LESSON 1:
INTRODUCTION TO
QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
Quantitative Research
 process of collecting and analyzing numerical data.
 used to find patterns and averages, make predictions, test
casual relationships, and generalize results to wider
populations.
 the opposite of qualitative research, which involves collecting
and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g. text, video, or audio).
 widely used in the natural and social sciences: biology,
chemistry, psychology, economics, sociology, marketing, etc.
Quantitative research uses scientifically collected and statistically
analyzed data to investigate observable phenomena.

A phenomenon is any existing or observable fact or situation that


we want to unearth further or understand. It is scientific for the fact
that it uses a scientific method in designing and collecting numerical
data. Once data is collected, it will undergo statistical analysis like
Pearson’s r, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for analysis.
Since data is analyzed statistically, it is imperative that the data
obtained must be numerical and quantifiable, hence its name
quantitative research.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
1. Large Sample Size. To obtain more meaningful
statistical result, the data must come from a large sample
size. (http://www.raosoft.com/samplesize.html)

2. Objectivity. Data gathering and analysis of results are


done accurately, objectively, and are unaffected by the
researcher’s intuition and personal guesses.

3. Concise Visual Presentation. Data is numerical which


makes presentation through graphs, charts, and tables
possible and with better conveyance and interpretation.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research

4. Faster Data Analysis. The use of a statistical tools gives way for a
less time-consuming data analysis.

5. Generalized Data. Data taken from a sample can be applied to the


population if sampling is done accordingly, i.e., sufficient size and random
samples were taken.

6. Fast and Easy Data Collection. Depending on the type of data


needed, collection can be quick and easy. Quantitative research uses
standardized research instruments that allow the researcher to collect
data from a large sample size efficiently. For instance, a single survey
form can be administered simultaneously to collect various measurable
characteristics like age, gender, socio-economic status, etc.
Characteristics of Quantitative Research

8. Reliable Data. Data is taken and analyzed objectively from a


sample as a representative of the population, making it more
credible and reliable for policymaking and decision making.

9. High Replicability. The Quantitative method can be repeated to


verify findings enhancing its validity, free from false or immature
conclusions.
Strengths of Quantitative Research

1. Quantitative research can be replicated or repeated.


2. Findings are generalizable to the population.
3. Conclusive establishment of cause and effect.
4. Numerical and quantifiable data can be used to predict
outcomes.
5. Fast and easy data analysis using statistical software.
6. Fast and easy data gathering.
7. Very objective.
8. Validity and reliability can be established.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research

1. It lacks the necessary data to explore a problem or concept in depth.

2. It does not provide comprehensive explanation of human experiences.

3. Some information cannot be described by numerical data such as

feelings, and beliefs.

4. The research design is rigid and not very flexible.

5. The participants are limited to choose only from the given responses.

6. The respondents may tend to provide inaccurate responses.

7. A large sample size makes data collection more costly.


Kinds of Quantitative Research Design
1. Descriptive design is used to describe a particular phenomenon
by observing it as it occurs in nature. There is no experimental
manipulation, and the researcher does not start with a hypothesis. The
goal of descriptive research is only to describe the person or object of
the study.
Example: “the determination of the different kinds of physical
activities and how often high school students do it during the
quarantine period”

2. Correlational design identifies the relationship between variables.


Data is collected by observation since it does not consider the cause
and effect.
Example: “the relationship between the amount of physical activity
done and student academic achievement”
Kinds of Quantitative Research Design

3. Quasi-experimental design is used to establish the cause-and-


effect relationship of variables. Although it resembles the experimental
design, the quasi-experimental has lesser validity due to the absence of
random selection and assignment of subjects.
Example: “the effects of unemployment on attitude towards following
safety protocol in ECQ declared areas”

4. Experimental design like quasi- experimental is used to establish


the cause-and-effect relationship of two or more variables. This design
provides a more conclusive result because it uses random assignment
of subjects and experimental manipulations.
Example: “a comparison of the effects of various blended learning to
the reading comprehension of elementary pupils”
LESSON 2: ILLUSTRATES
THE IMPORTANCE OF
QUANTITAIVE RESEARCH
ACROSS FIELDS
Why do people conduct
Research?
1. Knowledge production.
2. To find solutions to a problem.
3. Human Convenience.
4. Research precedes progress.
5. Make the world better.
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. Most inventions and
innovations are products of quantitative studies
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.

Using quantitative design helps us determine and better


understand relationships between variables or phenomenon
crucial to reducing the range of uncertainty because the
mathematics (more of this in the last module) behind
quantitative studies helps us make close estimates of the
outcome (dependent variable) from a given condition/s
(independent variable).
