Comparison
They are both method of
measuring data.
They are both method of
gathering data.
They are process to test your
knowledge in certain things.
They are both tool for
counting.
Contrast
Quantitative data is variables
whose values result from
counting or measuring
something. While Qualitative
data is acquired by word.
The interview will conduct a
one on one dialogue and in
questionnaire we need to use
a paper with question to
gather data.
Pre – test is knowing what
you have and post – test is
knowing what you gained or
learned.
The difference between
interval and ratio
scales comes from their
ability to dip below
zero. Interval scales hold no
true zero and can represent
values below zero.
