Qualitative
research
complements
quantitative data
Interview and observation are the
common instruments used in the conduct
of a qualitative study. Such instruments
can provide qualitative data that can be
utilized as a support for any quantitative
data appearing in a study, hence, a more
reliable result will be ensured.

8. STRENGTHS
Qualitative research
provides more
detailed information
to explain complex
issues.
Since this type of research study requires the
researcher to immerse himself/herself in the
phenomenon under investigation, direct
experiences can be acquired. Similarly,
considering “information rich” participant/s, as
well as utilizing interview and observation as
qualitative research instruments, may enable
the researcher to gather more accurate data
needed in explaining a complex phenomenon.

9. STRENGTHS
Qualitative
research is cost
efficient.
Small number of participants is usually
considered in qualitative research. Hence,
lessresources willbe needed toaccomplish the
study. Likewise, interview schedule and
observation checklist as qualitative research
tools demand the researcher to spend less
resources unlike questionnaires as a primary
tool utilized in quantitative research.

10. WEAKNESSES
Qualitative
research cannot
generalize the
findings to the study
population
The use of a small number of
participants in qualitative research
may result in limited responses. Thus,
findings of the study might not be
possibly generalized to a larger
population. Replication of the study is
often suggested.

11. WEAKNESSES
Qualitative
research is more
difficult to analyze
Unlike quantitative research whichdeals
withnumeric dataand canbe interpreted
through statistical formula, qualitative
research presents non-numeric data which
are all based on the subjective responses of
the participants. If data are not critically
analyzed and carefully interpreted, results
may become biased and even less credible.

12. WEAKNESSES
Qualitative
research is time
consuming.
Though qualitative research utilizes a small
number of participants, this, however,
demands the researcher to spend more time
in dealing and engaging with them. Similarly,
the analysis and interpretation phase of the
study also requires the researcher to take
more time in observing the emerging
patterns and themes derived
fromparticipants’ provided data.
