    This document summarizes key differences between quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative research uses larger sample sizes, numeric data collection through instruments, hypothesis testing, and structured designs. Qualitative research uses smaller sample sizes, interviews and observations as the primary data collection, hypothesis generation, and evolving flexible designs. The document also outlines different types of quantitative research designs including experimental, non-experimental, survey, correlation, and evaluation designs. Experimental designs aim to establish causation through manipulation and control groups while non-experimental designs observe phenomena as they naturally occur.

    PRACTICAL RESEARCH

    Interdisciplinary research perspective


    Utilizes two or more disciplines to assure critical analysis. A certain
    topic may need analysis from different fields of study to produce accurate
    results.
    Quantitative VS Qualitative
    Goals Set at the Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis Generation Set at the
    end of start of
    the study the study
    Design Structured, Predetermined Evolving,
    Flexible

    Sample Smaller, Saturated information Larger (>30), claims should be


    tested via formal testing

    Data Inanimate instruments Researcher as instrument,


    Interviews
    (Measuring Numeric data) observations
    Mode of Inductive Abductive
    Analysis (logical assumption)

    Replicability Always replicable Not always replicable


    Of Results

    Framework of statistical/mathematical content analysis


    Analysis

    Notes
    Qualitative may evolve during the process
    Research Design
    Depends on the researcher’s aim in conducting the study.
    Quantitative can be Non-experimental/Experimental
    Non Experimental
    -observed as they occur naturally
    -no intervention
    -to describe the attributes of the problem

    >Survey Research Design


    Dedicated to providing numeric description of trends in attitudes/opinions by
    studying the sample.
    Data gathered through face-to-face interviews, surveys, calls

    >Correlation Research
    Nature of relationships
    Correlation does not imply causation
     Bivariate correlational studies
    Positive r  positive association
    Negative r  negative association
     Predictor Studies
    How one variable affects another
    Have explanatory variables and response variable
    Simple regression prediction: studies one explanatory variable and how I affects
    one response
    Multiple regression prediction: studies more than one explanatory and its
    responses
    Ex Post Facto Research
    One or more existing conditions casued differences in others
    Descriptive Comparative
    Comparing contrasting two/more samples of one or more variables
    Evaulation research
    Asses the effects/impacts of the outcomes of practices/programs
    Quantitative
    Experimental
    Manipulation in a certain situation is possible (if it is ethically approved)

    -Explores cause and effect relationship


    -tries to find the effects of the treatment (placebo)
    The belief that the respondents are being treated

    Posttest only design


    Two randomly assigned groups (experimental and control group)
    No pretests
    Treatment to experimental
    NO treatment in control
    Posttest on both
    To asses the effect
    Pretest-post-test
    Pretested before manipulation
    Only works with pretest data
    Get data  manipulate -> assess
    Pretest posttest
    Problem : test-wiseness
    Respondents will know what to do due to the pretest
    Solomon four group design
    TWO EXPERIMENTAL TWO CONTROL GROUPS
    FIRST EXPERIMENTAL GROUP HAS PRETEST SECOND DOESN’T
