Be recognized. In the next five minutes, your group must be
able to accomplish the following:
Establishing group identities
 Set a group name;
 Assign individual roles (LMNOP scheme)
L (Process Leader)
M (Materials Manager)
N (Note-takers)
OP (Output Presenters)
 Compose the group’s “battle cry” which will
be incorporated in all activities to come.

END GOAL: Develop a sample research expected from a group of SHS students.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
-aims to gather more information on certain
characteristics within a particular field.

-uses interviews, questionnaires and sampling

polls to get a sense of behavior with intense
precision

-usually expressed as frequency count or a

percentage
 CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH
-test for the association between two
variables

-used to investigate the direction and magnitude of

relationships among variables in a particular
population (+/-)

Ex. Relationship of stress and depression

CAUSAL - COMPARATIVE RESEARCH

-looks to uncover cause and effect

relationship

-also called quasi-experimental research

-tries to identify how the different groups

are affected by the same circumstance
 EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

-guided specifically by hypothesis

-bedrock of most sciences
