CORRELATIONAL
1. Also known as ex post facto
EVALUATION (after the fact).
2. Derives conclusion from
SURVEY observation and manifestations
that already occurred in the past
and now compared to some
CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE dependent variable.
3. Discusses WHY and HOW
phenomenon occurs.
EXPERIMENTAL

DESCRIPTIVE
1. Utilizes scientific method to
CORRELATIONAL test cause-and-effect
relationships under conditions
controlled by the researcher.
EVALUATION 2. An effort is made to
determine and impose control
SURVEY over all other variables except
one.
3. An independent variable is
CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE manipulated to determine the
effects on the dependent
EXPERIMENTAL variable.
