Quantitative research measures behaviors, attitudes, or opinions to reject or support the premise. There are various methods through which researchers collect quantitative data, including telephone interviews, longitudinal studies, surveys, controlled observations, and experiments. I can use controlled observations to collect quantitative data for my research. Observation is a research method where the researcher observes the interactions and behaviors of participants rather than asking them questions. There are various observations, including controlled observation, where a researcher observes the respondents in a contained environment. The researcher uses standardized procedures to carry out the research, and they determine the location, times, and the participants of the study. This method can help me determine how socio-dramatic play helps children develop social skills by assigning the participants to different groups and observing their behavior.

I would use evidence-based response processes and an evidence-based internal structure to support whether the data collection method is valid. Controlled observation can assess social skills by measuring socio-dramatic traits. Also, the data collection method can provide the relationship between social skills and socio-dramatic play. The test-retest method can help show if the measure is consistent across time to help obtain the same results. Additionally, interrater can support the reliability of the data collection method by showing consistency of the measure across different observers.

I can use descriptive analytics to analyze quantitative data. Descriptive analysis helps in determining, summarizing, or showing data points constructively so that patterns can develop to fulfill all conditions of data. This method can conclude the data distribution, help detect outliers and typos, and help establish the relationship between social skills and socio-dramatic play, making me ready to conduct more statistical analyses.
