The main advantages of quantitative approach.
Replicabilidad
focuses
can be repeated at any other time and place obtaining the same results.
hypothesis testing based on a well-defined plan and clear objectives
optimize time and effort
determine the cause and the consequence of the investigated problem.
greater precision to avoid errors and subjectivity
in analyzing and describing the results obtained
use of a quantitative approach
predictive generalizations of something that needs to be tested.
meaningful to draw conclusions.
provides larger sample size approximations
simplifies
how often "situations" occur
possibility of measuring
Advantage
Eliminate bias
The results achieved are statistical.
they are verifiable.
Extensive range of data analysis
Statistics as a tool, allows a broader collection of data obtained from groups of larger samples, it can be a limitation in other situations.
Quick data collection
The data collection methods and the way they are analyzed using statistics saves time and reduces waste of resources.
Collect reliable and accurate data
The use of numbers makes the researchers see the subject of study represented in an impartial and precise way to analyze it objectively.
The use of statistical data
measures
researchers allow them to know how to interpret the results obtained.

It is an investigation on a specific problem through the application of an adopted scientific approach

The epistemological foundations of quantitative
research
Pragmatism
mixed methods
qualitative
quantitative
that the meaning and truth of any idea is a function of its practical results
Epistemologies underlying theory and practice
postmodermism
not accepting rational findings
there is no probability of having objective knowledge
science is not universal
culture is changeable.
criticalism
objective
Publicize and challenge power structures.
changing the existing and limiting social conditions
deep appreciation and appreciation of society and culture
change limiting social conditions.
interpretivism
to group different approaches
it is vital to see the differences that characterize people.
Through social constructions such as language, consciousness, shared meanings and instruments
interprets the components of the study
incorporates human interest in a study.
critical realism
prior understanding of other theories and concepts
all observation is fallible or imperfect
there is a reality independent of our thinking about which science can study
subjectivism
Subjectivism gives primacy to subjective experience as fundamental of all measure and law.
our own mental activity is the only unquestionable fact of our experience
positivism
valid knowledge (certainty or truth) is found only in this a posteriori knowledge.
Sensory experience, interpreted through reason and logic, constitutes the exclusive source of all true knowledge.
philosophical theory stating that certain ("positive") knowledge is based on natural phenomena and their properties and relations
Experiential realism
limit to admit the subjectivity
activity that is based on this subject / object scheme
interaction through our bodies with the world
the observation implies a more active
the perception itself influences in some way what is being observed
It is not possible to observe the world only objectively
Quantitative research
human knowledge
human conjectures
approach to reality as best they can.
post-positivism
experiential realism and pragmatism.
view of quantitative research
the world is seen as reality that can be empirically determined
results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the study group.
the research study can generally be replicated, simulated or repeated, due to its high reliability.
analyzes the information collected
Its purpose is to test whether a proposed study hypothesis is true or not.
specific research methodology gathering quantifiable data
using
computational techniques
mathematical
statistical
systematic investigation of a topic related to a social phenomenon
quantitative research
Epistemology
comes from the Greek word epistêmê
define knowledge
is the philosophy of knowledge
