Study Notes
Types of Quantitative Research
-
Descriptive Design: Aims to describe a phenomenon as it naturally occurs. It observes without manipulation, and doesn't start with a hypothesis.
-
Example: Determining student academic performance during modular distance learning.
Types of Quantitative Research (cont.)
-
Correlational Design: Examines relationships between two or more variables. It identifies correlations but does not prove cause and effect.
-
Example: Relationship between physical activity and student academic achievement.
Types of Quantitative Research (cont.)
-
Quasi-Experimental Design: Establishes cause-and-effect relationships, but subjects are not randomly selected or assigned.
-
Example: Effect of smoking on the respiratory system.
Types of Quantitative Research (cont.)
-
Experimental Design: Establishes cause-and-effect relationships by randomly assigning subjects to experimental and control groups.
-
Example: Effect of plant growth enhancers on plant growth. This shows a clear experimental and control group.
