    Nikkaa XOX
    This document describes the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and kinds of quantitative research. Quantitative research explains phenomena through numerical data analyzed statistically. It aims to be objective and reliable by reducing variables and establishing causal relationships. Strengths include producing objective answers and generalizable results through large samples analyzed systematically. Weaknesses are that it ignores context, requires many resources, and provides less detailed accounts. The main kinds of quantitative research are descriptive research, correlational research, causal-comparative research, and experimental research.

    Characteristics, Strengths, Weaknesses

    and Kinds of Quantitative Research


    Chapter 1 Nature of Inquiry and Research

    Prepared by Ms. Erika Zandra D. Larot


    Learning Competency
    Describes characteristics, strengths,
    weaknesses, and kinds of quantitative
    research.
    Performance Standard
    Decide on suitable quantitative
    research in different areas of interest
    What is Quantitative Research?
    explaining phenomena by collecting
    numerical data that are analyzed using
    tools of mathematics and statistics.
    Characteristics
     It is reliable and objective.
     It uses statistics to generalize a finding.
     It reduces and restructures a complex problem to a
    limited number of variables.
     It looks at the connections between variables and
    establishes causes and effect relationships in highly
    controlled circumstances.
    Characteristics
     It tests theories and hypotheses.
     It assumes that the sample is representative of the
    population.
     The subjectivity of its methodology is a secondary
    concern.
     It deals with the details of the subject.
    Strengths
    1. It allows the researcher to measure and analyze
    the data to arrive at an objective answer to the
    problem posted or stated.
    2. The result is reliable since the study uses a big
    sample of the population.
    Strengths
    3. Standards are usually used in choosing the
    instruments, in sampling procedures, and in choosing
    the most appropriate statistical treatment, thus
    making the research replicable.
    4. Personal biases can be avoided since personal
    interaction is not part of the research process.
    Strengths
    5. Processes involved are simplified since the steps
    in doing quantitative research are made easy and
    systematic.
    6. Results can be reduced through statistical
    treatments and interpreted in a few statements.
    Weaknesses
    1. The context of the study or the experiment is
    ignored in such a way that it does not consider
    the natural setting where the study is conducted.
    2. Having a large study sample requires researchers
    to spend more resources.
    Weaknesses
    3. Results are limited since they are usually based on the
    analysis of numbers and are not obtained from detailed
    narratives.
    4. It provides less elaborate accounts of human perceptions.
    5. In experimental research, the level of control might not be
    normally placed in the real world because it is usually done
    in a laboratory.
    Weaknesses
    6. Preset or fixed alternative answers may not
    necessarily reflect the true answers of the
    participants.
    7. Findings can be influenced by the researcher’s
    perspective since most of the time, the participants
    are unknown to him/her.
    Kinds of Quantitative Research
     Descriptive Research
     Correlational Research
     Causal - Comparative Research
     Experimental Research
    Descriptive Research
     generally concerned with investigating,
    measuring, and describing one or more aspects or
    characteristics of one or more groups, communities,
    or phenomenon.
    Correlational Research
     studies the relationship between two or more
    characteristics of one or more groups.
     it can verify or disprove a systematic relationship
    between two characteristics or variables.
    Causal – Comparative Research
     compares one or more measurable characteristics
    of two or more groups to find the similarities and
    the differences between them.
     The result of a comparison can be used to generate
    insights about the characteristics of both groups.
    Experimental Research
     manipulate conditions or inputs to observe the
    outcomes
     subject to more extensive ethical standards,
    especially when the experiment may cause physical,
    mental, psychological, or environmental harm.
