 Lesson
Planning the Data Collection
1 Procedure
In our daily lives we always do things on a manner that is somewhat procedural. In every
routine thing we do, may it be taking a shower, brushing our teeth, or fixing a cup of coffee,
we have our own established step-by-step templates that we religiously follow. We are so
comfortable following the procedure that it is natural and innate to us when we are doing it.
The transition from one step to another is almost seamless that you might think that it is not a
series of steps but a single task.

If we are doing or trying new things or activity, it is natural for us to ask someone on how
to do it properly or look for the label that shows how we can assemble or how can we start
using it. We ask someone who already has a prior knowledge or experience about the proper
series of steps or procedure in operating a new gadget or machine or even cooking or baking
a particular dish or recipe.

In quantitative research, we must get our data either from our respondents or thru
observation of the subject of our research. Collecting the data is a tedious and expensive
process. Repeating the whole process because of mistake is both a waste of time and money.
That is why careful planning on how we can collect our data is a must.

This module will discuss the Data Collection Procedure in Quantitative Research and
how to properly plan for it.

 What’s In

Last year a new twist in one of our favorite Filipino breakfast takes the market by storm
and continue to flood the Philippine online market during the community quarantine period,
the ube cheese pandesal. Of course, I will not ask you to bake or purchase it for the sake of
learning the topics in Practical Research 2. But I will be presenting a recipe from an article
from kawaling.pinoy.com that will better introduce you to the importance of our topic.

Image courtesy of Gloria S. Garcia owner of Glorious Homemade Baked Goodies

The following is the recipe from the said article.

Step 1: prepare purple yam

• If using frozen grated ube, thaw completely and remove from package. Wrap the
thawed ube in aluminum foil, leaving a little opening on top, and place in a steamer
basket. Steam for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft. Allow to cool slightly and mash
until smooth, if needed. Use 1/2 cup.
• If using fresh ube, place one medium purple yam and enough water to cover in a
saucepan and cook over medium heat until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool to
touch. Peel the yam and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Use 1/2 cup.
• If using prepared ube halaya, use 1/2 cup jam and decrease sugar to 4 tablespoons.
• If using ube powder, reconstitute 1/4 cup 0f the powder with 3/4 cup hot water and stir
until smooth.

5
Step 2: make the dough
• In a mixing bowl, add the warm water at 105 to 115 F in temperature and sprinkle the
active dry yeast and one tablespoon of the sugar. Stir the mixture and let stand for
about 5 minutes, or until foamy.
• Add the softened butter, the eggs, the remaining sugar, warm milk, the mashed purple
yam, and salt. With a wooden spoon, stir the ingredients until well combined.
• Add 3 cups of the flour, one cup at a time, stirring well each addition. By this time, the
dough is starting to form a shaggy mass. Add just enough of the remaining flour to
manage stickiness and stir until the dough comes together in the center of bowl.
• Lightly grease a kneading board, and turn the dough out

Step 3: knead, proof, and assemble

• The dough will be sticky. To make kneading easier while keeping the bread texture
soft, use oil and a little amount of flour. Grease work surface and your hands as needed
and sprinkle the dough with flour, but do so sparingly as oversaturating the dough with
oil will keep it from rising and adding too much flour will make it dry.
• The dough will gradually lose its stickiness as you knead, but it will remain somewhat
tacky. To check if the dough is well-kneaded, do the windowpane test. Take a small
portion of the dough and with your fingers, stretch it out to form a square. A translucent
film should form in the center without breaking easily. The dough should be smooth
and elastic.
• Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise
for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until double in size.
• Gently deflate the risen dough and form into a 20 to 22-inch log. Cut the log vertically
in half and then cut each half into seven smaller portions to yield 14 portions.
• Using the palm of hands, flatten each dough portion and place a piece of cheese in
the center. Fold the dough around the cheese and form it into a smooth ball, tucking
the ends under to seal.
• Roll the dough in bread crumbs and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined
baking sheet.
• Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for about 40 to 60 minutes or until
puffy and have doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 20-23 minutes. Remove from the oven and
allow to slightly cool as the filling will be hot!

After reading the recipe and procedure in baking ube cheese pandesal you must answer
the following questions. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the following questions.
(You may ask someone who have an experience baking to help you answer the questions 1-
3.)

1. Why do you think there are 3 distinct steps in the procedure?

2. Can we interchange the procedure from one another?
3. Will the quality and taste of the ube cheese pandesal be the same if we interchange the
procedure?
4. Can we use the same principles you’ve discovered from this activity to Data Collection
Procedure in Quantitative research? Explain your answer by citing the similarities and
differences.

 What’s New

The picture above was lifted from a lesson in Elementary Science. What can you say
about the picture?

The picture somewhat summarizes the life cycle of a butterfly, and there are several
stages to it. Please answer the following questions.

1. Are the stages on the life cycle of butterfly connected with one another? In what ways?
2. How is it connected with our lesson for today?
3. Relate the life cycle of butterfly to the following.
a. Research
b. Life

In this age of anything instant, many people are keen of getting the finish product rather
than immerse themselves into the process. We are so busy to attend to many things that we
become slaves of commercialism. We are now forgetting the simple joy of appreciating simple
things like the scent of a flower in bloom or how beautiful the sunset is. We are too pre-
occupied of getting to the finish line. What makes travel memorable and enjoyable is not solely
on the destination but the journey we experience. Research and Life are both journeys. That
when we undergo the process, makes them both enjoyable.

7
 What is It

According to Pritha Bhandari in her article in scribber.com “Data collection is a

systematic process of gathering observations or measurements. Whether you are performing
research for business, governmental ,or academic purposes, data collection allows you to gain
first-hand knowledge and original insights into your research problem.” When we say
systematic, the first thing that comes to mind is that, it involves methodical procedure that
came from a thorough process of choosing the best alternative. Systematic means there is a
specific and precise procedure for every task. The data that we collected will then give the
researchers the much-needed information in its rawest form.

Meanwhile, in the article of John Dudovskiy for the British Research Methodology, “Data
collection is a process of collecting information from all the relevant sources to find answers
to the research problem, test the hypothesis and evaluate the outcomes. The main objective
of collecting the data is to answer the research question(s), to prove something about the
variables, and evaluating the results.

Furthermore, Dudovskiy stated that data collection methods can be divided into two
categories secondary data collection method and primary data collection method.

SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION METHODS - Secondary data comes from secondary

sources of which the data is already published in books, newspapers, magazines, journals,
online portals and other printed or digital materials. There are a lot of information that you can
use from these sources may it be in the field of business, engineering, medicine, education,
social sciences or technical-vocational. The researcher must then be keen towards the
selection of secondary data that they will use in their study. The researcher must consider the
secondary data to be used in their research because it will affect the research validity and
reliability. The researcher might include the date of publication, credential of the author,
reliability of the source, quality of discussions, depth of analyses, the extent of contribution of
the text to the development of the research area as some of the criteria in choosing secondary
data.

PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION METHODS – can be subdivided into qualitative and

quantitative data collection methods.

QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION METHODS – It is associated with non-quantifiable

factors such as emptions, words, sounds and colors and anything that do not involve numbers
and computations. In the same article by Dudovskiy he states that “Qualitative studies aim to
ensure greater level of depth of understanding”. The examples of qualitative data collection
methods include interviews, questionnaires with open-ended questions, focus groups,
observation, game or role-playing, case studies among others. The most frequently used
qualitative data collection models are open-ended questions, 1-on-1 Interview and focus
groups.

8
Open-Ended Questions- The respondents have more freedom and flexibility to answer the
questions as compared to close-ended questions. When creating open-ended questions you
have to consider the length of your survey and the complexity of the questions. To further
illustrate the difference between the two, Nemanja Jovancic provided an illustration in her
article.

Figure 1 retrieved from the article 5 collection methods for obtaining quantitative and qualitative data by Nemanja
Jovancic https://www.leadquizzes.com/blog/data-collection-methods/

1-on-1 Interview- Is one of the most common qualitative research data collection method.
The interviewer directly collects the data from the interviewee while the interview is being
done. This approach is perfect when you want to get highly personal information and
annotation for your research. The interview can be formal, informal, unstructured,
spontaneous or conversational and it depends on your needs.

Focus Groups- It is also an interview method but instead of interviewing a single person you
will be having a group discussion. Jovancic states that the ideal size of the focus group is
from 3-10 with an additional moderator. The members of the focus group must have a common
denominator that is the reason you put them into that particular focus group for you to get that
much needed data. For example, you are studying teenage pregnancy, all the members of the
focus group must be teenagers that experience pregnancy at a young age. If you want to
include in your research the point of view of a male, you might include the partners of the
teenage mothers otherwise your focus group must be an all-female ensemble.

9
 QUANTITATIVE DATA COLLECTION METHODS – It is associated with the different
forms and variations of mathematical calculations. The most frequently used quantitative data
collection methods are observation, experiments and Survey questionnaires with closed-
ended questions.

Observation – It is described as the gathering of information using the senses, wherein the
data collector observes and records all attributes related to the variables. The observation
may be done directly or indirectly with the use of accepted gadgets and apparatus. All
changes about his subject will be carefully measured while it is on their natural or controlled
environment. It is recommended that the observer must have a checklist to help in the proper
recording of data.

Experiment – It is used particularly in experimental and quasi-experimental research designs

wherein the effects of such a treatment or intervention will be measured after the chosen
subjects, participants, or respondents undergo the treatment or intervention.

Closed-ended survey questionnaire - It is based on questions that offers the respondents

a pre-determined answer options to choose from, with the aim to simplify and quantify the
behavior and attitude of the respondents. Closed-ended survey questionnaire can be
subdivided into categorical questions and to interval/ratio questions.

Categorical Questions - These are questions wherein the responses are categorized
hence the name. It 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- These are survey questions that can consist of rating-scale,
the most common of which is Likert-scale a scalar rating that quantifies the different degree of
negation and position of a category, or matrix questions and involve a set of predefined values
to choose from on a fixed scale.

Closed-ended survey questionnaire can also be categorized on the manner or

platform of which the questionnaire is administered. These are the following:

Paper-pencil-questionnaire –printed questionnaires are sent or personally delivered to

respondents. This type will be limited because of the pandemic wherein health protocols have
been set-up and paper-less transactions and communication is encouraged.

Web based questionnaires – the questionnaires are sent and retrieved electronically. This
would become more popular these days of the Pandemic because it limits the physical
contacts between researchers and respondents.

Quantitative methods are much cheaper to use they can be applied and replicated for a
shorter period as compared to qualitative methods. In addition, because of the high level of
standardization of quantitative methods the findings are much easier to be put in comparison
and evaluation. To summarize the differences between Qualitative and Quantitative methods
of collecting data the following table is presented.

Main differences between quantitative and qualitative methods

It is very important to ensure the accuracy and appropriateness of data collection.

Accurate data collection is integral to maintaining the integrity of the research regardless of
the field of study. According to the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) website at
Northern Illinois University the following are the consequences from improperly collected data:
• inability to answer research questions accurately
• inability to repeat and validate the study
• distorted findings resulting in wasted resources
• misleading other researchers to pursue fruitless avenues of investigation
• compromising decisions for public policy
• causing harm to human participants and animal subjects

In order to maintain the integrity of the data collection procedure, the researchers must
be careful and religious in following a pre-determined procedure in collecting data.

In the article by Pritha Bhandari in scribbr.com, she identifies a step-by-step guide to

data collection.

STEP 1 DEFINE THE AIM OF YOUR RESEARCH- Before proceeding to data collection or
anything else, the first thing researchers must be clear with is to know the objectives of the
research. They can start by writing the statement of the problem and its specific objectives.

Examples of Quantitative Research aims

ABM – You aim to assess if there is a significant difference in the perceptions of consumers
on delivery service providers across the socio-economic spectrum.

Arts and Design – You aim to establish and compare the level of self-efficacy of A&D students
in selected school in the Division of Malolos.

11
HUMSS – You aim to establish and compare the level of nationalism of SHS in public and
private schools.

Sports- You aim to establish the relationship between the length of training to the winnability
of student athletes.

STEM – You aim to establish what combination of soil and organic fertilizer from banana peels
will yield the largest and heaviest lettuce.

TVL – You aim to assess the relationship of the absences of TVL students to their NCII
Certification result.

STEP 2 CHOOSE YOUR DATA COLLECTION METHOD - base on the aims of your research
you can determine the data you want to collect. The data you want to collect will determine
the Data Collection Method appropriate for it. The table below will help you decide the most
appropriate Data Collection Method for your research.

STEP 3 PLAN YOUR DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES – After deciding which method
is the most appropriate for your research you will then have to make the plan on how to
execute it. There are several concepts involve in planning the data collection procedures.

1. OPERATIONALIZATION - it means that we must turn abstract conceptual ideas into

measurable information. We must turn conceptual definition of the variables into an
operational definition that we can measure.

Example of Operationalization:

ABM – You want to measure the perceptions of consumers on delivery service providers. You
can operationalize the conceptual concept by assessing the consumers rating their perception
using a 4-point scale based on the reliability, speed and price of delivery service providers.

Arts and Design – You want to measure the level of self-efficacy of A&D students. You can
operationalize it by using a 4-point scale the students will do a self-assessment rating on their
knowledge, skills and artistry.

HUMSS – You want to measure the level of Nationality. You can operationalize it by using a
4-point scale using the student's perception on their attitudes toward law, censorship, and
patriotism.

Sports- You want to measure the winnability of student athletes, you can operationalize it by
getting the percentage of their winnings over their total number of games/competitions.

STEM – You want to identify which combination of soil and organic fertilizer from banana peel
will yield the largest and heaviest lettuce. You can operationalize it by getting the mean of all
the replicates for each of the combination.

TVL – You want to measure the degree of relationship between absences of TVL students to
the result of their NCII Certification. You can operationalize it by correlating the mean
absences of the students to the passing rate of the said TVL students to the NCII Certification.

2. SAMPLING – The researchers must develop a sampling plan to systematically obtain the
data needed for the study. It involves defining the population and the sample. The sampling
method will help you determine how to choose the sample or respondents of the study.

3. STANDARDIZING PROCEDURES- researches in the Senior High School are done by

multiple members. A detailed standardized procedure must be observed by all the
members when collecting data. This means the group must lay a specific step-by-step
instruction so that everyone in the group collects the data in accordance with the instruction
that will ensure the reliability of the data being collected.

13
4. CREATING A DATA MANAGEMENT PLAN- You must decide on how to organize and
store the data even before you start collecting it.
a. You must protect the anonymity of your respondents to prevent the leakage of sensitive
information protected by Data Privacy Law.
b. Transcribe data from paper and pencil questionnaire or web-based questionnaire in a
systematic manner to minimize distortion.
c. Organize the data and regularly back-up files to prevent loss of data.

STEP 4 COLLECT DATA - This is the stage wherein the Plan is implemented. The researcher
will observe, measure and collect the data of the variable they are interested in using their
chosen method.

What’s More

The activities in data collection procedure can be sub-divided into 3 phases Before,
During and After collection of data. Write in a separate sheet of paper if each listed activity
is done before, during or after data collection.

•Summarize the data gathered, in a tabular form

•Clear the instructions provided to the respondents.
•Pilot test the research instrument if needed.
•Administer the research instrument or implement the research intervention, if
applicable.
•Identify the authorities that will be involved and need to ask permission
•Determine the samples size and corresponding respondents, per group if applicable.
•Analyze the summarized data corresponding to the research questions.
•Prepare the research instruments
•Ask consent form (if respondents are 18 years old above) or parent's consent (if minor).
•Collect, gather or take note of the responses.
