ADAGE OF RESEARCH? G.I.G.O. quantitative research or qualitative research
How will you identify if a study is quantitative or qualitative? Example 1: What teaching-learning modality produces better academic performance of 1 st year BSBA students during this time of the pandemic when face-to-face instruction is disallowed? 1. What is the academic performance of 1st year BSBA students exposed to the different teaching-learning modalities such as online, modular, and blended? 2. Are there significant differences in the academic performance of 1st year BSBA students among the three teaching-learning modalities? Working Title NOTE: A qualitative action research may be employed also but with emphasis on the teaching-learning processes and experiences. Assumptions: Done with the Systematic Review of Literature, TF & CF Statement of the Problem This study aims to determine which teaching-learning modalities will produce better academic performance. Specifically, it sought to answer the following sub-questions:
How will you identify if a study is quantitative or qualitative? Research Design Answer: Research Questions/Problem/SOP The research design is vouched with FRAMEWORKS Theoretical Framework Conceptual Framework Recall Example 1:

Statement of the Problem The main purpose of this study was to describe and explore the challenges encountered by Non-HUMSS graduates in the teacher education programs of Northern Quezon College, Incorporated. Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions. 1. How may the demographic profile of the respondents be described in terms of: 1.1. gender; 1.2. senior high school strand/track; 1.3. type of school graduated; 1.4. monthly family income; and 1.5. home environment? 2. What challenges do the respondents encounter as students of the teacher education programs (i.e. BEEd and BSEd) in terms of: 2.1. Academic adjustment; 2.2 Social adjustment; and 2.3 Emotional adjustment? 3. Is there a significant difference in the assessment of challenges encountered as students of the teacher education programs in terms of: 3.1. Academic adjustment; 3.2 Social adjustment; and 3.3 Emotional adjustment? 4. What implications can be drawn from the study for effective management of the New Teacher Education curriculum? Example 3: Survey Questionnaire Survey Questionnaire
This study aimed to describe the strategies implemented by the college math teachers in the new normal. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following sub-questions: How did the teachers cope up with the new normal classroom and what strategies have been implemented amid pandemic that is not yet their practice before? What the teachers think so far are the effective strategies they made so that quality of education is still at place despite of the pandemic situation? What are the issues and challenges the teachers encountered along the way and how they think they can improve them in the next normal? Example 4: Interview Guide Interview Guide Interview Guide
Workshop 1: Determination on the Type of Instrument Workshop Mechanics Review your Statement of the Problem. Is it already approved? If yes, then proceed to number 2. If not, then have it approved by the Statistics and Research Committee first. 2. Identify the type of instrument appropriate for the study. 3. Submit output to the Statistics and Research Committee after 20 minutes for approval.
Construction of Instrument A. Survey Questionnaire 1. Identify the number of parts that will be reflected in the SQ. (Reference: SOP) 2. Each part must begin with an INSTRUCTIONS . Part I. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY THE PUPILS Instructions: Listed below are statements that correspond to the problems that are possibly encountered by your child in modular distance learning. These are categorized problems based on the 4 categories namely: (1) technical problems; (2) resources management; (3) technological problems; (4) communication problems; Read the statements carefully and indicate your answer by putting a check (/) mark on the appropriate space. Do the assessment as objectively as you can. Refer to the rating scale below: 1 2 3 4 5 Not A Problem At All Rarely a Problem Occasionally a Problem Often a Problem Always a Problem PART II - PERSONAL PROFILE OF RESPONDENTS Direction: Kindly complete the following questions by writing or checking the appropriate space for each items.
Cont. of Construction of Instrument 3. Item Pooling * develop at least 12 items for each construct/variable. * ensure that the items are phrased that is answerable by your preferred verbal description, e.g. Strongly Agree (3), Agree (2), Disagree (1), Strongly Disagree, and Disagree (0) Very Effective (3), Effective (2), Not So Effective (1), Not Effective At All (0) * In deciding for the Verbal Descriptions (go back to your SOP) * Sources? (experience, reviews, collateral reading) 4. Finalize SQ by checking it against the SOP. Proofread.
Construction of Instrument B. Test Instrument 1. Identify the learning competencies that will be measured in the study (Reference: SOP-CG-Syllabus) 2. Decide on the period covered in the study. 3. If possible, use multiple choice type of assessment. True or False is also okay but discouraged. 4. At least 50 items test for multiple choice, and at least 20 items for True or False. Either purely multiple choice or a combination of the two types but not purely True or False. 5. Essay type is also okay but discouraged. However, if you wish to have essay, maximum of 2 items only with rubrics.
Construction of Instrument C. Interview Guide 1. Usually, questions found in the SOP are just rephrased to directly ask the participants (co-researchers) of the study. This study aimed to describe the strategies implemented by the college math teachers in the new normal. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following sub-questions: How did the teachers cope up with the new normal classroom and what strategies have been implemented amid pandemic that is not yet their practice before? What the teachers think so far are the effective strategies they made so that quality of education is still at place despite of the pandemic situation? What are the issues and challenges the teachers encountered along the way and how they think they can improve them in the next normal? Recall Example 4 Note: Separate file for the example. FN: MAED Math Interview Guide
Construction of Instrument D. Checklist/Documentary Analysis 1. Usually, questions found in the SOP are just rephrased to directly address to a specific office. Presented below are the suggested steps: Step 1: Make the purpose clear. Step 2: Define the scope of your data collection . Step 3: Design your sample. Step 4: Develop your data collection instrument . Step 5: Flowchart the procedure of collecting the data . Step 6: Pilot test the whole thing.
Workshop 2: Formulation of Research Instrument Workshop Mechanics Using the approved type of instrument to be used in your study, construct the research instrument to be used. 2. Submit output to the Statistics and Research Committee after 2 hours for approval.
Validation of Research Instrument A. Expert Validation and Content Validation B. Dry-Run C. Solve for Internal Consistency D. If reliable, then proceed to Administration of Research Instrument or Actual Data Gathering
Workshop 3: Dry-Run (May 26-30) Workshop Mechanics Finalize the research instrument. 2. Pilot-test to at least 20 respondents. 2. Tabulate Data and submit output in Excel format to the Statistician.
Workshop 4: Administration of Instrument (June 1-11) Workshop Mechanics Finalize the research instrument. 2. Pilot-test to at least 20 respondents. 2. Tabulate Data and submit output in Excel format to the Statistician.
Workshop 5: Data Interpretation and Analysis (June 14-18) Workshop Mechanics Tabulate data and submit output in Excel format to the assigned statistician. 2. Secure data presented in tabular form with one sample interpretation from the assigned statistician.
