The document outlines the principles and characteristics of quantitative research, highlighting its focus on numerical data, objective analysis, and the strength of relationships among variables. It contrasts quantitative research with qualitative research, emphasizing the structured and replicable nature of quantitative studies while discussing strengths such as representativeness and the ability to analyze inequalities. Additionally, it provides examples of measurements and factors to consider in academic performance studies.

1. Lord Jesus, please give me a good mind
that I may do all my works well in such a
way that I will make you happy. Help me
to understand and remember all the
things that I must learn. Help me to enjoy
and be happy with the subject which I
find so hard. Amen
LET US
PRAY…

Quantitative
research involves
collection of
numerical data.
Expressions like
numerical forms,
objective thinking,
statistical
methods and
measurement are
elements of a
quantitative
research.
It is a way of making
any phenomenon or
any sensory
experience clearer or
more meaningful by
gathering and
examining
information about
such person, thing,
place, or event
appealing to senses.

9. Behavior]
1. Determining the respondents’ academic grades and arrived at
96, 97, 78, and 60.
2. Determining the respondents’ level of agreement to factors
that correlate with academic performance.
3. Determining respondents’ stress levels from 1-10 and arrived
at 5, 6, 7 and 8
4. Computing for the strength of relationship between the family
stress with academic performance where you arrived at .7328
interpreted as strong relationship of variables.

10. Characteristics of Quantitative
Research
Objective
Uses numbers and figures
Focuses on the object of the study
Exclude own thoughts and feelings about the
subject or object
Characterized by real or factual
Analogous to scientific or experimental
thinking
It does not just identify problems but theorize,
hypothesize, analyze, infer and create.

11. Strengths of Quantitative Research
1. Samples of individuals can be selected to
ensure that the results will be the
representative of the population studied.
2. Structural factors that determine how
inequalities are produced can be analyzed.
3. Quantitative estimates can be obtained
of the magnitude and distribution of
impact
4. Standardized approaches permit the
study to be replicated with the production
of comparable findings

research involves sensory
experience; using your senses in
determining measurement and
counting of data (you use eyes,
nose, ear compared to abstract
of qualitative; you use
understanding and wisdom).
