Coin collections, favorite recipes, rising home costs, best high schools, carpools, political polls. Parent teacher participation, book fairs.

With book fairs, parent teacher participation, favorite recipes, and coin collections the magazine editor would benefit from using the research method of qualitative research. Reason being, is that qualitative research is good for individual level and identifying how people feel or their perspec tives on things. It is usually open ended responses and you really getting word of mouth feedback.

However, with rising home costs, best high schools (if they are referring to academic standings), carpools, and political polls, it would be best suitable for him to conduct quantitative research because it is numerical data, and or measurements, and usually empirical evidence. Although, I think the best high schools and carpooling can be researched by using both.

An important part of beginning a research project is being able to review literature and analyze the implications of already completed research methods, data, and findings. Therefore, researchers must have a solid foundational mastery of differences between research methods, data collection, and reporting. For this discussion board, discuss the differences between quantitative and qualitative research. Specifically, you should complete the following:

Give a definition of a hypothesis and a null hypothesis and identify the method of research that uses a hypothesis.
Discuss what you believe are the key elements of a well-written set of hypotheses. Support your opinion with appropriate peer-reviewed sources other than the textbook.
Give a definition of a research question or problem and identify the method of research that traditionally uses a research question or problem.
Discuss what you believe are the key elements of a well-written research question or problem.
Support your opinion with appropriate peer-reviewed sources (other than the textbook).
Discuss how selecting a sample to study differs between quantitative and qualitative methods.
Describe 2 data-collection instruments, and determine whether the instrument will be used to collect quantitative or qualitative data.
Explain how analysis of quantitative data differs from analysis of qualitative data.
