This type of research uses quantitative research in which researchers decide to determine what will be studied, ask narrow specific questions, collect quantitative data (can be calculated) from participants, analysis using statistical figures and conducting investigations in an impartial or objective way Creswell, (2008: 46). That is, research using a quantitative approach has advantages in a measurable research process with more objective results. Based on the above explanation it can be concluded that the quasi experimental design is a type of research design that has a control group and the experimental group is not randomly selected. Researchers use quasi experimental design because in this study there are variables from outside that cannot be controlled by the researcher.
