b) qualitative methods 
If qualitative methods are applied, findings in the verbal form are given, which 
is fairly difficult to evaluate, in particular for inexperienced or beginning 
researchers (e.g. interview). On the other hand, it may be noted that certain 
phenomena can be partly translated into statistical summaries. Supporters of 
the quantitative approach to the study of educational phenomena oppose that 
the human aspect diminishes behind the final figures and emphasise the need 
to get closer to the persons under study and penetrate into situations, 
understand the essence of the problem because this is the only way to describe 
and understand these phenomena. If qualitative research is applied, researcher 
must keep as great distance from the phenomena under study as possible for 
the sake of impartiality, which also applies to the distance from the respondent.
Quantitative methods are mostly used to prepare the final thesis, which is 
mainly for prosaic reasons because we can obtain a high amount of data which 
are easy to evaluate (this is especially suitable for writing bachelor’s theses). 
Research eruditeness is necessary for the application of certain qualitative 
methods (i.e. they can be applied when writing master’s thesis). 
Below is a brief summary of selected methods which may be applied to acquire 
the necessary information and analyse the phenomena under study. 
14.4 Quantitative Research Methods 
Explorative methods 
Explorative methods are the most frequently used methods. They are based on 
the statements made by respondents. The share of individuals and their direct 
involvement in the response obviously provide a ‘
reflection’ of their own 
opinion, feeling, attitude, etc., i.e. responses need not correspond to reality, 
which reduces objectivity (validity) and reliability of these methods. A
