Quarter 2, Lesson 2 - Practical Research 2

Quantitative research has been invaluable in solving problems throughout history. It has led to the development of vaccines that have eradicated diseases like polio. Scientists are currently using quantitative research to quickly develop a vaccine for COVID-19. The results of quantitative studies influence policies around public health and safety. For example, cities with high COVID-19 cases face stricter quarantine rules. Quantitative design helps determine relationships between variables that can reduce uncertainty and allow for estimates based on given conditions. Most modern technologies are products of extensive quantitative research.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2

Quarter 1
Importance of Quantitative Research
Across Fields
The value of quantitative research to man’s
quest to discover the unknown and
improve underlying conditions is
undeniable. Throughout history,
quantitative research has paved the way to
finding meaningful solutions to difficulties.
For instance, the development of
vaccines to strengthen our immunity
against viruses causing highly
communicable diseases like polio,
influenza, chickenpox, and measles to
name a few, underwent thorough
experimental trials.
Scientists and medical experts all over the
world today are working their best to fast
track the development, testing and release
of the vaccine for the Corona Virus Disease
of 2019 (Covid-19) as the pandemic has
critically affected the world economy,
education, as well as physical and
emotional well-being of people.
❑Importance of Quantitative Research Across
Fields
The findings of the quantitative study can
influence leaders’ and law-makers’ decisions
for crafting and implementing laws for the
safety and welfare of the more significant
majority.
For example, a community with high cases of
Covid-19 positive patients is mandated by law
to be under Enhanced Community Quarantine
where only the most essential businesses can
operate. On the other hand, cities with less or
zero case will be under General Community
Quarantine where some businesses, public and
private offices are already allowed to operate.
❑Importance of Quantitative Research Across
Fields
Using quantitative design helps us determine and
better understand relationships between variables
or phenomenon crucial to reducing the range of
uncertainty because the mathematics behind
quantitative studies helps us make close estimates
of the outcome (dependent variable) from a given
condition/s (independent variable).
Relationship between demand and supply, age
and health, discipline and academic
achievement, practice and winning at sports,
depression and suicidal rates, algae population
and Oxygen demand are just few examples of
real-life applications of correlation studies in
the past that we still apply today.
❑Importance of Quantitative Research Across Fields
Most inventions and innovations are products of quantitative
studies. Before you can enjoy the uses and features of a smart
phone, it took years of research to establish compliance to
standards for interoperability, to find the most cost-effective
raw materials, and to identify the sleekest and sturdiest design,
the fastest data saving and processing power, and most
marketable add-ons according to consumer needs. Indeed,
mankind will dwell in the darkness of ignorance if not for the
people who conducted their research before reading about it
from books or manuals.
