Nature of Inquiry and Research
Characteristics of Quantitative
Research
• Methods or procedures of data gathering
include items like age, gender, educational
status, among others, that call for
measurable characteristics of the population
9. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Characteristics of Quantitative
Research
• Standardized instruments guide data
collection, thus ensuring the accuracy,
reliability and validity of data
10. Characteristics of Quantitative
Research
Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
• Figures, tables or
graphs showcase
summarize data
collected in order to
show trends,
relationships or
differences among
variables.
11. Characteristics of Quantitative
Research
Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
• A large population
yields more reliable
data, but principles
of random sampling
must be strictly
followed to prevent
researcher’s bias
12. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Characteristics of Quantitative
Research
• Quantitative methods can be repeated to
verify findings in another setting, thus
reinforcing validity of the findings
13. Lesson 1:

Sampling Technique More inclined to
purposive sampling or
use of chosen samples

Random sampling as
the most preferred
18. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Strengths of Quantitative Research
• Quantitative research design is the most
reliable and valid way of conluding results,
giving way to a new hypothesis or to
disproving it.
• Because of a bigger number of the sample of
population, the results or generalizations are
more reliable and valid.
19. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Strengths of Quantitative Research
• Quantitative experiments filter out external
factors, if properly designed and so the
results gained can be as real and unbiased.
• Quantitative experiments are useful for
testing the results gained by a series of
qualitative experiments, leading to a final
answer and a narrowing down of possible
directions to follow.
20. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Weaknesses of Quantitative
Research
• Quantitative research can be costly, difficult
and time-consuming because most
researchers are non-mathematicians
• Quantitative methods also tend to turn out
only proved or unproven results leaving little
room for uncertainty or grey areas
21. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Weaknesses of Quantitative
Research
• Quantitative studies require extensive
statistical treatment, requiring stringent
standards, more so with confirmation of
results. When ambiguities in some findings
surface, retesting and refinement of the
designs call for another investment in time
and resources to polish the results.

23. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Experimental Research
• Allows the researchers to control the situation
• Identify the cause and effect relationship between
variables and to distinguish placebo effects from
treatment effects
• Supports the ability to limit alternative explanations
and to infer direct causal relationships in the study
24. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Experimental Research
• True Experimental: controls for both time-related
and gorup-related threats
• Quasi Experimental: The researcher can collect
more data, either by schedulling more observations
or finding more existing measures
• Pre-experimental: apply to experimental designs
with the least internal validity
25. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Experimental Research
• True Experimental: controls for both time-related
and gorup-related threats
• Pre-test Design: data collection is performed prior to
experimentation
• Post-test Only/Control Group Design: data collection is
performed after experimentation and comparison of data
after experimentation will be performed between/among
control and experimental groups
• Pre- and Post-test Design: data collection is performed
before and after experimentation
26. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Experimental Research
• Quasi Experimental: The researcher can collect
more data, either by schedulling more observations
or finding more existing measures
• Non-equivalent control group design: refers to the
chance of failure of random assignment to equalize the
conditions by converting a true experiment into this kind of
design, for purposes of analysis
• Interrupted time series design: employs multiple
measures before and after the experimental intervention
27. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Experimental Research
• Pre-experimental: apply to experimental designs
with the least internal validity
• One Shot Case Study: A type of pre-experimental design
where a single group of test units is exposed to an
experimental treatment and a single measurement is taken
afterwards
• Single Group Pre-test, Post-test Design: measures the
group two times, before and after the intervention
28. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Non-Experimental Research
• The researcher observes the phenomena as they
occur naturally and no external variables are
introduced
• Main purpose is to observe, describe and document
aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and
sometimes to serves as a starting point for
hypotheses generation or theory development
29. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Non-Experimental Research
• Survey: a research design used when the researcher
intends to provide a quantitative or numeric
description of trends, attitudes or opinions of a
population by studying a sample of that population
• Correlational: has 3 types:
• Bivariate correlational studies: obtain scores from two
variables for each subject then use them to calculate a
correlational coefficient
• Prediction studies: use correlation coefficient to show how
one variable (predictor variable) predicts another (criterion
variable)
30. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Non-Experimental Research
• Correlational: has 3 types:
• Multiple regression prediction studies: all of the
variables can contribute to the over-all prediction in an
equation that adds together the predictive power of each
identified variable.
• Ex-Post Facto Research Design: used to
investigate causal relationship, which examine
whether one or more pre-existing conditons could
possibly have caused subsequent differences in
groups of subjects.
31. Lesson 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
Non-Experimental Research
• Comparative Design: involves comparing and
contrasting two or more samples of study subjects
on one or more variables, often at a single point of
time.
• Evaluative Research: seeks to assess or judge in
some way providing information about something
other than might be gleaned in mere observation or
investigation of relationships.
• Methodological: the implementation of a variety of
methdologies forms a critical part of achieving the
goal of developing a scale-matched approach.
