8. 02 01 Quantitative research involves collection of numerical data. Expressions like numerical forms, objective thinking, statistical methods and measurement are elements of a quantitative research. It is a way of making any phenomenon or any sensory experience clearer or more meaningful by gathering and examining information about such person, thing, place, or event appealing to senses.

9. Example: [ Social Science-Human Behavior ] 1. Determining the respondents’ academic grades and arrived at 96, 97, 78, and 60. 2. Determining the respondents’ level of agreement to factors that correlate with academic performance. 3. Determining respondents’ stress levels from 1-10 and arrived at 5, 6, 7 and 8 4. Computing for the strength of relationship between the family stress with academic performance where you arrived at .7328 interpreted as strong relationship of variables.

10. Characteristics of Quantitative Research Objective Uses numbers and figures Focuses on the object of the study Exclude own thoughts and feelings about the subject or object Characterized by real or factual Analogous to scientific or experimental thinking It does not just identify problems but theorize, hypothesize, analyze, infer and create.

11. Strengths of Quantitative Research 1. Samples of individuals can be selected to ensure that the results will be the representative of the population studied. 2. Structural factors that determine how inequalities are produced can be analyzed . 3. Quantitative estimates can be obtained of the magnitude and distribution of impact 4. Standardized approaches permit the study to be replicated with the production of comparable findings

12. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH vs. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

13. standards qualitative Results from social interaction 1. MENTAL SURVEY OF REALITY Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Exists in the physical world 2. CAUSE-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP Revealed by automatic descriptions of circumstance or conditions Explained by people’s objectives and desires

14. standards qualitative Subjective; sometimes personally engaged 3. RESEARCHER’S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE OBJECT OR SUBJECT OF THE STUDY Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Objective; least involvement of the researcher 4. EXPRESSION OF DATA, DATA ANALYSIS, AND FINDINGS Numerals, statistics Verbal language (words, visuals, objects)

15. standards qualitative Takes place as the research proceeds gradually 5. RESEARCH PLAN Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Plans all the research aspects before collecting data 6. BEHAVIOR TOWARD RESEARCH ASPECTS/ CONDITIONS Control or manipulation of research conditions by the researcher Desires to preserve the natural setting of research features

16. standards qualitative Multiple methods 7. OBTAINING KNOWLEDGE Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Scientific method 8. PURPOSE Evaluates objectives and examines cause and effect relationship Makes social intentions understandable

17. standards qualitative Thematic codal ways, competence based 9. DATA-ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Mathematically based method 10. STYLE OF EXPRESSION Impersonal, scientific or systematic Personal

18. standards qualitative More inclined to purposive sampling or use of chosen samples based on some criteria 11. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Random sampling as the most preferred 12. SAMPLE SIZE Sample size is determined if total population exceeds 30 Typically small

19. standards qualitative Not suitable for collecting data over a large area 13. SUITABILITY FOR STUDYING Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Suitable for studying large population 14. APPROACH Objective Subjective

20. standards qualitative Explore complex human issues 15. AIM Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Test hypothesis, test theories 16. PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION Deductive Inductive

21. standards qualitative Adequacy 17. ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOMES Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Validity and reliability 18. PRINCIPLE OF SAMPLE SIZE Representation Saturation

22. standards qualitative Interviews, Focus group discussion 19. TOOLS or INSTRUMENTS Q ualitative vs. quantitative quantitative Survey questionnaire 20. MEASURES OF UTILITY ON RESULTS Generalizability Transferability

23. **Notice that quantitative research involves sensory experience ; using your senses in determining measurement and counting of data (you use eyes, nose, ear compared to abstract of qualitative; you use understanding and wisdom).
