Lesson 1 Flashcards
What are the Characteristics of Quantitative Research ?
- Objective
- Clearly Defined Questions
- Structured Research Instrument
- Numerical Data
- Large Sample Sizes
- Replication
- Future Outcomes
It establishes causality and often used when an “Intervention” is being studied
Experimental Research
IT ESTABLISHES THE ASSOCIATION OR CONNECTION BETWEEN
VARIABLES.
Non-Experimental Research
It can Manipulate Variables
Experimental Research
Without Manipulation of Variables
Non-Experimental Research
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.
Descriptive Research Design ( Non-Experimental Design)
What are the types if Descriptive Research Design?
Survey & Correlational
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.
Correlational
It is used to gather information from
groups of people by selecting and
studying samples chosen from a
population.
Survey
Specific point of time ; different participants
Cross -sectional ( Type of Survey)
Long period of time ; same participants
Longitudinal ( Type of Survey)
What are the three types if Correlational Research Design?
- Bivariate Correlational Studies
- Prediction Studies
- Multiple Regression Prediction Studies
It derives conclusion from observations and manifestations that already occurred in the past and now compared to some dependent variables. It also discusses why and how phenomenon occurs
EX-POST FACTO or CAUSAL COMPARATIVE (Non-Experimental Design)
It involves comparing and contrasting two or more samples of study subjects on one or more variables, often at a single point in time
COMPARATIVE (Non- Experimental Design)
It is a process used to determine what has happened during a given activity or in an institution
