When researchers use numerical data, then the research is quantitative. In qualitative research, the aim is to learn the understanding of the participants on the research question. A mixed-method applies both qualitative and quantitative studies. Quantitative and mixed methods cannot be used in the research, and the most applicable one is a qualitative approach.
