Summary

TLDRThis video discusses the quantitative research approach, highlighting its systematic and empirical processes. It defines research as a series of steps aimed at studying phenomena, with a focus on the quantitative method, which emphasizes numerical data and structured designs. The presentation outlines ten phases of quantitative research, from idea generation to results reporting, and distinguishes this approach from qualitative research by its objective nature and reliance on standardized instruments. An example from the National Institute of Statistics illustrates the application of this method in assessing poverty rates in Mexico, showcasing its significance in generating reliable data for analysis.

Takeaways

  • ๐Ÿ“š Research is a systematic, critical, and empirical process applied to study phenomena.
  • ๐Ÿ” There are two main research approaches: qualitative and quantitative, with this script focusing on the latter.
  • ๐Ÿ”ข The term 'quantitative' originates from the Latin word 'quantitas,' relating to quantities or numbers.
  • ๐Ÿ“– The roots of quantitative research are found in the exact sciences, including biology, physics, and mathematics.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Key characteristics of quantitative research include problem formulation, literature review, and hypothesis testing.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Data collection in quantitative research relies on measurement and is analyzed through statistical methods.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ This approach is objective, following a structured and predictable pattern to generalize results.
  • ๐Ÿ”— The quantitative research process consists of ten distinct phases, from idea generation to reporting results.
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Unlike qualitative research, quantitative research involves a predetermined design aimed at generalizing data from a sample.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ An example of quantitative research is the national statistics on poverty from 1992 to 2013, highlighting a significant increase in the poverty rate.

Q & A

  • What is research defined as in the transcript?

    -Research is described as a set of systematic, critical, and empirical processes applied to the study of a phenomenon.

  • What are the two main approaches to research mentioned?

    -The two main approaches to research are qualitative and quantitative.

  • What does the term 'quantitative' refer to?

    -Quantitative refers to the aspect related to quantity, portions, or numbers of things.

  • Who are some of the key authors associated with the development of quantitative research?

    -Key authors include William Dilthey and William James.

  • What are the primary characteristics of quantitative research?

    -Quantitative research includes formulating a problem, reviewing literature, constructing a theoretical framework, testing hypotheses, collecting measurable data, and analyzing results through statistical methods.

  • What is the typical sequence of phases in quantitative research?

    -The phases are: idea generation, problem formulation, literature review, study scope visualization, hypothesis and variable definition, research design development, sample selection, data collection, data analysis, and reporting results.

  • How does quantitative research differ from qualitative research in terms of design?

    -Quantitative research design is structured and predetermined, while qualitative research is more flexible and exploratory.
