DATA COLLECTION is the most


valuable tool of any type of research
study. Inaccurate data collection
may cause mistakes and ultimately
lead to invalid results.
TIPS in GATHERING DATA
 Organize collected data as soon
as it is available
 Know what message you want to
get across and then collect data
that is relevant to the message
 Collect more
 Regularly run experiments or
collect data
 Challenge your assumptions
 Set reasonable expectations
 Take note of interesting or
significant data
SURVEY (Questionnaire)
INTERVIEW
 and FOCUS GROUP
DISCUSSION
 SURVEYS are the most common way
to gather primary research with the
use of questionnaires or interview
schedule. These can be done via
direct mail, over the phone, internet
(e.g. Google) or email, face-to-face
or on Web (e.g. Skype or Viber).
 When designing or constructing your own
research questionnaire, remember the following
guidelines. (Edralin, 2016)

 Keep it simple as possible.


 Make sure it is clearly appealing and easy to
read.
 Move from complex questions to more specific
question
Make sure questions are concise
and easily understood.
Avoid questions that are difficult
to answer.
INTERVIEW is one of the most reliable
and credible ways of getting relevant
information from target customers. It is
typically done in personal between the
researcher/entrepreneur and a respondent
where the researcher asks pertinent
questions that will give significant pieces
of information about the problem that he
will solve.
The interview is also helpful
even when the business has
already started because the
customers’ feedback provides
the entrepreneur a glimpse of
what the customers think
about the business
In a structured interview, the researcher asks a standard
set of questions and nothing more (Leedy and Ormrod,
2001)

Personal interviews are the traditional method


of conducting an interview. It allows the researcher
to establish relationship with potential participants
and therefore gain their cooperation. They also allow
the researcher to clarify indefinite answers and when
necessary, seek follow-up information.
Telephone interviews are less
expensive and less time
consuming, but the disadvantages
are that the response rate is not as
high as the face-to- face interview,
but considerably higher than the
mailed questionnaire
FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION (FGD)
- is an excellent method for generating
and screening ideas and concepts. It
can be a moderated group interviews
and brainstorming sessions that
provide information on user’s needs
and behaviors.
The following are considerations in the use of focus
group discussions in market research:
1. The length of the session is between 90
and 120 minutes.
2. Usually, conduct focus groups discussion
with 8 to 10 participants per group.
3. Assign an expert moderator / facilitator
who can manage group dynamics.
4. Use a semi-structure or open-format
discussion.
Aside from the main basic groups of research
methods (quantitative, qualitative and mixed),
there are different tools that can be used to
collect data. Interviews can be done either in
personal or over the phone.
Surveys/questionnaires can be paper or web
based. Focus Group Discussions can be
moderated group interviews and brainstorming
sessions that provide information on user’s
needs and behaviors
