Establishing Appropriate

Method of Data Collection

Lesson 5. CAPSTONE PROJECT


At the end of the module, learners will
be able to:

•Select appropriate methods of data


collection (STEM_RP12-IIa-e-7)
•Develop the criteria that will
address the completeness of the
data collection method
(STEM_RP12-IIa-e-8)
• Data, plural for datum, are gathered facts,
quantities, numbers, or any information used
as bases for findings in formulating the
hypotheses.
• Data are the facts, figures, and other
evidence gathered through observations.
• Data also reveal unsatisfactory conditions
that need to be improved. The application of
newly discovered facts and principles to
remedy unsatisfactory conditions becomes the
basis of the human progress and the
improvement of the quality of human life.
Classification of Data According to
source
• 1.Primary Data – data that has been collected from
the first-hand experience.
• a. Individual persons
• b. Organized groups or organizations ex. Association
• c. Established practices ex. system
• d. Documents in their original form ex. Laws
• e. Living organism such as animals
• f. Man-made material things such as electricity
• g. Natural objects and phenomena such as rain, wind
• 2.Secondary Data – data collected
from a source that has been published in
any form.
• a. Books
• b. Articles
• c. Unpublished studies
• d. Monographs, manuscripts
• e. All other second-hand sources
*Secondary data are verbal (written)data
•Data Collection is a process of
collecting information from all
the relevant sources to find
answers to the research
problems, test the hypothesis
and evaluate the outcome.
Selecting the Method of
Collecting Data
•There are two categories
in collecting data:
A.Clerical Tools
B.Mechanical Devices
In investigative research we use the following methods of data collection.
Pros and Cons of Data Collection
• Resources
• When the population is large, a sample
survey has a big resource advantage
over a census. A well-design sample
survey can provide a very precise
estimates of population parameters –
quicker, cheaper, and with less
manpower than a census
Pros and Cons of Data Collection
• Generalizability
• It refers to the appropriateness of applying
findings from a study to a larger population.
Generalizability requires random selection. If
participants in a study are randomly selected
from a larger population, it is appropriate to
generalize study results to the larger
population; if not, it is not appropriate to
generalize.
Pros and Cons of Data Collection
• Causal Inference
• Cause-and-effect relationships can be
teased out when subjects are randomly
assigned to groups. Therefore,
experiments, which allow the researcher
to control assignment of subjects to
treatment groups, are the best method of
investigating causal relationships.

Collection Method

• Data Quality
• Data quality is a top consideration. The cost
is almost immaterial if the data is not high
enough quality to have meaningful action
on. When you are evaluating different
research approaches, it is important to
understand which one will yield the kind of
quality insights that you are looking for.

Collection Method

• Effectiveness and Impact


• The effectiveness and impact of an
experimental research initiative can be
connected to two specific areas. The first is
how closely the research design and data
collection strategy aligns with your
objectives. The second is how the analysis
will be conducted and presented in order to
help internalize and act on that information.
The Criteria that will Address the Completeness of Data
Collection Method

• Timeliness of results
• Our notion of timeliness has changed in terms of
experimental research. It is used to be that
observation or investigation completed days or
weeks after an experiment was done. But the speed
of result and the rate at which technology allows us
to collect information has accelerated. Now it is
possible to collect and analyze different data points
before, during and after the procedure of
experimentation. Is the mode of data collection you
are considering providing insights at the right speed
The Criteria that will Address the Completeness of Data
Collection Method

• Cost
• Cost remains a factor. The cost of an output of
investigative project research is relevant vis a vis
the potential profits from its insights as well as in
comparison to the amount spent. Researchers
are encouraged to learn how dramatically the
advent of new technologies has impacted the
cost of the market research, putting complex
processes such as concept testing affordably into
the hands of smaller companies and brands.
The Criteria that will Address the Completeness of Data
Collection Method

• Data Security
• With the increasing proliferation of digital
technology, data security remains a
paramount concern. Since information
provides an important competitive
advantage, researchers are also concerned
with safeguarding their proprietary
investigation or output project as well.
The Criteria that will Address the Completeness of Data
Collection Method

• Familiarity with Methods


• Everyone understands the basic concepts of
how scientific method is applied. Newer
methodologies with the application of high
technology apparatus for testing and
investigation has great help for further
exploration. In particular, it is important to
understand how well-tested each method is and
the types of insights that they are likely to yield.
The Criteria that will Address the Completeness of Data
Collection Method

• Convenience
• Convenience remains a factor in data
collection during experimentation. A research
methodology that would require devoting
significant amounts of time in reaching out
the objectives, for example the availability of
the materials and accessibility of all the
procedures needed to come up to a
successful experimental project
The Criteria that will Address the Completeness of Data
Collection Method

• New and Different


• The novelty of a new research approach is
often its first appeal. The real question that
needs to follow is: “What does this allow us
to do differently or better?”. If a new
technology provides a unique insight or
increases efficiency in a meaningful way,
then it is worth considering on those merits.
