Question/ Instruction:
What I Have Learned
Directions: Write your learning about the following:
[Link] is quantitative research?
[Link] are the characteristics of quantitative research?
[Link] the strengths of quantitative research.
[Link] the weaknesses of quantitative resear
[Link] each type of quantitative design and give one (1) example for each kind.
a. Descriptive design.
b. Correlational design.
c. Ex post facto design.
d. Quasi-experimental design
e. Experimental design.
Answer:
1. What I have learned is that quantitative research is a way to learn about a certain group of
individuals, known as a sample population. Using scientific inquiry, quantitative research
depends on data that are observed or measured to examine questions about the participant
population.
2. The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments.
-The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the population.
-The research study can usually be replicated or repeated, given its high reliability.
-The researcher has a clearly defined research question to which objective answers are
sought.
All aspects of the study are carefully designed before data is collected.
-Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often arranged in tables, charts, figures, or
other non-textual forms.
-Project can be used to generalize concepts more widely, predict future results, or
investigate causal relationships.
-The researcher uses tools, such as questionnaires or computer software, to collect numerical
data.
3. Quantitative studies' great strength is providing data that is descriptive—for example,
allowing us to capture a snapshot of a user population—but we encounter difficulties when
it comes to their interpretation.
4. It requires a large number of respondents or it is assumed that the larger the sample is the
more statistically accurate the findings are..Also it is costly since the expenses will be
greater in reaching out to these people and in producing questionnaires unlike qualitative
research..However, the information is contextual factors to help interpret the results but
much information are difficult to gather using structured research [Link] not done
seriously and correctly the data from questionnaires may be incomplete and inaccurate .
5. a. Descriptive design.
--Descriptive-status For example, a researcher researching the income of the employees in a
company, and the relationship with their performance. A survey will be carried out to gather
1
enough data about the income of the employees, then their performance will be evaluated
and compared to their income.
b. Correlational design.
--The correlation design identifies the relationship between variables. Example: The
relationship between the amount of physical activity done and student academic
achievement.
c. Ex post facto design.
--is used to investigate a possible relationship between previous events and present
conditions. An example of this is "how does the parents' academic achievement affect the
children's obesity?".
d. Quasi-experimental design.
--Quasi-experimental research involves the manipulation of an independent variable without
the random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions. Among the
important types are nonequivalent groups designs, pretest-posttest, and interrupted
time-series designs.
e. Experimental design.
--this design provides a more conclusive result because it uses random assignment of
subjects and experimental manipulations. For example, a comparison of the effects of
various blended learning to the reading comprehension of Elem. pupils.

LESSON 2
What I Have Learned
Directions: Answer the following questions clearly but briefly.
A. How is quantitative research relevant to different discipline?
Quantitative research aims to be generalizable to large populations by using specific sampling
methods and large data sets. It can provide important descriptive statistics about a population or
location, allowing us to grasp key characteristics of the object(s) of study.
B. Explain briefly, the importance or contribution of quantitative research to each of the following
fields of study.
FIELD IMPORTANCE/CONTRIBUTION
Natural and Physical Science investigates the effectiveness of a product or
treatment to illnesses
Education contributing knowledge development, practical
improvement, and policy information.
Therefore, educators can use those research
findings to improve their competences and
teaching and learning process
Sports to explain the underlying mechanisms about
how athletes function. It gives coaches and
athletes a way to gain solid information and
apply it to sport performance. It helps coaches
form beliefs about how to develop programs
and coaching techniques.
Arts and Design measure the impact of the arts on student
learning by testing the claims of its advocates
through controlled, experimental methods,
qualitative research methods may be applied in
an effort to describe the impact of the arts in
education within the heuristic world of arts.
Agriculture and Fisheries The importance of quantitative research to
agriculture and fishery cannot be
overemphasized because it is useful in finding
disease patterns in crops, eliminating those
threats, and preventing them from occurring in
future.
Information Communication and Technology Written for communication students,
Quantitative Research in Communication
3
provides practical, user-friendly coverage of
how to use statistics, how to interpret SPSS
printouts, how to write results, and how to
assess whether the assumptions of various
procedures have been met.
Social Science It can provide important descriptive statistics
about a population or location, allowing us to
grasp key characteristics of the object(s) of
study.
Business and Accounting It uses mathematical analysis and data to shed
light on important statistics about your business
and market. This type of data, found via tactics
such as multiple-choice questionnaires, can
help you gauge interest in your company and
its offerings.
What I Can Do
Directions: Search online, from a book or publication one particular quantitative study for every
field below and indicate its contribution to the development of knowledge to that field.

LESSON 3
What I Have Learned
Directions: Explain briefly what is being asked for.
1. Compare and contrast qualitative variables and quantitative variables.
Quantitative Variables - Variables whose values result from counting or measuring something.
Qualitative Variables - Variables that are not measurement variables. Their values do not result
from measuring or counting.
2. Why are dependent and independent variables not applicable in a descriptive type of research?
Descriptive studies only describe the current state of a variable, so there are no presumed cause or
effects, therefore no independent and dependent variables.
3. How important is it for the researcher to identify the type of variables used in the study?
The importance of dependent and independent variables is that they guide the researchers to per sue
their studies with maximum curiosity. Dependent and independent variables are important because
they drive the research process.
4. How does confounding variable affect the validity of the study?
To ensure the internal validity of your research, you must account for confounding variables. ... For
instance, you may find a cause-and-effect relationship that does not actually exist, because the
effect you measure is caused by the confounding variable (and not by your independent variable).
5. When do we use discrete, continuous, nominal, ordinal
Nominal and Ordinal are part of Qualitative variable therefore, we use them in defining groups of
subject (Nominal) and ranking in a certain order (Ordinal). On the other hand, Discrete and
Continuous are part of Quantitative variable. We use them on counting whole number (Discrete)
and fractional (Non-whole numbers).
What I Can Do
Make a quick survey to your friends, family members and professors who have previously
conducted a quantitative research study. Evaluate the title of their papers and identify the
independent, dependent, and other variables.
