Quantitative research and focus
Introduction
For Hernández Sampieri, Fernández & Baptist. It is based on the subsequent measurement and prognosis about a phenomenon or research problem. This approach starts with an idea, this idea is the problem of study of the phenomenon, which covers both objectives and research questions. With this problem in question we proceed to seek and review research carried out above the phenomenon and then prepare the theory with which the investigation will be carried out.
Developing
From the elaborate theory the hypotheses are obtained, which are arguments of which its certainty (acceptance or rejection) will be verified;To get to this, variables of study study will be defined, they will decompose from a general point of view to a specific one to later be measured. According to Hernández Sampieri, Fernández & Baptist. It also seeks to understand why human beings act, which is why they are investigated in the experiences of those investigated for the generation of knowledge.
Then, a sample to which it will be studied will be pointed out and data from this sample will be obtained when using a technique of collection of the same. The data obtained (which in this approach are numerical amounts) will also be analyzed using statistical techniques and the results obtained from it will accept or reject the hypotheses initially proposed by reaching an objective conclusion that will be included in a final report.
This approach is distinguished from the quantitative, since it does not propose the study hypotheses at the beginning of the investigation, but rather raises them before, during and after the same. In addition, as of the research problem, the qualitative approach is not subject to a single methodological process to study but for each research that is carried out there is a different process that must be followed.
conclusion
The review and construction of the theory, in this approach, can occur from the beginning of the study to the presentation of the results, that is, it is complemented in any step/stage of the investigation. It also covers the sensitization process with the environment to study, where the researcher can familiarize himself with the situation in order to generate empathy, have better understanding and make research more feasible.
Consequently, when obtaining the data, it does not seek to reduce them to amounts and even less to analyze them with statistical methods, but that this data is subtracted from their meaning by presenting them in final reports in multimedia formats, pictures, maps, diagrams, etc., always linked to a conclusion with personal perspective.
