PRACRES Flashcards
serves as the structure of the study. It gives direction to the study and makes the research more systematic.
RESEARCH DESIGN
TWO TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN
EXPERIMENTAL AND NON EXPERIMENTAL
is a quantitative research design that bases its research method on scientific activity called experiment, in which test or examination of a thing under manipulated or controlled environment is sone to determine its validity or truthfulness.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN
is a quantitative research design that is capable of giving qualitative and quantitative data, but more on qualitative data. Hence, this is often used in the field or social sciences. WHAT KIND OF RESEARCH DESIGN
NON EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
TWO TYPES OF EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN
QT
TRUE EXPERIMENTAL
QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL
Prone to bias caused by your purposive rather than random selection of participants. This is used to investigate causal relationships when the researcher cannot (or doesn’t want to) randomly assign participants.
WHAT TYPE OFEXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN?
QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL
Random selection of participants. It’s a bias free selection that ensures objectivity of results. WHAT TYPE OF EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN?
TRUE EXPERIMENTAL
4 TYPES OF NON-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

WHAT KIND OF NON EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN?
SURVEY
Shows extent and direction of variable relationships, that is whether a negative or positive relationship exists between or among them. WHAT KIND OF NO EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN?

Survey
Experiment
You search through several oral or written forms of communication to find answers to your research questions. You not only examines printed materials but you also analyze information.
What type of data collection technique?
Content analysis
You want to discover the reason behind the effects on the subjects. It’s a method of collecting data where you give the subject a sort of condition or treatment.
What type of data collection technique?
Experiment
You obtain facts or information about the subject or object of your research through the data gathering instruments of interview and questionnaires.
What type of data collection technique?
Survey
You gather facts or information about people, things, place, events, and so on by watching and listening to them. Simply doing observations using your different senses.

Observation
Types of observation
CNP
Controlled observation
Naturalistic Observation
Participant Observation
- (usually a structured observation) are likely to be carried out in a physical laboratory. The researcher decides where the observation will take place, at what time, with which participants, in what circumstances and uses a standardized procedure. Participants are randomly allocated to each independent variable group.
What type of observation?
Controlled observation
- a research method commonly used by psychologists and other social scientists. This technique involves observing involves studying the spontaneous behavior of participants in natural surroundings. The researcher simply records what they see in whatever way they can.
Wht type of observation?
Naturalistic observation?
- is a variant of the above (natural observations) but here the researcher joins in and becomes part of the group they are studying to get a deeper insight into their lives.

Data
TYPES OF EXPERIMENT IN DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT
- Laboratory experiments can be standard testing methods, independently developed procedures or laboratory scale model investigations.
- Experiments carried out in the field require careful planning and coordination. Higher contingencies in terms of budget and time must be considered. Controlling and monitoring the changing parameters on site could also involve other parties and the law.
- Computer numerical model is another method to carry out experiments. There are various computer codes that can be utilized to construct a model.

What kind of statistical method?
Descriptive statistics
This statistical method does not focus itself only on the features of the category of set, but on the characteristics of the sample that are true for the population from where you have drawn your sample. Your analysis begins with sample, and then, based on your findings about the sample, you make inferences or assumptions about the population. What kind of statistical methodology?

Cross tabulation
describes the relationship between two variables and also tests the strength or significance of their liner relation.
What type of STATISTICAL METHODS OF BIVARIATE ANALYSIS?
Correlation or Covariation (correlated variation)
it follows the format of matrix that is made up of lines of numbers, symbols, and other expressions. By displaying the frequency and percentage, it explains the reason behind the relationship of two variables and the effect of one variable on the other variable.
What type of STATISTICAL METHODS OF BIVARIATE ANALYSIS?
Cross tabulation
this is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between variables and likewise gives the extent of dependence between two variables – meaning the effect of one variable on the other variable.
Correlation Coefficient
Measures of correlation coefficient
SPCTA
Spearman’s rho
Pearson product-moment correlation
Chi-square
T-test
Anova
the test to measure the dependence of the dependent
variable on the independent variable.
What type of measure of correlation?
Spearman’s rho
measures the strength and direction
of the linear relationship of two variables and of the association between interval and
ordinal variables.
What type of measure correlation?
Pearson product-moment correlation
bivariate analysis for nominal variables, to test the null hypothesis. It tests whether or not a relationship exists between or among variables, and tells the
probability that the relationship is caused by chance.
What kind of messure of correlation?
Chi square
evaluates the probability that the mean of the samples reflects the mean of the
population from where the sample was drawn. It also tests the difference of two means, the sample and population mean. ANOVA also uses t-test to determine the variance or the difference between the predicted number of samples and the actual measurement.
What kind of measure of correlation?
T-test

RESEARCH WRITING vs. REPORT WRITING
How would you compare and contrast research writing and report writing? Both depend on various sources of data or information. But they differ form each other as to what kind of data they present.
Research writing presents facts and opinions of other people about a particular subject matter. It also includes your interpretations as a researcher of these know facts.
Report Writing also presents facts and opinions of others; however, it does not claim that these opinions originally come from the writer for the reason that some reading materials includes books, journals, magazines, among others have already published these facts and opinions.
selection of respondent is solely on pure chance
