Weakness of quantitative research

1.Large sample size is needed in establishing relatable generalization.

Since Larger sample sizes provide more accurate mean values, identify outliers that could skew
the data in a smaller sample and provide a smaller margin of error it is indeed necessary for a quantitave
researchers to address the weakness number 1 given above. A sufficient large sample size must be put
into considerations by the researcher by means of giving additional funds and effort to acquire the large
sample size needed.

2.Reproduction of research instruments covering large sample size is expensive.

 Using the best and suited research instrument to cover large sample is needed.

3.Numerical data obtained often times are superficial as contextual data are often neglected.

There must be a thorough analysis of the numerical data gathered.

4.Sensitive issue and information’s are difficult to gather using structured researched instruments.

 Improvised and alternative researched instruments must be prepared and use.

5.Numerical data obtained often times are incomplete and respondents may guess and not respond
seriously and honesty.

 Use a mixed methodology that will make the data gathering more formal to gather valid and
reliable datas.

Descriptive Design
This designs observes the perception of the
repondents regarding certain phenomenon as
they occur naturally.
Example of Research
Topic: A descriptive analysis of effect of covid19
Pandemic to Senior Highschool students of Academic
Achievements.
True experimental Design
employs experimental and control set-ups in
order to test the the effectiveness of an
intervention with well established pre-
experimental sample selectio process.
Survey
this design is used in gathering data from large
group of population which is ussed to identify
the general perception of the population as it
offers a geaneral picture of how large
population perceived i a certain phenomena.
Experimental Research Design
Allows the researcher to manipulate variables to
identify casual relationship or degree of
effectiveness of an intervention.
Example :The effect of Sinovac to the health of
the people.
Quasi-Experimental Design
involves selecting samples,groups upon which
an intervention kis without any random pre-
selection process. z cxz
Correlational
This designs aims to establish correaltion and
realtionship among variables.
