Study Notes
Quantitative Data Collection
- Quantitative research involves collecting and analyzing numerical data.
- Data collection procedures differ in terms of the type of data produced.
- Research data are recorded materials based on evidence and systematic observations.
- Information is processed data forming a meaningful context useful for research.
- Quantitative data is classified into primary and secondary data.
- Primary data is based on firsthand observations and experiences, it includes:
- Journal and diary entries; records and documentation during data gathering.
- Evaluative records; evaluating projects to depict response rates from a sample or population.
- Artifacts, specimens, and laboratory samples; used in experimental research.
- Frameworks and methodologies; found in journal articles based on experimental research results.
- Survey forms & polls; gathering collective information regarding topics.
- Official statistics; data gathered by government bodies on samples.
- Secondary data is interpreted data based on primary data, it includes:
- Web information; information found on the internet.
- Journal, news articles, and published research; existing information on issues or phenomena.
Quantitative Survey
- Quantitative Survey; use questionnaires with closed-ended questions and set answers.
- Advantages: convenient for large populations and areas, generalizable results.
- Disadvantages: limited by predetermined choices, difficult to control responses, restriction in analysis, difficulty in monitoring responses, information about the respondents is limited.
- Examples: satisfaction surveys on food and beverage, survey research on degree program preference.
Quantitative Interview
- Quantitative Interview; involves standardized questions, structured interview formats, and various question methods (face-to-face, telephone, web-based).
- Face-to-Face Interviews: gathers data through personal interaction using structured interview questions.
- Advantages: open communication, prompt replies during clarifications.
- Disadvantages: unsuitable for large populations, expensive, time-consuming.
- Telephone Interviews: done through telephone or online calling platforms.
- Advantages: less expensive and more convenient, conducted despite location differences.
- Disadvantages: time-consuming, technical difficulties.
- Web-based Interviews: collects data using online platforms with audio and/or video capabilities.
- Advantages: cost-efficient and convenient, conducted despite location differences.
- Disadvantages: issues on software and hardware, possible technical difficulties.
Quantitative Observation
- Quantitative Observation; involves following a structured procedure in observation to acquire reliable information for analysis.
- Advantages: makes insights and perspectives through observation, behaviors and body language may be observed, can be done in groups, efficient.
- Disadvantages: may be subjected to bias, there may be little to no control over the environment, consciousness among respondents may bring irregularities.
- Examples: number of people passing through an area, attention spans of students based on teaching strategies.
Experiments
- Experiments; involve manipulation of variables to test hypotheses under controlled or uncontrolled conditions (laboratory or field).
- Laboratory Experiments: follows a scientific approach in design and execution; researcher has strict control over variables.
- Advantages: can demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships between variables, possible replications.
- Disadvantages: results can be prone to extraneous or confounding variables, difficult to generalize results.
- Field Experiments: take place in a natural environment, the researcher cannot manipulate variables and only observes cause and effect relationship.
- Advantages: natural settings may have high validity, does not require strict control over environment, allows creation of more questions about processes and activities.
- Disadvantages: researchers have little control over variables, prone to extraneous variables, difficult to replicate, results can be difficult to generalize.
- Examples: antibacterial effect of plants on wounds, combustion rate of fossil fuels, aquaculture based on pH level and temperature, experiment on the ability of a certain plant to filter air.
Choosing a Data Collection Method
- Analyze the nature of your research and variables.
- Assess the availability of material resources.
- Prepare a timeline of activities.
- Select two data collection methods and explain their use in a researched topic of your strand.
