HOD-882 Quantitative Research Methods4 semester credits
Students are introduced to the range of quantitative inquiry methods, including survey, descriptive, quasi-experimental, correlational, and causal-comparative research. Students study the methodological topics, including structured data collection, sampling, design, basic data analysis strategies, procedures for assessing reliability and validity of quantitative studies, interpretation, and reporting. Students explore the range of quantitative approaches in application to their research interest, development of the research question, and creation of a quantitative proposal.
Pre-requisites: HOD-800
Delivery Method: Online
Grading Default: Letter
Learning Outcome(s):
- Show familiarity with the essential characteristics of the range of quantitative approaches understanding how each approach informs the research question(s), the definition of measurable variables, selection of data collection methods, analysis of data using appropriate statistical tools, and interpretations and findings.
- Critically analyze published quantitative research in terms of reliability and validity and make judgments on the statistical significance of the results.
- Demonstrate understanding of descriptive statistics to the analysis of a dataset: drawing on measures of central tendency and standard deviations, power analyses to determine sample sizes; and inferential statistics, including measures of reliability (including Cronbach alpha) and measures of statistical significance (including chi-square, t-tests, factor analysis, and multi regression).
- Apply a quantitative research approach to the design of one’s research topic generating the research question and developing a quantitative research proposal.
