Lesson 1 Flashcards
Explaining a phenomena by collecting numerical data that are analyzed using mathematically based methods (Aliaga & Gunderson, 2000)
Quantitative Research
- utilizes numbers and statistical analysis
- ideal in studying phenomenon
Quantitative Research
Peculiar incident that can happen anywhere, with any discipline or in any organization
Phenomenon
Why is Quantitative Research systematic?
Since the researcher progresses logically through a series of steps and according to a pre-specified plan of action
Enumerate the Characteristics of Quanti Research
- Reliable & Objective
- Uses statistics to generalize a finding
- Reduces & Restructures a complex problem to a limited number of variables
- Looks at connections between variables and establishes cause and effect relationships in highly controlled circumstances
- Tests theories or hypotheses
- Assumes sample is representative of the population
- Subjectivity of its methodology is a secondary concern
- Deals w/ details of the subject
Enumerate the advantages of Quanti Research
- Measure & analyze data to arrive at an objective answer to the problem posed/stated
