QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and MEDICAL EDUCATION- According to research one of the

research methods used in the healthcare field is quantitative research. Quantitative research
method is widely used in the healthcare field to quantify behaviors, attitudes, opinions and
other important variables from a large sample of data collection. Quantitative research in
medical education tends to be predominantly observational research based on surveys or
correlational studies. The designs test interventions like curriculum, teaching-learning process,
or assessment with an experimental group. Either a comparison or controlled group learners
may allow researchers to overcome validity concerns and infer potential cause-effect
generalizations. Researchers are using to cope with the emerging trends in recent times

4. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & ACCOUNTING, BUSINESS and MANAGEMENT (ABM)-

Researches can help design a new product or service, figuring out what is needed and ensure
the development of product is highly targeted towards demand. Businessmen can also utilize
research results to guarantee sufficient distribution of their products and decide where they
need to increase their product distribution. Conducting researches can also help a business
determine whether now is the proper time to open another branch or whether it needs to apply
for a new loan. It may also help’s a small business decide if a procedure or strategy should be
change to meet the requirements of the customer base. Research is important for any
organization to remain in the market. The primary function of research in ABM is to correctly
determine its customers and their preferences, establish the enterprise in the most feasible
location, deliver quality goods and services, analyze what the competitors are doing and find
ways on how to continuously satisfy the growing and varied needs of the clients.

5. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, and MATHEMATICS-

Medical practitioners, for example, conduct researches to obtain significant information about
diseases trends and risk factors, results of various health interventions, patterns of care and
health care cost and use. The different approaches to research provide complementary insights.
Researchers help in determining the effectiveness and even side effect of drugs and therapies in
different populations and various institutions. It is also necessary in evaluating experiences in
clinical practice in order to develop mechanisms for best practices and to ensure high quality
patient care. Researchers in these fields ultimately aim for man’s longevity. As for engineers,
architects, and other builders, research helps in providing designs which are creatively beautiful
and at the same time give more convenience and efficiency as they utilize modern technology to
 adapt to the ever changing society. New materials and procedures may be developed so as to
further strengthen the structural materials than can with stand various calamities and disasters.

First, decide how you will collect data. Your methods depend on what type of data you need to
answer your research question:

 Descriptive vs. experimental: Will you take measurements of something as it is, or will
you perform an experiment?

Second, decide how you will analyze the data.

 For quantitative data, you can use statistical analysis methods to test relationships
between variables.

 the society and to enhance the knowledge about subjects that were not touched many
times before. 
 Qualitative vs. quantitative: Will your data take the form of words or numbers?
 Primary vs. secondary: Will you collect original data yourself, or will you use data that
has already been collected by someone else?


 Research as a scientific tool helps these researchers to measure sample data with as

Its main characteristics are:

 For qualitative data, you can use methods such as thematic analysis to interpret patterns
and meanings in the data.

The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments. The results are based on
larger sample sizes that are representative of the population. The research study can usually be
replicated or repeated, given its high reliability.

 minimum as possible biases and much higher accuracy rate. This helps them to
confidently put forth a conclusion to the society knowing that the data gathered is legit
and the results drawn from the studies are systematic and statistically sensible. 
 Researchers adopt various methods of research which best suits their study. In this article
we will be seeing various types of research methodology that are classified based on their
common features and use.
