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
CCDS
COMPARATIVE, CORRELATIONAL, DESCRIPTIVE AND SURVEY
Describes the attitudes, preferences, views, feelings, opinions, and other behavioral patterns of a big number of people for arriving at a certain conclusion about societal concerns and issues.
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?
CORRELATIONAL
Depicts an image or a picture of an individual or a group. This type of research uses interviews, questionnaires, polls, and other similar instrument in order to gather data.
What kind of non experimental research design?
Descriptive
States the difference or similarities between or among people, things, objects, etc. It compares the variables but it does not focus on the relationship.
What kind of non experimental research design?
Comparative

Collecting data is one major component of any type of research. In collecting quantitative data, stress is given to the accuracy or appropriateness o your data gathering technique as well as the right instrument to collect the data (Matthews & Ross, 2010; Badke, 2012; Thomas, 2013; Woodwell, 2014).
Types of data collecting techniques
COSE
Content Analysis
Observation
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.
What type of data collection teechnique?
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.
What type of observation?
Participant observation
TYPES OF SURVEY IN DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT
Q I
Questionnaire and Interview
- is a paper containing series of questions formulated for an individual and independent answering by several respondents to obtain statistical information. Wht type of survey?
Questionnaire
– makes you ask a set of questions. Only that, this time, you do it orally. What type of survey
Interview
– makes you ask a set of questions. Only that, this time, you do it orally. What type of survey
Interview
Opening questions to establish friendly relationships like questions about the place, the time, the physical appearance of the participant or other nonverbal things that are not for audio recording. What order of interview questions?
First set of questions
Generative questions to encourage open-ended questions like those that ask about the respondent’s inferences, views or opinions about the interview topic.
What order of interview questions?
Second set of questions
Directive questions or close ended questions to elicit specific answers like those that are answerable with yes or no what order of interview questions?
Third set of questions
Ending questions thta give the respondents the chance to air their satistfaction, wants, likes and dislikes, reactions, comments about the interview. Included here are the closing statements to give the respondence some ideas or clues on your next move or actvity.
What order of interview questions?
Fourth set of questions
pieces of information or facts known by people in this world.
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.
