LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET IN INQUIRIES, INVESTIGATION, AND IMMERSION

2ND Semester, Quarter 1- Week 4

Name: ____________________________________ Grade & Section: ___________ Score: ________

Lesson 4: Research Design

I- INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

The 3 I’s: Inquiry, Investigation and Immersion module is a way of realizations that come along their
life such as the different issues which surrounds them. This query is the act of understanding ways to
collect data using explicit processes or techniques used to recognize, choose, process and analyze data
about an issue.

II- LEARNING COMPETENCIES

The learner describes adequately research design (either quantitative or qualitative), sample,
instrument used in quantitative research, data collection and analysis procedures. 2. Presents written
research methodology.

Specific Objectives:

At the end of this session, you are expected to learn the following:

1. identify research design in qualitative and quantitative research; and

2. choose and write appropriate research design in chosen research topic.

III- LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Concept Elaboration

Research Design

The research design states to the whole approach that you decide on to add the different components
of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you will effectively address the research
problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data. Note that
your research problem determines the type of design you should use.

1. Quantitative / Qualitative Research

a. Quantitative Research: Methods that give emphasis to objective measurements and the statistical,
mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through samples, questionnaires, and surveys,
or by employing pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques. Quantitative research
concentrates on collecting numerical data and simplifying it across groups of people or to explain a
particular phenomenon.
b. Qualitative Research: A systematic subjective approach used to describe life experiences and give
them meaning. To gain insight; explore the depth, richness, and complexity inherent in the
phenomenon.

c. Quantitative research are: c.1. Survey research uses interviews, questionnaires, and sampling polls
to get a sense of behavior with intense precision. c.2. Correlational research tests for the relationships
between two variables. C.3. Causal-comparative research looks to uncover a cause and effect
relationship. This research is not conducted between the two groups on each other.c.4. Experimental
research is guided specifically by a hypothesis.

d. Qualitative research are: d.1. Ethnography, you immerse yourself in the target participants’
environment to understand the goals, cultures, challenges, motivations, and themes that emerge. d.2.
Narrative approach weaves together a sequence of events, usually from just one or two individuals to
form a cohesive story. d.3. Phenomenological study is an appropriate qualitative method when you
want to describe an event, activity, or phenomenon d.4. Case study a way of explaining an
organization, entity, company, or event which involves a deep understanding through multiple types
of data sources.

To come up with the chosen design whether quantitative or qualitative research, think of which best
suites in the given title or topic to explore the collective ideas and picture out to reveal better
understanding. Abstract is allowed to envision the young minds.
