Practical Research 2 (Week 13-14) Bachelor of Science in Real Estate Management PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2 Activity 2. Quantitative Research Designs Summary Directions: Using the template below, summarize the five quantitative research designs according to its goal, and its corresponding variable manipulation. Research Design Goal How variable is handled or manipulated 1. Descriptive The goal of descriptive research is There is no experimental only to describe the person or manipulation and the researcher object of the study. It aims to does not start with a hypothesis. It accurately and systematically is observed as they naturally describe a population, situation or occur and then the associations phenomenon. It can answer what, between the variables are studied. where, when and how questions, but not why questions. 2. Correlational The goal of correlational research Neither variable is manipulated. It design is to identify the does not matter how or where the relationship between variables. It variables are measured. Data is aims to identify variables that have collected by observation since it some sort of relationship do the does not consider the cause and extent that a change in one effect. creates some change in the other. 3. Ex post facto It aims to look at the possible There is no experimental causes of an already occurring manipulation in this design. It phenomenon that used to takes the effect (or dependent investigate a possible relationship variable) and examines the data between previous events and retrospectively to establish present conditions. causes, relationships or associations, and their meanings. 4. Quasi experimental To establish the cause and effect The independent variable is relationship of variables. identified but not manipulated. 5. Experimental It aims to establish the cause and It manipulates the independent effect relationship of two or more variable and measurement of a variables. dependent variable. It controls other variables by holding them constantly while manipulating the independent variable by systematically adjusting its level. Activity 3. Choose the Appropriate Research Design Directions: Determine the quantitative research design appropriate for the sample research titles. Make sure to explain your choice into two to three sentences.
