pretend and to become an extraordinary person.
3. So many students shine beyond those threatening stresses under severe pressure while others are
stocked.
Recommendations
It is a part of research paper which explains the study's relevance to the field and the
applicability of its findings to other similar or related studies in the future.
Title: Perceived Motivational Factors of Senior High Teachers in Using Social Media and Its Effects on
Senior High students in Pamplona National High School
Findings:
1. The most agreed impact of using social media for educational purposes along social factor is that,
schools are beginning to use facebook group to communicate with students.
2. The researchers found out that focusing on academic purposes is doubtful for there will be
interruptions such as online games, downloading videos, etc. is the least effect of using social media for
educational purposes.
Conclusions:
1. The researchers, therefore conclude that in terms of social factors, in which the integration of social
media by schools through creating facebook group paves way to create communication among teachers
and students.
2. Researchers concluded that among the following effects of using social media, the effects in academic
performance got a lowest average weighted mean therefore the students are slightly not affected about
it.
Recommendations:
1. To the students, the researchers recommend that the students must practice time management in
using social media, so that it cannot affect their academic performances.
2. The researchers would like to recommend teachers' consideration to students who do not have load,
do not have cellphone and those who are struggling with poor internet connection for they might not be
able to view photos or documents and might not get updated about any reminders.

3. So many students shine beyond those threatening stresses under severe pressure while others are
stocked.
Recommendations:
1. Accept that there are lots of things that you cannot control, because you are only a human not a
robot nor gods or goddesses having an immortal power. Just adjust your standards and always take a
break for a while and do something pleasurable things such as playing guitar or entering virtual world
and so many things that makes you happy to recharge yourself before the next wave of stress.
2. Keep a positive attitude; rather than defaulting to negatives, always smile. Keep moving forward when
fear what's ahead, always do your best and God will do the rest. Make a strong and greathearted
connection to all treasured persons especially to God and avoid those toxic relationships.
3. Manage your time properly, avoid procrastination, priority first then strategize.
The list of reference materials used in the conduct of the research study is very important for
the researchers to show in the final written research report.
Types of Sources
1. Primary Sources- research publications where researches report their findings.
2. Secondary Source-publications in which authors describe the work of others. Textbook is also an
example. Encyclopedia research review and yearbooks are also secondary sources for literature
review.
Citations
You can cite books, magazines, newspaper, computer articles, journal and film. These can be
your sources for your literature review.

APA is an author/date-based style. This means emphasis is placed on the author and the date of
a piece of work to uniquely identify it.
MLA is most often applied in the arts and humanities, particularly in the USA
HARVARD is very similar to APA. It is the most well used referencing style in the UK and
Australia, and it is encouraged for use with the humanities.
CHICAGO AND TURABIAN are two separate styles but are very similar. They are also widely used
for history and economics.
The components of reference entry are as follows:
1. Author's Name: Type the surname first then the first, followed by a comma, then the first name
and the middle initial. If there are two to six authors, all their names are written. If there are
more than six, the remaining authors can be represented by the words, "et al"
2. Year of Publication. It should follow the period after the author's name and should be enclosed
in parentheses.
3. Book Title. The complete title and edition should be written. The entire book title should be
italicized or underlined. Only the first letter of the first word and proper names must be
capitalized.
4. Journal Title. The title of the article in roman face and sentence case (only the first letter of the
first word and proper names must be capitalized) appears first. The title of the journal itself
appears in italics and in title case ( the first letter of each substantial word is capitalized).
5. Place of Publication. The place where the book was published should be written, followed by a
colon.
6. Publishing House. The name of the publishing house follows the place of publication.
