Quantitative research is contrasted
with Quantitative research and is often contrasted with qualitative
research, which is the examination, analysis and interpretation of observations
for the purpose of discovering underlying meanings and patterns of
relationships, including classifications of types of phenomena and entities, in
a manner that does not involve mathematical models. I have used it in marketing when “selling”
education to Soldiers, Sailors, airmen and Marines when I worked for Trident
University International in 2010 after I retired from the Army.
Quantitative investigation and
research has existed since humans first began to record events or objects that
had been counted.
Quantitative research using
statistical methods start with the collection of data, based on the hypothesis
or theory is the best place to start. I
have always been good with the lucky “guess” but it can prove to be
unreliable. Proper data collection based
on fact or proving the hypothesis is best.
As I have stated in previous papers and posts, vetting is always the way
to go.
