This power point presentation introduces qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Quantitative research relies primarily on quantified data that can be statistically analyzed, using a deductive approach. It assumes an objective reality. Qualitative research relies on qualitative data that describes rather than measures attributes, using an inductive approach. It assumes a subjective reality. Key differences are in data collection methods, data types, and final report formats.

2. This power point presentation was created by Ignacio Vargas on March, 2011. This Power Point presentation is an introduction to two of the three most common research methodology paradigms qualitative, quantitative and mixed. A paradigm is considered as a point of view or a behavior based on a set of assumptions, concepts, and values that are held by either community or researchers. In this case, quantitave paradigm and qualitative paradigm are going to be briefly conceptualized so that the technical bases for the IO-5600 course become solid since the very first moment, and this will be accomplished by defining key terms.
3. This power point presentation was created by Ignacio Vargas on March, 2011. An investigation that relies primarily on the collection of quantitave data, which is information that can be quantified and verified, and is amenable to statistical manipulation.

Precise measurement (rating scales, behavioral responses, closed-ended items) Nature of the data: Variables. Statistical relationships is how data is analyzed. Final report is a statistical report with correlations, comparisons of means, and reporting of statistical significance of findings.
5. This power point presentation was created by Ignacio Vargas on March, 2011. A research that relies on the collection of qualitative data, which is information that approximates or characterizes but does not measure the attributes, characteristics, properties, etc., of a given phenomenon. Qualitative data describes whereas quantitative data defines.
6. This power point presentation was created by Ignacio Vargas on March, 2011. Inductive (bottom up) scientific method. Subjective, personal, and socially constructed nature of reality. Qualitative data is collected in-depth interviews, participant observation, filed notes, and open-ended questions. The researcher is the primary data collector. Natureof data: words, images, categories. Search for patterns, themes and holistic features. Narrative report with contextual description and direct quotations from research participants.
