At the end of this module, you should be able to:


1. Describe the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and
kinds of quantitative research (CS_RS12-Ia-c-1);
2. the importance of quantitative research across fields
3. the nature of variables
INTRODUCTION TO
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Quantitative research uses


scientifically collected and statistically
analyzed data to investigate
observable phenomena.

Once data is collected, it will undergo


statistical analysis like Pearson’s r, t-
test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
for analysis.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH

Quantitative research is
commonly used in natural
sciences research problems
because of the following
characteristics:
1. Large Sample Size.
5
To obtain more meaningful statistical result, the data
must come from a large sample size.
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.
4. Faster Data Analysis. The use of a statistical tools gives
way for a less time-consuming data analysis.
5. Generalized Data. 6

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.

7. 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.

8. High Replicability. The Quantitative method can be repeated to verify


findings enhancing its validity, free from false or immature conclusions.

ADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

1. Very objective
2. Numerical and quantifiable data can be used to predict
outcomes.
3. Findings are generalizable to the population.
4. There is conclusive establishment of cause and effect
5. Fast and easy data analysis using statistical software.
6. Fast and easy data gathering
7. Quantitative research can be replicated or repeated.
8. Validity and reliability can be established
DISADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
8
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 9

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.
2. The correlational design
identifies the relationship between
variables. Data is collected by observation since it
does not consider the cause and effect, for
example, the relationship between the amount of
3. Ex post facto design
is used to investigate a possible relationship
between previous events and present conditions.
The term “Ex post facto” which means after the fact,
looks at the possible causes of an already occurring
phenomenon.

4. A 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.
a research approach that's similar to a true
experiment, but it lacks the random assignment of
participants to groups
11
5. 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.
