1, different concepts.

Qualitative research refers to the method that researchers use historical review, literature analysis, interviews, observation, participation experience and other methods to obtain educational research materials, and then analyze them by non-quantitative means to draw research conclusions.

The results of quantitative research are usually expressed by a large number of data, and the research design is to make effective explanations by comparing and analyzing these data.

2, the theoretical basis is different.

Qualitative research is mainly a kind of value judgment, based on the methodology of humanism such as hermeneutics, phenomenology and constructivism. Its main point is that social phenomena are not dominated by causality like natural phenomena, and there are essential differences between social phenomena and natural phenomena.

Quantitative research is a kind of factual judgment, based on the methodology of positivism. Positivism originates from empiricism philosophy, and its main point is that social phenomena exist independently and are not transferred by human subjective will. In the process of evaluation, subject and object are mutually isolated entities, and there must be an inherent logical causal relationship between things.
