Methods of Data Collection in Quantitative Research (Biostatistik)AKak Long
DEFINITION : Quantitative research, is defined as a the systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical or computational techniques.
Quantitative research gathers information from existing and potential customers using sampling methods and sending out online surveys, online polls, questionnaires etc., the results of which can be depicted in the form of numericals.
After careful understanding of these numbers to predict the future of a product or service and make changes accordingly.
Described as the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer research questions, test hypothesis and evaluate outcome.
Importance of data collection:
Helps us search for answers and resolutions
Facilitates and improve decision-making processes and the quality of the decisions made.
#Types of quantitative research.
. Survey research
The collection of data attained by asking individuals questions by either in person, on paper, by phone or online.
2. Correlational research
Measures two variables, understand assess the statistical relationship between them with no influence from any extraneous variable.
3. Casual-comparative research
To find relationship between independent and dependent variables after an action or event has already occurred.
4. Experimental research
Researcher manipulates one variables, and control/randomizes the rest of the variables.
Research Methods: Design and Analysis. Covering the research cycle, research questions, operationalization of variables, literature review, research designs, sampling method, instrumentation, data collection, validity, reliability, data analysis plan, and sample size
this presentation file is all about the mixed method design for the research study and for those researchers who actually want to mixed two kinds of methods at a time. i hope it will help you and for your research.
Triangulation research is all about the integration of data, method, investigators, and settings. there is a description of various types of triangulation and their impact on the validity of the results. there is a slight introduction to meta-analysis and systematic review.

Introduction to UX Research: Conducting Focus GroupsWilliam Evans
Let’s dispense with this little turd blossom right up front: Henry Ford never said, “If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have said "a faster horse,”
– it’s simply an myth
This is an introduction to the fundamentals of doing customer research with an emphasis on Focus Groups. This is part of the introduction to ux research series. In this talk we walk through the basics of focus groups, types of focus groups, as well as an in-depth explanation of process and pitfalls.
Research is usually conducted to gain a deep understanding of the client’s target users in order to apply a customer-centered approach to the strategic development of the client’s brand and product. In addition, focus groups seeks to reveal insights into how the target customers emotions, attitudes, beliefs, and experiences in using existing products and brands.
Data collection - Statistical data are a numerical statement of aggregates. Data, generally, are obtained through properly organized statistical inquiries conducted by the investigators. Data can either be from primary or secondary sources.

Coding qualitative data for non-researchersKelley Howell
We were pleasantly surprised by the success of a Net Promoter Survey. Thus, our good problem to have was: a lot more qualitative data to sift through than we expected. Our contingency plan was to gather product managers, interns, and analysts and teach them how to code (label) qualitative data. We did this by running two "war room" session. We grabbed our laptops and tackled the coding all together in two day-long sustained sessions.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
4. What is CONTENT ANALYSIS?
0 Method used to collect and analyse data.
0 A technique that enables researchers to study human
behaviour through analysis of their communication.
0 A methodology that is often used in conjunction with
other methods; historical and ethnographic research.
6. CATEGORIZATION
• Determines categories before
analysis begins1 – Preset
categories
• Become familiar with the
descriptive information
collected
• And allows the categories to
emerge
2 Emergent
categories
8. 1. Determine Objectives
0 Some reasons to do content analysis:
0 To obtain descriptive information about a topic
0 To formulate themes
0 To check other research findings
0 To obtain information useful in dealing with
educational problems
0 To test hypotheses
9. 2. Define Terms
0 To avoid frustrations, terms need to be clearly defined
beforehand or as the research progresses.
3. Specify Unit of Analysis
0 Be sure of the unit that is being analysed – what is
analysed; words? Sentences? Phrases?
10. 4. Locate Relevant Data
0 Locate the relevant data that will be analysed which
are relevant to the OBJECTIVES.
0 The relationship between the content to be analysed
and the objectives should be clear.
0 HOW TO ENSURE THIS?
HAVE A SPECIFIC RESEARCH QUESTION (AND
POSSIBLY A HYPOTHESIS)
11. 5. Develop a Rationale
0 A conceptual link is required to explain how the data
are related to the objectives.
0 Sometimes, the link between question and content
can be obviously seen. E. g. A study on bias in
advertisement study the contents of newspaper &
magazine advertisements.
12. 0 However, it may not always be the case. E. g. A study on
changes in perception towards police officers study the
way they are portrayed in short stories in magazine
published at different times.
0 Content analysis – use available materials.
0 To generate own data – use OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS.
0 Then the data will be analysed.
13. 6. Develop a Sampling Plan
0 Any form of communication may be sampled at any
conceptual level that is appropriate.
0 Example: Television programmes may be sampled by
type, channel, sponsor, producer, or time of day
shown.
14. Examples of Sampling
Designs
Purposive Sampling
Design
Select only the
samples which
researcher find have
specific purpose for
the research
This relies on the
researcher’s
previous knowledge
Random
Sampling
Each & every
member of the
population has an
equal and
independent chance
of being selected
15. 0 Cluster Sampling
• The researcher divides the entire
subjects into different subgroups.
• And then randomly selects the final
subjects proportionally from different
strata. ( http://sociology.about.com )
Stratified
Sampling
• The entire population is divided into groups,
or clusters and a random sample, of these
clusters are selected.
• All observations in the selected clusters are
included in this sample. (
http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/glossary/?q=nod
e/65)
Cluster
Sampling
16. 7. Formulate Coding
Categories
0 Formulate categories that are relevant to the
investigation.
0 Categories should be EXPLICIT that other researcher
could use them.
0 Categories developed often emerge from the date.
0 It is a complex process.
17.
18. Manifest Content (MC) vs. Latent
Content (LC)
0 MC content of a communication refers to the obvious,
surface content;
0 They are directly accessible.
0 No inferences or underlying meaning are necessary.
0 ADVANTAGE Easier coding and reliability
0 DISADVANTAGE Validity
WORDS, PICTURE
S, IMAGES ETC
19. 0 LC refers to the meaning underlying what is said or shown.
0 Example; a researcher might read through the entire
outline or sample of pages.
0 From there the researcher will make an overall assessment
of the degree of a certain aspect they’ve analysed.
0 ADVANTAGE Getting the underlying meaning
0 DISADVANTAGE Reliability
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES,
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
22. 8. Check Reliability &Validity
0 How to check RELIABILITY?
Selecting second sample of materials or
dividing the original sample in half.
23. 0 How to check VALIDITY?
Check MC against LC and compare
either or both with results from
different instruments.
24. 9. Analyse Data
0 The end product of the coding process MUST BE NUMBERS.
0 Common ways of doing this are by recording:
0 the frequencies of a particular incident or item and
0 the proportion of particular occurrences to total
occurrences
0 Developing themes based on the particular coding from the
study.
0 Using computer analysis to interpret coded data, or to
develop the initial categories used in the analysis.
0 http://prezi.com/0mw0ozuuh1vy/ch-20-content-analysis/
25. Column 1 – List of newspapers by numbers
Column 2 – List of location
Column 3 – List of circulation
Column 4 – Number of editorials coded for each paper
Column 5 – Subjective assessment by the researcher of each newspaper’s
editorial policy
Column 6 & 7 – Record the number of certain types of editorials
26. Illustration of Content
Analysis
An analysis of all the research studies
published in Theory and Research in Social
Education (TRSE), 1979 – 1986.
27. The Analysing Process
0 Read the studies that was published during the period
that fell in ONE of these categories.
0 To test their agreement They read the same studies
& categorized them. After that, they compared.
0 They had almost similar categories & added some
subcategories and new categories.
28. FINAL SET OF
CATEGORIES (pg.
487)
• They reread the
initial six &
remaining 40 using
the new categories.
• Sat down &
compared their
assessments.
• Although there
were some
disagreements,
they finally came to
an agreement with
the assessments.
29. Using Computer Analysis
0 Word processing programmes; using the ‘find’ command.
0 Examples of qualitative computer programmes; ATLAS.ti,
QSR, NUD*IST, Nvivo and HyperResearch.
0 They identify words, phrases, sentences, tabulate their
occurrences, print and tabulate graphs and sort and
regroup words, phrases, sentences according to how they fit
in a particular set of categories.
35. Advantages & Disadvantages
ADVANTAGES DIASADVANTAGES
It is UNOBTRUSIVE Limited to recorded information
Useful in analysing INTERVIEW
& OBSERVATIONAL DATA
