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 re-
search problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, mea-
surement, and analysis of data. Note that your research problem
determines the type of design you should use.
Research Design

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 statis -
tical data using computational techniques. Quantitative research concentrates on collecting numerical data and simplify -
ing 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. Mixed Methods Research: A procedure for collecting, analyzing, and mixing both quantitative and qualitative research
and methods in a single study to understand the research problem.

Tradition of Inquiry
a. Phenomenological. Describes meaning of the lived experiences for several people about a concept or the phenome -
non. Phenomenological study is found in various research subjects such as: Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology and in
Health and Human Sciences among others.
b. Ethnography. Deals with the description and interpretation of a social or cultural group. The researcher, studies the sub -
jects’ or group’ pattern of behavior, customs, and ways of life.
c. Grounded Theory. The purpose of a grounded theory study is to generate or discover a theory. In a grounded theory
approach, individuals interact, act and engage in a process in reaction to a phenomenon.
d. Case Study. Involves both complex and intensive analysis of an individual unit as a group or community. It emphasizes
developmental issues and relationships with the environment, while it documents real life situation and other events
through data collection involving multiple sources of materials rich in context.
e. Action Research. Refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and analytical research methods designed to di -
agnose problems or weaknesses—whether organizational, academic, or instructional—and help educators develop
practical solutions to address them quickly and efficiently. Action research may also be applied to programs or educa -
tional techniques that are not necessarily experiencing any problems, but that educators simply want to learn more
about and improve.

Data Generation Method


The technique used by the researchers in generating qualitative/quantitative data from the participants.

Respondents and Sampling Procedure


Persons who have been invited to participate in a particular study and have actually taken part in the study.

Sampling Methods:
a. Random sampling is a technique which uses randomization to make sure that every element of the population gets an
equal chance to be part of the selected sample.
b. Stratified sampling is a technique which divides the elements of the population into small subgroups (strata) based on
the similarity in such a way that the elements within the group are homogeneous and heterogeneous among the other
subgroups formed.
c. Convenience Sampling, here the samples are selected based on the availability.
d. Purposive sampling: This is based on the intention or the purpose of study.
e. Quota sampling: This type of sampling depends of some preset standard. It selects the representative sample from the
population.
f. Referral/ Snowball sampling: This technique is used in the situations where the population is completely unknown and
rare.
Research Design

Statistical Formula Used


Used to calculate values related to statistical concepts or analyses.
Research Design

Data Generation Procedure


The process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that en -
ables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.
Methods are: the use of survey tool, questionnaire, interviews, observation, instruments, and recorded data or resources
