Experimental research involves applying a treatment to an experimental group and comparing the results to a control group that receives no treatment. There are two main types: true experimental research, which uses random assignment, and quasi-experimental research, which does not. Quasi-experimental research matches or compares non-randomly assigned groups. The goal is to determine the effects or influences of a treatment by giving pre-tests, applying the treatment to the experimental group, and giving post-tests.

1. Obtain a thorough or an in-depth understanding of
experimental research; 2. Justify the link between scientific thinking and experimental thinking; 3. Identify the reasons behind the differences between experimental research and quasi-experimental research; 4. Sequence the events to take place in any quasi- experimental research.

1. Name some famous and great inventions you have known
since birth.
2. What makes you say they are great?
3. How do you think did the inventors come to discover the
value or greatness of their creations? Definition of Experimental Research
• Experimental research is a quantitative research that treats
or deals with the object or subject of the research in a definite or exact manner and determines the extent of the effects or influence of the treatment on the object/subject, then discovers the causes of such effects. Definition of Experimental Research
• Two groups are involved in any experimental research:
experimental group - the one on which the treatment or
influence is applied control group - which does not received any treatment
• The objects or subjects involved are chosen randomly or
selected by chance, rather than by the decision of the researcher. Classification
Experimental research is categorized into two:
true experimental research and quasi-experimental research.
Based on where the experimental research is done:
laboratory research or field research.
Your manner of selecting the participants indicates whether it
is true experimental or quasi-experimental. Classification
The true experimental research absolutely uses random
selection in determining who among the participants should compose the experimental group or the control group.
The quasi-experimental research adopts a comparative
technique in choosing the subjects. Classification
The experimental group on which the treatment or condition is
applied is not chosen randomly, but matched or compared with another group whom the researcher believe as having the same characteristics as the experimental group under treatment. Classification
Employing researcher’s influence in sampling or subject
selection, quasi-experimental research fails to qualify as a genuine experimental research.
Hence, discoveries or findings resulting from this kind of
experimental research are susceptible to doubts.*

Research Design of Experimental Research
Any plan you have about a experimental research must have the following aspects that take place in a sequential manner:
1. Specify the problem or topic of your research.
2. Formulate the research problem or hypotheses.
3. Determine the dependent and independent variables.
4. Select the participants or subject.
Research Design of Experimental Research
5. Decide on the specific type of experimental research;
meaning, whether it will be a true experimental or quasi- experimental research.
6. Conduct the experiment.
7. Collect, analyze, and interpret the results.
Research Design of Experimental Research
In conducting an experimental research:
1. Give a pre-test to examine the initial condition of both groups in relation to a variable, condition, or factor. 2. Apply to the experimental group a new condition.
3. Give the latter (experimental group) a post-test to
determine the effects or influence of the treatment or condition applied on them. Quasi-Experimental Research
Participants chosen in a quasi-experimental research are
those forming a class that remains as one group incapable of disintegration.
The not randomly chosen participants are subject to any of
these types of quasi-experimental research: 1. Matched comparison 2. Time-series quasi-experimental research 3. Single-subject quasi-experimental research Quasi-Experimental Research
1. Matched comparison – choosing a treatment group and
another group that has similarities with the treatment group 2. Time-Series – giving them series of pre-test and post test
3. Single subject – controls treatment and condition applied
to just one individual or a group Experimental Research
