摘要
定量研究是通过统计调查法或实验法,像自然科学那样建立研究假设,收集精确的数据资料,然后进行统计分析和检验的研究过程。定性研究则是趋向于运用访问、观察和文献法收集资料,并依据主观的理解和定性分析进行研究的过程。二者在理论基础、研究和被研究者的关系、研究方法、研究目的等方面存在差异。同时二者也是联系的,一般认为,定性研究是定量研究的基本前提,定量研究是定性研究的进一步深化。
Quantitative research is a process that just likes the natural sciences which use the survey or experimental methods, establishment assumptions, collection of accurate data, then makes the statistical analysis and testing. Qualitative research is a process tends to use the visit,observe and document methods to collection of information, and based on subjective understanding and qualitative analysis to make the research. Both in its theoretical foundation and the relationship between research and researchers, the research methods, research purposes there have some differences. At the same time there have some common ground between it. It is generally believed that qualitative research is the basic premise of quantitative research, quantitative research is a further in-depth study of the qualitative research.
