Your Reflections
What are the new things I’ve learned today? How can I apply them in daily life? Put
this on a separate paper.

Quantitative data collection methods include various forms of surveys –
online surveys, paper surveys, mobile surveys and kiosk surveys, face-to-face
interviews, telephone interviews, longitudinal studies, website interceptors, online
polls and systematic observations. (Wyse, 2011)
However, this design has its disadvantages as well. Quantitative is
considered to be limiting when it comes to studying the complex and diverse minds
of human beings. This is because this approach can only explain a small fraction of
the human experience (e.g., behavioral impulses and varying personal preferences).
In quantitative research, these human complexities are usually controlled or
removed entirely instead of being analyzed. The inflexible and narrow vision of
quantitative research tends to present the human experience in a restricted
manner.
What is QUALITATIVE RESEARCH?
Qualitative research is concerned
with nonstatistical methods of inquiry and
analysis of social phenomena. It draws on
an inductive process in which themes and
categories emerge through an analysis of
data collected by such techniques as
interviews, observations, videotapes and
case studies. Samples are usually small
and are often purposively selected.
