Quantitative Investigation

Quantitative Investigation

1. When choosing this research methodology, it must be taken into account that numbers are used for the analysis of the information, statistically it is much more viable and easier to measure.

3. Phase 1. Conceptual

   • In this phase the concerns must be ordered, organized elaboration of the knowledge that constitutes a starting point of what you want to know.
     • Step 1.
       • Formulation of the problem, it is determined that it will be investigated.
     • Step 2.
       • Review the literature, the knowledge that serves or is needed for what you want to study is sought. Bibliography review.
     • Step 3.
       • Construction of the theoretical framework, for the selection of the conceptual foundations, the theoretical context within which the problem lies.
     • Step 4.
       • Hypothesis formulation, with these assumptions you can get a research orientation.

4. Phase 2. Planning and Design.

   • This phase should describe how the investigations will be carried out.
     • Step 5.
       • Research selection, strategies are determined, can be experimental design or non-experimental design.
     • Step 6.
       • Identification of the population, is the set of objects, subjects or units that can share characteristics of what you want to investigate, in this population the findings can be generalized.
     • Step 7.
       • Selection of methods and instruments, methods must be defined to measure the research variables with precision and then explain each one, among the methods is observation, interview, questionnaires, forms, psychological tests, opinions, among others.
     • Step 8.
       • Design of the sampling plan, here a representative sample of the study population is selected, with which conclusions can be found, it must be done randomly.
     • Step 9.
       • Review of the research plan, valuable corrections are provided to identify faults and failures.

5. Phase 3. Empirical.

   • In this phase the data collection is included, the data is also prepared for the analysis, it could also be called execution of the previous phases, this will phased the duration of the data collection and its respective analysis and correction of what is detected as incorrect for research.
