WHAT MAKES A GOOD RESEARCH?

Good research produces reliable, ethical, and testable evidence that can be utilized to inform
policymaking. Professionalism, transparency, accountability, and authenticity of data are all values that
should be followed.

PRE-ASSESSMENT for Lesson 1– TRUE (QUANTITATIVE) OR FALSE (QUALITATIVE)

1. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - In quantitative research, researchers know in advance what they are
looking for.
2. QUALITATIVE (FALSE) - Quantitative research can be easily misinterpreted because it provides
numerical data.
3. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - Quantitative research puts emphasis on proof, rather than discovery.
4. QUALITATIVE (FALSE) - Normative research is conducted by researcher whose aim would be to
find out the direction and/or relationship between different variables or group of respondents
under study. (CORRELATIONAL DAPAT)
5. QUALITATIVE (FALSE) - Qualitative research requires a large number of respondents. It assumes
that the larger the sample is, the more statistically accurate the findings are. (QUANTI DAPAT)
6. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - Evaluation describes the status of a phenomenon at a particular time. It
describes without value judgment a situation that prevents
7. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - Correlational is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find
out the direction and/or relationship between different variables or groups of respondents
under study.
8. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - Methodological is the implementation of a variety of methodologies
that forms a critical part of achieving the goal of developing a scaled-matched approach, where
data from different disciplines can be integrated.
9. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - One characteristic of quantitative research is that its method can be
repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus, reinforcing validity findings.
10. QUANTITATIVE (TRUE) - In quantitative experiments it filters out external factors, if properly
designed, and so the results gained can be seen, as real and unbiased.

PRE-ASSESSMENT for Lesson 3 – IDENTIFICATION/WORD BLANK

1. VARIABLE - It refers to the characteristics that have two or more mutually exclusive values or
properties.
2. NOMINAL - Variables that represent categories that cannot be ordered in any particular way
3. CONTROL - Special kind of independent variables that are measured in a study because they
potentially influence the dependent variable.
4. RATIO - Variables that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers when
there is an absolute zero, as opposed to net worth, which can have a negative debt-to-income
ratio-level variable.
5. CONFOUNDING - Kind of variable that are not actually measured or observed in a study. They
exist but their influence cannot be directly detected in a study.
6. INTERVENING - It “stands between” the independent and dependent variables, and they show
the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable
7. ORDINAL - Variables that represent categories that can be ordered from greatest to smallest.
8. INDEPENDENT - Kind of variable that probably cause, influence, or affect outcomes. They are
variably called treatment, manipulated, antecedent or predictor variables.
9. DEPENDENT - Variables that depend on independent variables; they are the outcomes or results
of the influence of the independent variable
10. INTERVAL - Variables that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers.

2. Practical Experience
3. Previous Research
4. Existing Theories
5. Critical appraisal of Literature

Findings can be generalized if selection process is Related secondary data is sometimes not
well-designed and sample is representative of available or accessing available data is
study population difficult/impossible
Relatively easy to analyze Difficult to understand context of a phenomenon
Data can be very consistent, precise and reliable Data may not be robust enough to explain
complex issues

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: IDENTIFICATION

1. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH - It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers
yield unbiased results that can be generalized to some larger population and explain a particular
observation.
2. DATA ANALYSIS - It suggests that the data concerned can be analyzed in terms of numbers.
3. EX POST FACTO OR CASUAL COMPARATIVE – This kind of research derives conclusion from
observations and manifestations that already occurred in the past and now compared to some
dependent variables.
4. NORMATIVE - It describes the norm level of characteristics for a given behavior.
5. QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN - In this design, the researcher can collect more data, either by
scheduling more observations or finding more existing measures
6. CORRELATIONAL - It is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction,
associations and/or relationship between different variables or groups of respondents under
study.
7. RESEARCH DESIGN - It refers to the overall strategy that you choose in order to integrate the
different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby ensuring you will
effectively address the research problem.
8. TRUE-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN - It controls for both time-related and group-related threats. Two
features mark true experiments: two or more differently treated groups; and random
assignment to these groups.
9. MULTIPLE REGRESSION PREDICTION STUDIES - All variables in the study can contribute to the
over-all prediction in an equation that adds together the predictive power of each identified
variable.
10. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN - Its main purpose is to observe, describe and document
aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and sometimes to serve as a starting point for
hypothesis generation or theory development.
