Quantitative research Sample Clauses

Quantitative research. The quantitative research approach utilises numerical data to access information about the world (Kalu, 2017, p. 43). According to Rahi (2017, p. 1-5) the quantitative method is a scientific method and its grounds can be found in the positivist paradigm. This method focuses on new data collection to address a problem from a large population and analysis of the data, but it ignores an individual’s feelings and emotions or the environmental context of the study. With such an approach the researcher is more focused on describing the data than interpreting it.
