We will now move to the different approaches in a qualitative research study. In this topic, I will start by explaining the quantitative research approach. 

Quantitative research is expressed in numbers and graphs. It is used to test or confirm theories and assumptions. This type of research can be used to establish generalizable facts about a topic.

Common quantitative methods include experiments, observations recorded as numbers, and surveys with closed-ended questions.

The following resources explain the quantitative research approaches and the research design.

Go through the Video and PPT slides to get a better understanding of the quantitative research design

         i.   PPT/Video  slides that explain the different types of research with examples (See Supplementary Materials for PPT slides

Completing this activity will enable you to distinguish between the types of research and why they fall into one or the other of the categories
