Experimental Research
Experimental research is an attempt by
the researcher to maintain control over
all factors that may affect the result of
an experiment. In doing this, the
researcher attempts to determine or
predict what may occur.
Experimental Design
Experimental reseacrh is a quantitative
research that treats or deals with the
object or subject of the research in a
definite or exact manner and
deteremines the extent of the effects or
influence of the treatment on the
subject, then discovers the causes of
such effect.
Experimental Study Steps
Identifyand define the problem.
Formulate hypothesis and deduce its
consequence.
Construct an experimental that represents all
the elements, conditions, and relations to the
consequence.
Conduct the experiment.
Compile raw data and reduce to usable form.
Apply an appropriate test of significance.
Research Essentials
Manipulation of an independent
variable.
All variables except the dependent
variable are held constant (control).
Manipulation of the dependent
variable by the independent variable is
observed (observation).
Experimental Control
Experimental control attempts to
predict events that will occur in the
experimental setting by neutralizing the
effects of other factors.
Control Methods
Physical control
Selective control
Statistical control
Physical Control
Gives all subjects equal exposure to the
independent variable.
Controls non-experimental variables
that effect the dependent variable.
Selective Control
Indirectly manipulate by selecting in or
out variables that cannot be controlled.
Statistical Control
Variables not conducive to physical or
selective manipulation may be
controlled by statistical techniques.
