Lesson
What’s In
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic crisis, many are easily hook into sharing and
believing fake news without processing and verifying the source. Daily figures of these cases
are also gradually changing, creating misinformation and fear. People are anxious about what
is happening and tensions are inevitable due to security and health threats. Therefore, reliable
sources of data and information are highly needed. The fundamental questions to ask are:
What is data? Why researchers collect data? How is data collected? Who needs the collected
data?
All of these questions, and many more can be answered through data collection. As
taught in the previous lesson, a researcher begins by identifying the research problem. Once
the data gathering procedure has been implemented and data has been gathered, the next
thing to do is to analyze and interpret them. Data is obtained with the aid of data collection
instruments which will be the focus in this lesson.
Collecting data is the first step you need to perform before you proceed in writing your
data analysis and interpretation. Data Collection involves obtaining relevant information
regarding the specified research questions or objectives. This can be done by utilizing
research instruments that are either developed or adopted. In collecting the data, the
researcher must decide on the following questions: (1) Which data to collect? (2) How to
collect the data? (3) Who will collect the data? (4) When to collect the data? (Barrot, 2018,
p138).
When developing and utilizing a research instrument, the following steps are to be
considered:
1. Be clear with your research question.
2. Plan how you will conduct the data collection.
3. Use appropriate research instruments.
4. Collect, tabulate, tally, and analyze the data.
5. Verify the validity and reliability of the collected data.
6. Present your findings.
1
What’s New
Look at the different kinds of research instruments. Check all that seem helpful in
answering your research questions. You may choose more than one.
What Is It
Research Instruments
Questionnaires
2
There are three structures of making a questionnaire. The first, structured
questionnaires employ closed-ended questions. Unstructured questionnaires, on the
other hand, use open-ended questions in which the research participants can freely answer
and put his thoughts into it. Lastly, semi-structured questionnaires are combinations of both
the structured and unstructured ones. Structured type is commonly used in quantitative
studies because it is easier to code, interpret objectively, and, most of all, easier to
standardize.
3
12. If possible, schedule an appointment before distributing the questionnaires.
13. Attach a cover letter to the questionnaire especially for agency connected
respondents.
14. Make a follow-up on the participants who did not to return the questionnaire.
15. Tally and encode the data immediately once you have collected them and archive
them digitally.
Tests
Tests are used for assessing various skills and types of behavior as well as for
describing some characteristics. There are two types of test used in quantitative research:
Standardized test and Non-standardized test.
Standardized test is scored uniformly across different areas and groups. It is usually
administered by institutions to assess a wide range of groups such as students and test-takers.
It is considered as more reliable and valid. Examples are Achievement test, University
Entrance Exam, Personality Tests, and the likes.
1. Recall Questions. It requires participants to retrieve information from memory (e.g. fill-
in-the blank test, identification test, enumeration test, etc.)
2. Recognition Questions. It provides respondents to select from given choices the best
or correct choice (e.g. multiple-choice test, true or false test, yes or no test, etc.)
3. Open-ended Questions. It allows the respondents more freedom in their responses,
expressing their thoughts and insights (e.g. essay writing tests and other performance-
based tests.

Observation
Observation allows the researcher to observe the actual event or phenomenon. It has
greater flexibility in the observation method. However, observation may lack participant validity
and may be prone to the Hawthorne effect phenomenon. Furthermore, it is more exhausting
and time-consuming especially when observations need to be conducted for many years).

Lesson
Data Presentation and
2 Interpretation
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you were presented with options as to how you will gather your
data. Once the data are collected, you need to encode and organized them for systematic
purposes. This will be the focused of this lesson. In this process, you will need to edit, code,
tabulate and summarize information through graphs and tables for presentation and
interpretation purposes. The process also allows the removal of unnecessary information.
Data presentation and analysis is one of the most essential part in your research study.
An excellent data presentation can be potential for winning the hearts of the panelists, clients,
or simply the readers. No matter how good your data, if it is not well presented, you will not be
able to earn the preferences of those whom you are trying to persuade. Good data
presentation matters.
The following are the significant steps you need to take note in preparing and writing
your data analysis after gathering the data:
(1) encode and organize your data for analysis according to the data asked by your
research questions;
(2) use your data for statistical tests you have identified in Module 4. You may ask
assistance from your statistics and research teacher;
(3) present the result in tabular or graphical form appropriate for your data and
research purpose;
(4) write the interpretation for each table or graph highlighting the significant results
and its implications;
(5) support your findings from relevant literature and studies you have cited in the
Chapter 2 of your research paper; and
(6) edit the grammatical and typographical errors in your interpretation. You may use
www.grammarly.com to edit your work.
(7) Submit your work using the format given to you. Remember the institutional format
of your school.
Remember to organize your data based on your research questions. The data
processing involves three actions: editing, coding, and tabulation.
Editing is a process wherein the collected data are checked. At this stage, handling
data with honesty should be employed. When you edit it is expected that you will not change,
omit, or makeup information if you think that the data you collected is insufficient or does not
16
meet your personal expectations. The main purpose of editing is for checking the consistency,
accuracy, organization, and clarity of the data collected. Data editing can be done manually
like traditional tallying or with the assistance of a computer or combination of both.
Coding is a process wherein the collected data are categorized and organized. It is
usually done in qualitative research. In quantitative research, coding is done to assign
numerical value to specific indicator especially if it is qualitative in nature. This numerical value
will be useful when you are going to analyze your data using statistical tool. Just make sure
that the categories created are aligned with your research questions. Consider the following
example.
Student's Sleepy – 1
Lack of Tired – 2
Motivation Bored – 3

What Is It
In quantitative research, tables and graphs are usually used. Standard format in
presenting the data into a table or a graph like its title, labels, contents, and many more can
be followed as well when school institutional format is not provided or identified. You may visit
APA, CMOS, or MLA on how to do so.
Tables
Table helps summarize and categorize data using columns and rows. It contains
headings that indicate the most important information about your study.
Sample 1

Cont.
Table 1 shows the summary of the overall adjectival rating in frequency and percentage of
students in their pretest in Pre-calculus at Gulayan National High School for S.Y. 2019-2020.
Results reveal that 66% of the students have satisfactory rating. Only 5% have outstanding rating.
Overall, the data showed that the students at Gulayan National High School have fair ratings based
on their pretest scores. This implies that most of the students do not have prior mastery on the
concepts of this subject. Hence, teacher is expected to apply teaching strategies that will increase
students’ concepts of the subject. This result is supported by Ignacio (2016) that pretest scores
especially if it is valid and reliable shows prior knowledge of the learners of the subject matter.
Sample 2
Looking at Table 4, there is a significant relationship between the classroom interaction that
facilitates positive discipline and sense belonging (r(39 = .973, p = 0.000). The feeling of being safe
and welcome in school is significantly related to how the teachers manage classroom interaction.
This result is supported by the early studies on classroom management by Brophy and Avertson
(1976) that though variety of teaching behaviors affect effective teaching; classroom management
appeared to be one of the most critical aspects as viewed by students.
Table 3. Correlation Analysis of Positive Discipline and Sense of Belonging
Graphs
Graphs focuses on how a change in one variable relates to another. Graphs use bars,
lines, circles, and pictures in representing the data. In interpreting the graph, it is the same
process in table. In choosing what type of graph to use, determine the specific purpose of the
presentation. Line Graph illustrates trends and changes in data over time, Bar Graph
illustrates comparisons of amounts and quantities, while Pie Graph (Circle Graph) displays
the relationship of parts to a whole.

Cont.
Figure 1 shows the canteen lunch menu of GRSHS-X. The graph reveals that rice is highly
patronized by the students and teachers with 150 cups sold daily. It can also be noted that pork and
chicken menus have a good number of buyers (315 serve/pieces). Vegetable menus cannot be
undervalued since several consumers (135 serve/pieces) also patronized the food. At the same
time, seafood menus earn the last spot (50 serve/pieces sold). Generally, students and faculty of
GRSHS-X preferred meat (pork and chicken) menus next to rice.
Figure 2. Students Quarterly Average Grade by Sections in Elective Mathematics (S.Y. 2019-2020
Figure 2 showed changes in the average grade of Elective Mathematics between Grade 10-
Max and Grade 10-Min from the first quarter to the fourth quarter for S.Y. 2019-2020. From the graph,
it is evident that both sections are performing well, but Grade 10-Max managed to maintain consistently
its high performance than Grade 10-Min every quarter. During the second quarter, there is a noticeably
far difference between the two sections. Overall, Grade 10-Max gained a better performance in Elective
Mathematics than Grade 10-Min.
21
Cont.
Figure 3 showed the result of the survey conducted to Grade 7 students when asked about
their dream job. From the graph, forty percent (40%) and thirty percent (30) of the participants
wanted to become a doctor and an engineer, respectively with just thirty percent (30%) left for other
professions. Only about five percent (5%) wanted to become a teacher. From the data, more than
70% of the Grade 7 students will likely pursue STEM strand courses when they graduate in high
school.

Lesson
Using Statistical Techniques
3 to Analyze Data
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you were presented with options on how to present and
analyze your data through tables and graphs. As mentioned previously, data analysis
goes hand in hand with data presentation and is considered a time-consuming task
because it involves a series of investigations, classifications, mathematical
calculations, and graphical recording, among others.
You are fully aware that planning your research study is needed. Thus, it is
assumed that when you begin your research study, you have already identified the
scale of measurement to use in your research study. Comprehensive statistical
analysis is important before making conclusions about your study.
Statistical methods and techniques were already discussed in the previous modules.
Sample Size Determination was also introduced in Module 4, Lesson 2. This lesson will
discuss deeply the five most useful statistical techniques specifically in quantitative research:
Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, Correlation, Regression, and Hypothesis Testing.
The computational procedure for hypothesis testing (Chapter 3) will also be shown in
this lesson because this is where your decision-making skill will be tested. You will investigate
and evaluate the claims about your study before writing your conclusions.
What’s New
Directions: Look at the table below. Check your level of conceptual knowledge and
computational skills of these statistical techniques.

One need to get the range from which the mean of a five-point Likert can be interpreted.
There are two methods to do this, if we treat the Likert scale as interval/ratio. First, the usual
way is to calculate the interval by computing the range (e.g. 5 − 1 = 4), then divided it by the
maximum value (e.g. 4 ÷ 5 = 0.80). Ultimately, we get the following result:
From 1 to 1.80 represents (strongly disagree).
From 1.81 to 2.60 represents (do not agree).
From 2.61 to 3.40 represents (true to some extent).
From 3:41 to 4:20 represents (agree).
From 4:21 to 5:00 represents (strongly agree).
The other way is to treat the selection as the range themselves, and so we get these
results:
From 0.01 to 1.00 is (strongly disagree);
From 1.01 to 2.00 is (disagree);
From 2.01 to 3.00 is (neutral);
From 3.01 to 4:00 is (agree);
From 4.01 to 5.00 is (strongly agree)

4. Correlation Analysis (Pearson’s r) is a statistical method used to estimate the strength of
relationship between two quantitative variables.
Example:
Here’s a data of five students with their corresponding grade in Math (Independent Variable)
and grade in English (Dependent Variable). Is there a significant relationship between the
grade in Math and the grade in English?
Step 2. From the table of values, there is a strong positive correlation between the grade in
Math and the grade in English.
5. Regression Analysis is can be used to explain the relationship between dependent and
independent variables.
Formula: 𝑌 = 𝑚𝑋 + 𝑏
(∑ 𝑦)(∑ 𝑥 2 )−(∑ 𝑥)(∑ 𝑥𝑦) 𝑛(∑ 𝑥𝑦)−(∑ 𝑥)(∑ 𝑦)
𝑏= 𝑚=
𝑛(∑ 𝑥 2 )−(∑ 𝑥)2 𝑛(∑ 𝑥 2 )−(∑ 𝑥)2
Example:
Using the same data from Table 3, answer the following questions:
a. What linear equation best predicts the grade in English given the grade in Math?
According to this model, for every 1point increase in the Math grade, there is a
corresponding average increase of 1 point in the English grade.
Interpretation:
The Math grade is directly proportional to the English grade because the slope
is positive.
6. Hypothesis testing. A hypothesis test helps you determine some quantity under a given
assumption. The outcome of the test tells you whether the assumption holds or whether the
assumption has been violated.
From Module 3, you were exposed to creating your Null hypothesis (𝑯𝟎 ) which states
that there is no difference between the two values or variables and the Alternative
hypothesis (𝑯𝟏 ) which states that there is a difference between two values or variables.
The statistical test uses the data obtained from a sample to decide about whether the
null hypothesis should be rejected. In a one-tailed test (left-tailed or right-tailed test),
when the test value falls in the critical region on one side of the mean, the null hypothesis
should be rejected.
On the other hand, in a two-tailed test, the null hypothesis should be rejected when
the test value falls in either of the two critical regions.
To perform hypothesis testing, you compute the mean from the sample and compare
it with the mean from the population. Then, you decide whether to reject or not reject the
31
null hypothesis. If the difference is significant, the null hypothesis is rejected. If the
difference is not significant, then the null hypothesis is not rejected. In the hypothesis-
testing, there are four possible results.
𝐻0 true 𝐻0 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑒
Hypothesis testing can be done using the following t-value approach or critical value
approach and 𝑝-value approach.
1. The Critical Value Approach is used to determine whether the observed test statistic is more
extreme than a defined critical value. Hence, the observed test statistic (calculated on the basis
of sample data) is compared to the critical value, from t-table. If the test statistic (𝒕∗ ) is more
extreme than the critical value (t), the null hypothesis is rejected. If the test statistic is not as
extreme as the critical value, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

One-Sample t-test Formula: ∗

Example:
A random sample of 10 Grade 7 students has grades in Math, where marks range from
90 (Good) to 98 (Excellent). The general average grade (Gen. Ave.) of all Grade 7 students
as of the last 5 years is 93. Is the Gen. Ave. of the 10 Grade 7 students different from the
population’s Gen. Ave? Use 0.05 level of significance.
Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Math Grade 90 98 97 93 94 91 97 93 93 94
32
Computational Procedure:
1. Define the Null and Alternative Hypothesis
𝐻0 : There is no significant difference between the gen. ave. of 10 Grade 7 students
from the population’s gen. average of 93.
𝐻0 : 𝜇 = 93
𝐻1 : There is a significant difference between the gen. ave. of 10 Grade 7 students from
the population’s gen. average of 93.
𝐻1 : 𝜇 ≠ 93
2. State the alpha and the degree of freedom.
𝛼 = 0.05
𝐷𝑓 = 𝑛 − 1 = 10 − 1 = 9
3. State the decision rule.
One-tailed Test: |𝑡| > 𝑧𝑎 ; Reject 𝐻0
𝑧
Two-tailed Test: |𝑡| > 𝑎 ; Reject 𝐻0

4. Calculate the Test Statistic.

5. State results (use t table to get the critical value, see procedure below).

𝑛−1 10−1
|1.18| < 2.262
6. Decision: Accept 𝐻0
7. Conclusion: Therefore, the average grade of 10 Grade 7 students is not different from
the population’s average grade in Math which is 93.
2. P-value Approach involves determining the probability (assuming the null hypothesis were
true) of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis
than the one observed. If the P-value is less than (or equal to) 𝛼 then the null hypothesis is
rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. And, if the P-value is greater than 𝛼, then the
null hypothesis is not rejected.
Example:
Use the same data from Example 1 of Critical value approach:
Computational Procedure:
1. Define the Null and Alternative Hypothesis
𝐻0 : There is no significant difference between the gen. ave. of 10 Grade 7 students
from the population’s gen. average of 93.
𝐻0 : 𝜇 = 93
𝐻1 : There is a significant difference between the gen. ave. of 10 Grade 7 students from
the population’s gen. average of 93.
𝐻1 : 𝜇 ≠ 93
2. State the alpha and the degree of freedom.
𝛼 = 0.05
𝐷𝑓 = 𝑛 − 1 = 10 − 1 = 9
3. State the decision rule.
One-tailed Test: |𝑡| > 𝑧𝑎 ; Reject 𝐻0
𝑧
Two-tailed Test: |𝑡| > 𝑎 ; Reject 𝐻0

4. Calculate the Test Statistic.
𝑋̅ −𝜇0 94−93
𝑡= 𝑠 = 2.68 =1.18
√𝑛 √10
5. Use statistical software or an online calculator (https://www.statology.org/t-score-p-value-
calculator/) to find the corresponding p-value.
One-tailed P-value: 0.13412
Two-tailed P-value: 0.26825
33
6. State results.
One-tailed |0.13412| > 0.05
Two-tailed |0.26825| > 0.05
7. Decision: Accept 𝐻0
Since this p-value is not less than our chosen alpha level of 0.05, we can’t reject the
null hypothesis.
8. Conclusion: Therefore, the average grade of 10 Grade 7 students is not different from
the population’s average grade in Math which is 93.
Here are the steps in finding the t-value or critical value at the t-table:
1. Locate your confidence level (alpha level) at the top row of the t-table found below
(this tells you which column you need).
2. Intersect this column with the row for your 𝑑𝑓 (degrees of freedom). The number you
see is the critical value (or the t-value) for your confidence interval.
