ACTIVITY 2: SORT IT! (p.3)

Directions: Categorize the following words in the box. Write your answer in the table.

Categories

Sex Ordinal Numbers Sizes Blue-collar jobs White-collar jobs

Male First Small Nurse Teacher

Female Second Medium Engineer Doctor

Third Large

Discussion Questions:

◉ How do you feel while doing the activity?


➜ In doing this activity, I felt confused and determined to sort it out because I had to think of
the right words to put in the table to categorize each word given in the table.

◉ What are the categories you write on the table?


➜ I wrote five categories for each word to fill up, which are sex, ordinal numbers, sizes, blue-
collar jobs, and white-collar jobs.

◉ Do you think the words you write fit to the category?


➜ The words that I have categorized fit into their category because they simply state the basic
knowledge of their nature, such as small, medium, and large being a matter of size. 

◉ Are the words under each category can be counted?


➜ There is only one category that can be counted which, is the ordinal number.
◉ Are the words under each category can be the source of quantitative data?

➜ All the words under each category are all sources of quantitative data because they hold
information that can be gathered and would be the basis for calculating the number of
participants and what their field of interest would be.

ACTIVITY 3: Image Intensifier (p.4)

Think about this title of the reading material that you will soon read: Variables. What comes to
your mind upon hearing this word? Ask questions to express your curiosity about this word.

1. What do you mean by a variable? Is it a word of description or the amount of a number?

2. Does the variable represent the mathematical problem?

3. Is it related to computer knowledge or given data in a variable way?

4. Can variables be dependent or independent?

5. Does a variable being measured give data on the field of analysis that the researchers study?

ACTIVITY 4: Take it off (p.5)

VARIABLE QUANTITATIVE DATA

Awareness and participation of grade 11 and most of the respondents are 18 years old and
12 students above which is 46% of the sample

Verbal bullying

Female respondents 55% of the total sample

Academic and TVL tracks

Discussion Questions:
◉ What are the variables you found in the research report?
➜ The variables I have found in the research report are the awareness and participation of
grade 11 and 12 students, verbal bullying, female respondents, and academic and TVL tracks.
◉ What are the quantitative data under each variable?
➜ The quantitative data under each variable was that the participated respondent has a 46%
amount of 18 years old and above, so it means that 54% are 17 below. While in terms of
gender, females are the most respondents, which is 55% of the total sample, which means
basically 45% are males.

◉ What kind of variables you found in the research report?

➜ The kinds of variables that I found in the research sample were nominal, independent, and
dependent.

ACTIVITY 5: “On the Grid “ ( p.10)

Directions: Complete the grid by filling out each box with the definition, example, and uses of
each kind of variables.

ACTIVITY 6: TO WRAP IT UP (p. 11)

1. What is a variable?

➜ Variables are the things that are being measured to give data on the field of analysis that the
researchers study.

2. What is the difference between discreet and continuous variable?

➜ The discrete variables are being counted without a time frame while the continuous variable
is being measured in a given interval of time.

3. What are the different kinds of variable?

➜ There are five kinds of variables which are independent, dependent, intervening or meddling,
control, and confounding variable.

4. What is the importance of variables in choosing your research topic?

➜ In choosing my research topic, these variables will help me determine what factors I should
consider in creating research questions because they will define the relationship between each
factor that might influence it. 

5. Give at least 3 variables that can be used in research topic:

➜ The variables that I can use for my research topic would be independent and dependent
because they will tell the factors that would influence and be influenced by my research topic,
also the discrete variable will help me focus on the participants or the people that would be
included in my research.
