RESEARCH-PROJECT REVIEWER

Research Study
 It is a type of paper that is systematic, requires critical analysis, and follows steps in order to draw conclusions.
Quantitative Research
 systematic empirical investigation of social phenomena that is presented through
statistical, mathematical, or numerical data or computational techniques.
 method used when you are conducting a survey
 Quantitative social researchers rarely claim to have established causality because they tend to use cross-sectional designs,
which produce only correlations.
 Written accounts of quantitative research rarely include the results of reliability and validity test because researchers are
more interested in reporting their substantive findings.
 Quantitative research has clearly defined research questions because at the beginning, the researchers already know what
they should look for.
 Using statistical techniques help you arrive with sophisticated analyses and allow you to comprehend small amount of data
that are vital to the study
 Numerical data CANNOT be analyzed quickly and easily
Internet
 used to gather information from groups of people by selecting and studying samples chosen from a population
Methodological
 The implementation of a variety of methodologies forms a critical part of achieving the goal of developing a scale matched
approach.
 Methodological design involves comparing two or more samples of study subjects on one or more variables.
Correlational
 Conducted by researchers whose aim is to find out the direction, associations and/or relationship between different variables
or groups of respondents under study.
 Know the relationship between VARIABLES.
 Example: Rosalyn can't decide which type of research she will use in her study about the relationship between animals
and humans.
Experimental
 This allows the researcher to control the situation.
 Controls both time-related and group-related threats.
 Example: Alfred randomly grouped the participants into two and tested the effects of his new product towards their
endurance.
 The researchers can collect more data, either by scheduling more observations or finding more existing measures.
Normative
 Involves comparing and contrasting two or more samples of study subjects on one or more variables, often at a single point
of time.
 Example: conducting research on the study habits of the high school students, you are to use the range of scores to
describe their academic performance.
Descriptive
 Know the preference or description of variables.
 Example: Savannah plans to conduct a study that involves cosmectics. She wanted to know the preference of cosmetic
us among adolescents, young adult, middle adult and the late adult women.
Evaluative
 To see if a given program is working, an institution is successful according to the goals.
 Example: A test of children in school is used to assess the effectiveness of teaching or the deployment of a curriculum.
Explanatory
 Example: Oliver would like to know the causes of poverty in the Philippines.
True-experimental
 Controls both time-related and group-related threats.
Non-experimental
 The researcher observes the phenomena by the way it occurs naturally and in this kind of research does not introduce
external variables.
Topic
 Choose an interesting topic
Field
 Choose a topic relevant to your field.
Significant
 Select a significant topic
4 STEPS IN DEVELOPING A RESEARCH PROBLEM
STEP 1: Choose a broad topic
STEP 2: Do a preliminary research
STEP 3: Define the problem
STEP 4: Refine the question
IMPORTANCE OF MEASUREMENT IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
 Allows for exact estimates of the degree of relationship between concepts
 Provides a consistent device or yardstick
 It allows us to delineate fine differences between people or cases.
