PROCEDURE TEACHER’S TIP

INTRODUCTION (5 minutes) Teacher’s tip:
1. The students will be asked the question “What is your idea/perception about the Solicit their answers by asking
development of technology?” them to either raise their hand or
2. After the students have shared their thoughts, they will be introduced to the concept of stand up.
research. Vast understanding and analyzing of the development will allow them to justify real-
life situations and make sound and reasonable decisions.
MOTIVATION (5 minutes)
The students will criticize a visual prompt “Evolution of Telephone”. They will be asked to
give their perception and conclude on the given scenario. They will then be asked to share
their ideas in a class-wide discussion.
INSTRUCTION/DELIVERY(110 minutes)
Interactive Discussion
1. Based on the picture shown to the students, the class will state their idea. Some of the
possible responses are as follows:
A. The different brands of telephone.
Page 2 of 6
B. The changing styles of telephones.

C. The different features and specifications.
2. From the generated responses, the students will give their common observations on
those statements to generate the definition of a research.
3. The class will then start the discussion with the purpose of research.
B. LECTURE PROPER
a. PURPOSE OF RESEARCH – is to add to a body of knowledge that helps explain,
predict or control events of interest in the domain.
b. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH – Quantitative designs approach examines social

phenomena through quantifiable evidence, and often rely on statistical analysis of many
cases to create valid and reliable general claims.
Strengths Teacher’s tip:

1. Relatively easy to analyse because it provides numerical data that can be generalized to the
population about which information is required. Provide hand out with minimal
2. The findings of the study can be generalize to the population about which information is information and let the students jot
required. down notes.
3. The data gathered can be very consistent, precise and reliable.
4. Clear documentation can be provided regarding the content and application of the survey
instruments so that other researchers can assess the validity of the findings.
6. The effects of extraneous variables can be controlled.
Weaknesses
1. Improper representation of the target population might hinder the research for achieving its
desired purpose and objectives.
2. Related secondary data are sometimes not available or accessing available data is difficult to
obtain through structured data collection instruments.
3. Lack of resources for data collection. Self-reported information obtained from questionnaires
may be inaccurate or incomplete.
4. Difficult to understand the context of a phenomenon. Some researchers find difficulty in the
data analysis.
5. Inability to control the environment.
6. Studies are expensive and time-consuming, and even the preliminary results are usually not
available for a long period of time,
7. Errors in hypotheses tested may yield misimpressions of program quality or influential

factors.
ACTIVITY #1 THINK, PAIR, SHARE

1. Let the students choose their partner after answering the question: Teacher’s tip:
“What are the strengths and weaknesses of quantitative research?”
Tell them to use a Venn Diagram
and to write it on a piece of paper.
2. Give them time to pair and share their thought with each other. Allow them to use as many
strengths and weaknesses they
can.
You may ask follow-up questions

after the activity.
THE IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ACROSS FIELDS
1. Discuss importance of quantitative research on different fields and provide examples.

2. Possible topics appropriate for quantitative research (but not limited to the following):
- Discuss the table present on their hand-out
ACTIVITY #2 WORKSHEET 1
1. Accomplish worksheet 1
2. After accomplishing worksheet1, the class will be grouped according to the field or discipline
of interest answered in worksheet 1. Choose a leader who will facilitate the task for this group
activity.
3. Task: Examine the topics/issues identified and the explanations as to why these topics or
issues are worthy of using quantitative research.
4. The groups will be given 10 minutes to prepare their cartolina for the group presentation.
5. Each group will be given 3 minutes to present.
VARIABLES: NATURE/TYPES AND USES

Variables refer to factors or conditions that can change during the course of an experiment.
A quantitative variable can be either discrete or continuous.
1. Discrete variables are quantitative variables whose observations can assume only a
countable number of values.
Page 4 of 6
Examples: number of children in a family; number of absences in the workplace; number

of tardiness in the class.
2. Continuous variables are quantitative variables whose observation can assume any one
of the countless number of values in a line interval.
Examples: height (5 feet, 4inches; 6 feet; etc.); weight (115lbs; 68 kgs; etc); and time
(hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, nanoseconds
Another way of classifying variables is based on their level of measurement. Variables are
either discrete if categorically scaled (nominal or ordinal) or continuous if continually Teacher’s Tip:
scaled (interval or ratio).
 Discuss thoroughly the

variables.  Provide examples of

independent variables.
PRACTICE (35 minutes)

Teacher’s Tip:
ACTIVITY #3 QUIZ BEE  You may ask them to bring
cardboard and chalk a day
 Do exercise 4 from the book Quantitative Research: A Practical Approach by Amorado, before the activity.
Boholano, and Talili. Page 19-20
 Group the class into 8 groups and provide a piece of paper and a marker.
 Give them the researches on the book and allow them to identify the dependent and
independent variable by writing it on the paper.
 Give them 2 minutes for answering, then tell them to raise their pen and papers when
you told them so.
ACTIVITY #5 Q&A
Teacher’s tip:
Page 5 of 6
1. Why is quantitative research important in daily life? Do this orally as their recitation.
2. What are the characteristics of a quantitative research? You may give follow-up questions.
3. When should we use quantitative research?
4. How important is quantitative research across fields?
ENRICHMENT (25 minutes)
ACTIVITY #5 DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION
Divide the class into six (6) groups. each group will perform the given task below:
Group 1- Define quantitative research through a song
Group 2- Give 2 characteristics of quantitative research through a poem.
Group 3- Give 2 advantages of quantitative research through a news report
Group 4- Give 2 disadvantages of quantitative research through a pageant
Group 5- Give 2 importance of Quantitative research in Medical and Health, and Business
through a role play
Group 6- Give 2 importance of Quantitative research in Education and Science
Note: 1-2 minutes presentation.
