In research, various methods are employed to collect and analyze data in order to investigate a particular problem or research question. These methods can be broadly categorized into two types: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research methods involve the collection of numerical data, typically through surveys, experiments, or statistical analysis of existing data. These methods aim to identify patterns, relationships, and trends that can be generalized to a larger population. On the other hand, qualitative research methods involve the collection of non-numerical data, such as interviews, observations, or case studies. These methods focus on capturing context, perspectives, and rich descriptions to gain a deeper understanding of a particular phenomenon. Both quantitative and qualitative methods can be used in combination, depending on the research objectives and the nature of the problem being investigated.
