Quantitative research uses computational procedures and numerical analysis to objectively investigate phenomena in a methodical manner. It aims to generalize results to a larger population by collecting measurable and unbiased data. Key characteristics include being empirical, systematic, controlled, hypothetical, analytical, objective, and transformative. Quantitative research relies on structured instruments to collect numerical data in the form of statistics presented in tables, charts and graphs. Its primary focus is numbers and relationships between variables.

6. • 1. define what
quantitative research is;
• 2. describe the
different
characteristics of
quantitative research
OBJECTIVES

8. ACTIVITY 1
• The learners will share
their insights when they
hear the word
“RESEARC
H.”

9. MOTIVATION
ACTIVITY 2
“Humans are
naturally curious
about anything
and everything.”

10. The word research was
coined from the French
word “cerhier” which
means to seek. The
prefix “re” means to
repeat.
Research

11. Research signifies
finding the truth again
about ideas and
problems which were in
existence before
different perspectives.

12. • Research is widely
recognized as
important tool for
solving man’s various
problem and making
life more colorful and
convenient.

13. Quantitative research, through the
use of computational procedures, is
an objective, methodical
experiential investigation of
recognizable phenomena. It is
highlighted with numerical analysis
of data expecting that the results
that can be generalized to some
bigger population and describe a
particular observation having no
biases.
What is a Quantitative
Research?

14. CHARACTERIS
TICS OF
QUANTITATI
VE RESEARCH

15. EMPIRICAL- It is based on observing and
experimenting theories.
SYSTEMATIC- it is sorts an orderly
pattern and sequential procedure.
CONTROLLED- all variables are kept
constant except those that are tested
and experimented.
HYPOTHETICAL- it is guiding an
investigation process.

16. ANALYTICAL- it appears no error in its
interpretation which is observed in critical
analysis of all data.
OBJECTIVE- it is unbiased and logical
measures and are treated statistically
because it employs quantitative or statistical
methods.
TRANSFORMATIVE- data can be numerical
measures and are treated statistically
because it employs quantitative or statistical
methods.

17. Original/Authentic- A research
possess/ portrays the value of
uniqueness. Novelty, and definiteness
of ones’ own work.
Clear Defined Research Questions-
the researchers know in advance
what they are looking for.

18. Structured Research instruments-
data are normally gathered using
structured research tool as
questionnaires to collect measureable
characteristics of the population like
age, socio- economic status, etc.
Numerical Data- data are in the form
of numbers and statistics, often
organized and presented using tables,
charts, graphs and figures.

19. ACTIVITY 3
Make graphic
organizer showing
the characteristics
of a quantitative
research.

20. GENERALIZATION
The learners will explain how they can
use this lesson in their life. Then, they
will make a reflection using the
following paragraph starters.
• Today I learned
that____________________
• I realized that
_________________________

21. EVALUATION
Read the statement carefully.
Write PRACTICAL if the
statement is true and
RESEARCH if the statement
is FALSE. Write your answer
in the space provided.

22. EVALUATION
________________1. A research
is empirical because research is
based on observing and
experimenting theories.
________________2. Having a
data collection using some
quantitative methods is relatively
slow.

23. EVALUATION
________________3. Research is
very useful for studying a large
number of people.
________________4. In
quantitative research, data are
transformed into numerical
measures and treated statistically
because it employs quantitative or

24. EVALUATION
________________5. Research
provides an accurate, quantitative,
numerical data.
________________6. Data in a
quantitative research can’t be
numerical measures and statistical
methods.

25. EVALUATION
________________7. Due to very
large sample, the expenses will be
greater in reaching out to these
people and in reproducing the
questionnaires.
________________8. A
quantitative research has biased and
illogical measures of data.

26. EVALUATION
________________9.
Quantitative research is guiding an
investigation process.
________________10. The
primary concern of quantitative
research is numbers and its
relationship with events.

27. ASSIGNMENT
The learners will respond to the
following guide questions.
1. How will you describe quantitative
research?
2. Identify the strengths and
weaknesses of quantitative
research.
