Categories of Quantitative
Research Design
Experimental Non-Experimental
There are 4 major categories of Quantitative Research Designs mentioned in major sources in books and
the web. The contrasts between the four types essentially relates to the degree the researcher plans for control of
the factors within the experiment. Descriptive Research Design, a non-experimental Design, seeks to depict the
current status of an identified variable. The researcher does not start with a hypothesis, but ordinarily creates one
after the data is collected. Correlational Research Design attempts to decide the extent of a relationship between
two or more variables utilizing statistical data. Quasi-experimental Research, which is an experimental design,
endeavors to set up cause-effect relationships among the variables. And lastly, Experimental Research Design often
called true experimentation, uses the scientific strategy to establish the cause-effect relationship among a bunch of
variables that make up a study. Other types of Quantitative researches are the Survey Design, Comparative and Ex
Post Facto.

CHALLENGE
DO YOU AGREE THAT THE BEST RESEARCH RESULT COME FROM EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS?
YES. CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGNS TENDS TO BE BIAS-FREE AND
THEORETICAL. EXPERIMENTS DETACHED BY A THEORETICAL SETUP ARE CONTINUOUSLY FLAWED.

THINK
Central to QUALITATIVE RESEARCH are words; to quantitative research are NUMBERS. In this second type of
research, you can use the data gathering technique called SURVEY that uses QUESTIONNAIRE and INTERVIEW two
data-gathering instruments that are made up of QUESTIONS. Questions on things resulting from your experience
are called OPEN ENDED questions; those on your interpretative or critical thinking are called CLOSED-ENDED
questions. Survey is a data gathering TECHNIQUE while interview and questionnaire are data gathering Instruments.
Another quantitative gathering technique is the OBSERVATION that uses your SENSORY organs, specifically, your
EYES and EARS in collecting data. Watching and listening to people and things with your own eyes and ears is a
DIRECT kind of observation; with audio tape or video tape, is INDIRECT type of observation. EXPERIMENT is one
quantitative data collection technique that aims at controlling variables to discover CAUSE-EFFECT relationships.
This method involves independent VARIABLES and dependent variables. The VARIABLES receive treatment or
condition and, if it is given the performance rating of 95%, it will appear on a scale of measurement called NOMINAL
scale.
EXPERIENCE
USING THE TABLE BELOW, COMPARE AND CONTRAST EACH PAIR OF EXPRESSIONS.
3. We have agreed to
have this session in
30 minutes. Is this
okay with you?
GIVE THE IDEAS SIGNALED BY THE HEADINGS OF THE TABLE ABOUT EACH GIVEN RESEARCH QUESTION.
1. WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME ALL THE EVENTS AGAIN, THEN GIVE ME WHAT TOOK PLACE
RIGHT AFTER THE LAST EVENT.
Effective.
2. TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE UCLA'S SPSS AND STATA STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES.
The Question is Effective.
3. WHY DON'T YOU PREOCCUPY YOURSELF MULLING OVER THE EXPEDIENCY OF HAVING A
MERRYMAKING DAY WITH THOSE WAIFS LIVING WITH THE HIGH -STRUNG, SUPERCILIOUS,
CANTANKEROUS WOMAN?
The Question uses words that can be hardly understood by everyone and are too literary. It must be: WHY
DON'T YOU PREOCCUPY YOURSELF CONSIDERING OVER THE EXPEDIENCY OF HAVING A CELEBRATION WITH THOSE
ORPHANS LIVING WITH THE ANXIOUS, ARROGANT, IRRITABLE WOMAN?
4. MY FIRST QUESTION IS, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE EXTENT OF CORRUPTION THAT HAS BEEN
GOING ON IN SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICES?
Effective.
5. LET ME END THIS SESSION BY ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION, HOW DID YOU REACH THIS PLACE?
Effective
