🔢 Quantitative research focuses on quantifiable data and uses statistical techniques to quantify opinions and information.

📊 Data collection methods for quantitative research include structured questionnaires, individual interviews, and quantitative surveys.

🔍 The priority of quantitative research is to obtain numerical results to evaluate individuals' behaviors and opinions.

📊 Quantitative research uses structured questionnaires and interviews to collect opinions and information that are later analyzed statistically.

🔍 The key aspect of a good quantitative research is defining a representative sample of the population being studied.

📝 Quantitative research allows for measuring and quantifying the responses of participants to confirm or challenge the initial hypothesis.

🔍 The choice to use quantitative research depends on the research problem and the need for quantitative data analysis.

💡 The selection of data collection techniques, such as questionnaires and interviews, is crucial for quantitative research.

📊 The selection of a representative sample is essential to ensure valid and comprehensive research results.

📊 Quantitative research involves analyzing data using numbers, tables, and graphs.

🔍 Qualitative research focuses on the subjective nature of the analyzed object and aims to understand behavior rather than quantify results.

🔎 Qualitative research is used when the goal is to understand the reasons behind certain phenomena or opinions.

🔍 Qualitative research uses various methods for data collection, such as questionnaires, interviews, and observations.

🧠 Qualitative research values subjective interpretation and allows for in-depth understanding and hypothesis formulation.
