Q

characteristics of quantitative research

A

uses methods/procedures of data gathering that call for measurable characteristics of the population; standardized instruments; uses figures, tables, or graphs to showcase summarized data collected

Q

other strengths of quantitative research

A

it is objective; it is real and unbiased; the numerical data can be analyzed in quick and easy ways; the use of the statistical techniques facilitates sophisticated analyses of data; quantitative studies are replicable

Q

weaknesses of quantitative research

A

costly, difficult and time-consuming; requires intensive statistical treatment, requiring stringent standards; quanti methods also tend to turn out only to proved or unproven results, leaving little room for uncertainty or grey areas

23
Q

weaknesses of quantitative research

A

requires a large number of participants; it is costly; the information of contextual factors to help interpret or explain the results are usually ignored; if not done seriously and correctly, data from questionnaires may be incomplete and inaccurate, many information are difficult to gather using structured research instruments

24
Q

refers to the overall strategy that you can use in order to integrate the different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby ensuring researcher to effectively address the research problem

A

research design

25
Q

it constitutes as the blueprint for the selection, measurement and analysis of data

A

research design

26
Q

classifications of quantitative research designs

A

experimental and non-experimental

27
Q

emphasize objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys,, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques.

A

quantitative methods

28
Q

what is under experimental quantitative research

A

true-experimental; quasi-experimental; pre-experimental

29
Q

what is under non-experimental quantitative research

A

descriptive

30
Q

what is under true experimental quantitative research design

A

pre-test design; post-test design; post-test only/control group design

31
Q

what is under the quasi-experimental quantitative research design

A

non equivalent control group design; time series design

32
Q

converting a true experiment into kind of design for purposes of analysis.

A

non equivalent control group design

33
Q

employs multiple measures before and after the experimental intervention.

A

time series design

34
Q

what is under pre-experimental quantitative research design

A

one shot case study; one group

35
Q

what is under the one group pre-experimental quantitative research design

A

pre-test design and post-test design

36
Q

types of descriptive research designs

A

survey; correlational; ex-post facto research design; comparative design; evaluative research; methodological

37
Q

a research design used when the researcher intends to provide a quantitative or numerical description of trends, attitude or opinions of a population by studying a sample of that population

A

survey

38
Q

a research design used to compare relationships.

A

correlational

39
Q

types of correlational studies

A

bivariate correlational studies; prediction studies; multiple regression prediction studies

40
Q

obtain scores from two variables for each subject then use them to calculate
a correlation coefficient.

A

bivariate correlational studies

41
Q

implies that the two variables are correlated

A

bivariate

42
Q

use correlation coefficient to show how one variable (the predictor variable) predicts another (the criterion variable)

A

prediction studies

43
Q

what are the two variables in prediction studies

A

predictor and criterion variable

44
Q

use correlation coefficient variables that can contribute to the overall prediction in an equation that adds together the predictive power of each identified variable

A

multiple regression prediction studies

45
Q

these are non-experimental designs that are used to investigate causal relationships.

A

ex-post facto research design

46
Q

involves comparing and contrasting two or more samples of study subjects on one or more variables.

A

comparative design

47
Q

seeks to assess or judge in some way providing information about something other than might be gleaned in mere observation or investigation of relationships.

A

evaluative research

48
Q

It is conducted to elicit useful feedback from a variety of respondents from various fileds to aid in decision making or policy formulation

A

evaluative research

49
Q

the implementation of a variety of methodologies forms a critical part of achieving the goal of developing a scale-matched approach where data from different disciplines can be integrated.

A

methodological

50
Q

what is under the qualitative research design

A

focus group discussion; grounded theory; phenomenology; discourse analysis; participant observation

51
Q

allows researcher to control the situation.

A

experimental research design

52
Q

apply to experimental designs with the least internal activity.

A

pre-experimental types of research

53
Q

Two Classes of Experimental Designs:

A

quasi experimental; true experimental

54
Q

the quasi-experimental design allows the researcher to

A

collect more data

55
Q

controls for both time-related and group-related threats

A

true-experimental

56
Q

employs both treated and control growth

A

true-experimental
