TYPES OF RESEARCH
Quantitative Research
Quantitative research is the process of
collecting and analyzing numerical data. It
can be used to find patterns and averages,
make predictions, test causal relationships,
and generalize results to wider populations.
Ex. Survey/questionnaire
PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION
Qualitative Research
Qualitative research is a process of
naturalistic inquiry that seeks an in-depth
understanding of social phenomena within
their natural setting. It focuses on the
"why" rather than the "what" of social
phenomena and relies on the direct
experiences of human beings as meaning-
making agents in their every day lives.
Ex. Observation
