A wrong choice of a design puts to risk the validity and the reliability of the study.

These are variables which affect the behavior or characteristics of the experimental subjects that you are investigating even though you are not concerned with these variables in the present study.

These are variables that take fractional values.

These are variables that assume fixed or exact amounts and have no values in between whole exact numbers.

It is the lowest level of measurement; It simply defines groups of the subjects.

The variables are not only given different names but they are also arranged according to the amount or quantity of the attribute or characteristic of the subjects.

Equal differences between the values of the measurements obtained

Similar to the interval scale in terms of the known spacing between the values along the scale

Conceptual framework is derived from empirical observation and intuition.

Conceptual framework is used as a guide to achieve your research objectives. It is important to follow certain procedure for accurate and better results.

A research plan identifies the subject of the study, the variables, the controls, the experimental and control groups, the instruments and devices to be used, and the statistical tests to be used to analyze the data.

In the Significance of the Study, the minimum beneficiaries are seven. The last two should be “students” and “future researchers.

If your one of your beneficiaries include an organization, you must state the whole name (Ex. Department of Health). In the further sentences, state its acronym (Ex. DOH will benefit…)

The use of an appropriate design maximizes the occurrence of error in the conduct of the study and in the conclusions drawn from the study.

There are shortcomings, conditions, or influences that cannot be controlled by the researcher

The conceptual framework represents less formal structure and is used for studies in which existing theory is inapplicable or insufficient.
