Quantitative Research Overview

The document discusses quantitative research, describing its key characteristics as using numerical forms, objective thinking, statistical methods, and measurement. Quantitative research aims to objectively understand people, things, places, and events through reliable measurement instruments and statistical analysis of data. It is classified as experimental research using true experiments, quasi-experiments, single-subject designs, or pre-experiments, or as non-experimental research using surveys, historical analysis, observation, correlation, or description. The importance of quantitative research lies in producing precise, in-depth results through controlled manipulation of research conditions and the scientific method.

QUANTITATIVE

RESEARCH
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Expressions like numerical forms,
objective thinking, statistical methods,
and measurement signal the existence of
quantitative research.
• “NUMERICAL”- denoting a number or
symbol to express how many, how much,
or what rank
CHARACTERISTIC
• “OBJECTIVENESS”- real or factual, not
the emotional or cognitive existence
of the object, matters greatly to the
artist, quantitative research is
analogous to scientific or
experimental thinking
CLASSIFICATION
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
- True Experimental
- Quasi-Experimental
 Matched comparative group
 Time series
 Counterbalanced quasi-experimental
- Single subject
- Pre-experimental
CLASSIFICATION
NON-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
- Survey
- Historical
- Observational
- Correlational
- Descriptive
- Comparative research
IMPORTANCE
• Lies greatly in the production of results that should reflect
precise measurement and in-depth analysis of data.
• It is useful in obtaining an objective understanding of people,
things, places, and events in this world.
• Requiring the use of reliable measurement instruments and
statistical methods.
• It is an effective method to obtain information about specified
personality traits of a group member or of the group as a
whole as regards the extent of the relationship of their
characteristics and the reason behind the instability of some
people’s characteristics.
