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.
