    This document discusses three key features - reliability, external validity, and internal validity - that must be evaluated in quantitative research. It explains that reliability evaluates consistency in measurements, external validity evaluates whether results can be generalized to the wider population, and internal validity evaluates whether the research actually measures what it aims to. These three features are important for ensuring data quality and replicability, and that research results are accurate.

    Activity 5

    Different features that must be evaluated in quantitative research are reliability,


    external validity, and internal validity. The reliability of research can be evaluated by
    understanding what has been done to ensure that the research is consistent and how
    consistent are the measurements used. External validity can be evaluated by knowing if
    the results of the research can be applied to the wider population while internal validity
    can be evaluated by knowing does the research measure what it is supposed to be
    measuring. These three are the most important in research because this ensures that
    data are sound and replicable, and the results are accurate.
