The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the population.
quanti
26
It tends to be associated with emergent research design, using a wide range of approaches.
quali
27
A researcher has a clearly defined research question to which objective answers are sought.
quanti
28
is an objective, systematic empirical investigation of observable phenomena through the use of computational techniques. It focuses on numbers and their relationship with events.
Quantitative research
29
What are the two main approaches to collecting data in research?
qualitative and quantitative research.
30
What is the goal of qualitative research?
to seek meaning and deeper understanding of a phenomenon from the perspective of the participants.
31
How does quantitative research differ from qualitative research? Quantitative research focuses on numerical data and statistical analysis, qualitative research seeks to understand phenomena through observations, interviews, and open-ended questionnaires.
32
When you start to ask questions and seek for information to find answers, you are already doing ______. ______ is essential in obtaining solutions to various problems and in making life more convenient and meaningful.
Research
33
______, the end goal of the inquiry is to seek meaning and deeper understanding of a phenomenon as seen from the perspective of the participants.
qualitative research
34
What does quantitative research inquire about?
inquires about people’s views in a structured manner so that hard evidences and statistics that may be used, e.g. decision making, can be generated.
35
What is essential for obtaining consistent statistical results in quantitative research? :
survey a considerable number of people and get a representative sample of the target population
36
What does data collection in qualitative research involve?
observations, interviews, open-ended questionnaires, documentations, and focused group discussions.
37
What does data collection in quantitative research use?
it uses surveys and closed-ended questionnaires.
38
What are the characteristics of quantitative research?
Objective Tests Theories or Hypotheses Structured Research Instruments Numerical Data Large Sample Size Replication
39
Objective of : Quantitative research
seeks accurate measurement and analysis of target concepts and the real or factual, not the emotional or cognitive existence of the object matters greatly. It is not based on mere intuitions and guesses.
40
Tests Theories or Hypotheses: In quantitative research,
By proving or disproving it through the use of statistics.
41
Structured Research Instruments of quantitative
Data are normally gathered using structured research tools such as questionnaires to collect measurable characteristics of the population like age, socio-economic status, number of children, among others
42
Numerical Data of quantitative
Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often organized and presented using tables, charts, graphs, and figures that consolidate large numbers of data to show trends, relationships or differences among variables.
43
Large Sample Size of quantitative
The sample size depends on how the characteristics of the population but it is assumed that the sample is representative of the population
44
Replication in quanti
A reliable quantitative study can be repeated to verify or confirm the correctness of the results in another setting. This strengthens the validity of the findings that can result in the elimination of the possibility of spurious conclusions.
45
What should you be aware of when choosing a research methodology?
be aware of what a certain research methodology or design can or cannot provide and understand what information it can tell you that can help ascertain things in your daily life.
46
what are the 6 strengths of quantitative research?
- allows the researcher to measure and analyze the data to arrive at an objective answer to the problem posed or stated. - The result is reliable since the study uses a big sample of the population. Standards are usually used in choosing the instruments, in sampling procedures, and in choosing the most appropriate statistical treatment thus making the research replicable. Personal biases can be avoided since personal interaction is not part of the research process. Processes involved are simplified since the steps in doing quantitative research are made easy and systematic. Results can be reduced through statistical treatments and interpreted in a few statements.

53
What are the weaknesses of quantitative research?
The context of the study or the experiment is ignored in such a way that it does not consider the natural setting where the study is conducted. Having a large study sample requires researchers to spend more resources. Results are limited since they are usually based on the analysis of numbers and are not obtained from detailed narratives. It provides less elaborate accounts of human perceptions. In experimental research, the level of control might not be normally placed in the real world because it is usually done in a laboratory. Preset or fixed alternative answers may not necessarily reflect the true answers of the participants. Findings can be influenced by the researcher’s perspective since most of the time the participants are unknown to him/her.
