Study Notes
Module 1: Understanding Quantitative Methods
- This module aims to introduce quantitative methods and their application in research writing
- Quantitative research involves gathering numerical data to answer questions or test hypotheses
- This module covers quantitative research designs and stages involved in research
- Quantitative Research is one of the two main types of research, the other being qualitative research
Lesson 1: Introducing Quantitative Methods
- Quantitative methods emphasize objective measurements and the statistical analysis of data
- Data is collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys, or by manipulating existing statistical data
- Quantitative research focuses on gathering numerical data and generalizing it across groups of people
- It is used to explain phenomena
- Quantitative research collects information from existing and potential customers using sampling methods and sending out online surveys, online polls, questionnaires etc.
- The results can be depicted in the form of numerical data
- The analysis of this numerical data can be used to predict the future of a product or service, enabling informed decisions and necessary changes
Lesson 2: Quantitative Research Designs
- This lesson focuses on the different research designs used in quantitative research
- Understanding the differences between these designs is crucial for selecting the most appropriate one for a given research problem
