Differences between quantitative and qualitative study designs

In this lecture we will discuss study designs in quantitative research and qualitative research. There are many more study designs in quantitative research than in qualitative research.

Quantitative study designs are specific, well structured, have been tested for their validity and reliability, and can be explicitly defined and recognized.

Study designs in qualitative research either do not have these attributes or have them to a lesser degree. They are less specific and precise, and do not have the same structural depth.
