Study Notes
Quantitative Research
- Focuses on measuring and analyzing numerical data.
- Relies on structured instruments for data collection, such as surveys and experiments.
- Investigates defined research problems with a goal to generalize findings across larger populations.
Qualitative Research
- Collects non-numerical data, emphasizing understanding of concepts, experiences, and social contexts.
- Research questions and methodology can evolve as the researcher's understanding deepens.
- Allows for more participant interaction, often through interviews and open-ended questions.
Key Concepts
- Associated term for qualitative research: Subjectivity.
- Underlying belief in qualitative research: "Meaning is situated in a particular perspective or context, leading to multiple interpretations."
- Underlying belief in quantitative research: "The world is stable and predictable, allowing for measurement and generalization."
Data Collection Period
- Qualitative research typically features longer periods of data collection compared to quantitative research, allowing for in-depth exploration of the subject matter.
Keywords in Qualitative Research
- Commonly associated keywords include thematic analysis, coding, narrative, and phenomenology.
