Designs a Research Used in Daily Life
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and
circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and accomplish.
Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner is capable and
empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and skills at your own pace
and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process
the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

Lesson
Designs a Research Used in daily life
4
Research leads to important discoveries which hopefully make life more rewarding,
less stressful, and less burdensome. Not all discoveries have been for the benefit of most of
mankind even to the point of being deadly. This tends to be the downside of research. But,
because we are only human, this will always be reflected in our research both our flaws and
all the things that are good about us.
Research is important in our daily life because it provides information that allows us
to make informed decisions. For example: People in a town are all getting sick with the same
illness as evidenced by the same symptoms. We need to find the cause of the illness, how to
treat it, and how to stop more people from getting sick. We might guess what the cause is: it
could be evil spirits are attacking the people who are practicing black magic; or it could be a
contamination of the water source; or it could be a contagious disease that will run it's
course--but how do we limit the spread? Research can help narrow down the options,
identify the treatment that has been the most affective and rule out what it isn't. When
medicines are made, they are made through research--trial and error and testing. Research
tells us what has happened in the past, and helps us predict what might happen in the
future.

What is It
The Role of Research
A. Pre-Experimental design. A type of research apply to experimental design that with least
internal validity. One type of pre-experiment, the simple group, pre-test-post-test design,
measures the group two times, before and after the intervention. Instead of comparing
the pretest with the posttest within one group, the posttest of the treated groups is compared
with that of an untreated group. Measuring the effect as the difference between groups
marks this as between-subjects design.
B. Two classifications of experimental design that can provide better internal validity than pre-
experimental designs are: quasi-experimental and true experimental design (Dooly, 1999).
C. Quasi – Pre-Experimental design- in this design, the researcher can collect more data,
either by scheduling more observations or finding more existing measures. Quasi-
experimental design involves selecting groups, upon which a variable is tested, without any
random pre-selection processes.
1. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
A. Survey - It is used to gather information from groups of people by selecting and studying
samples chosen from a population. This is useful when the objective of the study is to see
general picture of the population under investigation in terms of their social and economic
characteristics, opinions, and their knowledge about the behavior towards a certain
phenomenon.
B. Correlational. It is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction,
association’s and/or relationship between different variables or groups of respondents under
study. Correlational Research has three types these are:
a. Bivariate Correlational Studies –It obtains score from two variables for each subject,
and then uses them to calculate a correlation coefficient. The term bivariate implies
that the two variables are correlated (variables are selected because they are believed
to be related).Example: Children of wealthier (variable one), better educated
(variable 2) parents earn higher salaries as adults.
b. Prediction Studies –It uses correlation coefficient to show how one variable (the
predictor variable) predicts another (the criterion variable).Example: Which senior high
school applicants should be admitted to college?
c. Multiple Regression Prediction Studies –All variables in the study can contribute to
the over-all prediction in an equation that adds together the predictive power of each
identified variable.
Example: Suppose the High School GPA is not the sole predictor of college GPA, what
might be other good predictors?
D. Comparative It involves comparing and contrasting two or more samples of study subjects
on one or more variables, often at a single point of time. Specifically, this design is used to
compare two distinct groups on the basis of selected attributes such as knowledge
level, perceptions, and attitudes, physical or psychological symptoms.
D. Normative. It describes the norm level of characteristics for a given behavior. For
example: If you are conducting a research on the study habits of the high school students
you are to use the range of score to describe the level of their study habits. The same
true is when you would want to describe their academic performance.
F. Evaluative It is a process used to determine what has happened during a given activity or in
an institution. The purpose of evaluation is to see if a given program is working, an
institution is successful according to the goals set for it, or the original intent was
successfully attained.
