Transcript of Research Methodology
Methodology involves a brief
description of the research design to be
used including the justification why it is
the best method for the study This
chapter covers a comprehensive
description of Methodology which
includes research design research
locals samples and sampling
techniques used in the study as well as
instrumentation research procedure
and complete statistical analysis of the
data gathered
bull Research design refers to a scheme or plan of how the research will be conducted (Menheim et al 1977) Hence the quality of research output depends largely upon the research design or method used in the study
bull Any researcher should therefore exercise a great level of judgement in selecting the appropriate and effective method of research in order to attain the main and specific objectives of the study
Any method or a combination
of the following research designs
could be utilized depending on its
appropriateness to the study to be
conducted
Descriptive Design
Survey
Content Analysis
Case Study
Feasibility Study
Descriptive Method
Descriptive Method is a general procedure
employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)
Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem
A Survey is used when the
objectives of the study is to see a
general or specific picture of the
population under investigation in
terms of their social and economic
characteristics opinions and their
knowledge about or behaviour
towards a certain phenomenon
covering either relatively large
population under investigation called
ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope
which covers only a portion of
population under study called
ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)
Population Rank 12
of World Pop 138
The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year
The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes
used in survey to describe the established
standards through the study of what is
prevalent and made to ascertain the normal
or typical practice or condition which is
compared to local results with a state or
national norm It is an investigation which
ascertains the facts concerning the present
status (Good 1973)
Normative survey
Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe 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 normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm
The Real Estate In Hongkong
This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted
the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves
adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research
describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to
this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis
as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under
descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which
is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can
represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations
Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These
are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture
capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to
provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of
survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher
directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents
were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in
HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in
identifying its strengths and limitations

Philippines Unsurprisingly for a country that
is made up of many islands the Philippines
contains a diverse range of ethnic groups The
latest data available comes from the 2000
census which reported the following breakdown

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group
or community (Young 1966)
Introducing participatory planning practices with
local governments A Philippines case study
Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines
The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new
possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions
involved in going through this development process This applies
both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents
who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main
actors and managers of local government development) in their
own respective barangays They have started to produce results
but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest
and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to
the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this
the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments
and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork
and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they
become engrossed in their daily routine

Introducing participatory planning
practices with local governments A
Philippines case study Demetrio Imperial
Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability
As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Decentralizing government in the
Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

of a proposed undertaking on the establishment of
either a certain institution an infrastructure or a
business venture This study involves an extensive
and systematic analysis of all factors affecting the
possibility of success of a proposed project

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Any method or a combination
of the following research designs
could be utilized depending on its
appropriateness to the study to be
conducted
Descriptive Design

Descriptive Method
Descriptive Method is a general procedure
employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)
Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem
A Survey is used when the
objectives of the study is to see a
general or specific picture of the
population under investigation in
terms of their social and economic
characteristics opinions and their
knowledge about or behaviour
towards a certain phenomenon
covering either relatively large
population under investigation called
ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope
which covers only a portion of
population under study called
ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)
Population Rank 12
of World Pop 138
The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year
The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes
used in survey to describe the established
standards through the study of what is
prevalent and made to ascertain the normal
or typical practice or condition which is
compared to local results with a state or
national norm It is an investigation which
ascertains the facts concerning the present
status (Good 1973)
Normative survey
Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe 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 normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm
The Real Estate In Hongkong
This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted
the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves
adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research
describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to
this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis
as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under
descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which
is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can
represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations
Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These
are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture
capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to
provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of
survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher
directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents
were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in
HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in
identifying its strengths and limitations

Philippines Unsurprisingly for a country that
is made up of many islands the Philippines

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group
or community (Young 1966)
Introducing participatory planning practices with
local governments A Philippines case study
Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines
The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new
possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions
involved in going through this development process This applies
both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents
who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main
actors and managers of local government development) in their
own respective barangays They have started to produce results
but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest
and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to
the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this
the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments
and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork
and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they
become engrossed in their daily routine

As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group
or community (Young 1966)

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

Decentralizing government in the
Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Descriptive Method
Descriptive Method is a general procedure
employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)
Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem
A Survey is used when the
objectives of the study is to see a
general or specific picture of the
population under investigation in
terms of their social and economic
characteristics opinions and their
knowledge about or behaviour
towards a certain phenomenon
covering either relatively large
population under investigation called
ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope
which covers only a portion of
population under study called
ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)
Population Rank 12
of World Pop 138
The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year
The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes
used in survey to describe the established
standards through the study of what is
prevalent and made to ascertain the normal
or typical practice or condition which is
compared to local results with a state or
national norm It is an investigation which
ascertains the facts concerning the present
status (Good 1973)
Normative survey
Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe 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 normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm
The Real Estate In Hongkong
This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted
the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves
adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research
describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to
this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis
as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under
descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which
is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can
represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations
Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These
are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture
capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to
provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of
survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher
directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents
were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in
HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in
identifying its strengths and limitations

Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

A Survey is used when the
objectives of the study is to see a
general or specific picture of the
population under investigation in
terms of their social and economic
characteristics opinions and their
knowledge about or behaviour
towards a certain phenomenon
covering either relatively large
population under investigation called
ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope
which covers only a portion of
population under study called
ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)
Population Rank 12
of World Pop 138
The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year
The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes
used in survey to describe the established
standards through the study of what is
prevalent and made to ascertain the normal
or typical practice or condition which is
compared to local results with a state or
national norm It is an investigation which
ascertains the facts concerning the present
status (Good 1973)
Normative survey
Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe 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 normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted
the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves
adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research
describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to
this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis
as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under
descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which
is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can
represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations
Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These
are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture
capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to
provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of
survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher
directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents
were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in
HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in
identifying its strengths and limitations

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group
or community (Young 1966)

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines
The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new
possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions
involved in going through this development process This applies
both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents
who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main
actors and managers of local government development) in their
own respective barangays They have started to produce results
but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest
and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to
the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this
the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments
and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork
and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

Decentralizing government in the
Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted
the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which
is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can
represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture
capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group
or community (Young 1966)
Introducing participatory planning practices with
local governments A Philippines case study
Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines
The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new
possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions
involved in going through this development process This applies
both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents
who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main
actors and managers of local government development) in their
own respective barangays They have started to produce results
but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest
and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to
the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this
the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments
and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork
and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they
become engrossed in their daily routine

Introducing participatory planning
practices with local governments A
Philippines case study Demetrio Imperial
Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability
As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

thorough and comprehensive study of a

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes
used in survey to describe the established
standards through the study of what is
prevalent and made to ascertain the normal
or typical practice or condition which is
compared to local results with a state or
national norm It is an investigation which
ascertains the facts concerning the present
status (Good 1973)
Normative survey

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

The Real Estate In Hongkong
This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted
the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves
adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research
describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to
this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis
as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under
descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which
is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can
represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations
Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These
are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture
capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to
provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of
survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher
directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents
were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in
HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in
identifying its strengths and limitations

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)
This is used when an extensively
thorough and comprehensive study of a
particular individual group or institution or
situation is involved over a period of time It
is a comprehensive study of a person group
or community (Young 1966)
Introducing participatory planning practices with
local governments A Philippines case study
Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines
The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new
possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions
involved in going through this development process This applies
both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents
who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main
actors and managers of local government development) in their
own respective barangays They have started to produce results
but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest
and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to
the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this
the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments
and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork
and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they
become engrossed in their daily routine

Decentralizing government in the
Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

This descriptive method is used to find the viability
of a proposed undertaking on the establishment of
either a certain institution an infrastructure or a
business venture This study involves an extensive
and systematic analysis of all factors affecting the
possibility of success of a proposed project

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Introducing participatory planning practices with
local governments A Philippines case study
Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines
The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new
possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions
involved in going through this development process This applies
both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents
who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main
actors and managers of local government development) in their
own respective barangays They have started to produce results
but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest
and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to
the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this
the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments
and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork
and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they
become engrossed in their daily routine

Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability
As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Decentralizing government in the
Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and
outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious
method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers
1978)
This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign
which is used for variation concomitant for the
manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a
technique of discovering information through
experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure
involving a manipulation or control of conditions for
the purpose of studying the relative effects of various
treatments applied to members of a sample or of the
same treatment to members of different samples
(Good 1976)
Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out

was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
Historical Source
bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately
bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event
The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Experimental method describes and
analyzes variables under controlled
conditions for purposes of arriving into a
conclusion It is specifically made up of
manipulating experimental variables
under highly controlled conditions to
determine how and why a particular
event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)
bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed
bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour
bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST
Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)
These experiments were performed to find out
the effect of different levels of illumination
(lighting) on productivity of labour The
brightness of the light was increased and
decreased to find out the effect on the
productivity of the test group Surprisingly the
productivity increased even when the level of
illumination was decreased It was concluded
that factors other than light were also
important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
Under these test two small groups of six female
telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group
was kept in separate rooms From time to time
changes were made in working hours rest periods
lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their
own rest periods and to give suggestions Output
increased in both the control rooms It was concluded
that social relationship among workers participation in
decision making etc had a greater effect on
productivity than working conditions
Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room
Study (1927-1929)
httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-
studies-experiments-4-partshtml
21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing

studies-experiments-4-partshtml
A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge

endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and

21000 employees were interviewed
over a period of three years to find out
reasons for increased productivity It
was concluded that productivity can be
increased if workers are allowed to talk
freely about matters that are important
to them
Part III - Mass Interviewing
Programme (1928-1930)

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room
were placed under observation for six months A
workers pay depended on the performance of the
group as a whole The researchers thought that the
efficient workers would put pressure on the less
efficient workers to complete the work However it
was found that the group established its own
standards of output and social pressure was used
to achieve the standards of output
Part IV - Bank Wiring Observation
Room Experiment (1932)

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future
bull This method will shed light on the issues under
study which will eventually lead to the discovery of
the truth and enrichment of knowledge
bull Historical embraces various fields of human
endeavour namely science technology education
economics engineering medicine psychology
sociology including art literature culture and
sports It aims for critical search for truth in any
specific area by taking into consideration the actual
events without distortion and exaggeration of facts
