This document discusses quantitative research methods. It defines quantitative research as using scientifically collected and analyzed numerical data to study observable phenomena. The document then outlines the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative research, including that it is objective but lacks depth of human experiences. It also describes different types of quantitative research designs like descriptive, correlational, ex post facto, quasi-experimental, and experimental designs. The goal is to establish relationships between variables and determine causes and effects.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
What is a Quantitative Research?
Uses scientifically collected and analyzed data to investigate observable phenomena. It is a scientific fact that uses a scientific method in designing and collecting numerical data. ADVANTAGES Of QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH 1. Very Objective 2. Numerical and quantifiable data can be used to predict outcomes. 3. Findings are generalized to the population. 4. There is conclusive establishment of cause and effect. 5. Fast and easy data analysis using statistical software. 6. Fast and easy data gathering. 7. Quantitative research can be replicated or repeated. 8. Validity and reliability can be established. DISADVANTAGES of QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH 1. It lacks the necessary data to explore a problem or concept in depth. 2. It does not provide comprehensive explanation of human experiences. 3. Some information cannot be described by numerical data such as feelings and beliefs. 4. The research design is rigid and not flexible. 5. The participants are limited to choose only from the given responses. 6. The respondents may tend to provide inaccurate responses. 7. A large sample size makes data collection most costly. KINDS of QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH Descriptive Design It is used to describe a particular phenomenon by observing it as it occurs in nature. There is no experimental manipulation and the researcher does not start with a hypothesis. The goal of descriptive research is only to describe the person or object of the study. Examples: “the determination of the different kinds of physical activities and how often high school students do it during the quarantine period”. The Correlational Design Identifies the relationship between variables. Data is collected by observation since it does not consider the cause and effect, for example the relationship between the amount of physical activity done and student academic achievement. Ex post facto design Is used to investigate a possible relationship between previous events and present conditions. The term “Ex post facto” which means after the fact, looks at the possible cause of an already occurring phenomenon. Just like the first two, there is no experimental manipulation in this design. An example of this “How does the parent’s academic achievement affect the children obesity?” A quasi- experimental design Used to establish the cause-effect relationship of variables. A quasi- experimental design has independent variable is identified but not manipulated. The researcher does not modify pre-existing groups of subjects. The group exposed to treatment (experimental) is compared to the group unexposed to treatment (control): Example, the effects of unemployment on attitude towards following safety protocol in ECQ Experimental design Like a quasi-experimental is used to establish the cause-and-effect relationship of two or more variables. The design provides a more conclusive results because it uses random assignment of subjects and experimental manipulations. Example: A comparison of the effects of various blended learning to the reading comprehension of elementary pupils. ACTIVITY 2 Directions: Write your answer in a 1 whole sheet of paper.
