DEDICATORIA- Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Data Analysis
Quantitative and
Qualitative Data
Analysis
Integrating quantitative and
qualitative data analysis refers to the
systematic combination of both types of
data within a single study or series of
studies to provide a comprehensive
understanding of a research problem.
What is DATA ANALYSIS ?
It is the process of
inspecting, cleansing,
transforming and modeling
data with the goal of
discovering useful
information, informing
conclusions and supporting
decision making.
TYPES OF DATA
ANALYSIS
Quantitative Data
Analysis
Numerical information
that can be measured,
counted, and analyzed
statistically. Examples
include survey
responses, sales
figures, and test scores.

Non-numerical information that
describes qualities, characteristics, and
meanings. Examples include interview
transcripts, observations, and focus
group discussions.

Strengths and Limitations of Each Approach
Integrating both approaches can offset the weaknesses and capitalize on the
strengths of each.
Quantitative
Strengths: Objectivity,
Generalizability, Statistical Power.
Limitations: Context-Stripping,
Ignoring Nuance, Potential for
Researcher Bias.
Qualitative
Strengths: Depth, Flexibility,
Participant Voices.
Limitations: Subjectivity, Limited
Generalizability, Time-Consuming.

Integrating Data: Approaches
SEQUENTIAL
Conduct one type of research first to inform the other, such as using qualitative i
to develop a quantitative survey.
CONCURRENT
Collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously
to gain a more holistic understanding.
EMBEDDED
Nest one type of data within the other, such as including open-ended questions
in a quantitative questionnaire.
