What’s In
In your previous lesson, we talk about the conceptual framework of the study, and how
you write definition of terms used in the study, write a research hypotheses and presents
review of related literature and conceptual framework.
Let’s have a quick review!
A conceptual framework is an analytical tool with many variations and contexts. Its
accustomed creates conceptual distinctions and organize ideas while in definition of terms,
it is typically an annex to a piece (book, research paper, pamphlet, etc.) either at the start
or more likely nears the top with an inventory of acronyms, jargon, credits, etc. There are
three ways in writing definition of terms: conceptual definition, operational definition and
functions definition.
Hypothesis is a specific statement of prediction. It describes in concrete (rather
than theoretical) terms what you expect will happen in your study. Not all studies have
hypotheses. There are two categories of hypothesis; null hypotheses and alternative
hypotheses.
A literature review is quite the rummage around for info, and goes on the far side
being a descriptive annotated list. All works enclosed within the review should be scan,
evaluated associate degree analysed (which you'd do for an annotated bibliography),
however relationships between the literatures should even be known and articulated, in
relation to your field of research.

2. Experimental Research
Though questions may be posed in the other forms of research,
experimental research is guided specifically by a hypothesis. Sometimes
experimental research can have several hypotheses. A hypothesis is a statement to
be proven or disproved. Once that statement is made experiments are begun to find
out whether the statement is true or not.
Quasi-experimental Research - Design involves selecting groups, upon which a
variable is tested without any random pre-selection process. For example, to
perform an educational experiment, a class might be arbitrarily divided by
alphabetical selection or by seating arrangement. The division is often
convenient especially in an educational situations cause a little disruption as
possible.
True Experimental Design - According to Yolanda Williams (2015) that a true
experiment is a type of experimental design and is thought to be the most
accurate type of experimental research. This is because a true experiment
supports or refutes a hypothesis using statistical analysis. A true experiment is
also thought to be the only experimental design that can establish cause and
effect relationships. So, what makes a true experiment? There are three criteria
that must be met in a true experiment
1. Control group and experimental group;
2. Researcher-manipulated variable; and random assignment.
Sampling
Sampling, in research is a word that refers to the method or procedure of choosing
respondents to answer the question. According to Paris (2013) the bigger group from
where you choose the sample is called population, and sampling frame is the term used to
mean the list of the members of such population from where you will get the sample.
Probability sampling or Unbiased Sampling
Probability Sampling. In this kind of sampling you are required to have a list of
your target respondents focused on your study. An equal chance of participation in the
sampling or selection process given to every member listed in the sampling frame. As a
researcher you remember that the smaller the sample is, the higher chance of sampling
error. Therefore, the bigger number of respondents will avoid sample errors. Hence,
12
sample error yields if the selection does not take place in the way it is planned by the
researcher.
Types of Probability Sampling
1. Simple Random sampling – This type of probability sampling use a pure chance
selection process. Have a list of all members of the respondents, write each name
on the card, the researcher choose cards through a pure chance selection.
2. Systematic Sampling - Instead of using a list of random numbers, researcher
calculates a sampling interval, and the interval becomes his or her own quasi
random selection method. In order for you to solve the interval, you can think of
the sample interval as the inverse of the sampling ration. The sampling ratio for
150 names out of 1,500 will be 150/1,500 = 0.1 x 100 = 10 %. The sampling
interval is 1,500/150 = 10
3. Stratified Random Sampling – the group comprising the sample is chosen in a
ways that such group is liable to subdivision during the data analysis stage. A study
needing group-by-group analysis finds stratified sampling is the right probability
sampling to be used.
4. Cluster Sampling - The purpose of cluster sampling is to sample economically
while retaining the characteristics of a probability sampling. For example, if the
researcher tends to have a sample of 150 out of 1,000 students in their school, the
researcher can randomly select at least three sections with 50 students to represent
the sample.

What is It
Instrument Development
Developing a research instruments
Before the researchers collect any data from the respondents, the young
researchers will need to design or devised new research instruments or they may adopt it
into the other researches (the tools they will use to collect the data).
If the researcher/s is planning to carry out interviews or focus groups, the young
researchers will need to plan an interview schedule or topic guide. This is a list of
questions or topic areas that all the interviewers will use.
Asking everyone the same questions means that the data you collect will be much
more focused and easier to analyse. If the group wants to carry out a survey, the young
researchers will need to design a questionnaire. This could be on paper or online (using
free software such as Survey Monkey or google forms).
Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. If the group is collecting
data from more than one type of person (such as young people and teachers, for example),
it may well need to design more than one interview schedule or questionnaire.
When designing the research instruments ensure that:
1. They start with a statement about the research topic.
19
2. The focus and aims of the research project.
3. How the person„s data will be used (to feed into a report)
4. Confidentiality
5. How long the interview or survey will take to complete.
6. Usage of appropriate language.
7. Every question must be brief and concise.
8. Any questionnaires use appropriate scales. (For young people smiley face scales can
work well.)
TAKE NOTE!
Any questionnaires raise individuals for any relevant information regarding
themselves, like their gender or age, if relevant. Don„t ask for so much detail that it would
be possible to identify individuals though, if you have said that the survey will be
anonymous.
The Instrument
Instrument is that the generic term that researchers use for a measurement device
(survey, test, form, etc.). To help distinguish between instrument and instrumentation,
contemplate to that the instrument is that the device and instrumentation is that the course
of action (the method of developing, testing, and victimization the device).
Researcher-Completed Instruments Subject-Completed Instruments
Rating scales Questionnaires
Interview schedules/guides Self-checklists
Tally sheets Attitude scales
Flowcharts Personality inventories
Performance checklists Achievement/aptitude tests
Time-and-motion logs Projective devices
Observation forms Sociometric devices
Validity
Validity is the extent to which an instrument measures what it is supposed to measure and
performs as it is designed to perform. It is rare, if nearly impossible, that an instrument be
100% valid, so validity is generally measured in degrees. As a process, validation involves
collecting and analyzing data to assess the accuracy of an instrument. There are numerous
statistical tests and measures to assess the validity of quantitative instruments, which
20
generally involves pilot testing. The remainder of this discussion focuses on external
validity and content validity.
External validity is the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized from a
sample to a population. Establishing eternal validity for an instrument, then, follows
directly from sampling. Recall that a sample should be an accurate representation of a
population, because the total population may not be available. An instrument that is
externally valid helps obtain population generalizability, or the degree to which a sample
represents the population.
Content validity refers to the appropriateness of the content of an instrument. In other
words, do the measures (questions, observation logs, etc.) accurately assess what you want
to know? This is particularly important with achievement tests. Consider that a test
developer wants to maximize the validity of a unit test for 7th grade mathematics. This
would involve taking representative questions from each of the sections of the unit and
evaluating them against the desired outcomes.
Reliability
Reliability can be thought of as consistency. Does the instrument consistently measure what
it is intended to measure? It is not possible to calculate reliability; however, there are four
general estimators that you may encounter in reading research:
3. Parallel-Forms Reliability: The reliability of two tests constructed the same way,
from the same content.

What is It
Methods of Data Collection
Data Collection is of the most important feature of any kind of research study.
Inaccurate data collection can affect the results of a study and eventually lead to
unacceptable results. Data collection methods for effect evaluation vary along a range. At
the one end of this range are quantitative methods and at the other end of the range are
Qualitative methods for data collection.
In this case, Quantitative research or survey research, interviews are more
organized than in Qualitative research. In support to this idea, according to Leedy and
Ormrod (2001) that in structure interview, the young researcher asks a standard set of
questions and nevertheless.
Types of Data and its Methods of Data Collection
a. Primary Data – those data are collected a fresh and the first time and thus happen to
be original in character and known as Primary data.
b. Secondary Data – those data are collected by someone else and which already
passed through the statistical process is known as Secondary data.
Survey Questionnaire
A survey is a quantitative method whereby a researcher poses some set of predetermined
questions to an entire group, or sample, of individuals. This methodology may additionally
be used as the simplest way of quickly gaining some general details regarding one‟s
population of interest to assist harden an additional centred, in-depth study using time-
intensive ways like in-depth interviews or field analysis. In this case, a survey might
facilitate a man of science determine specific people or locations from that to gather extra
knowledge.
In quantitative data analysis the researcher are expected to make the raw numbers
into a significant data through the application of rational and critical thinking. In this case,
the quantitative data analysis may contain the calculation of differences between variables
and frequencies of variables. Therefore, a quantitative approach is usually related with
finding an evidence to either support or reject the hypotheses you have formulated at the
previous stages of your research process.
Likert Scale
According to McLeod (2019), there are different kinds of a rating scale have been
developed to measure attitudes directly (i.e. the person knows their attitude is being
studied). It is utmost widely used in research study is the Likert scale (1932). In its
concluding method, the Likert scale is a five (or seven) point scale which is used to allow
the individual to express how much they agree or disagree with a particular statement.
Example: I believe that ecological questions are the most important issues facing human
beings today.
Example:
5 point Likert scale
Example: The following ranges of values, statistical limits, describe using the average
weighted mean and it is interpreted with the following:
Mean Scale Range Descriptive Rating
3 2.34- 3.00 Very serious (VS)
2 1.67- 2.33 Moderately Serious (MS)
1 1.00- 1.66 Very Serious (NS)
The Formula in order for you to get the percentage frequency distribution:
P= F × 100
N
Where:
P= percentage
F= frequency
N= total number or respondents
31
T-test
This will be done through the use of Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS). If
you are trying to test the significant difference between the means of two groups, T-test is
use in this kind of data analysis and the researcher specify the level of probability (alpha
level, level of significance, p) we are willing to accept before we collect data (p < .05 is a
common value that is used).
In the general rule of interpreting the t-test result, if the result is lower than the set level of
(0.05) level of significance therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted means that there is no
significant difference between two the groups and the alternative hypothesis is rejected.
But if the result is higher than the set level of significance (0.05), the interpretation will be
there is a significant difference between the two groups and therefore, the alternative
hypothesis is accepted and rejects the null hypothesis.
Pearson Correlation
In this kind of data analysis, the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) will use.
Pearson correlation is also known as the “Product moment correlation coefficient” or
simply “correlation”. If the researcher wants to inspect or to check the relationship of the
two variables, Pearson Correlations is commonly used to test the relationship.
In the general rule of interpreting the t-test result, if the result is lower than the set level of
(0.05) level of relationship therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted means that there is no
relationship between two variables and the alternative hypothesis is rejected. But if the
result is higher than the set level of relationship (0.05), the interpretation will be there is a
relationship between the two variables and therefore, the alternative hypothesis is accepted
and rejects the null hypothesis.
ANOVA
ANOVA is a set of statistical methods used mainly to compare the means of two or more
samples. Estimates of variance are the key intermediate statistics calculated, hence the
reference to variance in the title ANOVA. The different types of ANOVA reflect the
different experimental designs and situations for which they have been developed.
32
Excellent accounts of ANOVA are given by Armitage & Berry (1994) and Kleinbaum et.
al (1998). Nonparametric alternatives to ANOVA are discussed by Conover (1999) and
Hollander and Wolfe (1999).
