1. RESEARCH AGENDA AND INTRODUCTION TO MIXED METHODS

2. INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY (1/2 crosswise) Performance Task No. 1 Supply questions with the necessary information. Be honest with your assessment from your PR 2 as your response will of great help to your research. Something that I need to improve in my research(attitude, habit, resources) What will I do with this weakness? How can my teacher(school) help me with this weakness?

3. Combining Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods Formulation of a Research Title The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study. A good title contains the fewest possible words that adequately describe the contents and/or purpose of your research paper. The title presents the purpose of the research, the narrative tone of the paper and the methods used.

4. In Quantitative research, the title is direct to the point while in qualitative research, the researcher can play with words making it more dramatic . Qualitative Research Title Quantitative Research Title Into the World of Home-Based Working Students: A Compilation of Stories Motivations and Challenges of Home-Based Working Students Phenomenological Study of the Street Beggars in Tagbilaran City Begging in the City: Complexities, Degree of Organization, and Embedded Risks Experts Opinion on a Proposed Electrical Light Set-up for Indoor Plants Acceptability of the Proposed Electrical Light Set-up for Indoor Plants

5. B. Develop Survey Instruments (specific questions/items in the questionnaire) The researcher or group of researchers may conduct either a Key Informant Interview (KII) to a person who is an expert in the field of investigation using one or two experts or Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to at least four practitioners specifically identified because of their ranks and experiences and as much as possible represent each cluster or group to help identify areas for investigation (statement of the problem) or formulate specific questions for the investigation. A questionnaire was then produced based on the information collected.

6. Situation A: Ana is interested to study about the major issues and concern in the fish sanctuary. She made an appointment with the warden of the fish sanctuary. She then produced a questionnaire and returned for some corrections and verifications. Situation B. Carlo remembered eating a dish cooked by his late his grandmother and wanted to replicate the same recipe and possibly improve it. He contacted his aunts for an online conference about the family dish. Out of that conference, Carlo was able to produce the recipe for experimental purposes.

7. Activity 1: On a ½ sheet of paper, write two sample situations for each (similar to the examples) that would show the use of A. Key Informant Interview and B. Focus Group Discussion.

8. C. Identifying sample size. Both respondents in the quali and quanti part will be identified using a determined sampling method. For example, Slovin’s Formula is utilized when the researcher has no idea of the population’s behavior and a sample size is needed. For quali , a standard of selecting the probable respondents will be implemented.
