    1. Qualitative research uses words to understand experiences through observations and descriptions, while quantitative research uses numbers to confirm or test theories through statistics. 2. Qualitative research is exploratory to gather in-depth insights on topics not well understood, while quantitative research establishes generalizable facts through experiments and surveys. 3. Qualitative research uses small sample sizes and unstructured data collection like interviews and literature reviews, while quantitative research uses large sample sizes and highly structured data collection methods like surveys and observations recorded as numbers.

    QUALITATIVE RESEARCH AS AN INDUCTIVE PROCESS

    - Researchers gather data to build concepts, hypotheses, or theories.


    - Researchers build toward theory from observations and intuitive understandings.
    - The pieces of information from interviews, observations or documents are combined and ordered into larger themes as the researcher works from
    the particular to the general.

    Begins by collecting data that is relevant to the topic of interest.


    Once an amount of data has been collected the researcher will then start getting a general view of the data, looking for patterns and working to
    develop a theory that could explain those patterns.

    That is to say, researchers start with a set of observations and move from those particular experiences to a more general set of prepositions about
    those experiences, they move from data to theory, or from the specific to the general.
