uses scientifically collected and statistically analyzed data to investigate observable phenomena.

Answer 1

Quantitative Research

Question 2

is any existing or observable fact or situation that we want to unearth further or understand.

Answer 2

Phenomenon

Question 3

are generally easier to collect than descriptions or phrases used in qualitative research.

Numerical Data

Question 4

To obtain more meaningful statistical result, the data must come from

Answer 4

CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

1. Large Sample Size

Question 5

Data gathering and analysis of results are done accurately, objectively, and are unaffected by the researcher’s intuition and personal guesses.

Answer 5

2. Objective

Question 6

Data is numerical, which makes presentation through graphs, charts, and tables possible and for better conveyance and interpretation.

Answer 6

3. Visual Result Presentation

Question 7

The uses of statistical tools give way for a less time consuming data analysis.

Answer 7

4.Faster Data Analysis

Question 8

Data taken from a sample can be applied to the population if sampling is done accordingly, i.e., sufficient size and random samples were taken.

Answer 8

5. Generalized Data

Question 9

Depending on the type of data needed, collection can be quick and easy

Answer 9

6.Fast Data Collection

Question 10

Data is taken and analyzed objectively from a sample as a representative of the population, making it more credible and reliable for policymaking and decision making.

Answer 10

7. Reliable Data

Question 11

The Quantitative method can be repeated to verify findings enhancing its validity, free from false or immature conclusions.

Answer 11

8. Replication

Question 12

7. Very Objective

Question 19

STRENGTH OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Answer 19

8. Validity and reliability can be established.

Question 20

Weaknesses Of Quantitative Research

Answer 20

1. It lacks the necessary data to explore a problem or concept in depth.
2. It does not provide comprehensive explanation of human experiences.
3. Some information cannot be described by numerical data such as feelings, and beliefs.
4. The research design is rigid and not very flexible.
5. The participants are limited to choose only from the given responses.
6. The respondents may tend to provide inaccurate responses.
7. A Large sample size makes data collection more costly.

Question 21

is a broad spectrum that it can be classified into smaller and more specific kinds: descriptive, correlational, ex post facto, quasi-experimental, and experimental.

Answer 21

Kinds of Quantitative Research

Question 22

is used to describe a particular phenomenon by observing it as it occurs in nature.

Answer 22

Descriptive Design

Question 23

identifies the relationship between variables.

Answer 23

correlational design

Question 24

is used to investigate a possible relationship between previous events and present conditions.

Answer 24

Ex post facto design

Question 25

is used to establish the cause and effect relationship of variables.

Answer 25

Quasi-experimental design

Question 26

like quasi- experimental is used to establish the cause and effect relationship of two or more variables.

Answer 26

Experimental Design
