I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Data collection is defined as the procedure of collecting, measuring and analyzing

accurate insights for research using standard validated techniques. A researcher can evaluate
their hypothesis on the basis of collected data. In most cases, data collection is the primary
and most important step for research, irrespective of the field of research. The approach of
data collection is different for different fields of study, depending on the required information.

II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELCs

MELC: Describes adequately research design (either quantitative or qualitative), data

gathering instrument, sample, data collection and analysis procedures, prepares data
gathering instrument.

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson you are expected to:
• Explain the meaning of quantitative data;
• Describe each quantitative data-collection instrument
• Differentiate the quantitative data-collection techniques;

III. ACTIVITIES
Definition of Quantitative Data
Data are pieces of information or facts known by people in this world. Appearing
measurable, numerical, and related to a metrical system, they are called quantitative data,
while in qualitative data is more on words.

The following are the most used quantitative data-gathering techniques along with the
data-gathering instruments for each technique. (Matthews 2010; Badke 2012; Thomas 2013;
Woodwell 2014)

1. OBSERVATION
Using your sense organs, you gather facts or information about people, things, places,
events, and so on, by watching and listening to them; then, record the results of the functioning
of your eyes and ears. Expressing these sensory experiences to quantitative data, you record
them with the use of numbers.
For example: Watching patients lining up at a medical clinic, instead of centering your eyes on
the looks of the people, you focus your attention on the numbers, weight, and height of every
patient standing up at the door of the medical clinic.
❖ Two kinds of observation
✓ Seeing, touching, and hearing the sources of data personally, you engage yourself in
direct observation.
✓ It is an indirect observation, if you see and hear them, not through your own eyes and
ears, but by means of technological and electronic gadgets.
2. SURVEY

Survey is a data-gathering technique that makes you obtain facts or information about
the subject or object of your research through the data-gathering instruments of interview and
questionnaire.

❖ QUESTIONNAIRE
Questionnaire is a paper containing series of questions formulated for an individual and
independent answering by several respondents for obtaining statistical information. Response
yielded by this instrument are given their numerical forms (numbers, fractions, percentages)
and categories and are subjected to statistical analysis.
❖ INTERVIEW

Similar to a questionnaire, interview makes you ask a set of questions, only that, this
time, you do it orally.
➢ ORDER OF INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

In asking interview questions, you see to it that you do this sequentially; meaning, let
your questions follow a certain order such as the following: (Sarantakos 2013; Fraenbel 2012)

✓ First set of questions – opening questions to establish friendly relationships, like

questions about the place, the time, the physical appearance of the participant, or other
non-verbal things not for audio recording.
✓ Second set of questions – generative questions to encourage open-ended questions
like those that ask about the respondents’ inferences, views, or opinions about the
interview topic.
✓ Third set of questions – directive questions or close-ended questions to elicit specific
answers like those that are answerable with yes or no, with one type of an object, or
with definite period of time and the like.

✓ Fourth set of questions – ending questions that give the respondents the chance to air
their satisfaction, wants, likes, dislikes, reactions, or comments about the interview.
Included here are also closing statements to give the respondents some ideas or clues
on your next move or activity about the results of the interview.
3. EXPERIMENT
An experiment is a scientific method of collecting data whereby you give the subjects a
sort of treatment or condition then evaluate the results to find out the manner by which the
treatment affected the subjects and to discover the reasons behind the effects of such
treatment on the subjects.
4. CONTENT ANALYSIS

Content analysis is another quantitative data-collection technique that makes you

search through several oral or written forms of communication to find answers to your research
questions. This data-collection method is not only for examining printed materials but also for
analyzing information coming from non-book materials like photographs, films, video tapes,
painting, drawings, and the like.

ACTIVITY 1: Directions: Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

Central to ____1____are numbers. In this second of research, you use the data-
gathering technique called ____2____that uses ____3_____ and _____4_____. Another
quantitative data-gathering technique is the ____5____ that uses your ____6____, specifically,
your _____7____ and _____8____ in collecting data. A ____9____is a scientific method of
collecting data. This data-collection method is not only for examining printed materials but also
for analyzing information coming from non-book materials called ____10____
