Study Notes
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
- Systematic empirical investigation of observable phenomena.
- Utilizes statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques for data analysis.
- Aims for objectivity; conclusions are based on data rather than intuition or guesswork.
- Involves large sample sizes to enhance reliability.
- Relies on numerical data presented through tables, charts, and graphs.
- Enables replication of studies to verify results across different settings.
- Emphasizes accurate measurement of target concepts prior to drawing conclusions.
Strengths of Quantitative Research
- Broad scope allows involvement of a large number of subjects, improving generalizability of results.
- Minimizes personal bias, promoting objectivity in findings.
- Provides greater accuracy and reliability in data collection and results.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research
- Results may be limited to specific conditions or samples, impacting broader applicability.
- Fails to capture the full depth of human experiences due to reliance on numerical data.
- May overlook contextual factors influencing the data.
Kinds of Quantitative Research
-
Experimental Research: Involves manipulation of variables to establish cause-and-effect relationships.
- True Experimental Design: Randomly assigns subjects to treatment and control groups.
- Quasi-Experimental Design: Lacks random assignment, focusing instead on comparisons between groups.
-
Non-Experimental Research: Observes phenomena without manipulating variables.
- Uses descriptive methods to document and report characteristics of the population.
-
Descriptive Research: Examines the nature and characteristics of existing conditions or phenomena.
- Types include surveys for trends and attitudes, and correlational studies analyzing relationships between variables.
-
Correlational Research: Investigates relationships between two or more variables.
- Can show positive correlation (both variables increase or decrease together) or negative correlation (one variable increases while the other decreases).
Examples of Quantitative Research Applications
- Experimental Research Example: Measuring the effect of modular learning on SHS students' academic performance.
- Descriptive Research Example: Analyzing factors affecting academic performance among students, such as attendance and financial support.
- Correlational Research Example: Exploring the relationship between family income and daily allowance or studying the impact of study hours on test scores.
