PROCEDURES MEETING THE LEARNERS’ NEEDS
1. INTRODUCTION
 The teacher explains to the students the objectives of the topic.
At the end of this lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. Differentiate quantitative research and qualitative research.
2. Provide examples of research in areas of interest.
Teacher Tip:
2. MOTIVATION
 Picture Analysis.
 Analyze and Understand the given pictures below and share your thoughts about the
pictures.
Teacher Tip:
3. INSTRUCTION
TYPES OF RESEARCH
(ACCORDING TO TECHNIQUE)
These techniques can be classified into two broad categories – quantitative and qualitative
methods.
Teacher Tip:

3. Quantitative techniques collect data in the form of numbers.
Examples:
height, weight, age of a person; the daily, monthly or annual income of an employee ; and your
grades in academic subjects.
Qualitative techniques collect data in the form of words or statements.
Researches that use the quantitative techniques are called Quantitative Researches.
Researches that use qualitative techniques are called Qualitative Researches.
CHARACTERISTICS OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCHES
Qualitative Research
- More subjective
- Involves gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data based on observations. These data can be
in form of ideas, actions, symbols derived usually from in-depth observations and interviews.
- aims to interpret meanings, descriptions, and symbols
Some examples of qualitative research topics:
1. Students’ images of chemistry
2. Gender and cultural gaps in the classroom
3. Science practices of the Mangyan tribe
Quantitative Research
-More objective
-Good statistical treatments are important in deciding possible outcomes or conclusions
Some examples of Quantitative research topics:

4. 1. Growth performance of organic fertilizers
2. Population rate in Metro manila in the next 20 years
METHODS USED IN QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
One of the major difference is the methods that are employed.
In qualitative research, the researcher is usually immersed in the setting.
In quantitative, the researcher is separated from the process.
4. PRACTICE
 Venn Diagram Activity
 Directions: Complete the Venn diagram below by writing down differences and
similarities of qualitative research and quantitative research.
