Research Approaches:
There are two main approaches to
research, namely quantitative approach and qualitative approach. The
quantitative approach involves the collection of quantitative data, which are
put to rigorous quantitative analysis in a formal and rigid manner. This approach
further includes experimental, inferential, and simulation approaches to
research. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach uses the method of subjective
assessment of opinions, behaviour and attitudes. Research in such a situation
is a function of the researcher’s impressions and insights. The results
generated by this type of research are either in non-quantitative form or in
the form which cannot be put to rigorous quantitative analysis. Usually, this
approach uses techniques like indepth interviews, focus group interviews, and
projective techniques.
