Research
OBJECTIVE
Not based on mere
intuitions and guesses.
CLEARLY DEFINED
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
To know in advance what
you are looking for.
STRUCTURED RESEARCH
INSTRUMENTS
Data are normally
gathered using structured
research tools.
NUMERICAL DATA
Data are normally
gathered using structured
research tools.
LARGE SAMPLE SIZES
Random sampling is
recommended to avoid
researcher’s bias in
interpreting the results.
REPLICATION
Reliable quantitative studies
can be repeated to verify the
correctness of the results in
another setting.
FUTURE OUTCOMES
 By using complex mathematical
calculations and with the aid of
computers, if-then scenarios may
be formulated thus predicting
future results.

if not done seriously
and correctly
 this depends on the
researcher’s aim in
conducting the study.
DESCRIPTIVE
RESEARCH
Descriptive Concerned with
describing the nature,
characteristics and
components of the
population.
Descriptive This methodology focuses
more on the “what” of
the research subject rather
than the “why” of the
research subject.
 Example:
Descriptive • Hours SHS students spend in
social media
• Number of malnourished
students who failed the
achievement test
• How healthy is the food served
in canteen
CORRELATIONAL
RESEARCH
Correlational
Tests for the
relationships
between two
variables.
Correlational
Done to establish
what is the effect
of one on the
other.
Correlational Example:
• If quiz results can be used
to predict performance in
the examination.
• the higher the quiz grade,
the higher most likely be
the score in the exam.
Correlational Example:
• If gender is related to
mathematical ability
• Occupation and
lifespan
SURVEY
RESEARCH
 Uses interviews,
questionnaires and
sampling polls to get a
Survey

sense of behavior with

intense precision.
  Usually expressed in
percentage.
 Can be done in one group.
 Or compare several
Survey

groups.
 Respondents are sampled
at random.
EXPERIMENTAL
RESEARCH
Experimental
Guided by
hypothesis.
Hypothesis – a statement to be
proven or disproved.
Experimental Called “true
experimentation.”
Uses the scientific
method to establish the
cause-and-effect
relationship among a
group of variables.
Experimental
Example:
• Teacher’s new
teaching
strategy.
ABM
• Help design new product
• Estimates consumer
attitudes and behavior,
market sizing and market
tactics.
STEM
• Measures clinical and
methodologic standards in
medicinal prescription and
lab experimentation.
STEM
• Helps providing engineering
and architectural designs.
• Develop new materials and
procedures
HUMSS
• Measures human
attributes/behavior and
analyzes psychological
processes.
HUMSS
• Provide solutions to the
societal problems
• A central concept
in research.
• Represent persons or
objects that can be
manipulated, controlled, or
measured for the sake of
research.
• Factors or conditions
that can change during
the course of an
experiment.
DISCRETE
• Countable where the
range of specified
values is complete.
 • Has limited number
DISCRETE
of values which
cannot be divided
into fractions.
 Examples:
• Gender
DISCRETE
• Ethnicity
• Number of children in
family
• Classroom attendance
CONTINUOUS
- Infinite number of
possible values.
- Obtained by
measuring.
CONTINUOUS
• Can be divided into
fractions.
• Age, height, and
temperature.
Age can be 17.5 y/o
continuous
Your parents cannot have
4.5 children
discrete
INDEPENDENT
• Causes a change
especially on other
variables
• Can be controlled to
monitor such changes.
INDEPENDENT
• The cause
variable
• Bring out changes
DEPENDENT
• Result from the
independent variables.
• The variable being
tested and monitored.
DEPENDENT • The outcome
variable
• Effect of the changes
brought by another
variable

1. Research is
advantageous not only to
students but to life as a
whole.
2. Research can
be done even
informally.
3. Research requires no
step-by-step procedure
for as long as results are
obtained.
4. Empirical data
should be gathered and
analyzed before arriving
at a conclusion.
5. Survey research is
concerned in describing
the nature, characteristics
of the population.
6. Widely recognized as
an important tool for
solving man’s various
problems.
7. Tests for the
relationships between
two variables.
