QUESTION 1
An easy way of distinguishing between data collected when using either a qualitative and
quantitative approach is to remember that quality refers to the essential character or
nature of data (Swanepoel and Mabeka, 2022). However, quantity connotes the extent, size
or sum of countable events that can be addressed as a numerical value. Therefore,
qualitative research is a form of research in which researchers make an analysis of what
they see, hear, and understand. It is aimed at collecting data about a topic that
investigates something about human behaviour that cannot be measured, such as
perception, opinions, experiences, and so forth.
