INTRODUCTION:
Quantitative research is more systematic and controlled than qualitative. However,
both research methods have a statement of the problem to investigate. At this point, it is
assumed that you are already done stating your research problem, the background of the study,
scope and delimitation, hypothesis, conceptual framework, and review of related literature and
studies.
Each type of research has a unique design to follow that will also lead the direction of
sampling procedure, data gathering, and data analysis. Each research type also aims to answer
specific research questions; how it will be answered is determined by its design.
Important considerations also are the variables of the study. The type of variables
provides paradigm (your conceptual framework), which helps the researcher decide on what will
be the design of the study.
Descriptive Research. When little is known about the research problem, then it is
appropriate to use descriptive research design. It is a design that is exploratory in nature. The
purpose of descriptive research is basically to answer questions such as who, what, where,
Correlational Research. The main goal of this design is to determine if variable increases
or decreases as another variable increases or decreases. This design seeks to establish an
association between variables. It does not seek cause and effect relationship like descriptive
research; it measures variables as it occurs. It has two major purposes: (a) to clarify the
relationship between variables and (b) predict the magnitude of the association. However, the
extent of the purpose of correlational research depends on the scope and delimitation of the
study.
Ex Post Facto. If the objective of the study is to measure a cause from a pre-existing
effect, then Ex Post Facto research design is more appropriate to use. In this design, the
researcher has no control over the variables in the research study. Thus, one cannot conclude
that the changes measured happen during the actual conduct of the study.
The last two types of quantitative research designs are identifiable for the existence of
treatment or intervention applied to the current research study. Intervention or treatment
pertains to controlling or manipulating the independent variable in an experiment. It is assumed
that the changes in dependent variables were caused by the independent variable.
2. Which of the research designs refers to a method in which groups with qualities that
already exist are compared on some dependent variable?
A. Descriptive Research C. Ex Post Facto Research
B. Correlational Research D. Experimental Research
3. What research design aims to determine a cause from already existing phenomenon?
A. Descriptive Research Design C. Quasi Experimental Research Design
B. Correlational Research Design D. Ex-Post Facto
Directions: Determine the quantitative research design appropriate for the sample research
titles. Make sure to explain your choice into two to three sentences.

INTRODUCTION:
Remember when you were taught how to write your scope and delimitation, you
stated the subjects, participants, or respondents of your study. You also described their
characteristics which qualify them to be the source of your research data.
The next question you have to answer is, how many of the subjects, participants, or
respondents should be selected as a source of data? This lesson will teach you how to describe
sampling procedures in quantitative research. Note that the sampling procedure should be
aligned to your chosen research design. Since you have already decided the research design of
your study, then you are ready for this lesson.
II. Population and Sample
The first step in determining the sample size is identifying the population of the topic of
interest. The population is the totality of all the objects, elements, persons, and characteristics
under consideration. It is understood that this population possesses common characteristics
about which the research aims to explore.
There are two types of population: target population and accessible population. The actual
population is the target population, for example, all Senior High School Students enrolled in
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in the Division of Cagayan de Oro
City. While the accessible population is the portion of the population in which the researcher has
reasonable access, for example all Senior High School enrolled, STEM strand at Marayon Science
High School – X.

Formulas. Formulas are also being established for the computation of an acceptable
sample size. The common formula is Slovin’s Formula.

Power Analysis. This approach is founded on the principle of power analysis. There are
two principles you need to consider if you are going to use this approach: these are statistical
power and effect size.
The number of members per subgroup is divided by the total accessible sample size. The
percentage result of members per subgroup will be multiplied from the computed total sample
size. After obtaining the sample size per strata, then simple random sampling will be done for the
selection of samples from each group.
