    Study Notes

    Research Design Types

    • To test the effect of music on Senior High School students' mood, a causal-comparative research design would be used.
    • To measure the level of confidence of HUMSS students and its relationship to their oral performance in class, a correlational research design is most appropriate.
    • To compare the level of environmental awareness between rural and urban Senior High School students while looking for relationships between variables, a survey research design would be suitable.

    Characteristics of Research Designs

    • Experimental design is distinguished from other research designs by its manipulation of a variable to observe its effect on the outcome.
    • Correlational design is set apart from other research designs by its focus on observing relationships between variables without manipulation.
    • Naturalistic observation design focuses on observing behavior in its natural setting without intervention or manipulation.

    Functions of Research Design

    • The purpose of a research design in a study is to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings.
    • Experimental research design involves manipulating one or more variables to observe their effect on the outcome.
    • A Non-Experimental research design does not involve manipulation of variables; instead, it involves observing and analyzing existing data.
    • The three types of Non-Experimental research designs mentioned are surveys, correlational studies, and ex post facto studies.
    • True Experimental research design involves random assignment of participants to groups, whereas Quasi-Experimental research design does not involve random assignment.

    Applications of Research Design

    • A descriptive research design was used to describe the participants' intelligence through their scores in Math.
    • A correlational research design was employed to establish a relationship between the participants' Math scores and their attitude.
    • Research design plays a crucial role in a study by ensuring the validity and reliability of the findings.
    • Research design can provide a systematic approach to data collection and analysis for a study.
