• Kinds of quatitative research?

  Descriptive, Correlational, Casual-comparative, and Experimental
• Casual-Comparative/Quasiexperimental research - Aims to measure the casual relationship between variables
• Descriptive Research - Basically answers question such as who, what, where, when, and how much
• Correlational Research - Seeks to determine if variable increases or decreases as another variable increases or decreases
• Descriptive Research - Main objective of the study is just to observe and report a certain phenomenon as its happening
• Experimental - based on the organized and logic steps of scientific method
• Research is an organized and systematic method of finding answers to questions.
• Inquiry is an act of asking questions.
• Inquiry - It is a process that has the aim of argumenting knowledge, resolving doubt or solving problem.

• A CONSTRUCT is an attribute or characteristic expressed in an abstract, general way.
• A VARIABLE is a characteristic or attribute of an individual or an organization that (a) can be measured or observed by the researcher and that (b) varies among individuals or organizations studied.
• If the variable is made up of names it is pointless to do arithmetic on them, these are called nominal
• In its simplest form, it names just two distinct types of things, for example, male or female. This is known as a binary variable.
• When categories are ordered, the variable is known as an ordinal variable
• A continuous variable is one that gives us a score for each person and can take on any value on the measurement scale that we are using.
• Experimental Group - In this group, treatment or influence is applied
• Control Group - This group does not receive any treatment manipulation.
• What are the 2 groups involved in experimental research?

  Experimental group and Control group
• Correlational Research - it is a type of non-experimental reserach in which the researcher measures the two variables and investigates the statistical relationship between.
