COMPARATIVE TYPE

OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

COMPARATIVE TYPE
This type of problems intend to
determine the difference between
two groups or variations among
three or more groups.

A. Comparing two groups in one

factor/variable/comparing two factors/variables in
one group.

Example 1
Level 1:
What is the difference between male and
female teachers in terms of their values?
Level 2:
To what extent do male and female teachers
differ in terms of their values?

A. Comparing two groups in one

factor/variable/comparing two factors/variables in
one group.

Example 1
Hypothesis:
There is no significant difference between male
and female teachers in terms of their values.
Objectives:
To determine the extent of difference between
male and female teachers in terms of their
values.

Comparative Type
Example 2
Level 1:
What is the difference male and female
students in terms of their performance in
problem solving in Physics?
Level 2:
To what extent do male and female students
differ in terms of their performance in problem
solving in Physics?

Comparative Type
Example 2
Hypothesis:
There is no significant difference between male
and female students in terms of their
performance in problem solving in Physics.
Objectives:
To determine the extent of difference between
male and female students in terms of their
performance in problem solving in Physics.

A. Comparing two groups in one

factor/variable/comparing two factors/variables in
one group.

Try this:
What is the difference between
chalk-board method and
technology based learning method
in increasing the academic
performance of the students?

factor/variable/comparing two factors/variables in
one group.
Level 1

Level 2

Hypothesis

Objective

Comparing more than two variables

in one group
Example 3
Level 2:
To what extent do the achievements in College
Algebra of first year students vary when
exposed to different teaching strategies?
Level 1:
What is the variation of achievements in
College Algebra of First year students when
exposed to different teaching strategies?

Comparing more than two

variables in one group
Hypothesis:
There is no significant variation in the
achievements in College Algebra of First Year
students when exposed to different teaching
strategies.
Objective:
To determine the extent of variation among
First Year students in terms of their
achievements in College Algebra when exposed
to different teaching strategies.

Comparing more than two

variables in one group
Example 4
Level 2:
To what extent do the Second Year students in
Aguilar Integrated School vary in terms of their
Achievement test-MPS?
Level 1:
What is the variation of second year students
in Aguilar Integrated School in terms of their
Achievement test-MPS?

Comparing more than two

variables in one group
Hypothesis:
There is no significant variation of the second
year students in Aguilar Integrated School in
terms of their Achievement Test-MPS.
Objective:
To determine the extent of variation among
Second Year students in Aguilar Integrated
School in terms of their Achievement TestMPS.

Comparing more than two

variables in one group

Try this:
What is the variation of the Third
year students in terms of their
academic performance when they
have different nutritional status.

Comparing more than two

variables in one group
Level 1

Level 2

Hypothesis

Objective

Comparing more than two groups in

one factor
Example 6
Level 2:
To what extent do the elementary schools in
Camiling District vary in terms of Mathematics
performance of their pupils?
Level 1:
What is the variation of Elementary schools in
Camiling District in terms of Mathematics
performance of their pupils?

Comparing more than two group in

one factor
Hypothesis:
There is no significant variation of the
elementary schools in Camiling District in
terms of Mathematics performance of their
pupils.
Objective:
To determine the extent of variation among
Elementary schools in Camiling District in
terms of Mathematics performance of their
pupils.

Comparing more than two groups

in one factor
Example 7
Level 1:
What is the variation of the Fourth year
students in Pangasinan District II in terms of
their academic performance?
Level 2:
To what extent do the Fourth Year students in
Pangasinan District II vary in terms of their
academic performance?

Comparing more than two group in

one factor
Hypothesis:
There is no significant variation of the Fourth
Year students in Pangasinan District II in terms
of their academic performance.
Objective:
To determine the extent of variation among
Fourth Year students in Pangasinan District II
in terms of their academic performance.

Comparing more than two group in

one factor

What is the variation of High
School teachers in Dagupan
District in terms of their
educational attainment affects
their teaching performance?
