The document compares and contrasts quantitative and qualitative research methods across several dimensions:
- Quantitative methods use experimental designs, seek facts and causes, use measurement and statistical analysis, are deductive and interventionist, view the researcher as absent, take a reductionist approach, and consider science an incremental process anyone can do.
- Qualitative methods use field research like ethnography, seek to understand individual experiences, use discourse as data, are inductive and naturalistic, view the researcher as the instrument, take a holistic approach, and consider research an art that takes practice to do well.
Both quantitative and qualitative methods can be empirical.
