COMPARISON BETWEEN QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
COMPARISON: QUALITATIVE RESEARCH AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE Usually starts with neither a theory nor hypothesis about the relationship between two or more variables. Usually concerned with generating hypothesis from data rather than testing a hypothesis. Uses structured research instruments like questionnaires or schedules. Uses either unstructured or semi-structured instruments.
COMPARISON: QUALITATIVE RESEARCH AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE Uses large sample sizes that are representatives of the population. Uses small sizes chosen purposely. Has high output replicability. Has high validity.
COMPARISON: QUALITATIVE RESEARCH AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE Methods include census, survey, experiments and secondary analysis. Methods include field research, case study, and secondary analysis.
3. It focuses on gathering information from people who can provide the richest insights into the phenomenon or interest. 4. Collection of data is continuous until saturation, or when it reaches the point where no new information is revealed with respect to the key themes emerging from the data. 5. Qualitative data collection examines everyday life in its natural context or in an uncontrolled naturalistic setting.
COMMON TYPES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
2. Ethnographic study. This involves the collection and analysis of data about cultural groups or minorities. Example: What is the demographic profile and migratory adaptations of squatter families in Barangay Santolan, Pasig City? 3. Historical study. This study is concerned with the identification, location evaluation, and synthesis of data from the past events. Example: What were the roles of women in the Katipunan?
4. Case study. It is an in-depth examination of an individual, groups of people, or an institution. Example: How do cancer survivors look at life? 5. Grounded theory study. This method involves comparing collected units of data against one another until categories, properties, and hypothesis that state relations between theses categories and properties emerge. Example: Ten school counselors were given structured interviews to help determine how their professional identity is formed.
7. Critical qualitative research. This type of research seeks to bring about change and empower individuals by describing and critiquing the social, cultural, and psychological perspectives on present-day contexts. 8. Postmodern research. As opposed to the traditional forms of qualitative analysis, the approach of this type of research seeks to analyze facts that have been established as truths, the ability of research and science to discover truth, and all generalizations and typologies. 9. Basic interpretative qualitative study. This is used when a researcher is interested in identifying how individuals give meaning to a situation or phenomenon.
