Historical Design
- The study is focused on the past (what was).
- It is a scientific critical inquiry of the whole truth of past events using the critical method in the
understanding and interpretation of facts which are applicable to current issues and problems.
Descriptive Design
- The study focuses on the present condition.
1. Descriptive-survey – This type is suitable wherever the subjects vary among themselves and
one is interested to know the extent to which different conditions and situations are obtained
among these subjects.
A survey is useful in (1) providing the value of facts, and (2) focusing attention on the most
important things to be reported.
2. Descriptive-normative survey – The term “normative” is sometimes used because surveys are
frequently made to ascertain the normal or typical condition for practice, or to compare local
test results with a state or national norm.
3. Descriptive-status – This approach to problem-solving seeks to answer questions to real facts
elating to existing conditions.
4. Descriptive-analysis – This method determines or describes the nature of an object by
separating it into its parts.
5. Descriptive-classification – This method is employed in natural sciences subjects.
6. Descriptive-evaluative – This design is to appraise carefully the worthiness of the current study.
7. Descriptive-comparative – This is a design where the researcher considers two variables and
establishes a formal procedure to compare and conclude that one is better than the other.
8. Correlational survey – This is designed to determine the relationship of two variables (X and Y).
9. Longitudinal survey – This involves much time allotted for investigation of the same subjects of
two or more points in time.
Experimental Design
- Is the problem-solving approach that the study is described in the future on what will be when
variables are carefully controlled or manipulated.
1. Single-group design – This design involves a single instrument with two or more levels.
2. Two-group design – In this design, two comparable groups are employed as experimental and
control groups or two comparable groups are both experimental groups.
3. Two-pair group design – This design is an elaboration of the two-group design wherein there
are two control groups and two experimental groups.
4. Parallel-group design – This design in which two or more groups are used at the same time
with only a single variable manipulated or changed.
5. Counterbalanced or Latin square design – This design is also called “rotation design” or quasi-
experimental design. It involves an exchange of two or more instruments taken by the subjects
during the experiment.
6. Complete Randomized Design (CRD) – This design in which a group of test plants or animals is
studied only once but subsequent treatment is applied to determine the cause of change.
7. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) – This experimental design uses a group of test
plants and animals as subjects of the study which are studied once but subsequent treatment
applied are replicated to determine the cause of change.
8. Correlational design – This experimental design is used to determine the relationship of two
dependent variables, X and Y, how they are manipulated by the independent variables.
9. Pre-Test-Post-Test design – This design involves the experimental group and the control group
which are carefully selected through randomization procedure.
