Systematic investigation of observable phenomena, where the researcher collects numerical data and analysis
Quantitative Research
Start from forming generalizations to examining details about the subject matter

Characteristics of Quantitative Research
- Objective
- Uses numbers and figures
- Analogues to scientific/experimental
- Exhibits lower subjectivity and higher generalizability
Findings not only represents the samples but also the populations at large
Generalizability
Classification of Quantitative Research
Experimental
Non - Experimental
What are the experimental researches?
True Experimental
Quasi - Experimental
Single Experimental
Re - Experimental
What are the non - experimental research?
Survey
Historical
Observational
Correlational
Descriptive
Comparative
- Give precise measurement and in-depth analysis of data especially in the production of results
- Obtain an objective understanding of people, things, places, and events
- Enables people to study their surroundings as objectively as they can
