“Quantitative research is more than numbers and calculations.”
“While studying education and learning problems at Leiden University I discovered that my interests lay particularly in the research and statistical side of the studies, so after graduating I decided to enroll in the master's programme in Methods and Statistics. In this master's I acquired knowledge, insight and skills in the fields of research design, data analysis and construction and evaluation of measuring devices... RIGO is a research and advice institute which performs market and policy research. The institute's expertise is in the liveability of the urban environment for people. My activities at RIGO are aimed particularly toward the methods and techniques of quantitative research, analysing various kinds of data and interpreting the outcomes. I enjoy the challenge of describing the outcomes of difficult analyses in a well-argued and easy to read paper. Consultation on statistical and methodological subjects is an important part of the job. Furthermore, I participate in the development of evaluation instruments.
Quantitative research is more than numbers and calculations. Besides data analysis, research involves communication with clients to discover research questions, studying literature, choosing appropriate instruments to collect data, making a research design, accompanying the field work and translating the outcomes of the data analysis into a paper or presentation. From large international research projects for ministries to small local research, working at a research and advice institute is challenging, interesting and diverse.”
