QUANTITATIVE METHOD
Refers to a general set of orderly, disciplined
procedures used to acquire information
QUANTITATIVE METHOD
- deductive and systematic
- control
- empirical evidence
- tool + statistical treatment
goal: generalizability
QUANTITATIVE METHOD
- holds a small portion of human experience
- You’ll create your own questionnaire
QUANTITATIVE METHOD
- is conducted to find answers to questions
about relationships among measurable variables with purpose of explaining,
controlling, and predicting phenomena
QUANTITATIVE METHOD
it is knowing the outcome stated in numerical
data
QUANTITATIVE METHOD
which use a general set of
orderly, disciplined procedures to acquire Information and moves in an orderly and
systematic fashion
