In this study, your aim is to find
out the relationship between one
variable to another.
Which is the independent variable
(the cause) and the dependent
variable (the effect).
Expressions in numerical form,
objectivity of data, and the use of
statistical methods.
Quantitative research
focuses on numeric, specific
and detailed data and
deductive reasoning.

Quantitative research can

either be experimental or
non-experimental.
An Experimental study
establishes causality and often
used when an intervention is
being studied, whereas the Non-
Experimental only establishes
the association or connection
between variables.
Researcher has a clearly defined
research question to which
objective answers are sought.

Investigate causal relationships.

 Thedata is usually gathered using
structured research instruments.
Researchers uses tools, such as
questionnaires or computer
software, to collect numerical data.

 The results are based on larger

sample sizes that are representative
of the population.
Data are in the form of numbers
and statistics, often arranged in
tables, charts, figures, or other
non-textual forms.

The research study can usually

be replicated or repeated, given
its high reliability.

 Ingenerating evidence, it relies on
precise measurement and
interpretation of data through the
use of statistical methods.

 Thistype of approach can show the

difference and relationship between
characteristics, and also can
determine the effectivity of a
specific intervention.
 Can be used when large quantities
of data need to be collected.
 The result is usually numerical
(quantifiable) and hence considered
more “objective”.
 It can provide a clear and
quantitative measure to be used for
grants and proposals.
 Results need to be calculated and
analyzed thru the use of excel,
Access, or data analysis software
(such as SPSS), that may not be
always available.
 The larger the sample, the more time
it takes to analyze the data and
analyze results.
 The larger the sample the more time
it takes to collect data.

 Itis used to determine the outcome
of a specific intervention.

 The students conduct the study by

providing a specific treatment to
one group and withholding it from
another to determine how both
groups scored on an outcome.
 Itmeans the researcher has control
over the experiment.
 Who, where, when and how is the
experiment going to be conducted.
 This involves an experimental group
and a control group, that must have
the similar qualities. The
experimental group receives the
intervention and the control group
remains un-manipulated.
Depends on how the participants
were recruited for the study, if
there is no randomization in the
sampling procedure then the
study automatically becomes a
quasi-experimental.
 Seeks to discover the answers to
problem by describing the data
quantitatively or numerically.
 It determines the relationship of
variables but is incapable of
establishing the cause and effect.
 Data is collected through surveys or
structured interviews, observations,
review of documents and so on.
