Quantitative Research Overview

What does Descriptive Research focus on?

• The effects of a program or activity on a set of dependent variables.

• The correlation between two variables.

• The prediction of future outcomes based on past data.

• The classification of data into categories.

What are the two non-experimental types of quantitative research?

• Descriptive and Correlational

• Experimental and Observational

• Qualitative and Quantitative

• Statistical and Analytical

What is an example of Correlational Research?

• The impact of sleep on academic performance

• Communicative Skills and Critical Thinking Skills of Grade 12 students.

• The effectiveness of a new teaching method

• The relationship between exercise and mental health

What is the Definition of Variables?

• A list of research variables with operational definitions based on the researchers’ understanding.

• A collection of random numbers used in statistical analysis.

• A set of constants that do not change during an experiment.

• A summary of all the data collected in a research study.

What is the difference between Independent and Dependent Variables?

• Independent variables are always constant, while dependent variables vary.

• Independent variables affect the dependent variable, while dependent variables are affected by the independent variable.

• Dependent variables can be manipulated, while independent variables cannot.

• Independent variables are the results of experiments, while dependent variables are the factors being tested.

What is a Statement of the Problem?

• A summary of the research findings.

• The heart of the research that describes and presents the research questions.

• A list of references used in the research.

• An introduction to the research topic.

What is the purpose of the Review of Related Literature and Studies (RRL and S)?

• To compile all relevant resources and references which support the research study.

• To summarize the findings of previous research without analysis.

• To provide a detailed methodology for conducting experiments.

• To present personal opinions and beliefs about the topic.

What is a Hypothesis?

• A scientific guess or tentative answer to the Statement of the Problem.

• A definitive conclusion based on extensive research.

• An untested theory that lacks evidence.

• A random assumption without any basis.

What is Quasi-Experimental Research?

• A type of research that follows the experimental and process-based approach.

• A research method that relies solely on observational data.

• A type of research that does not involve any control groups.

• A method used exclusively for qualitative analysis.

What does the Significance of the Study address?

• The methodology used in the study.

• The benefits and social importance and impact of the study.

• The limitations and challenges faced during the study.

• The theoretical framework supporting the study.
