What I Have Learned

1. Quantitative research is a research strategy that focuses on quantifying the collection and
analysis of data. It is formed from a deductive approach where emphasis is placed on the testing
of theory, shaped by empiricist and positivist philosophies
2. Characteristics of Quantitative Research

In natural and social sciences, and maybe in other fields, quantitative research is the systematic
empirical investigation of observable phenomena via statistical, mathematical, or computational
techniques. The objective of quantitative research is to develop and employ mathematical models,
theories, and hypotheses pertaining to phenomena.

What I Have Learned

A. Quantitative research is relevant to several discipline that involve seeing how much of a
populace is inclined or not to specific things like Statistics. This kind of study is also relevant in
Ecology when reviewing about the communities in different ecosystems.

B. Explain briefly, the importance or contribution of quantitative research to each of the following
fields of study.

Field Importance / contribution

Natural and Physical Science It is one of the most important channels of knowledge. It has a
specific role, as well as a variety of functions for the benefit of
our society: creating new knowledge, improving education,
and increasing the quality of our lives. Science must respond to
societal needs and global challenges.
Education Engages in the science and practice of educational
measurement and evaluation.
Improvement of the human condition through better
knowledge, health, living conditions, social equity and
productivity.
Sports Enhance athletic performance and to get your healthy life style
and to get physically fit to let you know if you are healthy or
not.
Arts and Design While quantitative research aims to measure the impact of the
arts on student learning by testing the claims of its advocates
through controlled, experimental methods, qualitative
research methods may be applied in an effort to describe the
impact of the arts in education within the heuristic world of
arts education.
Agriculture and Fisheries The agriculture and fisheries sector provides food and vital raw
materials for the rest of the economy. It is itself a significant
market for the products and services of the non- agricultural
economy. As the sector grows and modernizes, it releases
surplus labor to the industry and services sectors. Sustainable,
productive fisheries and aquaculture improve food and
nutrition security, increase income and improve livelihoods,
promote economic growth and protect our environment and
natural resources.
Information and Communication Written for communication students, Quantitative Research in
Technology Communication provides practical, user-friendly coverage of
how to use statistics, how to interpret SPSS printouts, how to
write results, and how to assess whether the assumptions of
various procedures have been met.
Social Science Quantitative research aims to be generalizable to large
 populations by using specific sampling methods and large data
sets. It can provide important descriptive statistics about a
population or location, allowing us to grasp key characteristics
of the object(s) of study.
Business and Accounting Accounting plays a vital role in running a business because it
helps you track income and expenditures, ensure statutory
compliance, and provide investors, management, and
government with quantitative financial information which can
be used in making business decisions.

What’s More – Identifying Variables

1.
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: The performance of the three groups of the students during Math
examination
DEPENDENT VARIABLE: The score of the students in Math examination
EXTRANEOUS VARIABLE: The controlled from temperature of 18°,20° and 25°
2.
Independent variable: the variable of the price.
dependent variable; the number of consumer
Extraneous variable; the type of product
3.
INDEPENDENT: The soil
DEPENDENT: The Pechay
EXTRANEOUS: Soil from her backyard compost or the soil underneath the nearby bamboo tree.
4.
independent: charging cable combination
dependent: fastest to fill the phone battery
extraneous :different phone brands
5.
Independent: 3 types of learning modules.
Dependent: Scores and completion time of the 3 groups.
Extraneous: Slow Internet and travel time to submit activity sheets.

What I Have Learned

1) Quantitative Variables - Variables whose values result from counting or measuring something.
Qualitative Variables - Variables that are not measurement variables. Their values do not result
from measuring or counting. Designator - Values that are used to identify individuals in a table.
2) Descriptive studies only describe the current state of a variable, so there are no presumed cause
or effects, therefore no independent and dependent variables. Since neither variable in a
correlational design is manipulated, it is impossible to determine which is the cause and which is
the effect.
3) The importance of dependent and independent variables is that they guide the researchers to
per sue their studies with maximum curiosity. Dependent and independent variables are
important because they drive the research process.
4) A confounding variable is a third variable that influences both the independent and dependent
variables. Failing to account for confounding variables can cause you to wrongly estimate the
relationship between your independent and dependent variables
 5) Nominal and Ordinal are part of Qualitative variable therefore, we use them in defining groups
of subject (Nominal) and ranking in a certain order (Ordinal). On the other hand, Discrete and
Continuous are part of Quantitative variable. We use them on counting whole number (Discrete)
and fractional (Non-whole numbers).

What I Can Do

 My uncle conducted a quantitative research entitled “Car insurance costs increase with traffic
violations and accidents.” In the study, the number of traffic violations and accidents would
control our car insurance costs so that’s in control or the independent variable is the insurance
costs.
