perspective of those who experience it,
✓ 2. Interested not only in examining the phenomenon but also its
causes
х 3. Immerses oneself and views meaning more context-and time-
specific, and in most cases, not generalizable

What I Have Learned

Your non-stop writing starts now….

Write your concise learning about the following:

1. Characteristics of Quantitative Research
Quantitative Research is a research strategy that uses numerical data in
generalizing about a given question or topic, results are based on large sample
sizes that represents the population through the use of form of surveys and
questionnaires.

2. Strengths of Quantitative Research

Quantitative Research is objective because it provides numerical data
that can be easily interpreted and that makes quantitative research reliable and
valid.

3. Weaknesses of Quantitative Research

The down side of quantitative research is that it can be very expensive because it

6
 requires a large number of respondents. It doesn’t capture the social phenomena because
the questionnaires do not necessarily reflect how the respondents/participants truly feel or
their personal opinions about the questions being asked.
