Summary
If information is to be labeled credible then it has to be acquired in nothing less than a scientific way. By saying this, it means that there should be a systematically planned method of obtaining data that begins with finding reliable sources in significant quantity and ends in formulating conclusions. In research, there are basically two types of research methods, the qualitative and the quantitative. The two are different in a number of ways and can be appropriately applicable to certain kinds of studies. Yet despite the wide array of differences, what primarily draws the line between the two is that the variables involved in a quantitative study can be identified and measured while in qualitative, it cannot (Glesne & Peshkin, 1992). Moreover, due to its objectiveness, quantitative research method is usually preferred over the type. Likewise, quantitative research can also take several forms depending on the kind of instrument used. Hence, it is important to understand the similarities and differences between each form just so only the suitable method will be employed in achieving the desired reliable data.
