Types of Quantitative Research

Nature of Quantitative Research Two aspects of Correlation

The aim of quantitative research is to examine the relationships between  Direction (Positive or Negative)
variables.  Magnitude (Weak or Strong)
It conducts the inquiry in unbiased or objective manner.

Types of variables
• Independent
• Dependent
• Extraneous

*Determine the relationship between one thing (an independent variable)

and another (a dependent or outcome variable) in a population It analyzes
numbers using statistics.

Poster- Independent Variable It uses the scientific method to establish cause-effect relationship among a

Two types of group
Types Quantitative Design  Experimental Group- gets the treated to the variable we are
Non-experimental studying. Ex. Group who will watch violent film
Experimental  Control Group- doesn’t get treatment. Ex. Who will watch non-
violent film
Descriptive Design
 It seeks to describe the current status of a variable. Characteristics of Experimental Design
 Data collection is mostly observational in nature.
Two Types RANDOMIZATION
• Cross sectional- different groups are surveyed and compared at one Participants being assigned to either receive (experimental group) or not
time. receive (control group), the treatment condition or intervention (IV).
• Longitudinal Study- – groups are surveyed and re-surveyed for
series of period of time. (observing if there’s any changes in their MANIPULATION
behavior) Manipulation is the process of maneuvering the IV, so that its effect on the
dependent variable (D.V) can be observed/measured.

Correlational Design
It explores the relationship between variables using statistical analyses.
CONTROL STEP 1
Control is for elimination of bias. Control group refers to a group of subjects, Ask yourself these questions and make note of the answers:
whose performance is used to evaluate the performance of experimental What is my paper about?
group on same D.V. What techniques / designs will be used?
Who are the participants?
Types of Experimental Research What will be the possible result?
 True Experimental Research
 Quasi-Experimental Research

Background of the Study
 This is the introduction of your research paper. This includes an
explanation of the area of your research to set context for the problem
at hand.
 This includes a related article in which you explain what previous studies
state about the topic, discuss recent developments on the topic, and
identify the gap in literature that has led to your study.
 You should also explain the problem that the study addresses and give a
brief account of the history of the problem mentioning whether it has
been addressed in any form before. This will lead up to the research
question and the aims of your study.
SAMPLE
DEVELOPMENT OF LPG QUICK LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM: RISK REDUCTION
DEVICE
Background of the Study
Introduction or general knowledge
In modern time issues of security can be very crucial. Crime and accidents
reported daily and people are encouraged to be cautious in whatever they
do. But what is more alarming are the reports of fires that were started
from explosions due to Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) leaks. Furthermore,
LPG cylinders are very commonly used in the household as a cooking gas
and also as fuel in motor vehicles. In spite of safety guidelines accidents may
always occur which are fatal.
Body of the article
According to Anchan (2015) LPG cylinders are something that most
people utilize to cook their meal. Based from the record of Bureau of fire
protection, there were twelve million LPG in the market that majority of the
consumer utilize. And the demand on LPG products are still increasing
despite of its unstable price hike. According to Nongon (2016) LPG is still a
widely used fuel commodity in the Philippines.
Arising problem
However, defective and substandard LPG cylinders are also rampant
in the business which pose greater risk on the safety of the public, as it is
considered as second leading causes of fire incident in the country. Sunay
and Jaiswal (2014) said that the defective cylinder valve in the knob of the
cylinder caused leaks and subsequent explosion; and by exerting a strong
force in turning the cylinder’s valve, it becomes “loose thread”, a condition
wherein leaks occur. Fire Superintendent Agono (2015) of Laguna stated
that LPG is considered as high hazard commodity.
Rationale of the researcher on conducting the study
Securing life and property from LPG leakage is so hard to determine.
Users should not wait for it to occur and prevention is more important in
securing both life and property. For these reasons the researchers plan to
 build a useful device that can help the users to detect gas leak in LPG
cylinder.

The aim of the researcher

This is why the researchers will develop a LPG Quick Leak Detection
System, a risk reduction device that meant to detect any gas leak from LPG
cylinder which will immediately alarm the user. Using this propose device
the LPG user can make immediate action that will prevent any fire incident
related to LPG leakage.
