Learning Target:
• Chooses appropriate
quantitative research
design (CS_RS12 II a-c-1)
Research Design
is the “blue print” of the study.
It guides the collections, measurement
and analysis of data.
It is a plan or course of action which
the research follows in order to
answer the research question/s or
solve the research problem.
The design becomes the basis for determining what
data will be collected, and how they will be analyzed
and interpreted (David, 2002).
Kinds of research design
Descriptive
correlational
Causal - comparative
experimental
Descriptive Research Design
• It aims to observe and report on a certain
phenomenon, type of behavior or portrait as it takes
place or manifests itself.
•The researcher achieves this objective by using rating
scales and other means to measure the variables as
they occur.
•Inability to establish causal relationship, that is, one
variable cannot be claimed as the cause of another
variable.
Descriptive Research Design
Example:
Use of Computer Games in Improving
Mathematics Achievement
Correlational Research Design
• It aims to determine whether an increase or decrease
in one variable corresponds to the increase or decrease
in another.
•It does not seek to establish a cause-effect relationship
but mere association among variables.
•Experimental manipulation is not used in the
correlational research design. Variables are still
measured as they occur (Barrot, 2017).
Correlational Research Design
Example:
Interest in Gadgets as Related to
Academic Performance
Causal Comparative Research Design
It aims to infer a cause from the already existing
effects.
Although this research design attempts to establish a
causal relationship between variables, the causal
comparative research design does not use experimental
manipulation. Thus, it cannot be said that a change in
the variables takes place in actual study(Barrot, 2017).
Causal Comparative Research Design
Example:
Effect of Smoking Mothers to the
General Health of the Newly Born
Babies
EXPERIMENTAL
PRE-EXPERIMENTAL QUASI- EXPERIMENTAL
TRUE EXPERIMENTAL
This design is used to determine the effects of
an intervention or treatment introduced to a group of
subjects. As in the pretest-posttest control group
design, at least two groups or areas with virtually
same characteristics are chosen and randomly
assigned (RA) to the control and experimental group.
EXPERIMENTAL
Video lessons and Students’ Academic

Research Design and Methodology
This chapter is consist of the research design and
research methodology which includes research design, sample
and sampling procedure, research instrument, data collection
procedure and statistical tools used.
Research Design
The research design utilized in this study was
descriptive research design. According to Calderon (2012),
descriptive research involves the description, recording, analysis
and interpretation of the present nature, composition or
processes of phenomena which focuses on prevailing conditions,
or how a person, group or thing behaves or functions in the
present.

Research Design and Methodology
This chapter is consists of the research design and research
methodology which includes respondents, instruments, intervention,
data collection procedure and data analysis procedure.
Research Design
The correlational research design was employed in this study.
According to Waters (2017), correlational study has two or more
variables from the same group of participants, and you are trying to
determine if there is a relationship (or covariation) between the 2
variables (that is, a similarity in pattern of scores between the two
variables, not a difference between their means). This helped in
determining the relationship of daily allowance of Grade 12 students to
their academic performance.
