Involves the collection of data to either test a hypothesis or describe the variables mentioned in the study.

A

Descriptive research

14
Q

What are the three ways that can be employed in doing a descriptive type of research?

A
  1. Observational
  2. Case study
  3. Survey
15
Attempts to determine the level of relation between two or more quantifiable variable.
Correlational study
16
This tests theories about how and why some attributes, behaviors, or phenomena or related as they are, or how and why the observed differences between existing groups came to be.
Causal-comparative study
17
Measures the effect of the independent variables (cause) to the dependent variable (effect); however, the researchers can control the independent variable in the study.
Experimental research
18
Determines the cause and effects between two variables that cannot be subjected to experimental control.
Quasi-experimental design
