Directions: On the space provided,
write TRUE if the statement describes
quantitative research and FALSE if it is
incorrect
1.Quantitative data can be
presented using tables and graphs.
2.The results of quantitative
research can be used to generalize
and predict.
3. Quantitative research is
flexible so at any stage, the study
may change.
4. Quantitative data are more
credible, reliable, and useful than
qualitative data.
5. The research study cannot be
replicated or repeated because it
is unique in every case
6. Data are in the form of numbers
and analyzed statistically.
7. Data analysis is an on-going
process. It can be done at any
stage of the process.
8. The behavior of the participants
is observed and is critical to the
analysis of results.
8. Analysis of data is less
time-consuming.
9. In quantitative research,
the researcher participates
and engages the participants
in the study
Direction: Write YES on the blank if
the question requires for quantitative
approach and NO if it does not.
