Various Elements of Research Studies

Both qualitative and quantitative research methods are valuable in the research process. Qualitative and quantitative research methods differ in their design and their approach to measurement. Qualitative research is subjective in nature. The exact outcome for this type of research is subject to the interpretation of the researcher. Quantitative research differs in that it provides an exact approach to measurement, and the outcome is expressed in numbers. The research method selected is dependent on several factors including time, financial restraints and the nature of the research problem.
