The correct sequence for the progression of quantitative measurement steps starts with conceptualization, where the researcher defines what is to be measured. This is followed by a conceptual definition, which provides a detailed description of the concept's attributes. Next is operational definition, where the concept is translated into measurable variables. Finally, measurement in the empirical world involves collecting data based on the operational definition.
