-an objective systematic empirical investigation of observable phenomena through
the use of computational techniques. CHARACTERISTICS 1. Objective - 2. Clearly defined question - questionnaires, formulating your own research title. 3. Structured research instruments - materials that are available to use in conducting research. [e.g.] laptops, tools, questionnaires. 4. Numerical Data - tables, charts, pie, diagram. 5. Large Sample Sizes - create your own formula. 6. Replication - proofreading, reviewing, typographies. 7. Future outcomes - ~FINISH PRODUCT~ ADVANTAGES of QR - it is your objective - it is your statistics which you'll use to facilitate your formula. - numerical data can be analyzed in an easy way. - quantitative research is replicable. DISADVANTAGES of QR - requires a lot number of respondents. - expensive, costly. - info are usually ignored (don't be contented, "di pwede ang pwede na.") - your studies should be connected and generalized to all audiences/respondents. - if not done seriously or incorrectly may not be accurate. - when the research is done make sure that 5. Causal Comparative - focus in facts, this is also known as the ex facto. 6. Experimental Research - experiment within the gathered data. Specially to explain the cost and effect relationship. Scientific methods, hypothesis.
