Lesson 18 Quantitative Data Collection Methods

The document discusses quantitative data collection methods and analysis. It describes primary and secondary sources of data, and methods of collecting quantitative data including interviews, questionnaires, observations, tests, and secondary data. Specific data collection tools like checklists and rating scales are also discussed. The document then explains quantitative analysis, including collecting numerical data, transforming observations into numbers, proposing hypotheses, using inferential statistics to test relationships and differences between variables, and determining statistical significance.

QUANTITATIVE DATA

COLLECTION METHODS
SOURCES OF DATA
 1. Primary sources
 data collected from
primary sources
 known as raw data which
can be collected
 from the original sources
in a controlled or
uncontrolled environment.
 data collected through
experimental research are
example of data obtained
 in a controlled
environment, while data
collected from observation
or questionnaire survey in a
natural setting are example
of data obtained in an
uncontrolled enviroment.
2. Secondary sources
 called secondary data
 obtained from secondary
sources such as reports,
books, journals, documents,
magazines, the web and
more.
Data Collection Methods
 1. Interview
 a. Structured interview
 b. face-to-face
interviews
 c. telephone interviews
 d. Computer-Assisted
Personal Interviewing
 2. Questionnaires
 a. paper-pencil-
questionnaires
 b. Web-based questionnare
 c. self-administered
questionnaires
Questionnaires often make
 use checklist and rating
scales.
Checklist is a list of
behaviors, characteristics,
or other entities that the
researcher is looking for
Rating scale is more useful
when a behavior needs to be
evaluated on a continuum.
It states the criteria and
provide 3 or more
responses to describe the
quality or frequency of a
behavior, skills, strtegies or
variables of the study.
3. Observations
 It is a way of gathering
data by watching behavior,
events, or noting physical
characteristics in their
natural setting.
overt and covert ...
 recording sheets and
checklists are ways of
collecting observation data
 4. Tests provide a way to
assess subjects’ knowledge
and capacity to apply this
 knowledge to new
situations.
 5. Secondary data is a type
of quantitative data that has
already been collected by
someone else for a purpose
different from yours
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

 It is a systematic
approach to
investigations during
which numerical data are
 collected and the
researcher transforms what
are collected or observed
into numerical data.
 A hypothesis is where a
predicted answer to a
research question is proposed
 Inferential statistics is
subdivided into tests to
measure relationships and
differences between
variables.
 Are used to identify if a
 relationship or difference
between variables is
statistically significant.
 Statistical significance
helps the researcher to ryle
out one important threat to
validity and the result
 could be due to chance
rather than to real
differences in the
population.
Construct your Research Procedure
Describe in detail the phases of your data
gathering procedure and the specific steps
for each phase that you will take in carrying
out your research study.
Enumerate all the activities you will
undertake to complete your study. Describe
each activity in detail to help future
researchers who would want to replicate your
study.
