Without Quantitative research our daily lives would be thrown into a confession, so we better learn how this research are being conducted. 2.

Check that the data are consistent with the experimental assumptions. Analyze and interpret the results. Use/present the results (may lead to further runs or DOE's). What I Have Learned Why are researches conducted? ● Researches are being conducted in orther to provide results that will help social evaluation. We conducted this research to inform action, to prove a theory and to contribute to developing knowledge and in a field or of your study. What kind of research is widely use in natural science? ● Natural science use Quantitative research research to explore social interaction, system and process. What are the different king of Quantitative researches accross diciplines? Write some important points/ideas in each diciplines. ● Anthropology is concern with the exploring connections, simutaneously, admist, cultural differences, alternative and identify ● Communication is very important we cannot function in as a society without communication we are all social being and we cannot exist without consulting interacting with other people. ● Medical education tends to be predominantly observational research according to Prieto this is based on surveys or Correlational studies. ● Behavioral Science is any various diciplines dealing with the subject of human including the feilds of sociology,, social cultural anthropology, phycology, and behavioral aspects of biology, economic, geography law phyciatric and political science. ● Education and Phycology dominant pradigms that guides early educational physiological research were were positionism successor, and post positivist. ● Social science social world can be studied in the same way as the natural world Athat there is a method for studyibg the social world that is value free and the explanations is a casual action can be provided.
