1. Large Sample Size
- The first and foremost characteristic of
quantitative research is the large sample
size to conduct research. Quantitative
research is done on a large number of
audiences to ensure reliability.
2. Structured Research Methods
- Structural research methods like
questionnaires, polls, and surveys are
used to conduct quantitative
research. In- depth information
about the preferences of the
audience can be drawn using these
structured research methods.
3. Highly Reliable Outcome
- The outcome of quantitative research
methods is quite reliable, as participants
of the research face close-ended questions.
Therefore, there are fewer chances of
getting vague information or wrong
information from the participants.
4. Reusable Outcome
- Another characteristic of quantitative
research is that the outcome of
quantitative research can be used
multiple times. Data collected for one
research purpose can be used for the
prior study of another research problem.
5. Close-ended questions
- Close-ended question’s answers are more
specific and right to the question than the open-
ended questions. Responses to open- ended
questions are more detailed and scattered, and it
requires real skills to pick out the answers that
you need.
6. Numerical Outcome
- The outcome of quantitative research is
always in numerical form. For example,
the result of research can be represented
in percentage, range of numbers. A
numerical output is easy to read and
understand, and it is easy to deduce a
conclusion from the numerical outcome
than a detailed result.
 7. Generalization of Outcome
- The outcome of quantitative research can
be generalized easily for the whole
population. The reason behind this is that
quantitative research is conducted on a
large sample of the population. A decision
can be taken for the entire population
based on the outcome of the sample
population.
8. Prior study

-The outcome of quantitative research

can be used for a previous study of
another research. The results of
quantitative research are more reliable
than qualitative research and can be
used easily to deduce conclusions.

RESEARCH PROCESS

Presented by: JESSA L. ABANTE

7 Steps in Quantitative
Research
 ●Supported by
literature
●Significant
1.Identify the ●Timely
Research Problem
●Novel
●Specific and clear
●Researchable
 ●Research 2.Define Objectives
objectives should
and Variables
summarize what you
hope will be
achieved by the
study and identify
variables to be
measured
 ●The choice of 3.Select Appropriate
the appropriate
Research Design
study design
depends upon the
way the research
question is
stated.
 4.Select Sample
●Sampling method that allows
researchers to infer information
about a population based on results
from a subject of population, without
having to investigate every
individual.
●Data collection
is the process of 5.Collect Data
gathering and
measuring
information on
variables of
interest.
6.Analyze the Data

● Data analysis is the process of

inspecting, cleaning, transforming,
and modeling data to discover useful
information.
7.Present Results

● Write your research paper to

show others the information
you were able to obtain and
how it relates to your
hypothesis.
