NATURE OF INQUIRY AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
What is quantitative research?
• Quantitative research is defined as a systematic investigation
of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and
performing statistical, mathematical, or computational
techniques. Quantitative research collects information from
existing and potential customers using sampling methods and
sending out online surveys, online polls, questionnaires, etc.,
the results of which can be depicted in numerical form. After
careful understanding of these numbers to predict the future
of a product or service, necessary changes can be made.

NATURE OF INQUIRY AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
What is quantitative research?
• Quantitative research is mostly conducted in the
social sciences using the statistical methods
stated above to collect quantitative data from
the research study. In this research method,
researchers and statisticians deploy
mathematical frameworks and theories that
pertain to the quantity under question.

THESE ARE THE EXAMPLES OF
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

-Experimental
-Descriptive
-Correlational
-Evaluation
-Survey
-Causal-Comparative
A quantitative research that treats or
deals with the object or subject of the
research in a definite or exact manner
and determines the extent of the
effects or influence of the treatment on
the object/subject, then discovers the
causes of such effects. Two groups are
involved in an experimental research;
experimental group, factors which the
treatment or influence is applied, and
the control group, which does not
receive any treatment. For example if
you want to know the effectiveness of
flash card to the mathematical ability
of grade 7, you divide the grade 7
into two groups, the experimental
group where you are going to use
flash card and the control group where
flash card is not used.
EXPERIMENTAL
Descriptive research is defined as a research method that
describes the characteristics of the population or
phenomenon studied. This methodology focuses more on the
“what” of the research subject than the “why” of the
research subject. The descriptive research method primarily
focuses on describing the nature of a demographic segment,
without focusing on “why” a particular phenomenon occurs. In
other words, it “describes” the subject of the research,
without covering “why” it happens. For example, an apparel
brand that wants to understand the fashion purchasing trends
among Cagayano buyers will conduct a demographic survey
of this region, gather population data and then conduct
descriptive research on this demographic segment. The study
will then uncover details on “what is the purchasing pattern
of Cagayano buyers,” but not cover any investigative
information about “why” the patterns exits. Because for the
apparel brand trying to break into this market,
understanding the nature of their market is the study’s
objective.
DESCRIPTIVE
Correlational research is a type
of non-experimental research
method in which a researcher
measures two variables,
understands and assesses the
statistical relationship between
them with no influence from any
extraneous variable and shows
the correlation between two
variables For example if you
want to know or to find out the
correlation of being an only child
and academic performance. We
have two variables here, being
and only child and academic
performance.
CORRELATIONAL
Evaluation research, also
known as program evaluation,
refers to research purpose
instead of a specific method.
Evaluation research is the
systematic assessment of the
worth or merit of time, money,
effort and resources spent in
order to achieve a goal. For
example, is when you want to
know whether Solid Waste
Management (RA 9003) is
practiced in the barangays or
not.
EVALUATION
Survey Research is defined as
the process of conducting
research using surveys that
are sent to survey
respondents. The data
collected from surveys is then
statistically analyzed to draw
meaningful research
conclusions. For example,
when you want to know the
preference of parents and
learners in terms of the
modality of learning amidst
of Covid - 19 pandemic.
SURVEY
A causal-comparative design is a research design
that seeks to find relationships between
independent and dependent variables after an
action or event has already occurred. The
researcher's goal is to determine whether the
independent variable affected the outcome, or the
dependent variable, by comparing two or more
groups of individuals. There are similarities and
differences between causal-comparative research,
also referred to as ex post facto research and
both correlational and experimental research. For
example, is when you want to know or discover the
effect of Radio - Based Education on learners’
comprehension.
CAUSALCOMPARATIVE
ACTIVITY 1. GIVE ME A TITLE.
The learners will give
titles of research under
each example/type of
quantitative research.

ACTIVITY 2. LET’S DIFFERENTIATE!
The learners will
differentiate
Quantitative Research
from Qualitative
Research using a Venn
diagram.

The learners will identify
whether the given titles
are Quali research or
Quanti Research.

ACTIVITY 4. AREAS OF QUANTI-RESEARCH
The learners will come
up with a list of different
areas of research that
can be studied
quantitatively.

ACTIVITY 5
Given the scenario
below, provide five
descriptions of inquiry
and five for Quantitative
Research.

An example of quantitative research is the survey conducted
to understand the amount of time a doctor takes to tend to a
patient when the patient walks into the hospital. A patient
satisfaction survey template can be administered to ask
questions like how much time did a doctor take to see a
patient, how often a patient walks into a hospital, and other
such questions similar to such.
