NATURE OF INQUIRY AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by
gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational
techniques.
* collects information from existing and potential customers using sampling methods and
sending out online surveys, online polls, questionnaires, etc., the results of which can be
depicted in numerical form.
*is mostly conducted in the social sciences using the statistical methods stated above to
collect quantitative data from the research study.
EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
A. Experimental
- A quantitative research that treats or deals with the object or subject of the
research in a definite or exact manner and determines the extent of the effects or
influence of the treatment on the object/subject, then discovers the causes of such
effects. Two groups are involved in an experimental research; experimental group,
factors which the treatment or influence is applied, and the control group, which does

not receive any treatment. For example if you want to know the effectiveness of flash
card to the mathematical ability of grade 7, you divide the grade 7 into two groups, the
experimental group where you are going to use flash card and the control group where
flash card is not used.
B. Descriptive
- Descriptive research is defined as a research method that describes the
characteristics of the population or phenomenon studied. This methodology focuses
more on the “what” of the research subject than the “why” of the research subject. The
descriptive research method primarily focuses on describing the nature of a
demographic segment, without focusing on “why” a particular phenomenon occurs. In
other words, it “describes” the subject of the research, without covering “why” it
happens. For example, an apparel brand that wants to understand the fashion purchasing
trends among Cagayano buyers will conduct a demographic survey of this region,
gather population data and then conduct descriptive research on this demographic
segment. The study will then uncover details on “what is the purchasing pattern of
Cagayano buyers,” but not cover any investigative information about “why” the
patterns exits. Because for the apparel brand trying to break into this market,
understanding the nature of their market is the study’s objective.
C. Correlational Research
- Correlational research is a type of non-experimental research method in which a
researcher measures two variables, understands and assesses the statistical relationship
between them with no influence from any extraneous variable and shows the correlation
09069204374
between two variables For example if you want to know or to find out the correlation
of being an only child and academic performance. We have two variables here, being
and only child and academic performance.
D. Evaluation Research
- Evaluation research, also known as program evaluation, refers to research purpose
instead of a specific method. Evaluation research is the systematic assessment of the
worth or merit of time, money, effort and resources spent in order to achieve a goal.
For example is when you want to know whether Solid Waste Management (RA 9003)
is practiced in the barangays or not.
E. Survey Research
- Survey Research is defined as the process of conducting research using surveys
that are sent to survey respondents. The data collected from surveys is then
statistically analyzed to draw meaningful research conclusions. For example when
you want to know the preference of parents and learners in terms of modality of
learning in the midst of Covid - 19 pandemic.
F. Causal-Comparative Research
- A causal-comparative design is a research design that seeks to find relationships
between independent and dependent variables after an action or event has already
occurred. The researcher's goal is to determine whether the independent variable
affected the outcome, or dependent variable, by comparing two or more groups of
individuals. There are similarities and differences between causal-comparative
research, also referred to as ex post facto research, and both correlational and
09069204374
experimental research. For example is when you want to know or discover the effect of

ACTIVITY 2:
DIRECTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS
Activity 1. Given the scenario below, provide five descriptions of inquiry and five for
Quantitative Research.
An example of quantitative research is the survey conducted to understand the
amount of time a doctor takes to tend to a patient when the patient walks into the
hospital. A patient satisfaction survey template can be administered to ask questions
like how much time did a doctor take to see a patient, how often a patient walks into a
hospital, and other such questions similar to such.

Activity 2. Write T before each number if the statement is correct and F if the statement

___1. Quantitative research design is the most reliable and valid way of
concluding results, giving way to a new hypothesis or to disproving it.

___2. Quantitative methods also tend to turn out only proven or unproven
results, leaving little room for uncertainty, or gray areas.
__3. Quantitative research cannot be costly, difficult and time-consuming
difficult because most researchers are non-mathematicians.
__4. Methods or procedures of data gathering include items like age, gender,
educational status, among others, that call for immeasurable characteristics of the
population.
__5. Quantitative methods cannot be repeated to verify findings in another
setting, thus, reinforcing validity of findings.
__6. Quantitative research puts emphasis on proof, rather than discovery.
__7. Just like qualitative research, quantitative research has its own set of
strengths, as well as weaknesses.
__8. Quantitative experiments filter out external factors, if properly
designed, and so the results gained can be seen, as real and unbiased.
__9.Because of a smaller number of the sample of a population, the results or
generalizations are more reliable and valid.
__10. Quantitative studies require extensive statistical treatment, requiring
stringent standards, more so with confirmation of results.
Activity 3. In the word pool, classify the following word/group of words if it is
strength or weakness of Quantitative Research. Write only the letter on the table

provided.
A. If not done seriously and correctly, data from questionnaires may be incomplete and inaccurate.
B. It is objective.
C. Much information is difficult to gather using structured research instruments.
D. The use of statistical techniques facilitates analyses and allows you to comprehend a huge
amount of vital characteristics of data.
E. It is costly.
F. The numerical data can be analyzed in a quick and easy way.
G. Quantitative studies are replicable.
H. It requires a large number of respondents.
I. The information
J. On contextual factors to help interpret the results or to explain variations are usually ignored.
K. Less prone to sampling bias.
L. Quantitative is observable.
