CHALLENGE. Answer the following questions, follow directions

given.

I. NON-STOP WRITING. Write your concise learning about the following. Use your own
understanding based on what you have already read from the context.

1. What is quantitative research?

A structured way of analyzing data collected using multiple sources. it mainly use statistical and
mathematical tools along with computational theory to achieve results.

2. What are the characteristics of quantitative research?

objective, clearly, defined, research, questions, structured, research, instruments, numerical data, large
sample size, replication, future outcomes

3. Discuss the strengths of quantitative research.

objectivity, real and unbiased, facilities, sophisticated analysis, analyzed in quick and easy way,
replicable, useful in testing, qualitative research.

4. Discuss the weaknesses of quantitative research.

requires large number of respondent, costly, contextual, factors are ignored

5. Describe two (2) types of quantitative research design. Give example of each.
Example: Survey - used to gather information from groups of people by selecting and studying samples
chosen from a population.Example: Preference T.V network of viewers in Binalbagan Catholic
College.

POST_TEST. This serves as your summative test. Answer the questions below following the instruction
given in each test.
I. Identification. Identify what is being asked in each number. Write your answer after the statement.

1. It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased results that can be
generalized to some larger population and explain a particular observation.
_________________
2. It suggests that the data concerned can be analyzed in terms of numbers. ________
3. This kind of research derives conclusion from observations and manifestations that already occurred in
the past and now compared to some dependent variables.
________________
4. It describes the norm level of characteristics for a given behavior.
5. In this design, the researcher can collect more data, either by scheduling more observations or finding
more existing measures.
6. It is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction, associations and/or
relationship between different variables or groups of respondents
under study. ___________
7. It refers to the overall strategy that you choose in order to integrate the different components of the study
in a coherent and logical way, thereby ensuring you will effectively address the research problem.
________________
8. It controls for both time-related and group-related threats. Two features mark true experiments: two
or more differently treated groups; and random assignment to these groups. _____________
9. All variables in the study can contribute to the over-all prediction in an equation that adds together the
predictive power of each identified variable. ___________________________
10.Its main purpose is to observe, describe and document aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and
sometimes to serve as a starting point for hypothesis generation or theory development. _____________

II. Multiple Choice. Choose the correct letter that best describe the question or complete the statement.
Write your answer before the number.

1. Which of the following BEST defines quantitative research?

A. It is an exploration associated with libraries, books and journals.
B. It is an activity concerned with finding new truth in education.
C. It is a systematic process obtaining numerical information about the world.
D. It is an activity of producing or proving a theorem.
2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quantitative research?
A. Data are gathered before proposing a conclusion or solution to a problem.
B. Quantitative methods can be repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus
strengthen and reinforcing validity of findings eliminating the possibility of spurious
conclusions.
C. Figures, tables or graphs showcase summarized data collection in order to show trends,
relationships or differences among variables. In sum, the charts and tables allow you to
see the evidence collected.
D. It seeks to gather a more comprehensive understanding of activities related to human
behavior and the attributes that rule such behavior.
3. Which of the following describes the characteristics of research where data are in form of
statistics?
2
 A. Objective B. Numerical Data C. Replication D. Large Sample Size
4. This characteristic of quantitative research which refers to its necessity to arrive at a more
reliable data analysis.
A. Large Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data
B. Replication D. Objective
5. It is done to check the correctness and verify the findings of the study.
A. Large Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data
B. Replication D. Objective
6. The researchers know in advance what they are looking for. The research questions are well-
defined for which objective answers are sought. All aspects of the study are carefully designed
before data are gathered.
A. Future Outcomes C. Clearly defined Research Questions
B. Structured Research Instruments D. Numerical Data
7. Which research design seeks to describe “what is”?
A. Correlational C. Experimental
B. Descriptive D. Evaluation
8. In this type of research, the investigator tries to probe the significance of relationship between
two or more factors or characteristics
A. Correlational C. Ex-post facto
B. Experimental D. Survey
9. Which of the item below does NOT hold true for descriptive research?
A. describes the nature of a situation or an event
B. presents the profile of persons, events, and things
C. describes past situations
D. there is no manipulation of variables or search for cause and effect related to the
performance
10. Which of the following illustrates a quantitative study?
A. attributes to malnutrition in children
B. public opinion to the sex scandal of the Pres. in our country
C. academic performance of high school students
D. all of the above choices

III. DETERMINATION. Determine if the description given below is a strength or weakness of a

quantitative research. Write your answer on the blank provided for.
1. The most reliable and valid way of concluding results, giving way to a new hypothesis or to
disproving it. _____________________
2. Since, there are more respondents compared to qualitative research, the expenses will be greater in
reaching out to these people and in reproducing questionnaires.
3. If not done seriously and correctly, data from questionnaires may be incomplete and inaccurate.
___________________________________________
4. Standardized approaches allow the study to be replicated in different areas or over time with
formulation of comparable findings.
5. Quantitative experiments are useful for testing the results gained by a series of qualitative
experiments, leading to a final answer, and narrowing down of possible directions to follow.
_______________________
6. It is assumed that the larger the sample is, the more statistically accurate the findings are.
____________________
7. Researchers must be on the look-out on respondents who are just guessing in answering the
instrument. _____________________
8. It does not consider the distinct capacity of the respondents to share and elaborate further
information unlike the qualitative research. _____________________________
9. It is real and unbiased. _________________________________
10. It is costly. _________________________________________

(the criterion variable) J. Prediction
8. employs both treated and control groups
to deal with time-related rival explanations K. Multiple Regression
9. it obtains score from two variables for
each subject, and then uses them to calculate a L. Pre-Experimental
