Quantitative research

Quantitative research

1. Descriptive

   • Provides systematic information about a phenomenon.

2. Causal-comparative/quasiexperimental

3. Correlational

4. Experimental

5. Descriptive

   • Provides systematic information about a phenomenon.
   • Describe the current status of an identified variable.
   • The analysis and synthesis of the data provide the test of the hypothesis.
   • Systematic collection of information and careful selection of the units studied and variables.

6. Causal-comparative/quasiexperimental

   • Establish causeeffect relationships among the variables.
   • An independent variable is identified but not manipulated by the experimenter
   • The independent variable on the dependent variable are measured.
   • Identified control groups exposed to the treatment variable are studied and compared to groups who are not.

7. Experimental

   • Uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables.
   • True experimentation
     • Any study where an effort is made to identify and impose control over all other variables except one.
   • An independent variable is manipulated to determine the effects on the dependent variables.
   • Subjects are randomly assigned to experimental treatments rather than identified

8. Correlational

   • recognize trends and patterns in data, but it does not go so far in its analysis to prove causes for these observed patterns.
   • The data, relationships, and distributions of variables are studied only
   • Stands a relationship between two or more variables using statistical data.
