3. Quantitative research puts emphasis on proof, rather than discovery. _______________
4. Normative research is conducted by researcher whose aim would be to find out the direction and/or
relationship between different variables or group of respondents under study. _________________
5. Qualitative research requires a large number of respondents. It assumes that the larger the sample is, the
more statistically accurate the findings are. ___________________
6. Evaluation describes the status of a phenomenon at a particular time. It describes without value judgment
a situation that prevents. ____________________
7. Correlational is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction and/or relationship
between different variables or groups of respondents under study. _____________________
8. Methodological is the implementation of a variety of methodologies that forms a critical part of achieving
the goal of developing a scaled-matched approach, where data from different disciplines can be
integrated. ___________________
9. One characteristics of quantitative research is that its method can be repeated to verify findings in another
setting, thus, reinforcing validity findings. _____________________
10. In quantitative experiments it filters out external factors, if properly designed, and so the results gained
can be seen, as real and unbiased.

II. Put a tick (/) if it describes the characteristics of a Quantitative Research.

1. Data is in the form of words, pictures or objects.


2. The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments.
3. It is not based upon numerical measurements and does not use numbers and
statistical methods as key research indicators and tools.
4. It tends to be associated with small-scale studies and a holistic perspective, often
studying a single occurrence or small number of occurrences/case studies in
great depth.
5. The research study can usually be replicated or repeated, given its high
reliability.
6. Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often arranged in tables, charts,
figures, or other non-textual forms.
7. Emphasis is on discovery rather than proof.
8. The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the
population.
9. It tends to be associated with emergent research design, using a wide range of
approaches
