What is Quantitative Research?  

The term research comes from the French word recerche which means to travel through or to survey. Webster defines Research it as the systematic, patient study and investigation in some fields of knowledge, undertaken to discover and to establish facts and principles

According to Calderon and Gonzales (1993), research may be defined as a purposive, systematic and scientific process of gathering, analyzing, classifying, organizing, presenting and interpreting data for the solution of a problem, for prediction, for invention, for the discovery of truth or for the expansion or verification of existing knowledge, all for the preservation of human life.

Quantitative means presenting a data through numerical parameters and statistical values.

A more basic and all-inclusive definition of Quantitative research is:   Quantitative Research is a systematic, objective and comprehensive investigation of certain phenomenon which involves accurate data gathering, recording, and critical analyzing and interpreting of all facts about the phenomenon through numerical evaluations and statistical interpretations.

Generally, the purpose of research may be expressed in a capsule as:   To discover is to find truth about a subject which was not yet part of the stream of knowledge. To verify is to find whether what was found to be true fifty years ago is still true today.

Research Functions:   1. Research discovers new facts or new “truths” about known phenomenon for primal existence. 2. Research corrects perceptions as well as expands them. 3. Research gathers information on subjects or phenomena with little knowledge/information. 4. Research expands or verifies existing knowledge. 5. Research finds answers to queries by means of scientific studies.

6. Research develops and evaluates concepts, practices and theories. 7. Research also develops and evaluates method that test concepts, practices and theories. 8. Research obtained-knowledge can be utilized for practical purposes. 9. Research provides hard facts which serve as basis for planning, decision making, monitoring and evaluation. 10. To satisfy the researcher’s curiosity by searching again exhaustively new facts either for personal satisfaction or society’s gain.
