Research in the field of education administration demonstrates that there are plethora of pressing issues that are addressed in this context. While many of the investigations undertaken in this discipline focus on quantitative methodologies, some utilize qualitative methodologies in order to provide a clear understanding of the subject being investigated. A precursory overview of both the quantitative and qualitative methodologies that are used in this field demonstrates that both methodologies are necessary for providing researchers with the critical answers and solutions they seek.Although both quantitative and qualitative methodologies are viable for use in the field of education administration, the reality is that the context of and data collected in these investigations is notably different. With this in mind, there is a clear impetus to examine the differences that exist when it comes to quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Using this as a basis for investigation, this research considers a comparison/contrast of two research studies in the field of education: one quantitative study and one qualitative study.
