INTRODUCTION:
Discussion of the chapter of their research paper the Review of the Related Literature.
MOTIVATION:
Read and examine an excerpt from a research study and answer the following questions.
1. What type of sampling technique did the researchers employ in their study? Explain

INSTRUCTION / DELIVERY:
Collection of Data
Survey
- descriptive type of research design that describes “what is” and doesn’t need an intervention.
Sample
- pertains to the representative of the population from which it was selected.
Population
- group of interest to the researcher
Whenever possible, the sample should be large. Different types of research design require s different
minimum number of samples. Generally, recommended for causal-comparative and correlational
research are at least 30 in each group, and 15 in experimental research.
Nonprobability sampling – also applied in some researches, particularly in social science researches.
1. Convenience sampling – use of the volunteers and existing groups
2. Judgment or purposive sampling – use of believed groups
3. Quota sampling – used of quota if not all members of the population can be used as a sample.
Research instruments – tools that measure variables in the study and designed to obtain data on a topic of

Face validation – refers to the structure and language used in the study
Item Analysis - statistical technique that measures the effectiveness of a research instrument
Difficulty index – pertains to the proportion of students who answered the test item correctly
Discrimination index – refers to how well an assessment differentiates between high scorers and low
scorers
Direct administration to a group – refers to administration of the research instruments to all members of
the group at the same time and most often at the same place.
Mail surveys – pertain to sending survey questionnaire to respondents via snail mail or e-mail that should
be returned on a given date.
ENRICHMENT:
What type of quantitative research design is applicable for the following research questions?
