Definition
What is quantitative research?
“
Quantitative research
“employ strategies of
inquiry such as
experimental and
surveys, and collect data
on predetermined
”
instruments that yield
statistical data”
John W. Creswell
quantitative research
is useful especially
in obtaining
numerical
information such as
presidential polls or
surveys, statistics
“ Quantitative research is an
approach for testing
objective theories by
examining the relationship
”
among variables.
John W. Creswell
to explain the causes of
phenomena through
objective measurement and
numerical analysis
Research Goal and Purpose
problem data needed
What are the • lesson planning
instructional • teaching performance
competencies of • positive use of ICT in class
beginning teachers? • designing and using
assessment
to predict and establish
relationships, and generalize
findings
Research Goal and Purpose
problem to answer:
Do instructional • know and determine
competencies of the correlation existing
beginning teachers between and among
have a direct impact on
the variables involved
student achievement?

Variables
What are variables and how important are they in
quantitative research?
Variables
set of attributes or
characteristics we ascribe to the
individual, group, or phenomena
being studied
Variables
serve as the basis for collecting,
organizing, presenting,
analyzing, and interpreting data
in quantitative research
in choosing
variables
It must be based on
readings from related
literatures or studies,
and not just from
random options
Problem variables
What are the • educational attainment
instructional • seminars attended by
competencies of the teachers
beginning teachers? • gadgets available at
home for technological
skills
Problem variables
factors affecting the • parental involvement
academic performance • available gadgets at
of Senior High School home
students in online • academic motivation
learning

Descriptive Research
definition focus
investigating, useful in answering
measuring, describing research questions
aspects or dealing with
characteristics measurements
Quality of Teaching Performance of
Beginning Teachers
This research mainly aims to develop and evaluate a
Professional Learning and Development Program for
Probationary Teachers based on their quality of
teaching performance.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1.What is the quality of teaching performance of the
probationary teachers based from their faculty
performance rating in the past two years?

Correlational Research
definition focus
studies the useful in knowing
relationship between whether a variable has a
two or more positive relationship to
characteristics or the other
variables
An Analysis of the Relationship Between Teacher Variables and
Student Achievement Scores in
Hamblen County, Tennessee
The research problem for this study determined if a
relationship exists between teacher variables and the Tennessee
Comprehensive Assessment Program annual scores in reading
and mathematics for students in grades three through eight in
Hamblen County, Tennessee.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1. Is there a relationship between years of teaching experience
and 2006-2007 TCAP achievement test annual scores in
mathematics of students in grades three through eight?
Experimental Research
definition types
adheres strictly to the true experimental
procedures of the scientific (sample is randomized)
method and involves or quasi-experimental
manipulation of variables (sample is not
and employment of a randomized)
treatment or intervention
Experimental Research examples
1. determining whether a diet of blueberries has an
effect on aging through an experiment involving 19-
month old rats where the experimental group is fed
with blueberry diet while the control group is not
2. determining the effect of salt on plant growth
Causal-comparative
definition example
compares one or more knowing why students
measurable characteristics from two sections with
or variables of two or more the same teacher
groups to find the perform differently in
similarities and differences Algebra
between them
