KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE

RESEARCH
1. Descriptive Research
Non-experimental; does not manipulate
variables, describes patterns of data in
percentages, mean, median, and mode.

* how many hours senior high school spend in

 KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
2. Correlational Research
determines relationship between two variables without
necessarily investigating the causal reasons underlying them – it
is also concerned with the extent of relationship: positive or
negative; high, moderate, or low relationship.

* if the pre-board examination results can be used to predict

performance in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET),
then the higher the pre board grade, most likely be the score
on the LET.

4. Survey Research
- is used to gather information from groups of people
by selecting and studying samples chosen from a
population it may be done in various ways like face to
face, phone, mail and online.
If the pre-board examination results can be used to predict
performance in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET),

5. Causal-Comparative Research
-- It is also known as ex post facto (after the fact)
research. It derives conclusion from observations and
manifestations that already occurred in the past and
now compared to some dependent variables.
A researcher is interested in how weight influences
stress-coping level of adult.

RESEARCH
6. Experimental Research -Utilizes scientific
method to test cause-and-effect relationships under
conditions controlled by the researcher.
True Experimental Design
Experimental Group R O1 X O2
Control Group R O1 O2
Where: R = randomly sampled individuals in group
O1 = pre-test (before treatment)
X = treatment or intervention
O2 = post-test (after treatment)
