Characteristics of Quantitative Research Background of the Research
1.Objective- impartial, unbiased and neutral It identifies and describes the history and nature of a well-defined research problem
2.Clearly defined questions (What, Which, how much) with reference to the existing literature.
3.Structured research instruments (surveys, questionnaires, software) Statement of the Problem
4.Numerical data and statistical treatment (unbiased results) -reflected to the research title
5.Large sample size (represents a population) -The problem must not be answerable by yes or no
6.Replication (high reliability stable and consistent -must be arranged in the flow of the study
7.Future outcomes (new concepts and further studies) Research questions
