The three common approaches to conducting research are quantitative and mixed methods. The researcher anticipates the type of data needed to respond to the research question.

What-Are-The-Three-Approaches-To-Research
Dominant research methodologies used in the human and social science
Cualitative
- Qualitative research is based on aconstructivist or naturalist approach andbegan as a countermovement to thepositivist paradigm (Creswell, 1994)
- Designs
- Ethnographies
- Grounded theory
- Case studie
- Phenomenological studies
Cuantitative
- Based on the empiricist traditionestablished by such authorities as Comte,Mill, Durkheim, Newton and Locke (Smith,1983; Creswell, 1994).
- methodologies
- experiment
- survey
- independent variables:
- Biological events
- Social environments
- Hereditary factors
Combining the Two Methods
- the mixing of quantitative and qualitativemethodologies is a possibility in any givenstudy.
- • Involve the use of observation to addressresearch questions. Both methodologies"describe their data, construct explanatoryarguments
- From their data, and speculate about whythe outcomes they observed happened asthey did"
- Use techniques that are relativelyanalogous at some level of specificity, suchas triangulation.
- Try to discover meaning from theinterpretation of data.
- Use analytical techniques in an attempt toexplain complex relationships in the socialscience world
- Utilize techniques to verify their data.
- Use data reduction as an important part ofthe data analysis process.
- Promote the role of theory by testingtheory (quantitative methods) or initiatingand building theory (qualitative methods).
- Can use the same collection of data to getresults
