This document provides a comparison of quantitative and qualitative research approaches. It outlines the key differences between the two approaches in terms of their definitions and goals, design characteristics, sampling methods, data collection techniques, and types of data analyzed. The quantitative approach emphasizes numbers, measurements, and statistical analysis, while the qualitative approach focuses on natural settings, observations, and interpretations to build theory and understand phenomena.
