Data Collection Tools: Validity & Reliability.
Objectives:
Discuss types of measurement tools for collecting data for quantitative, qualitative and outcome research.
Differentiate between interview guide and interview schedule
Discuss reliability and validity of questionnaires.
Data:
The set of values collected for the variable of each of the elements belonging to the sample
Data sources include (Quantitative)
Surveys where there are a large number of respondents (esp where you have used a Likert scale)
Questionnaires, data collection tools/ instruments
Observations (counts of numbers and/or coding data into numbers)
Secondary data (government data; SATs scores etc)
Analysis techniques include hypothesis testing, correlations and cluster analysis.
Data sources include (Qualitative)
Interviews (structured, semi-structured or unstructured)
Focus groups
Questionnaires or surveys
Secondary data, including diaries, self-reporting, written accounts of past events/archive data and company reports;
Direct observations – may also be recorded (video/audio)
Ethnography
Data analysis; thematic or content analysis .
Data Collection:
“The process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer queries, stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.”
Data Collection Methods:
Surveys, quizzes, and questionnaires
Interviews
Focus groups
Direct observations
Documents and records.
Data Collection Tools for Quantitative Research:
Closed-ended Surveys and Online Quizzes
Closed-ended surveys and online quizzes are based on questions that give respondents predefined answer options to opt for. There are two main types of closed-ended surveys – those based on categorical and those based on interval/ratio questions.
Categorical survey questions can be further classified into dichotomous (‘yes/no’), multiple-choice questions, or checkbox questions and can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no” or a specific piece of predefined information.
Interval/ratio questions, on the other hand, can consist of rating-scale, Likert-scale, or matrix questions and involve a set of predefined values to choose from on a fixed scale.
Data Collection Tools for Qualitative Research:
1. Open-Ended Surveys and Questionnaires
Opposite to closed-ended are open-ended surveys and questionnaires. The main difference between the two is the fact that closed-ended surveys offer predefined answer options the respondent must choose from, whereas open-ended surveys allow the respondents much more freedom and flexibility when providing their answers.
2. In-depth Interviews/ Face to Face Interviews
One-on-one (or face-to-face) interviews are one of the most common types of data collection methods in qualitative research. Here, the interviewer collects data directly from the interviewee.
data collection is just systematic way approach for gather and measure information form variety source for the aim of get complete and accurate of an area that interested
ACTIVITY 1
Chosen Research Design: Qualitative
Why do you think this design is appropriate to your research interest?
Based on my understanding of qualitative research, I believe it can be appropriate for certain types of research questions. In my view, qualitative research is particularly useful for exploring complex phenomena, gaining insights into people's experiences and perspectives, and developing theory. I also recognize that it can be valuable in applied settings, such as healthcare or social work, where understanding people's experiences is crucial for improving practice.
Guide Questions
1. Did you remember the research design listed in the table?
YES, I have remembered all the research design listed in the table.
2. What other research designs did you recall which is/ are not listed in the table?
Longitudinal Study
Cross-sectional Study
Survey Research
Action Research
Participatory Action Research
Grounded Theory
Ethnographic Research
3. Was it easy or hard to determine the research design to be used in your selected topic or interest?
For me, it is easy because in the first place I already have an idea where to start. I believe when you select a topic, you already considered what design you will use.
4. What are the factors that you consider in selecting a research design for your study?
As a researcher, I must consider various factors when selecting a qualitative research design for my study. These include the research question, the purpose of the study, the nature of the phenomenon being studied, and the available resources and time frame. Additionally, I must reflect on my own philosophical and theoretical perspectives to ensure that the chosen design aligns with my worldview and research goals.
Reflection
How does research design make your study colorful/ interesting?
As a researcher, I have come to appreciate how qualitative research design can add color and interest to a study. By using methods such as open-ended interviews, observations, and document analysis, I can capture the rich and complex experiences, perspectives, and contexts of the participants. This type of research allows me to delve deeper into the phenomenon being studied and gain a more nuanced understanding of it.
One of the benefits of using qualitative research is the ability to create vivid descriptions, quotes, and narratives that add depth and meaning to the study. It's fascinating to see how the data can come to life and offer a unique perspective on the topic. Additionally, I've found that unexpected findings often emerge during qualitative research, which can add to the intrigue and interest of the study.
Overall, I believe that qualitative research design offers a powerful way to explore the intricacies and nuances of human experience. It enables me to create a study that is more compelling and engaging, as well as provides insights that cannot be obtained through other research methods.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
2. Data collection refers to the procedure of
collecting, measuring and analyzing
accurate insights for research using
standard validated technique
Researchers can evaluate their
hypothesis on the basis of collected data
3. In most cases, data collection is the
primary and most important step to
research, irrespective of the field of
research
The approach of data collection varies
depending on different fields of study,
depending on the required information
4. A research instrument is a
tool used to collect, measure
and analyze data related to
your research interests
6. 1. INTERVIEWS
interview is a data gathering technique that makes you
verbally ask the subjects or respondents questions to give
answers to what your research study is trying to look for. Done
mostly in qualitative research studies, interview aims at
knowing what the respondents think and feel about the topic of
your research.
All in all, be it a traditional or a modern type of interview, “it is
a conversation with a purpose” that gives direction to the
question-answer activity between the interviewer and the
interviewee. (Babbie 2014, 137; Rubin 2011
7.
8. 1. STRUCTURED- questioning follows a
particular sequence, has well-defined
content
2. UNSTRUCTURED- free-wheeling exchange
of ideas, in the form of normal conversation
3. SEMI-STRUCTURED- has set of questions
prepared and additional probes in a closed
or open ended manner
9. Analyzing secondary data from sources or
documents
Example: data on the number of
unemployment rate in La Trinidad, Benguet
Example: data on the number of Food Trucks
in Baguio City
10. Watching what people do.
A type of correlational (non-experimental) method
where researchers observe ongoing behavior.
The researcher participates actively in the conduct of
the research
Observation Guide/observation checklist
(instrument)
This method can gather information like person’s
characteristics/conditions, verbal or non-verbal
communications, activities, environmental conditions
11. 1. STRUCTURED- uses a checklist as a data
collection. Checklist as a data collection
tool. Specifies expected behaviors of interest
and the researcher records the frequency
occurrences of the behavior.
2. UNSTRUCTURED- observes things as they
happen. The researcher conducts
observation without any preconceived ideas
about what will be observed.
12. The most commonly used
instrument in research
A list of questions about a
research topic
14. 1. STRUCTURES- provides possible
answers/with choices.
2. UNSTRUCTURED- does not provide
options or choices
15. The related literature and studies must have
sufficient information and data to enable the
researcher to thoroughly understand the variables
being investigated in the study.
Indicators for the specific variable must refer to the
descriptive information gathered from different
sources
This indicators are used to make sure that the
contents of your questionnaire is valid
16. 1.Yes or No Type
2.Recognition Type
3.Completion Type
4.Coding Type
5.Subjective Type
24. 1. PROBABILITY SAMPLING- every
member of the population has a known
and equal chance of being selected.
2. NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING-
likelihood of being selected as member of
the population is unknown
25. 1. RANDOM SAMPLING-
each individua is
chosen entirely by
chance but each
member of the
population has an equal
chance of being
included in the sample
29. 1. HAPHAZARD OR CONVENIENCE
SAMPLING- elements that are most
accessible or easier to contact
Usually friends, acquaintances,
volunteers and subjects who are willing and
available during the conduct of the study.
30.
31. The researcher chooses a sample that agrees with his/her
subjective judgment of a representative sample.
Relies mainly on the researcher’s expertise in identifying
the criteria of a representative sample.
32. The researcher sets a quota or
number of sampling units to be
included in each grouping but uses
convenience sampling to select the
units within the grouping
33. Group of people selected to distinguish
and evaluate all aspects or qualities of
food products
Sensory panel types: Trained and
Untrained
34.
35. This refers to a scientific method used
to evoke, measure, analyze and
interpret responses to products
perceived through the senses of sight,
smell, touch, taste and hearing (Stone
& Sidel, 2002; Prell, 1976)
37. 1. PREFERENCE TEST. Allow consumers express
choice between samples.
It measures the appeal of one product when
compared against others (Colwill, 1987; Watta,
1989)
It is useful when one product is compared
directly against another, as in product
improvement or against competing products.
39. Directly measures the degree of
liking and acceptability of
products.
Includes 5, 7, 9-point scale and 9-
point facial scale for children.
40.
41.
42. Hedonic scales are well tried and tested in
consumer research for capturing liking data
(Stone and Siddel, 1985).
A version regularly used with consumers in
preference mapping studies to capture liking
scores.
43. Measures acceptance of a product by
a population
Measure of general attitude of a
population toward a product
44.
45. DATA GATHERING TOOL: Questionnaires
TYPE OF QUESTIONS: Combination (yes or no,
subjective, coding)
SAMPLING DESIGN: Probability- Convenience
Sampling: Quota Sampling
SENSORY PANELS: Untrained, 50 panelists
CONSUMER ORIENTED TEST: Acceptance test
HEDONIC TEST: 9 point
Editor's Notes
