PLANNING DATA

COLLECTION
PROCEDURE
Data collection refers to the
process of gathering information.
The data that you will collect
should be able to answer the
questions you posed in your
Statement of the Problem.
There are various methods that you can use in collecting
data for a research study. Each has its advantages and
disadvantages and as a researcher you should be able to
identify when it is appropriate to employ each of the data
collection procedures.
All these techniques are expected to generate numerical
calculations. The data are collected, recorded, organized and
translated to measurement scales and entered into a
computer database for statistical computation, using
appropriate software packages like EXCEL, SPSS, SAS,
etc.
Types of Quantitative
Data Collection
Procedure
A. OBSERVATION
This method of gathering data is usually used in
situations where the respondents cannot answer the
researcher's question to obtain information for a
research study. The observation is structured to elicit
information that could be coded to give numerical
data.
As a researcher, you have to prepare a checklist using
an appropriate rating scales that may categorize the
behaviour, attitude or attribute that you are observing to
answer the questions posed in your study. As you observe,
you will record your observation by using checkmarks
or cross marks on your checklist.
B. SURVEY
Quantitative data can be collected
using four (4) main types of survey:
• Sample Survey
• Administrative Data
• Census
• Tracer Studies
• Questionnaire
B. SURVEY
Quantitative data can be collected using four (4) main types of
survey:
• Administrative Data – Organizations’ day-to-to day
operation.
• Census – Demographic Profile
• Tracer Studies – A regular survey with a sample of those
surveyed within a specific time or period.
• Questionnaire - It may standardized or research- made.
PLANS DATA
ANALYSIS USING
STATISTICS
When the necessary data have already been
collected, the next step is to organize the raw data
for data analysis. It is important that the researcher
is assured of the quality of the data for accuracy,
consistency, completeness and systematic
arrangement to facilitate coding and tabulation.
Every research methodology requires a data
analysis plan. The plan includes specifying the
statistical measures to use and to address the research
questions. The appropriate methods of data analysis
are determined by the type of data, the variables to be
used, the number of cases and the distribution of the
variables.
Purpose of Data Analysis Plan
The purpose of a data analysis plan is to gather useful
information to find solutions to research questions of
interest. It may be used to:
 describe data sets;
 determine the degree of relationship of variables;
 determine differences between variables; predict
outcomes; and
 compare variables.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
STATISTICS
DESCRIPTIVE INFERENTIAL
Measures of Central Tendency T- Test (Test of Significance of
Mean Difference)
Median
Mode ANOVA (Analysis of Variance)

Measures of Dispersion Pearson (r) Correlation


Range
Average (mean) Deviation Chi-Square Test
Standard Deviation
Presenting and
Interpreting Data in
Tabular and Graphical
Forms
Textual Presentation of Data
Textual presentation use words, statements or paragraphs with
numeral, numbers or measurement to describe data.

Tabular Presentation of Data


It presents a table that is clear and organized. A table must
be clear and simple but complete.

Graphical Methods of Presenting Data


A graph or chart portrays the visual presentation of data
using symbols such as lines, dots, bars or slices.
SUMMARY,
CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMAR
Y The summary of findings presents a
brief statement which includes the main
purpose of the study, the population sample
of respondents, the sampling design and
period of study.
It presents the summary of the major
findings of the study.
CONCLUSION
S
• The conclusions are based on the
findings of the study.
• The conclusions are clear and written in
simple language.
• The acceptance or rejection of a
hypothesis is stated as a conclusion.
RECOMMENDATION
S
Recommendations are based on the
results of your research and indicate the
specific measures or directions that can be
taken.
Recommendations are based on the
findings of the study. They should not be
based on your own beliefs or biases.
THANK
YOU!
