Lesson 1: Qualitaties Of Qualitative Research

Question 1

numerical values and how they can describe a phenomenon or infer a relationship.

Answer 1

Quantitative Research

Question 2

Variables:

manipulated in experiments.

Answer 2

Independent Varible

Question 3

Variables:

Depends on the independent variables.

Answer 3

Dependent Variable

Question 4

Characteristics of Quantitative Research:

should be in an environment where all variables are identified and can be controlled.

Answer 4

Controllability

Question 5

Characteristics of Quantitative Research:

large sample sizes that results are based on as a representative of the population.

Answer 5

Generalizability

Question 6

Characteristics of Quantitative Research:

results of the data are observable and measurable using structured instruments.

Answer 6

Objectivity

Question 7

Characteristics of Quantitative Research:

should be replicable by other teams of researchers that will eventually come up with similar outcomes.

Answer 7

Replicability

Question 8

What are the strengths of Qualitative Research?

Answer 8

○ analysis of data is assisted with statistical methods.

○ large-scale research can be undertaken.

○ data can be presented in graphical or tabular form.

Question 9

What are the **weaknesses* of Qualitative Research?

Answer 9

○ large sample sizes requires a lot of time and effort.

○ statistical analysis or data requires an expert to perform.

○ quantifying and reducing observations to numerical values makes it too simplistic

Question 10

Types of Quantitative Research (Experimental):

○ identify a cause-effect relationships between the variables when the samples are randomized

○ done in laboratory

Answer 10

True Experimental Research

Question 11

Types of Quantitative Research (Nonexperimental):

description of factors, variables, or phenomenon that occur in nature.

Answer 11

Descriptive Research

Question 12

Types of Quantitative Research (Nonexperimental):

compare two variables in order to indemnify whether there exists a relationship between them.

Answer 12

Comparative Research

Question 13

Types of Quantitative Research (Nonexperimental):

compare two variables then identify the relationship between them.

Answer 13

Correlational Research

Question 14

Types of Quantitative Research (Nonexperimental):

uses assigned samples.

Answer 14

Quasi-experimental Research
