importance of quantitative research in language testing and assessment: in the context of social works

Abstract

These studies, in multiple fields, use many statistical analysis techniques and practices for these current studies. Some of these researchers like to be attributed to quantitative studies. Investigators are therefore intensely sharply divided, and they start competing to point out the advantages of their very own preferred techniques and technologies. However, both techniques and technologies possess pros and cons for all research teams. The objectives of this research are to know the advantages and disadvantages of using statistical research methodology for language measurement and evaluation. Focusing on ethical considerations, this study also found some strong points in the use of grounded theory for language assessment and research testing, such as the generation of more in-depth insights into the design, management, and interpretation of assessment and testing; and the exploration of behaviour, perceptions, feelings, and ability to understand of test subjects. A few other weak points are, for instance, smaller sample sizes and time-consuming quantitative research methods. However, on the other hand, they involve a large sample size and therefore do not necessitate a sufficiently long time to conduct.

“…In answering the aforementioned research questions, a quantitative approach was employed by the researcher. A quantitative approach involves the measurement and analysis of phenomena through the collection and interpretation of quantifiable data (Atmowardoyo, 2018;Rashid & Sipahi, 2021). One of the categories under quantitative methods is survey research (Rashid & Sipahi, 2021).…”

“…A quantitative approach involves the measurement and analysis of phenomena through the collection and interpretation of quantifiable data (Atmowardoyo, 2018;Rashid & Sipahi, 2021). One of the categories under quantitative methods is survey research (Rashid & Sipahi, 2021). Creswell (2009) stated that survey research analyses a sample of a population in order to yield a quantitative or numerical description of trends, attitudes, or views within that population, which aligns with the objectives of this undertaken study.…”

“…These two approaches in foreign language research can be used or chosen by researchers according to their research needs and objectives. Each approach is used by paying attention to the characteristics, aspects of validity and reliability for each approach (Gao et al, 2022;Lam, 2020;Malik et al, 2020;Rahmadani & Etfita, 2022;Rashid & Sipahi, 2021;SA., 2016). Meanwhile, case study research is very important in language research and its learning, so it is relatively the choice of many researchers (Duff, 2014;Unal & Ilhan, 2017).…”

Strengthening the Tension of Socio-Scientific Issues Based Learning to Promoting Democratic Life : A Systematic Review

“…The type of research is generally classified into quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research. As a research method, quantitative research is not only related to laboratories but is also widely used in social sciences, such as education or psychology (Rashid & Sipahi, 2021). In its process, quantitative research uses the rules of deductive logic to test, improve knowledge or solve problems by making systematic, standardized observations and then looking at the relationships between variables from a population.…”
