QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
 It aims to predict, establish facts and examine hypothesis that
have already been stated, through finding evidence which
supports or does not support on existing hypothesis.
 Is a way of making any phenomenon or any sensory

experience clearer or more meaningful by gathering and
examining facts and information about such person, thing,
place, or event appealing to your senses.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
 You use mathematical operations of addition, subtraction,
division, and multiplication to study and express relationships
between quantities or magnitudes shown by numbers or
symbols.
 Seeks to find answers to questions starting with how many,

how much, how long, to what extent, and the like. Answers to
these questions come in numerals, percentages, and
fractions, among others.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
 LARGE SAMPLE SIZE. To obtain more meaningful
statistical result, the data must come from a large sample
size.
 OBJECTIVITY. Data gathering and analysis of results
are done accurately, objectively, and are unaffected by
the researcher’s intuition and personal guesses.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
 CONCISE VISUAL PRESENTATION. Data is
numerical which makes presentation through graphs,
charts, and tables possible and with better conveyance
and interpretation
 FASTER DATA ANALYSIS. The use of a statistical
tools gives way for a less time consuming data
analysis.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
 GENERALIZED DATA. Data taken from a sample can
be applied to the population if sampling is done
accordingly, i.e., sufficient size and random samples were
taken.
 HIGH REPLICABILITY. The Quantitative method
can be repeated to verify findings enhancing its
validity, free from false or immature conclusions
CHARACTERISTICS OF
 FAST AND EASY DATA COLLECTION. Depending on
the type of data needed, collection can be quick and
easy. Quantitative research uses standardized research
instruments that allow the researcher to collect data
from a large sample size efficiently. For instance, a
single survey form can be administered simultaneously
to collect various measurable characteristics like age,
gender, socio-economic status, etc.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
 RELIABLE DATA. Data is taken and analyzed
objectively from a sample as a representative of the
population, making it more credible and reliable for
policymaking and decision making.
ADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
1. Very objective
2. Numerical and quantifiable data can be used to predict outcomes.
3. Findings are generalizable to the population.
4. There is conclusive establishment of cause and effect
5. Fast and easy data analysis using statistical software.
6. Fast and easy data gathering
7. Quantitative research can be replicated or repeated.
8. Validity and reliability can be established.
DISADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
1. It lacks the necessary data to explore a problem or concept in depth.
2. It does not provide comprehensive explanation of human
experiences.
3. Some information cannot be described by numerical data such as
feelings, and beliefs.
4. The research design is rigid and not very flexible.
DISADVANTAGES OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
5. The participants are limited to choose only from the given responses.
6. The respondents may tend to provide inaccurate responses.
7. A large sample size makes data collection more costly
KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
1. Descriptive Research
2. Correlational Research
3. Causal Comparative Research
4. Experimental Research
 RESEARCH
DESCRIPTIVE RESEACH is used to describe a particular
phenomenon by observing it as it occurs in nature. There is
no experimental manipulation, and the researcher does not
start with a hypothesis. The goal of descriptive research is
only to describe the person or object of the study. An
example of descriptive research design is “the determination
of the different kinds of physical activities and how often
high school students do it during the quarantine period.”
 RESEARCH
CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH identifies the
relationship between variables. Data is collected by
observation since it does not consider the cause and
effect, for example, the relationship between the
amount of physical activity done and student
academic achievement.
 RESEARCH
CAUSAL - COMPARATIVE RESEARCH looks to
unearth cause and effect relationship. This research is
not conducted between the two groups on each other.
Rather than look only for a statistical relationship
between two variables, it tries to identify, specifically,
how the different groups are affected by the same
circumstance. It involves comparison
RESEARCH
 EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH like quasi- experimental
is used to establish the cause-and-effect relationship of
two or more variables. This design provides a more
conclusive result because it uses random assignment of
subjects and experimental manipulations. For example, a
comparison of the effects of various blended learning to
the reading comprehension of elementary pupils.
