Summary of ¿Qué es el MÉTODO CUANTITATIVO en investigación? (Ejemplos y diferencias con método cualitativo)👩‍🔬

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

There are two main types of scientific research methods: the quantitative method and the qualitative method. The quantitative method is based on the collection of data through observation, measurement, and experimentation, while the qualitative method is based on the researcher's subjective interpretation of data. Each type of research has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to the researcher to choose which type of research to use based on the specific study they are conducting.

• 00:00:00 The quantitative method is one of two main scientific research methods alongside the qualitative method, which was designed for investigating phenomena that can be measured or quantified with accuracy. A mixed method is the most common product of the combination of the two methods, and is the preferred method of the exact sciences, such as physics, chemistry, or biology, though it is also used in social sciences investigations. One of the main advantages of the quantitative method is that the researcher's beliefs, preferences, and tendencies cannot influence the collection and analysis of data, as is the case with the qualitative method. There are several types of quantitative method, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The descriptive research method establishes characteristics and important factors of the object to be studied through objective methods of observation, analysis, and demonstration. This is the first step of a scientific investigation, and often involves surveys. The analytical research method compares pre-determined variables among groups of control and study subjects, resulting in numerically-based results that can support or reject a hypothesis. The experimental research method is based largely on experimentation, which allows for repeated replication of controlled environment conditions to study the effects of variations on results. The quasi-experimental research method does not allow for
• 00:05:00 The video discusses the difference between quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative research is conducted using a planned, predetermined approach, while qualitative research is unplanned and takes into account the researcher's personal biases. quantitative research is also rigid, inflexible, and limited in its ability to explore details in the context of the context. Qualitative research, on the other hand, is open-ended and starts with a problem statement that is gradually becoming more precise as the research proceeds. The investigator generates a hypothesis or theory that explains the studied phenomena. Quantitative research is biased towards confirming or disproving a hypothesis, while qualitative research has a more objective goal of understanding the phenomenon in terms of the participants' perceptions. Finally, qualitative research is more subjective than quantitative research, with the investigator acknowledging their personal bias and incorporating it into the research process.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses the difference between quantitative and qualitative research methods. There are six different types of quantitative research methods, while there are only two qualitative research methods. Quantitative research methods rely on the collection of data through observation, measurement, and experimentation. Qualitative research methods, on the other hand, are based on the researcher's subjective interpretation of data. It is up to the researcher to choose which type of research methodology to use based on the specific study they are conducting.
