1. You have been tasked to do research on students’ satisfaction in the College. Which research method do you think would be more suitable for your research? Why? Provide justification for your choice.

Qualitative research will be more suitable for the research ' students’ satisfaction in the College'
Qualitative research comes from open-ended questions. It collects data in a different way. Instead of providing questions with only specific answers, like a poll, qualitative research allows people to be themselves during the research process. In return, researchers are able to investigate methodologies with greater accuracy. They can search through recordings to find new data.

2. If you are asked to find out the relationship between age and religiosity in the UK, which research method would you choose? Explain.

If you are asked to find out the relationship between age and religiosity in the UK, which research method would you choose? Explain. Religious freedom is a basic right of citizens, but how to define religion from the perspective of law is still controversial in both theoretical research and legal practice. Therefore, in order to better protect the relevant rights of citizens or religious organizations, we must first make a qualitative analysis of religious freedom. And qualitative research does not have high requirements for data, but it pays attention to using the mastered data to analyze problems, which is more suitable.

3. Write a research hypothesis for this topic: Substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment. Is this a quantitative or a qualitative research?

Qualitative research was conducted on the unemployed people with drug abuse, and the non probability sampling survey method was adopted. Conduct a small sample population survey to obtain relevant information about this social phenomenon. It can also be used to study special behaviors and special purposes, such as the use and law of drugs in this range of people.

4.What kind of data collection strategy would you use to conduct the research on this topic: How has freelancing become a new field of interest among the youth in 2020; In-depth-interview or closed-ended questioner? Why?

I will use Case studies which is Qualitative research to conduct the research on this topic. It becomes possible to understand attitudes if we use In-depth-interview. Interviewer patterns can often change. When that happens suddenly, we can be left wondering what happened to them. The processes which are provided by qualitative research provide for a potential understanding as to why an attitude may shift. This may even lead to a definitive explanation, which can allow us to adapt to the perspective shift. Because Case studies helps us all understand attitudes better, it becomes easier to maintain interviewer relationships.

1. Since I’m asked to do research about students satisfaction in the college the research method I think would be more suitable for my research would be surveying. Survey research, like all research, has the potential for a variety of sources of error, but several strategies exist to reduce the potential for error. Surveys are useful in describing the characteristics of a large population. No other research method can provide this broad capability, which ensures a more accurate sample to gather targeted results in which to draw conclusions and make important decisions. Surveys are less expensive than many other data collection techniques. Surveys can be created quickly and administered easily.

2. I would choose quantitative research, because the question is the difference between different ages, is an age variable

3. Substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment. Is a qualitative research. I think it will be  quantitative because it need more data and people to show that the result of Substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment. To prove the answer

4. In-depth-interview
The sampling is more accurate than other data collection methods. Researchers can monitor changes in tone and word choice of participants to gain a better understanding of opinions. Fewer participants are needed to obtain useful information.

In questionnaires, responses are limited to answers to predetermined questions. In interviews, since the interviewer is present with the subject, there is an opportunity to collect nonverbal data as well and to clarify the meaning of questions if the subjects do not understand.

1.I think it is more appropriate to use qualitative research, we need to go deeper and analyse where students are dissatisfied and make corrections to improve the satisfaction of the next students.

2. I will adopt a quantitative research method, as this topic requires a large amount of quantifiable data in order to  the general trend and linkage between age and religiosity in the UK. Therefore, a quantitative research method would be better.

3.I will choose to use quantitative research to solve this problem, because this problem has raised a hypothesis, that is, let us find out whether adolescent drug abuse is necessarily related to their unemployment. I need to find samples through quantitative research and provide information from the samples to refute or support this view.

4.I would use qualitative research to research this topic and use in-depth interviews. With the development of the internet today, including the rise of many new industries, fewer and fewer people are choosing to work in traditional industries and most people prefer to go freelance, so it is difficult to analyse using quantitative research alone

1.You have been tasked to do research on students’ satisfaction in the College. Which research method do you think would be more suitable for your research? Why? Provide justification for your choice.

Qualitative research is more suitable as the topic isn't about proving whether students are satisfied or unsatisfied with the college. It would be better to know students' opinions and experiences instead of only analysing data or figures to give a conclusion on the topic . The topic is not a hypothesis so qualitative research would be better.

2. If you are asked to find out the relationship between age and religiosity in the UK, which research method would you choose? Explain.

I would choose quantitative research. It is much easier and efficient to conduct a mass questionnaire on the general population, age and religion can be easily calculated, predicted and documented in forms of empirical data. Quantitative data is conducive to this type of analysis because it's numeric can analyse the relationship between age and religion easier.

Compared to quantitative research, qualitative research focuses more about the inner quality of one's decisions, to understand the trends and meanings of natural actions. It’s flexible and iterative. But the problem is that percentages in population do not require the understanding behind's one's age and religious motives.

Therefore I believe quantitative research will suffice for figuring out the relationship between age and religion since it can easily document and accurately analyse the patterns.

3. Write a research hypothesis for this topic: Substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment. Is this a quantitative or a qualitative research?

The topic of substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment can be considered to be qualitative research as it seeks to explore the topic in a descriptive way rather than to find a result backed by reliable evidence. The topic is less about proving a statement that is true or false and more about going in-depth in order to enlarge a topic's understanding. Some data collection strategies can include interviews and biographies in order to understand their point of view more in depth.

4.What kind of data collection strategy would you use to conduct the research on this topic: How has freelancing become a new field of interest among the youth in 2020; In-depth-interview or closed-ended questioner? Why?

the research is answered based on quantitative research because it asked something to be proven with statistics, numbers or data.

# data[].attributes.body
1.I would choose the questionnaire method. Because it is simple and easy to operate, it is economical and cost-effective. Investigators are not required to enter the household to collect information from one survey to another. All respondents asked questions using the same questionnaire, which is beneficial to the comparative analysis of respondents in the same situation, to investigate respondents with different consciousnesses from society, and to analyze individual situations.
2.I will choose Qualitative research, because the research on the relationship between age and religious belief requires a large number of observations and interviews to collect data, analyze literature and cultural records, and use visual materials or some personal experience.
3.I choose qualitative research, because it requires statistics and collection to get results, and qualitative research redeems the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data.
4.If I'm going to conduct research on how freelancing has become a new field of interest among the youth in 2020, I would choose to apply the data collection strategy of closed-ended questionnaires. The reason for choosing this strategy is because it is efficient in grabbing a large amount of data when the target group has an easy accessibility on answering questions. It helps with getting measurable and quantitative data and having a better understanding on how freelancing as a new field of interest produces positive and negative impacts on society.

1.qualitative research is going to be focusing on things that are up for discussion and for debate it is going to be describing a lot of things it will use surveys and observations and interviews along with also looking at artefacts.   quantitative on the other hand is just using numbers they are looking farthings to prove something right or wrong.

2.qualitative research, a hypothesis is used in the form of a clear statement concerning the problem to be investigated. Unlike in quantitative research, where hypotheses are only developed to be tested, qualitative research can lead to hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating outcomes.

3.A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Assumptions are generally used for quantitative research. In qualitative research, it is unrealistic to propose hypotheses in advance, because whether a researcher subjectively wishes or does not wish to make hypotheses, a priori knowledge cannot be speculated about.

4.The key methods are questionnaire survey method, experimental method, existing data method, observation method, and content analysis method.

1. Qualitative and Quantitative research differs in many respects. Primarily, the purpose of the former is to test hypotheses, probing into cause and effect and make predictions, while the latter is to understand and interpret social interactions. Quantitative research also focuses on collecting quantifiable data such as numbers and statistics, while qualitative research collects data such as words, images and objects.

2.A hypothesis is a proposed explanation of a phenomenon, assuming that its consequences are real. In this case, try to find evidence to support the accuracy of the hypothesis. the hypothesis always be tried to prove or disprove by quantitative.

3.A variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. A variable may also be called a data item. Age, sex, business income and expenses, country of birth, capital expenditure, etc. Experiments often produce quantitative data because they are about measuring things. Quantitative research involves the process of objectively collecting and analyzing numerical data to describe, predict, or control a variable of interest

4.Qualitative research takes observations by recording what you have seen, heard, or encountered in detailed field notes. Interviews are also involved by personally asking people questions in one-on-one conversations. Thus, Focus groups are also the key methods on collecting datas by asking questions and generating discussion among a group of people.

Quantitative research applies surveys by asking questions of a group of people in-person, over-the-phone or online. A structured questionnaire are also take part for getting answers from target groups or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques

1. Qualitative research is considered to be particularly suitable for exploratory research (e.g. during the pilot stage of a research project, for example). It is primarily used to discover and gain an in-depth understanding of individual experiences, thoughts, opinions, and trends, and to dig deeper into the problem at hand.

Quantitative research is all about numbers and figures. It is used to quantify opinions, attitudes, behaviours, and other defined variables with the goal to support or refute hypotheses about a specific phenomenon, and potentially contextualise the results from the study sample in a wider population (or specific groups). As quantitative research explicitly specifies what is measured and how it is measured in order to uncover patterns.

In a nutshell, qualitative research generates textual data. Quantitative research, on the contrary, produces “numerical data” or information that can be converted into numbers.

2. In qualitative research, a hypothesis is used in the form of a clear statement concerning the problem to be investigated. Unlike in quantitative research, where hypotheses are only developed to be tested, qualitative research can lead to hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating outcomes.

3. Variables are factors used to prove a hypothesis, which is used in quantitative research.

Quantitative Variables - Variables whose values result from counting or measuring something.

Qualitative Variables - Variables that are not measurement variables. Their values do not result from measuring or counting. Designator - Values that are used to identify individuals in a table.

4. There are a variety of methods of data collection in qualitative research, including observations, textual or visual analysis (eg from books or videos) and interviews (individual or group). However, the most common methods used, particularly in healthcare research, are interviews and focus groups.

There are several methods by which you can collect quantitative data, which include: Experiments, controlled observations, surveys, interviews

1.What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative research?

Qualitative research uses qualitative data: interpretation-based, descriptive, relating to language

Quantitative research uses quantitative data: Numbers-based, countable, measurable

Qualitative research focuses on the qualities of users and the actions that drive the numbers. It's a descriptive, subjective research method.

Quantitative research is based on the collection and interpretation of numeric data. It focuses on measuring and generalising results.

2.What is a hypothesis? Is it used in quantitative or qualitative research?

a hypothesis or proposed explanation based on minimal facts that serve as a jumping-off point for further investigation. In qualitative research, a hypothesis is used in the form of a clear statement concerning the problem to be investigated. Unlike in quantitative research, where hypotheses are only developed to be tested, qualitative research can lead to hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating outcomes.

3.What are the variables? Are they used in quantitative or qualitative research?

A variable is a quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment. It uses quantitative research.

4.What are key methods of data collection in qualitative and quantitative research?

Qualitative:

Open-ended surveys and questionnaires.

Focus groups.

Observation.

Case studies.

One on one interviews.

Quantitative:

Experiments.

Controlled observations.

Surveys: paper, kiosk, mobile, questionnaires.

Longitudinal studies.

Polls.

1) Qualitative is focused on things up for discussion and debate. Quantitative is focused on the definite proof of something related to concrete facts that you can't fight.
2) Hypothesis are predictions of research, which can be answered with quantitative research. Qualitative research as well because on qualitative research, a hypothesis is used in the form of a clear statement concerning the problem to be investigated
3) Variables are factors used to prove a hypothesis, which is used in quantitative research.
4) Qualitative gets data from newspapers, journals, and observations. They get data from a wide range of sources. Quantitative gets data from numbers, statistics, and concrete facts.
