Detailed explanation-1: -Inductive approaches are generally associated with qualitative research, whilst deductive approaches are more commonly associated with quantitative research. However, there are no set rules and some qualitative studies may have a deductive orientation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Quantitative research is based on deductive reasoning. The researcher formulates a hypothesis and then conducts experiments to test that hypothesis and so reach (or deduce) a conclusion. Qualitative research is based on inductive reasoning.
Detailed explanation-3: -An inductive approach to research begins by collecting data that is relevant to the topic of interest. Once a substantial amount of data has been collected, the researcher will then take a breather from data collection, stepping back to get a bird’s eye view of the data.
