Non-experimental research includes descriptive, comparative, and correlational studies, while experimental research is divided into true and quasi-experimental designs. It also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of quantitative research, highlighting its generalizability, objectivity, and ability to test hypotheses, alongside limitations like potential superficiality and cost.

Types of Quantitative Research
There are several approaches used in
conducting a quantitative research studies.
These approaches may fall into two (2)
categories classified as non-experimental and
experimental research designs.
Non Experimental Research
1. Non-experimental Research Designs- Non-experimental
research designs embody a group of techniques used to conduct
quantitative research where there is no manipulation done to any
variable in the study. In other words, variables are measured as they
occur naturally, without interference of any kind by the researcher.
This lack of manipulation may exist because the variable was naturally
“manipulated” before the study began or because it is not possible, or
feasible, for the researcher to manipulate a particular variable
(Mertler, 2014). Three common types of non-experimental research
design include descriptive, comparative and correlational.
Non Experimental Research
A. Descriptive. The purpose of descriptive studies is to describe, and
interpret, the current status of individuals, settings, conditions, or
events (Mertler, 2014). In descriptive research, the researcher is
simply studying the phenomenon of interest as it exists naturally; no
attempt is made to manipulate the individuals, conditions, or events.
Descriptive research design is appropriate to answer the following
research questions including “What is the level of COVID-19
knowledge of Senior High School Students in Mondano National High
School?”, What is the extent of satisfaction of students in DCQN
National High School in terms of facilities and instruction?”
Non Experimental Research
B. Comparative. It involves comparing and contrasting two or more
groups of the study subjects based on a particular dependent variable.
Specifically, it compares two or more distinct groups on the basis of
selected attributes such as knowledge level, perceptions and attitudes
and others. Comparative research is appropriate to answer the
following research questions including “Is there a significant difference
in the level of COVID-19 awareness between grades 11 and 12
students?”, “Is there a significant difference in the Microsoft office
competence of the students when grouped according to academic
strand (STEM, HUMSS, ABM and GAS)?
Non Experimental Research
C. Correlational. The purpose of correlational studies is to discover,
and then possibly measure, relationships between two or more
variables. From a research perspective, the word relationship means
that an individual’s status on one variable tends to reflect his or her
status on another variable. Correlational research in education seeks
out traits, abilities, or conditions that covary, or co-relate, with each
other. Correlational research is appropriate to answer the following
research questions “ Is there a significant relationship between hours
of study and academic performance of senior high school students in
DCQN National High School?”.
Experimental Research
It is a group of techniques where the researcher
establishes different treatments or conditions and then
studies their effects on the participants. It is because of
this ability to manipulate the treatment conditions and
control for many extraneous factors that experimental
studies are the most conclusive of all research designs.
Two (2) common types of experimental research
designs include true experimental and quasi-
experimental research designs.
Experimental Research
True experimental. True experimental research
designs share one important characteristic in common:
They all involve the random assignment of participants
to treatment conditions (Gay et al., 2009). Random
assignment is one of the most powerful techniques for
controlling for extraneous threats to validity (Fraenkel
et al., 2012). Furthermore, samples are also randomly
selected before they are randomly assigned.
Experimental Research
Quasi-experimental. It comes close to true
experiments; however, there is still no random
assignment of the participants to groups, which
weakens the ability to control for extraneous
influences.

Review
Quantitative research is a systematic study of existing problems
by collecting and analyzing numerical data using statistical
processes that generalize findings, predict future outcomes and
investigate causal relationship.
The main goals of quantitative research are to test
hypotheses, explore causal relationships, make predictions,
and generalize the findings within a population.
Review: Characteristics of a
quantitative research
Large Sample Size Fast and Easy Data
Objectivity Collection

Concise Visual Presentation Reliable Data


Faster data analysis High Replicability

Generalized Data
Review
The outcome of quantitative research can be
generalized easily for the whole
population. The reason behind this is that
quantitative research is conducted on a large
sample of the population. A decision can be
taken for the entire population based on the
outcome of the sample population.

Strength and
Weaknesses of
Quantitative Research
Strengths and Weaknesses of a
Quantitative Research
According to Palmer (2019), the
following are the strengths and weaknesses
of employing quantitative research.
Strengths and Weaknesses of a
Quantitative Research
According to Palmer (2019), the
following are the strengths and weaknesses
of employing quantitative research.
Strengths
1. It is GENERALIZABLE
This can approximately represent a wider
population because of its greater number of
respondents.
Strengths
2. It is OBJECTIVE
The use of systematic and mathematical
procedures in summarizing and analyzing the
data is scientifically accurate and rational.
Strengths
3. It can be REPLICATED
Repetition of this study in other location and
different set of respondents is allowed and it can
be compared with its related studies since it has
a well-structured standard.
Strengths
4. It can PROCESS FASTER DATA
ANALYSIS.
The use of statistical software can
summarize information and can compare across
categories and over time in a short period of
time.
Strengths
5. It can TEST HYPOTHESES
The statistical analysis is capable of testing
significant relationship, difference and effect.
Strengths
6. It can UNBIASED
Gathering of data preferred random
sampling which keeps distances from the
respondents.
Weaknesses
Weaknesses
1. It may miss some circumstantial or
contextual facts (SUPERFICIAL).
In the process of data collection, the researcher
cannot explain the meaning of the questions for
the respondents and there are no opportunities
respondents to explain their answers. It may
gather much narrower and shallow dataset.
Weaknesses
2. A fixed structure may lead to its
inflexibility process of discovery.
The study is designed first before it is
conducted which makes its procedures fixed that
leads to limited information.
Weaknesses
3. It can lead to structural bias and
false representation.
The researcher may define more
personalized and standard questions
instead of the respondents’ reflection.
Weaknesses
4. It is COSTLY
Due to very large sample, the expenses
will be greater in reaching out to these
people and in reproducing the
questionnaires.
