Survey
Quantitative data can be collected using 4 main types

Gather data on work or employment data,
current occupation and competencies
needed in the workplace to determine gaps
in curriculum and other related activities
between academe and industry.
Quantitative Interview
The interview may be used for both quantitative and
qualitative research studies.
In conducting a quantitative interview, the researcher
prepares an interview guide or schedule. It contains the
list of questions and answers options that the researcher
will read to the respondents. May contain a close-ended

questionnaire:
 Validity
Determines how well the questionnaire measures what it is
intended to measure
 Reliability
Refers to how consistent responses are to the questions.
 Sensitivity
It is often measured using resampling
procedures to see how well the questionnaire
can differentiate at a fraction of the sample
size.
 Objectivity
To attain this measure, practitioners or
experts are requested to verify statements of
other practitioners in the same field
 Quantification
The standardized questionnaire has
undergone statistical analysis.
 Norms
The standardized questionnaire have
normalized references and databases which
allow one to convert raw scores to percentile
ranks.
Guide:
 Avoid leading questions.
 Be specific with what you like to measure
 For example, if you want to evaluate a program, be specific
with what aspect or measurement you like to evaluate in
the program, quality? effectiveness?
 Avoid unfamiliar words that the respondents might not be
familiar with
 Multiple choice categories should be mutually exclusive to
elicit clear choices
 Avoid personal questions
 Make your questions short and easy to answer
