This document discusses different methods for collecting data, including qualitative approaches that seek to understand "how" and "why", quantitative approaches that measure "what" through standardized surveys and comparisons, and mixed methods that combine qualitative and quantitative techniques. It notes limitations of quantitative approaches and benefits of mixed methods. Specific techniques covered include surveys, interviews, and triangulation using multiple data sources.

explanation of similarities and unexpected
differences.
▪ Lack of necessary resources to ensure rigorous
implementation of surveys
▪ Low participation

5. Mixed Methods
▪ Combining both qualitative and quantitative
research data, techniques, and methods within
a single research framework

6. Surveys
▪ A good way to gather large amount of
data, providing a broad perspective.
▪ Can be administered electronically, by
phone, by mail, or face to face.

7. Interviews
▪ Interviews can be conducted face to face
or by telephone.
▪ They can range from in-depth, semi-
structured to unstructured depending on
the information being sought.

8. Triangulation
▪ Triangulation methods use multiple forms
of data collection, such as focus groups,
observation and in-depth interviews to
investigate the evaluation objectives.
