1.Quantitative research focuses on the quantitative aspects of things; qualitative research focuses on the material aspects of things. Quantitative research is intended to be more precise in its characterisation. Quantitative research is mainly based on realistic data from surveys, while qualitative research is based on a wealth of historical facts and empirical material. Quantitative research uses empirical measurements, statistical analysis and modelling, while qualitative research uses logical reasoning and historical comparisons.
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.A qualitative variable, also called a categorical variable, is a variable that isn't numerical. It describes data that fits into categories. For example: Eye colors (variables include: blue, green, brown, hazel)
4.Generally speaking, questionnaires, surveys, documents and records are quantitative, while interviews, focus groups, observations and oral history are qualitative,Ethnography / participant,observation,Qualitative interviewing,Focus groups]]> 2021-11-17 13:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/a46lx8fs7gfd0vsz/wish/1896775268 Group 1 xyan24 https://padlet.com/usictech/a46lx8fs7gfd0vsz/wish/1896782895
  • 1.Quantitative relies more on factual testing and data, with mostly closed questions, to arrive at conclusions. It requires many respondents to analyze data through statistical and mathematical analysis and the results are usually presented in tables, numbers or charts. Whereas qualitative explores ideas, classifications, and scenarios, with more words, fewer tables, and graphs, and more open-ended questions. It requires a relatively small number of respondents. Analyze data by classifying, categorizing, and interpreting and the results are usually written.
  • 2. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation used for observation. A hypothesis is an educated guess. Scientists make a reasonable hypothesis and then design an experiment to see if it's true.In qualitative research, assumptions are used in the form of explicit statements about the question to be investigated. 
  • 3.A variable is any factor that can be controlled, changed, or measured in an experiment. There are several types of variables in scientific experiments, independent variables, dependent variables, controlled variables and independent variables.Variables are used in quantitative research.
  • 4.
  • 1. Data obtained from source. This can be a face-to-face interview, a survey sent to your audience, or even a course. In other words, you are the first person or group to interact with data and draw conclusions from it.
  • 2. Qualitative data collection is descriptive information. It is used to understand and describe problems, emotions, or individuals/groups. It can be recorded and measured, but not quantified in numbers.
  • 3. Quantitative data collection is information collected in digital form, so it can be easily sorted and ranked. These data are necessary for calculations and further statistical analysis.
  • 4. Use information that has been collected, analyzed, and constructed by other people or groups. Research papers, books, other websites, etc., can be considered primary data and secondary data when you use them.

In the study of different levels, quantitative research is to be more accurate qualitative. Different basis, quantitative research is mainly based on the actual data obtained from the survey, while qualitative research is based on a large number of historical facts and life experience materials. Quantitative research mainly uses empirical measurement, statistical analysis and model building. Qualitative research mainly uses logical reasoning, historical comparison and other methods. The subject bases are different. Quantitative research is based on probability theory and social statistics, while qualitative research is based on logic and history.
    2. （1）A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a precise, testable statement of what the researcher(s) predict will be the outcome of the study. It is stated at the start of the study. （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.(1)Qualitative research refers to the observation and in-depth research on cultural phenomena, human activities and behavior. Qualitative research is usually used in social science research.
    4.the methods of data collection in qualitative research are focus groups , qualitative interviewing, ethnography, participant observation and on the other hand the collection of quantitative research comes from statics and numbers for example 70% of the population aged 15-25 eat junk food.]]>     2021-11-17 13:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/a46lx8fs7gfd0vsz/wish/1896797556     Group 3 ((Moliy) Zimo Liu, (Grace) Yirong Lei, Aya Salama) asalama11 https://padlet.com/usictech/a46lx8fs7gfd0vsz/wish/1896799238 1.  Qualitative: a) text-based. 
     b) more in-depth information on a few cases. 
    c) Unstructured or semi-structured response options.
    d) No statistical tests.
    Quantitative: a) Number-based
    b) Less in-depth but more breadth of information across a large number of cases.
    c) Fixed response options
    d) Statistical tests are used for analysis.
    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 any factors that can control the change in the experiment, and variables are used in quantitative research.
    4. Quantitative data collection methods include focus groups, observation, written records, and individual interviews; while qualitative data is presented in a numerical form, which can be used for evaluation and analysis.
