Research vs. Inquiry: Understanding the Importance of Quantitative Research

RESEARCH VS. INQUIRY

What is research?

Is a scientific, experimental, or inductive manner of thinking. Starting from particular to complex ideas, you execute varied thinking acts that range from lower-order to higher-order thinking strategies reflected by these research activities: identifying the topic or problem, gathering data, making theories, formulating hypotheses, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions.

What is inquiry?

A term that is synonymous with the word 'investigation,' is the answer to this question. When you inquire or investigate, you tend to ask questions to probe or examine something.
