Descriptive Research
Definition A research design used to obtain information concerning the current status or phenomena
PurposeTo describe the current state of affairs at the time of the study.
General steps in conducting descriptive studies
1. Stating the problem.2. Identifying the information needed to solve the problem.3. Selecting or developing the instrument for collecting data.4. Identifying the target population and determination of any necessary sampling procedure.5. Designing the procedure for data collection.6. Collecting the data.7. Analyzing the data.8. Preparing the report.
Descriptive Research
Some studies that can be classified as descriptive research
survey case study developmental studies follow-up studies documentary analysis trend analysis correlation studies.
Descriptive Research
Descriptive Research Survey researchSurvey research is used to study directly the characteristic of populations through the use of surveys.
Advantages • It allows the researcher to get a very broad picture of whatever is being studied• It is efficient in that the data collection part of the study is finished after one contact is made with respondents and the information is collected• If it is done properly and with minimal sampling error, surveys can yield remarkably accurate results.
Weaknesses • It can be the sources of bias, whether interviewer bias or interviewee bias• Sometimes people do not respond, as in the case of a mail survey.
Descriptive Research
Case studyCase study is a method used to study an individual or an institution in a unique setting or situation in as intense and as detailed a manner as possible.
Advantages• It allows for very close examination and scrutiny and the collection of detailed data. It encourages the use of several different technique to get the necessary information ranging from personal observations to interviews of others who might know the focus of the case study. • No other way to get a richer account of what is occurring than through a case study.• It suggests directions for further study.
Descriptive Research
Case study
Weaknesses
• What the researchers see is not always what they get.• The notes the researchers record in their journal may accurately
reflect reality or what they observe, but they may not.• What case studies provide in depth, they lose in breadth• We may not even think about trying to establish any cause-and-effect
links between what we see and what we think might be responsible for the outcomes,
• The generalizability of the findings is limited.
Descriptive Research
Developmental ResearchDevelopmental research is a method to examine changes over time.
Two methods of Developmental research1. Longitudinal method , The same sample of subjects is studied over an extended period of time.
2. Cross-sectional method. To study subjects of various age levels at the same point in time.
Descriptive Research
Follow-up StudiesThis is almost same with the longitudinal method. It is
conducted to evaluate some programs that have been conducted.
Documentary AnalysesDocumentary analyses are studying some documents for
some purposes. It is not only content analyses but also can be sociological study and psychological variables and others.
Descriptive Research
Trend AnalysesTrend analyses are conducted to predict something that will happen in the
future. The trend it self can be known from documentary analyses or surveys repeated at intervals which than possible the researchers to find the rate and direction of changes.
Correlational studiesThese studies are focus on determining the extent of relationship existing
between variables. They are conducted to measure the variation in a variable by associating it with the variation in the other variable. These studies are classified in the descriptive studies if the purpose is to describe relationship or to generate hypotheses and as ex post facto studies if hypothesis testing is the focus.
Measures of Central Tendency
Central tendency provides a single index to represent the average value of a whole set of measures.
Three kinds of central tendency Mode Median Mean.
Measures of Central Tendency
ModeDefinition The most frequently value occurs.

Measures of Central Tendency
Median Definition The middle score in a distribution.

Measures of Variability
X
Measure of variability tells us how spread out a group of scores are. The functions of the measure of variability: To know weather or not the mean is representative. For example:
The mean of teachers’ salary = Rp. 120.000,00Of course this mean is not representative because there are 4 teachers who have
salary under the mean. It is because the data is very heterogeneous. It helps the researcher in using statistic measurement in testing the hypothesis.
Weather or not the sample comes fromk the same population.
Teacher Salary (Rp)
A 40000
B 50000
C 55000
D 65000

Four kinds of Measure of variability Range Quartile deviation Variance Standard deviation.
Measures of VariabilityRangeThe range gives the distance between the highest and the lowest values in a
distribution.
Formula
R = the range= the highest value in a distribution= the lowest value in distribution.
Example2 4 6 7 8 9
So, R= 9 – 2 R= 7

Quartile DeviationQuartile Deviation (QD) gives the half-distance between the upper (Q3) and lower
quartiles (Q1).

Measures of Variability
Variance Variance is the mean of the squared deviation scores.
Formula

σ2 =the variance∑ = the sum ofr = the deviation of each score from the mean (X- X ) otherwise known as the deviation score.N = the number of case in the distribution.

of values from the mean.
