Qualitative and Quantitative Methods

Using the databases and the Research Methods research guide in the

Ashford University Library, locate and read peer-reviewed articles about

the features of qualitative research and quantitative research. Also read

the full text of the study you selected in Week One. Differentiate

between qualitative and quantitative research methods and terminology.

Specify which approach is used in the study. Explain whether the study is

qualitative or quantitative by citing specific clues from the article,

such as sample size, data collection techniques, the nature of the data

collected, or the data analysis techniques used. Using information in the

instructor guidance and Chapter 2 of the textbook, determine whether the

research study you selected is non-experimental or experimental. Explain

your reasoning.
