Quantitative Research and Qualitative Research are two distinct research methodologies used in social sciences and other fields. Here are their definitions and an explanation of which methodology Michael Collyer used in his journal article:
Quantitative Research:
· Definition: Quantitative research is a systematic empirical investigation of phenomena using statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. It aims to measure and quantify relationships between variables, and it often involves collecting numerical data through structured methods, such as surveys, experiments, or existing data analysis.
· Explanation in the Article: Collyer did not primarily use quantitative research in his article. Quantitative research typically involves collecting numerical data and analysing it statistically to draw generalizable conclusions. While Collyer did analyse data (e.g., the number of interviews conducted), the primary focus of his study was not on measuring numerical relationships between variables but on understanding the experiences and decision-making processes of Algerian asylum-seekers.
