IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ACROSS FIELDS
Grade Level Standard: The learner the importance of quantitative research
across fields. Most Essential Learning Competency: The learner illustrates
the importance of quantitative research across fields CS_RS12-Ia-c-2
Learning Outcomes:
 To illustrate the importance of quantitative research across fields.
 To explain how the findings of a particular quantitative study affect
different organizations and individual
 To examine sample quantitative studies in different fields.

Importance of Quantitative Research Across Fields


The purpose of quantitative research is to attain greater knowledge and understanding of the social
world. Researchers use quantitative methods to observe situations or events that affect people.
Quantitative research produces objective data that can be clearly communicated through statistics and
numbers.

The value of quantitative research to man’s quest to discover the unknown and improve underlying
conditions is undeniable. Throughout history, quantitative research has paved the way to finding
meaningful solutions to difficulties. For instance, the development of vaccines to strengthen our immunity
against viruses causing highly communicable diseases like polio, influenza, chickenpox, and measles to
name a few, underwent thorough experimental trials. You bet, scientists and medical experts all over the
world today are working their best to fast track the development, testing and release of the vaccine for the
Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (Covid-19) as the pandemic has critically affected the world economy,
education, as well as physical and emotional well-being of people.

The findings of the quantitative study can influence leaders’ and law-makers’ decisions for crafting
and implementing laws for the safety and welfare of the more significant majority. For example, a
community with high cases of Covid-19 positive patients is mandated by law to be under Enhanced
Community Quarantine where only the most essential businesses can operate. On the other hand, cities
with less or zero case will be under General Community Quarantine where some businesses, public and
private offices are already allowed to operate.

Using quantitative design helps us determine and better understand relationships between
variables or phenomenon crucial to reducing the range of uncertainty because the mathematics (more of
this in the last module) behind quantitative studies helps us make close estimates of the outcome
(dependent variable) from a given condition/s (independent variable). Relationship between demand and
supply, age and health, discipline and academic achievement, practice and winning at sports, depression
and suicidal rates, algae population and Oxygen demand are just few examples of real-life applications of
correlation studies in the past that we still apply today.

Most inventions and innovations are products of quantitative studies. Before you can enjoy the
uses and features of a smart phone, it took years of research to establish compliance to standards for
interoperability, to find the most cost-effective raw materials, and to identify the sleekest and sturdiest
design, the fastest data saving and processing power, and most marketable add-ons according to
consumer needs. Indeed, mankind will dwell in the darkness of ignorance if not for the people who
conducted their research before reading about it from books or manuals.
