Qualitative Research

Focuses on words and meanings. Good for exploring concepts, thoughts, and experiences. Methods include interviews and focus groups.

Quantitative Research

Focuses on numbers and statistics. Good for testing hypotheses and finding patterns. Methods include surveys and experiments.

Mixed Methods

Combines both. Can provide a more comprehensive understanding but is more time-consuming.

Justification is Key

Whatever you choose, you must justify why it is the best approach for answering your specific research question.
