Qualitative and Quantitative Research In any research, there will be data. However, the decision to use qualitative or quantitative research will depend largely on the type data you are collecting and how that data will be used.

that reality is objective and subject to a set of laws that can be revealed through research. For the positivist, ‘the world is made up of observable facts’ (Glesne, 2006, pp. 4-5). Phenomenography challenges this belief in an ultimate truth. Rather, reality is viewed as process of interpretation, and it is through experience and interpretation that an individual derives meaning.

In his introductory essay, “Framing Disease: Illness, Society, and History,” historian Charles E. Rosenberg explores the complex nature of disease and its role as a social actor, asserting, “’in some ways disease does not exist until we have agreed that it does, by perceiving, naming, and responding to it.” Rosenberg’s statement finds its basis in his multi-layered approach to the study of disease, which he refers to as “framing.” Rather than focusing on a purely social or biological…

Differences Qualitative research is used primarily to learn things about a subject when researching. It is used to explore a subject and gain understanding of an approach, opinion, motivation, or execution of a plan.
