Study Notes

Nature of Inquiry and Research

Republic Act 8293, Section 176 outlines copyright issues for government works in the Philippines; works can be used for profit with prior approval and potential royalties.
Importance of ethical use of borrowed materials; effort must be made to obtain permission from copyright holders.

Development and Management Teams

Module authored by Kim Charies L. Okit and Rochelle A. Luzano, PhD, with contributions from a team of reviewers and illustrators.
Led by Dr. Arturo B. Bayocot and his management team overseeing the module's delivery and quality.

Types of Research

Two main classifications of research methods: quantitative and qualitative.
Qualitative research focuses on narrative descriptions and does not generalize findings, while quantitative research emphasizes systematic and objective analysis.

Characteristics of Quantitative Research

Involves structured data collection with the ability to present data through tables and graphs.
Aids in generalization and prediction due to its objective nature.
Data is numerical and analyzed statistically, often leading to replicable studies.
Less flexibility in changing the study's course once established compared to qualitative research.

Kinds of Quantitative Research

Descriptive: Observes phenomena to describe without manipulation. Example: Analyzing physical activity frequency among students during quarantine.
Correlational: Identifies relationships between variables without establishing cause and effect. Example: Examining the link between physical activity and academic achievement.
Ex Post Facto: Investigates relationships between past events and current conditions without manipulation. Example: How parents' academic achievements impact children's obesity.
Quasi-Experimental: Attempts to establish cause-and-effect relationships without random assignment. Example: Effects of unemployment on attitudes towards safety protocols.
Experimental: More conclusive cause-and-effect establishment through random assignment and manipulation. Example: Impact of various learning methods on pupils' reading comprehension.

Research Variables

Independent Variables: Factors manipulated by researchers, presumed causes of observed effects.
Dependent Variables: Measured qualities affected by independent variables.
Extraneous Variables: Other influencing factors not manipulated; these must be controlled to maintain internal validity.

Activities and Evaluation

True or False activity to assess understanding of quantitative research traits.
Yes or No activity to determine appropriateness of quantitative approaches for various research questions.

Conclusion

Understanding quantitative research enhances the ability to formulate the right questions and identify suitable methodologies for effective inquiry.
