Qualitative and Quantitative Research

Students may be more familiar with a quantitative approach to
research, but many research problems can be explored using either a
quantitative approach, a qualitative approach, or both, in a mixed
methods approach. The readings assigned for this week compare
qualitative research and quantitative research in a number of ways. In
your initial post, briefly compare qualitative and quantitative
research. Be sure to address the difference between the interpretive and
the positivist paradigms as well as ontological, epistemological, and
methodological differences. Reflecting on your own predilections, do you
relate to one paradigm more than the other? Which one and why? Post
should be at least 300 words.
