What’s In
In your previous grade level, you have learned the process of selecting or choosing
the appropriate qualitative research design in Practical research 1 subject.
This activity will test your memory and understanding regarding the qualitative
research design discussed in your practical research 1 subject. Your task is to discuss
the following statement.
Set A
1. EPEXIREMNATL _______________________
2. T U R E- E P E X I R E M N A T L _______________________
3. Q A U I S- E P E X I R M N A T L _______________________
4. MTACEHD–CMPOAIRSON _______________________
5. T M I E- S R E I E S _______________________
6. RAEPETDMAESRUE _______________________
Set B
1. ONN–EPEXIREMNATL _______________________
2. DSECIRTPIVE _______________________
3. CMOPAARTIVE _______________________
4. CRREOLAITVE _______________________
5. SRUEVY _______________________
2. Unlocking of Difficulties:
Set A
Set B
Experiment; no manipulation of variable; measures
________________1. variable occurs naturally; no measure independent
variable only; non-experiment
From the “Unlocking of Difficulties” part, choose 1 item there from set A and set B. Then,
construct your own sentence using the 3 words/phrases/sentences that you’ve chosen
in each number.
Let’s analyze:
1. What is the common word that you have found in each item in set A and in Set
B from the motivation activity and unlocking of difficulties?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
2. In the motivation activity, which item number served as the general term for set
A and for set B?
______________________________________________________________________________

What is It
2. Quasi-Experimental
This type of experimental design has its limitations because the researcher
is selecting the participants purposively instead of random selection.
Baraceros (2016) stated that experimental design is incapable of establishing
cause and effect relationship.
Based on this figure, which group received treatment and which do not
receive treatment?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
The researcher assigns two groups which are purposively selected, one is
the control group and the other one is experimental group. Using this pre-test
and post-test design, both control and experimental group undergoes in pre-
test and post-test design. However, only the experimental group will receive
the treatment process after conducting a pre-test.
3. Matched Comparison Group
In this type of research design, instead of selecting participants for the
control group, the researcher will get a participant that shows close
similarities with experimental or treatment group based on one or more
important variable.
4. Time-Series Design
A research design which consists of studying one-group of respondents
over time with multiple series of pre-test and post-test, and observation by
researcher. Baraceros (2010), pointed out that the purpose of series of
observation is to see the connection between pre-test and post-test based on
taking place of the treatment or condition.
As reflected in the table below by Creswell (2014), it shows the process of
conducting time-series design using two variation design of time series. The
interrupted time series, in which one group is obtaining multiple pre-test
and observation for a period of time followed by conducting an intervention or
activities, then it measures the outcome through conducting multiple series
of post-test or observation. On the other hand, the researcher is doing an
equivalent time series, he/she alternates a treatment with a post-test
measure.

In the equivalent time series design, how does the experiment being done as
described in this figure?

5. Repeated Measure Design
In this research design, all participants belong to the single group receives
experimental treatment. The researcher will compare the performance of the
single group in the first experimental treatment to their performance under
the new experimental treatment. The table below describes how repeated
measure design is being conducted.
The second general type of research design does not involve manipulation of
control or independent variable. In non-experimental research, researchers
measure variables as they naturally occur without any further manipulation.
1. Descriptive research design- this type of research design under non-
experimental describes a population, situation, or phenomenon.
2. Comparative research design- this research design states the difference or
similarities between two or more groups.
3. Correlational research design- a type of research design involves observing
two variables in order to establish a statistical correlation between them either
positive or negative correlation. In addition, Baraceros (2016) stated that
correlational research describes and measures the degree of association or
relationship between two variables.
