Using internet resources, list down five examples of quantitative research papers and
explain why you consider them to be as such. Base your answers on the characteristics
of quantitative research.
1. Assessment of Secondary School Students’ Knowledge, Attitude and Practice
towards Waste Management in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

owledge_Attitude_and_Practice_towards_Waste_Management_in_Ibadan_Oyo_State_
Nigeria
I considered this as one of the examples of quantitative research because it
shows and deals with numerical data and it has the characteristics of quantitative
research such as controllability, generalizability, and replicability. Controllability because
the dependent variable and independent variable are identified and can be controlled,
generalizability cause is based on the larger sample size, they use a random sample
based also from the entire population, and last is replicability because the other
researchers can use this study as a basis for further studies.
2. A Quantitative Study of the Impact of Social Media Reviews on Brand Perception
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1710/1710.08836.pdf
I also consider this as an example of quantitative research because it uses
numbers in order for the data to be reported and it is also test hypotheses. It has the
characteristics of quantitative research which are the controllability, generalizability, and
objectivity.
3. A Quantitative Study Comparing Traditional High Schools and High Schools
Implementing Freshman Academies in the State of Tennessee.
https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3190&context=etd
I still considered this as one of the examples of quantitative research because it
shows and deals with numerical data, the author present a graph through table form
and also this study test hypotheses. The characteristics of quantitative research in this
study are controllability, generalizability, and objectivity. Controllability because the
variables are identified and can be control, generalizability because it uses random
sample based from the entire population, and finally objectivity because the results of
the data are observable and measureable.
4. Internet Use and its Effect on Senior High School Students in Wa Municipality of
Ghana.
https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5094&context=libphilprac
The same as the number one above this is the examples of quantitative research
because it shows and deals with numerical data and it has the characteristics of
quantitative research such as controllability, generalizability, and replicability.
Controllability because the variables are identified and can be control, generalizability
because it uses random sample based from the entire population, and finally
replicability because the results can be transferable to other researchers for innovations
or inventions.
5. TIME MANAGEMENT AND STUDY SKILLS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT -
ATHLETE
https://www.academia.edu/8605788/TIME_MANAGEMENT_AND_STUDY_SKILLS_OF
_HIGH_SCHOOL_STUDENT_ATHLETE
I still consider this as an example of quantitative research because it uses
numbers in order for the data to be reported and it is also test hypotheses. It has the
characteristics of quantitative research which are the controllability, generalizability, and
objectivity.
