    INTRODU C T IO N T O

    QUA NT IT A T I V E RE S E A R C H
    WHAT IS QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH?

    •IT COLLECTS AND USES NUMERICAL DATA TO DESCRIBE,


    EXPLAIN, OR PREDICT TRENDS OR PHENOMENA.
    •IT EMPHASIZES OBJECTIVITY AND THE CONTROL OF
    CONTEXTUAL FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT THE RESULT.
    •IT STATES HYPOTHESES AND RELIES ON STATISTICAL
    ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT CONCLUSIONS MADE REGARDING
    THE HYPOTHESES.
    REASONS FOR QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

    •EXPLORATORY- INVESTIGATES ISSUES WITH THE GOAL OF


    PROVIDING INSIGHT AND INFORMATION TO THE RESEARCHER.
    -USE PILOT STUDIES TO TEST FEASIBILITY OR VALUE OF WORKING
    IN AN AREA.
    •DESCRIPTION- DESCRIBE THE CURRENT SITUATION OR CLASSIFY
    SITUATIONS, EVENTS OR GROUPS.
    -OFTEN USE LARGE SCALE DATA SETS
    -SURVEYS; CORRELATIONAL STUDIES
    •EXPLANATION- BUILD, ENRICH AND EXPLAIN
    THEORIES
    -TEST THEORIES USING QUANTITATIVE METHODS
    •EVALUATION- EVALUATES PROGRAMS FOR THEIR
    EFFICACY
    - COME IN DIFFERENT FORMS AND SERVE DIFFERENT
    FUNCTIONS
    QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH PROCESS

    •THE RESEARCH PROCESS CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF STEPS OR


    STAGES THAT THE RESEARCHER SHOULD PROGRESS THROUGH
    WHEN PLANNING AND CONDUCTING RESEARCH.
    RESEARCH QUESTION AND RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS

    •A RESEARCH QUESTION IS THE QUESTION THAT THE RESEARCH


    PROJECT SETS OUT TO ANSWER.
    •A HYPOTHESIS IS NOT A QUESTION, BUT RATHER A STATEMENT
    ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO OR MORE VARIABLES.
    • TO COMPLETE A HYPOTHESIS, IT MUST INCLUDE THREE COMPONENTS:
    - THE VARIABLES
    - THE POPULATION
    - THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIABLES
    STEPS
    1. DEFINING THE PROBLEM AND ESTABLISHING RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
    2.EXPLORING THEORY
    3.SAMPLE DESIGN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION (E.G
    AGE, THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN, EDUCATIONAL STATUS AND
    ECONOMIC STATUS)
    4. DESIGNING DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS

    5. COLLECTING DATA AND PREPARING IT FOR ANALYSIS


    6. DATA ANALYSIS
    7. INTERPRETING THE RESULTS AND WRITING THE FINAL RESEARCH
    REPORT
    ADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

    •IT ALLOWS THE RESEARCHER TO MEASURE AND ANALYZE


    DATA, AND THAT IS WHY IT USED TO TEST HYPOTHESES
    AND EXPERIMENTS.
    •OBJECTIVITY IS ATTAINED.
    •THE CONTEXT OF THE STUDY OR EXPERIMENT IS
    IGNORED.
    DISADVANTAGES
    •IT DOES NOT STUDY THINGS IN A NATURAL SETTING OR
    DISCUSS THE MEANING OF THINGS FOR DIFFERENT
    PEOPLE.
    •IT IS EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING BECAUSE OF
    LARGE DATA SETS.
    SAMPLE QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QUESTIONS

    •HOW OFTEN DO YOU BUY MOBILE APPS FOR PLAYING PURPOSES?


    •WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE DAILY CALORIE INTAKE
    BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN IN THE PHILIPPINES?
    •WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB SATISFACTION AND
    SALARY AMONG THE RESIDENTS IN MANILA?
    OTHER SAMPLES

    •THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRESS AND DEPRESSION


    •THE IMPACT OF DRUGS ON A TEENAGER
    •THE RELATION BETWEEN ACTIVITIES IN A THIRD-GRADE
    CLASS AND ITS STUDENTS
