Quantitative Research vs. Qualitative Research

Direction: Differentiate quantitative from qualitative research based on the given

standards. Write your answer on the appropriate column.

Standards Quantitative Research Qualitative Research

Mental Survey of Reality

Cause-Effect Relationship

Researcher’s involvement
with the object or subject of
the study
Expression of data, data
analysis, and findings
Research plan

Behaviour toward research

aspects/conditions
Obtaining Knowledge

Purpose

Data-analysis technique

Style of expression

Sampling technique

Quantitative research denotes numerical forms, objective thinking,

statistical methods, and measurement. It excludes your own thoughts and
feelings about the subject or object. Expressing meaning through numerals or
sets of symbols indicates specificity, particularity, or exactness of something.

Quantitative research makes you focus your mind on specific things by means
of using statistical tools in the collection and study of numerical data. You use
mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to study and
express relationships between quantities or magnitudes given by numbers or symbols.
Quantitative research seeks to find answers to questions starting with how many, how
much, to what extent, and the like.
