This week was a bit different to those previous. We did not have a traditional seminar, but a workshop where we got to test our knowledge on quantitative and qualitative research. The competition format in which the excersises took place was a good way of creating a discussion concerning what the pros and cons of using quantitative and qualitative research.
So what have i learned? I guess that both reading this weeks articles and participating in the workshop might have shed some light on the importance of being meticulous, whether you're conducting a quantitative or a qualitative study, cause the result depends on it. For example, a poorly written questionnaire could possibly distort the result of a whole study. So paying attention to detail is crucial.
Hi! is an important point which you mention there, the methods we use to perform data collection to conduct any study is vital for proper research. It is important that, the way seminar was made it helped us to understand better this topics. Just like you I learned a lot about both methods, and particularly consider a study that holds both qualitative and quantitative methods achieve a more reliable and accurate study. Good post! is clear and demonstrate the main points you learned with this theme.
