DATA

COLLECTION AND
ANALYSIS
Data
• in research is commonly defined as
the information gathered, listed, or
observed which aims to validate any
original findings of studies.
Data Analysis
• is considered as one of the most
crucial part in the process of doing a
research. Its goal is to summarize,
interpret, and present the collected
data.
Three types of Data:
1. Interval Data are usually consisted of numbers, it is also referred to as
quantitative or numerical data.

• Examples of Interval Data are height and weight.

2. Nominal Data may be names or categories. It is also referred to as qualitative or


categorical data.

• Some of its examples are Male, Female and Single, Married, Divorced, Widowed.

3. Ordinal Data are commonly categorical in nature, but their values are in order.
• Example of this is ratings such as Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent.
Data Presentation
• is referred to as a method wherein
people organize, summarize and
report information using multiple
tools such as tables, graphs and
diagrams.
Types of Data Presentation
1.Tabulation- is a systematic,
organized and logical
arrangement of
data/information in rows and
columns.
Types of Data Presentation
2. Graph- a very effective visual tool as it easily
shows data at a glance. It may facilitate
comparison and contrast and may also reveal
trends and relationships within the data such
as changes over time, frequency distribution,
and correlation or relative share of a whole.
• It is important to use a data collection method that will help
answer your research question/s.

• Many data collection methods can be either qualitative or


quantitative.

• For example, in surveys, observations or case studies, your


data can be represented as numbers (e.g. using rating
scales or counting frequencies) or as words (e.g. with open-
ended questions or descriptions of what you observe).
However, some methods are more commonly used in one
type or the other.
Common types of research data:
• When it comes to the analysis of data,
there is a difference with how a
researcher processes a Qualitative
Research Data and Quantitative
Research Data.
Analyzing Qualitative Data
• In analyzing data gathered for a Qualitative Research,
content analysis is commonly utilized. It is defined as
the procedure for the categorization of verbal or
behavioral data, for purposes of classification,
summarization and tabulation. It is often collected from
interviews conducted, focus group discussions, mere
observation, and documentary analysis.
• The content can be analyzed on two levels:

1.Basic level or the manifest level: a descriptive


account of the data i.e. this is what was said, but no
comments or theories as to why or how.
2.Higher level or latent level of analysis: a more
interpretive analysis that is concerned with the
response as well as what may have been inferred or
implied.
Analyzing Quantitative Data

•
In analyzing Quantitative Data, it
may involve frequencies of variables, test
of difference, test of relationship,
statistical tests or instruments to
estimate the significance of the results
and the probability that it did not occur
by chance.
Mean and Weighted mean
Mean - is the average of a data set. It can be calculated by adding up
all of the numbers in the data set and then dividing by the total
number of values in the set.

Weighted mean - a type of arithmetic mean, which is


calculated by multiplying each value in a data set by a weight
and then adding up the results. The weighted mean is often
used when the values in a data set are not all of equal
importance. The weight can be thought of as a measure of the
importance of each value in the data set.
