RESEARCH DESIGN

WHAT IS RESEARCH DESIGN?

Research design – is a plan that will be

implemented in order to answer the research
questions.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD

RESEARCH DESIGNS

1. Descriptive – research design aims to obtain information to

systematically describe a phenomenon, situation or
population. It helps to answer the WHAT, WHEN,
WHERE,HOW questions regarding the research problem
2. Causal comparative – is to identify the cause and
effect relationship between dependent and
independent variable. The researcher compares 2
groups to find out whether the independent variable
affected or influenced the outcome
3. Correlational – investigates relationships between
variables without the researcher controlling or
manipulating any of them.

A correlation reflects the strength and/ or direction of

the relationship between two or more variables. The
direction of correlation can be either positive or
negative or zero(no relationship)
4. Experimental
a. Quasi Experimental design – aims to establish
cause and effect relationship between an independent
and depenedent variable.Respondents are assigned to
groups based on on-random criteria.
4. Experimental
b. True experimental design- is one of the most
accurate forms of research design where respondents
and participants are randomly selected and
manipulation and assigning is non existent.
