No, it is not the same. Qualitative research is usually seen as the opposite of quantitative research, of which experimental research is a type of.
Qualitative research deals with words, concepts and themes - often answering 'why - questions. It leads to better understanding of life experiences and is holistic in nature. Information is collected through individual or group (focus group) interviews, observation and unstructured observation. Information is analysed through interpretation and the findings is often unique to a specific context in specific time and not supposed to be generalized to other contexts.
Quantitative research is based on logical positivism with strict rules. It usually deals with numbers and statistics. The research is supposed to be as objective a possible and the findings to be true in all contexts. Within this family of research experimental research is objective, systematic, controlled investigation to examine probability and causibility among selected independent and dependent variables for the purpose of predicting and controlling.

∙ 15y agoQualitative observation is becoming aware of an object/event by using properties related to numbers and/or measurements. Weight, height, etc. Anything measured with a numeric value is considered qualitative.
Quantitative observation is identifying objects according to characteristics that cannot be easily measured or counted. Cloudiness, texture, smell, etc. are all different things that fit into the category.

Quantitative: That smelled as bad as 3.5 gallons of buzzard bait.

Compare And Contrast Qualitative And Quantitaitve Research MethodsCompare and contrast Qualitative and Quantitative research methods Monique GowansCharles Stuart UniversityCompare and Contrast Qualitative and Quantitative Research MethodsQualitative research methods are complex meaningful analysis characterised by processes and meanings that are not experimentally examined or measured in terms of mathematical measurements (Lincoln, 2003; Sarantakos, 2005). Quantitative research however, relies and builds on mathematical procedures and methods, such as frequency, quality, amount and statistical procedure. This paper will compare and contrast both qualitative and quantitative research methods endeavouring to highlight differences and similarities between the two methods.Qualitative analysis is a detailed, focused and deep process that seeks to find meaning in social experience (Burton 2007/2010). Qualitative analysis adds emphasis to questions that stress 'how' or 'what meaning' is created and given to certain
