Qualitative usually refers to the quality of the work, how good, or bad, the work is. Quantitative refers to the amount, or quantity, of the work.
Quantitative observations are observations that can be precisely measured. Qualitative observations, meanwhile, are subjective observations that are based on the characteristics of what is being observed.
The main difference between qualitative and quantitative research/observations are the purposes of the observations.
