Session theme: Making Sense of Data Collection (Quantitative Research Methods)
Good research does not happen by chance. It requires detailed planning to ensure that it is worthwhile and contributes to the scientific literature. Good research design depends on utilising the optimal methodology that fit with the type of research question(s) ask.
The aim of this talk is to help you to gain a greater understanding of quantitative research designs as they apply to the research process, discuss key aspects relate to hypotheses development, selection of relevant data and data analysis for quantitative research projects and to use this information to challenge and critique the current practice of conducting quantitative research.
