- used to establish facts
Research
- generalize results from a sample to the population
- large number of cases
- based on precise measurements
- statistical relationships
Quantitative
Characteristics of Quantitative

Kinds of Quantitative Research
- Descriptive
- Correlational
- Quasi Experimental
- Experimental
seeks to describe the current status of an identified variable
Descriptive research
determine the extent of the relationship of 2 or more variables using stratified data
- NO INTERVENTION
Correlational Research
attempts to establish cause effect relationships among the variable
Quasi Experimental
__________ is identified but not manipulated by the experimenter
Independent Variable
uses the scientific method to establish cause-effect relationship
Experimental Research
experimental research are _______ assigned
Randomly Assigned
- are measurable characteristics
- can manipulate/control
Variables
Types of Variables
- Categorical
- Quantitative
any variable that is a category or type
Categorical
Types of Categorical
Nominal
Ordinal
Represents categories that cannot be ordered in any way
- eye color, barangay, religion
Nominal
categories that can be ranked or ordered
- income bracket, student classification
Ordinal
variables where the measure has a numerical meaning
- height weight number of students
Quantitative
Types of numerical
Interval
Ratio
No true zero, only uses addition subtraction
Interval
have true zero,
Ratio
Is a compilation, classification and evaluation of what other researchers have written on a particular topic
Literature Review
True or False
You cannot Cram the RRL
True
Is an organized way of acknowledging literature sources used in specific parts of the rs paper
Citation
Importance of Citations
- Giving credits to other researchers
- Supporting arguments
- Organizing Literature Sources
Types of In-Text Citation
Parenthetical
Narrative
APA
Are placed at the end of the sentence
Parenthetical Citations
is another way of inserting citations in the body of text of your paper
Narrative
APA stands for
American Psychological Association
one of the most commonly used citation formats in academic writing
APA
presents information from different parts of the individual source
Summary

Types of Plagiarism
Direct Plagiarism
Self Plagiarism
Accidental Plagiarism
Mosaic Plagiarism
is the word for word transcription of a section of someone else’s work
Direct Plagiarism
occurs when a student submits his or her own previous work
Self Plagiarism
occurs when a person neglects to cite their sources or misquotes their sources
Accidental Plagiarism
occurs when a student borrows from a source without using quotation marks
- Patch writing
Mosaic Plagiarism
is crucial in the field of research. Committing plagiarism can severely damage the academic credibility of the author
Academic Credibility
refers to the section of research paper that shows a list of all sources used in the research paper
