1. What is quantitative research?

- A sample population is a particular group of people that can be studied using

quantitative methods. Quantitative research uses scientific inquiry to address
questions about the sample population using data that are observed or measured.
2. What are the characteristics of quantitative research?
- Large Sample Size.
- Structured Research Methods.
- Highly Reliable Outcome.
- Reusable Outcome.
- Close-ended questions.
- Numerical Outcome.
- Generalization of Outcome.
- Prior study
3. Discuss the strength of Quantitative research.
- The greatest advantage of descriptive data that quantitative studies offer is that it
enables us to take a picture of a user group, but interpreting this data can be
challenging.
4. Discuss the weaknesses of Quantitative research.
- Extensive statistical analysis is needed for quantitative studies, which can be
challenging for researchers without statistical training. Because statistical analysis is
founded on science, it might be challenging for non-mathematicians to complete.
5. Describe each type of quantitative research design. Give example each
a. Descriptive- A population, circumstance, or phenomena is intended to be correctly
and methodically described through descriptive study. What, where, when, and how
inquiries can be answered, but why questions cannot. A descriptive research
strategy can study one or more variables using a wide range of research techniques.
b. Correlational- When using a correlational study design, no variables are within the
researcher's direct control or manipulation. The degree and/or direction of the
association between two (or more) variables is reflected in a correlation. A
correlation may go in either a positive or negative direction.
c. Experimental research- A study that carefully follows a scientific research strategy is
called experimental research. It consists of a hypothesis, a controllable variable, and
variables that can be measured, calculated, and compared. Most crucially, controlled
environments are used to conduct experimental research.
d. Causal-Comparative- Causal-Comparative Research: This type of study looks for a
cause-and-effect connection between two or more groups. Contrary to correlation
research, which examines relationships, causal-comparative investigations entail
comparison.
A. Normative- Finding legal norms, legal doctrines, and legal principles to meet the current
legal concerns is the process known as normative legal research. The argument,
hypothesis, or novel idea that emerges from the study of law serves as a prescription for
resolving issues that arise.
B. Survey- A survey is a research technique used to gather data from a predetermined
sample of respondents in order to learn more and acquire insights into a range of
interesting topics. Depending on the methodology chosen and the objective of the
study, they can serve a variety of functions and be carried out in a variety of methods.
C. Census- Data on each individual unit (such as people or families) in the population is
gathered during a census. A sample is the portion of the population for whom data are
only ever collected in a survey. Following that, the characteristics of the entire
population are estimated using these data.
D. Evaluative- In order to arrive at an assessment or appraisal of a product, program,
practice, activity, or system with the goal of giving knowledge that will be useful in
decision-making, evaluation research is defined as a type of disciplined and methodical
investigation.
E. Comparative- The act of comparing two or more items with the goal of learning more
about one or all of the objects being compared is known as comparative research. This
method frequently combines several fields in a single study.
F. Ex post facto- Ex post facto research, often known as after-the-fact research, is a type of
research design where the investigation begins after the fact, independently of the
researcher.
G. Descriptive- A population, circumstance, or phenomena is intended to be correctly and
methodically described through descriptive study. What, where, when, and how
inquiries can be answered, but why questions cannot. A descriptive research strategy
can study one or more variables using a wide range of research techniques.
H. Correlational- When using a correlational study design, no variables are within the
researcher's direct control or manipulation. The degree and/or direction of the
association between two (or more) variables is reflected in a correlation. A correlation
may go in either a positive or negative direction.
I. Bivariate Correlation- One statistical method for determining whether there are links
between two separate variables is called simple bivariate correlation (i.e., X and Y). It
illustrates how much X will alter when Y changes.
J. Prediction- The experiment's expected outcomes are stated in the prediction, which is
based on the hypothesis. When making a forecast, it's common to use a "if/then
sentence," for instance: If adding fertilizer increases the quantity of beans, then coffee
bean plants will produce more beans.
K. Multiple regression- A single dependent variable and several independent variables can
be analyzed using the statistical technique known as multiple regression. With the use
of independent variables whose values are known, multiple regression analysis aims to
predict the value of a single dependent variable.
L. Pre-experimental- Pre-experimental designs are research plans in which an individual or
group is watched after receiving a treatment to see if the therapy has the potential to
affect change.
M. Quasi experimental- A sort of study design known as a quasi-experiment aims to prove
a cause-and-effect connection. The key distinction between this and a real experiment is
that the groups are not chosen at random.
N. True experimental- Design of true experimental research: The most precise type of
study, true experimental research uses statistical analysis to support or refute a theory.
Only real design, out of all the other kinds of experimental design, can prove a cause-
and-effect connection within a group.
