DATA COLLECTION

PROCEDURE Practical Research II


DATA COLLECTION
PROCEDURE
The data collection procedure comprehensively
discusses the data that are collected from tests
and survey questionnaires. Researchers refer
to these data collection devices as instrument.
TECHNIQUES OF COLLECTING QUANTITATIVE DATA

David (2002) stressed that the choice of the


best way to collect data depends largely on
the type of data to be collected and the
source of data. Before starting to collect data,
a researcher should decide:
•what data to collect
•where or from whom the data will be obtained
•what instrument/s or device/s to use in
collecting the data.
Steps in Collecting Data
Steps are typically clustered into three phases:
before, during and after the data collection.
BEFORE
1. Develop your data collection instruments and
materials.
2. Validate the instruments and test its reliability.
3. Seek permission from the authorities and heads of
the institutions or communities where you will conduct
your study.
4. Select and screen the population using
appropriate sampling techniques.
5. Train the raters, observers, experimenters,
assistants, and other research personnel who
may be involved in data gathering, if
applicable.
6. Obtain informed consent from the
participants. In informed consent form is a
document that explains the objectives of the
study and the extent of the participants’
involvement in the research. It also ensures
the confidentiality of certain information about
the participants and their responses.
DURING
1. Provide instructions to the participants
and explain how the data will be collected.
2. Administer the instruments, and
implement the intervention or treatment, if
applicable.
AFTER
1. Immediately encode and archive your
data.
2. Safeguard the confidentiality of your data.
3. Later, examine and analyze your data
using the appropriate statistical tools.
(David, 2002).
Data Collection Procedure
The researchers asked permission from
the research adviser and the school principal
to conduct the study. Then once the
respondents agreed, the researchers
personally administered the questionnaire.
The researchers collected the questionnaire
after the respondents answered it.
Data Analysis Procedure
In data analysis you are expected to turn raw numbers
into meaningful data through the application of rational
and critical thinking.
Data analysis may include the calculation of frequencies
of variables and differences between variables.
A quantitative approach is usually associated with
finding evidence to either support or reject hypotheses
you have formulated at the earlier stages of your
research process.
Assumption for Parametric Test
1. The population/sample of the study is
normally distributed.
2. The sampling technique used in the
study is a random sampling.
3. The data should have equal variances.
Task

of your research by
conceptualizing the Data
Collection Procedure and Data
Analysis Procedure.
