but should note that qualitative and quantitative research differ because qualitative research does not require statistical methods for collecting and reporting data, but quantitative does involve the analysis of numerical data. Types of research listed for qualitative could include observation, participant observation, open-ended interviews, or ethnography. Types of research listed for quantitative research could include survey research, experiments, or analysis of secondary data. It may but does not have to include specific types grouped within these larger categories. Neither group should include historical-comparative method within their answers, as it is separate from qualitative and quantitative methods.
