Comparing Quantitative and Qualitative Methods

Construct a Venn diagram comparing quantitative and qualitative research methods, illustrating similarities and differences, and citing relevant research methodologists. The assignment should be in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint format and contain at least one scholarly reference in APA format. Step 1. Design Design a Venn diagram illustrating the similarities and differences between qualitative and quantitative approaches to researching the scenario you selected in this module’s discussion. Step 2. Contrast Methods Based on the scenario, what kinds of questions could only a quantitative study answer? What kinds of questions could only a qualitative study answer? Which methodologists are representative of quantitative and qualitative methods respectively? Answer these questions in bullet point form on the Venn diagram. Step 3. Compare Methods Based on the scenario, what questions could both qualitative and quantitative methods answer? What do they have in common if both methods were applied to the same scenario? What could a mixed-method study possibly address that qualitative and quantitative methods alone could not? Answer these questions in bullet point form on the Venn diagram. Step 4. Submit Ensure your diagram contains at least one scholarly citation and include it as a footnote in the document. Submit the diagram.
