NUSG 109Module 2
Discuss the following:
1. Sampling Design
This allows making inferences to indicate that the measurement obtained from a
small sample can be generalized to a larger population from which the sample has been
drawn. For instance, one is buying mangoes. He picks up one mango from a crate of
mangoes and tastes it. If the mango is sweet, then he concludes and says that the mangoes
in the crate are sweet although he has tasted only one mango.
2. Probability Sampling Design
In probability sampling design, the sample is a proportion (a certain percent) of
the population and such sample is selected from the population by means of some
systematic way in which every element of the population has a chance of being included
in the sample.
3. Non-Probability Sampling Design
In non-probability sampling design, the sample is not a proportion of the
population and there is no system in selecting the sample. The selection depends upon the
situation.

4. Differentiate Sample from Population
The word population refers to the groups or aggregates of people, animals,
objects, materials, happenings or things of any form. This means that there are
populations of students, teachers, supervisors, principals, laboratory animals, trees,
manufactured articles, birds, insects, and many others. Your concerns are the properties
descriptive of the group or aggregate rather than the properties of particular members.
If your interest is on the few members of the population to represent their
characteristics or traits, these members constitute a sample. The measures of the
population are called parameters, while those of the sample are called estimates or
statistics.
5. How will the Researcher Establish Validity and Reliability of an Instrument?
The following must be observed to make observation more valid and reliable:
a. Use observation where and when other data gathering devices cannot be used.
There are behavioral activities where only observation can be used for collecting
data. Examples are school subjects such as vocational education construction;
physical education, say running; music, say singing; dramatics, say acting;
speech, say oration; etc. In farming, the farmers may be observed in actual work
for some data.
b. Use appropriate observation forms. Use the checklist if every objective data are
to be gathered; the rating scale, if activities or things are to be evaluated or rated;
and the anecdotal record if the activity is a complex one and it has to be observed

in action. Use replayable mechanical devices for a more in-depth and accurate
analysis of the aspect of behavior observed.
c. Record immediately. The purpose of recording immediately what have been
observed is to insure that the things observed are recorded accurately. If things
observed are not recorded at once, distortions may occur in the recording and this
makes the data gathered inaccurate and unreliable. Forgetting sets in immediately
after an activity and the observer has to record first before he forgets.
d. Be as objective as possible. Record exactly what occurred and rate or evaluate the
person or activity observed without bias or preconception. The results of
observation and the study as a whole will be faulty if biases or stereotyped
conceptions are allowed to interfere in the evaluation.
e. Base evaluation on several observations. In science, the average of several
measurements or trials is generally used as a basis for a conclusion. This should
also be in observation. The average of several observations is admittedly more
accurate, valid, and reliable than the result from one observation alone.
6. What are the different types of Research Design?
a. Historical method. To reconstruct the past objectively and accurately, often in
relation to the tenability of a hypothesis.
b. Descriptive method. To describe systematically a situation or area of interest
factually and accurately.
c. Developmental method. To investigate patterns and sequences of growth and/or
change as a function of time.

d. Case and Field method. To study intensively the background, current status, and
environmental interactions of a given social unit: an individual, a group, an
institution, or a community.
e. Correlational method. To investigate the extent to which variations in one factor
correlate with variations in one or more other factors based on correlation
coefficient.
f. Causal-comparative or Ex post facto method. To investigate possible cause
and effect relationships by observing some existing consequence and looking
back through the data for plausible causal factors.
g. True experimental method. To investigate possible cause and effect relationships
by exposing one or more experimental groups to one or more treatment conditions
and comparing the results to one or more control groups not receiving the
treatment, random assignment being essential.
h. Quasi-experimental method. To approximate the conditions of the true
experiment in a setting which do not allow the control or manipulation of all
relevant variables. The researcher must clearly understand what compromises
exist in the internal and external validity of his design and proceed within these
limitations.
i. Action research. To develop new skills or new approaches and to solve problems
with direct application to the classroom or other applied setting.
7. What are the different types of Descriptive Research Design
a. The Survey. Survey, other known as Normative survey, is a fact finding study
with adequate and accurate interpretation. It is used to collect demographic data
-

5/11
about peoples behavior, practices, intentions, beliefs, attitudes, opinions,
judgements, interests, perceptions, and the like and then such data are analyzed
organized, and interpreted.
b. The Case Study. Case study is a comprehensive, complete, detailed, and in-depth
study and analysis of an individual, institution, group, or community, the aim of
which is to identify causal factors to some abnormality or deficiency and to find
and recommend a solution, a treatment, or developmental procedures.
c. Content Analysis. Content analysis as a research technique deals with
documentary materials that are already existing and available. It is a research
technique for the objective, systematic, and quantitative description of the
manifest content of communication. Since content analysis deals with
documentary materials, content analysis and documentary analysis is one and the
same thing.
8. What are the major types of Variables?
a. The Independent Variables. The Independent variables are the conditions or
characteristics the experimenter manipulates in his or her attempts to ascertain
their relationship to observed phenomena.
b. The Dependent Variables. The Dependent variables are the conditions or
characteristics that appear, disappear, or change that the experimenter introduces,
removes or changes independent variables.

9. What are the methods in gathering Research Data?
A. Clerical Tools. Clerical tools are used when the researcher studies people and gathers
data on the feelings, emotions, attitudes, and judgements of the subjects. Examples are
the following:
a. The Questionnaire Method. Is a set of questions which, when answered properly
by a required number of properly selected respondents, will supply the necessary
information to complete a research study. The questionnaire is commonly used in
behavioral research or social research.
b. The Interview Method. Is a purposeful face to face relationship between to
persons, one of whom called the interviewer who asks questions to gather
information and the other called the interviewee or the respondent who supplies
the information asked for.
c. The Empirical Observation Method. Is a perceiving data through the senses: sight,
hearing, taste, touch and smell. The sense of sight is the most used among the
senses. Observation is the most direct way and the most widely used in studying
behavior.
d. The Registration Method. Is a process of listing down items of the same kind in
some systematic manner for record purposes. Registered matter maybe classified
alphabetically, chronologically, qualitatively, quantitatively or otherwise.
e. The Testing Method. Is a specific type of measuring instrument whose general
characteristic is that, it forces responses from a pupils skill, knowledge, attitudes,
etc.

f. The Experimental Method. Is a highly controlled procedure in which manipulated
treatments or actions from a factor or condition, called the experimental or
independent variable, are applied upon another factor or condition, called the
dependent variable, to determine the effect of the former upon the latter, all other
factors or variables being kept constant or equal so that any change in the
dependent variable is attributable only to the experimental or independent
variable.
g. The Library method. The library is the main source of both conceptual and
0prepared to spend considerable amount of his time and effort in performing this
essential phase of research process.
B. Mechanical Devices. In clued almost all tools (such as microscopes, telescopes,
thermometers, rulers, and monitors) used in the physical sciences. In the social sciences
and nursing, mechanical devices include such equipment as tape recorders, cameras, film,
and video tape.
10. Differentiate a Subject of the Study from the Respondents of the Study.
Subjectarecertain types of people, families, social clubs, and the like who are actually
selected to participate in the study.
Respondents are all kinds of people, whether literate or illiterate, rich or poor, laborer or
capitalist, etc who can make replies to questions of an interview or questionnaires.
