EXAMPLE : USING MIXED METHOD: BOTH QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QuickStop Convenience Stores Background Once upon a time there was a successful line of convenience stores. We’ll call this group of stores "QuickStop". At some point a staff-member realised that QuickStop seemed to be patronised by many more men than women. This was passed along to the management team and they asked the store tellers to informally keep track of the proportions of men to women who came into their stores.

Information sheet 15 Qualitative Research Introduction Qualitative research is becoming more widely valued and recognised in the health care research field. The importance of qualitative research was established in the early 20th Century as a form of inquiry for the study of human group life‚ particularly in the fields of sociology and anthropology. Qualitative research aims to generate further research and theories rather than to verify them. It relies on transforming information from observations

Quantitative and Qualitative Research Sheri Doubleday May 16‚ 2011 Research procedures depends on the analyzing data and questions on the topic being researched. All research can be differentiated on the basis of whether its methodology produces mostly numerical data (e.g.‚ scores and measurements) or mostly narrative data (e.g.‚ verbal descriptions and opinions) (Mertler‚ C. & Charles‚ C. 2011‚ p 24). Qualitative research and quantitative research are two types of research methods.

Quantitative research involves collecting numerical data though content analysis‚ performance tests‚ personality measures‚ questionnaires‚ etc. Quantitative research allows for experimental and non-experimental research. Experimental research tests cause and effect‚ while non-experimental research‚ such as‚ correlation research‚ relates variables‚ and survey research describes trends. There are three basic types of quantitative research questions: descriptive research questions‚ correlational research

Data transmission methods Transmission Transmission is the act of transporting information from one location to another via a signal. The signal may be analog or digital‚ and may travel in different media. Transmission: Communication of data by propagation and processing of signals. Signal processing is the representation‚ transformation and manipulation of signals plus the information they contain. Signal Types Signals: An electric or electromagnetic representations of data by which data is

Khan‚ Hafiz and Raeside (1)‚ suggest some method for data collection‚ basing on the situation‚ warning from possible threats to the validity and reliability of data collected. Whatever the method of data collection chosen (observations‚ experimentation‚ survey‚ interviews‚ diary method‚ case study‚ data storage‚ triangulation)‚ there are several hypothesis that need to be considered since the beginning (1); the challenges born from the nature of the research and level of detail the researcher want
