Choose the Right Research Approach
Understand when to use qualitative research, quantitative research or a combination of both, based on the research problem and objectives.
The International Institute of Quality Accreditation & Rankings (IIQA) presents a practical and research-oriented workshop on Qualitative and Quantitative Research: Choosing the Right Approach, designed to help researchers, faculty members, students and professionals understand different research approaches and make informed methodological choices.
The workshop focuses on qualitative and quantitative research, research questions, research design, data collection methods, sampling approaches, measurement, data analysis, validity, reliability, interpretation and research reporting.
Participants will learn how to select an appropriate approach based on the research problem, objectives, questions, type of data and expected outcomes.
CEO, International Institute of Quality Accreditation & Rankings (IIQA)
The workshop provides practical perspectives on research planning, research methodology, qualitative and quantitative approaches, data collection, analysis and evidence-based interpretation.
Areas of Expertise: Research Methodology · Data & Performance Analysis · Institutional Research · Accreditation · Academic Research · Quality Assurance · Institutional Excellence
Understand when to use qualitative research, quantitative research or a combination of both, based on the research problem and objectives.
Connect the research problem, questions and objectives with research design, sampling, data collection and analysis.
Strengthen validity, reliability, research ethics, interpretation, proposal development and research reporting.
RESEARCH PROBLEM → RESEARCH QUESTION → APPROACH → DESIGN → DATA → ANALYSIS → FINDINGS
Research methodology should match the research problem, questions, objectives and type of evidence required.
Research problems, objectives, questions, hypotheses, literature review, conceptual framework, variables and methodology selection.
