 Key Facts 6.1: Collecting Information1

Whether you are conducting academic or professional research, working to solve a


problem, or trying to make an informed decision, information is crucial. The ability to
strategically collect information is a skill that will serve you well. Here’s why:

● Knowledge. Information can help you understand the fuller picture of the
situation you are researching or the magnitude of the problem you are trying to
address. Data can help to fill in the details and ground your understanding in
reality.
● Credibility. Information can help ground your ideas, opinions, and research with
reliable facts and figures. Such data is especially important in communicating with
clients, possible donors, instructors, or colleagues.
● Awareness can lead to change. By sharing and contextualizing data for your
audience—whether they are your colleagues, your clients, your classmates, or
your friends and family—you can empower others with knowledge. This
knowledge, in turn, can lead to positive change.

Before you go and start collecting information, here’s a short reading on Data Privacy Act
of 2012 that outlines your rights and responsibilities in ensuring data privacy. This reading
can also be found in Module 6 NC I – Accessing and Maintaining Information.

Excerpt from Module 6 NC I – Accessing and Maintaining Information


from the Work Readiness Modules on 21 st Century Skills
by the USAID Opportunity 2.0 Program

Personal information refers to any information whether recorded in a material form or not,
from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly
ascertained by the entity holding the information, or when put together with other information
would directly and certainly identify an individual.

Privileged information refers to any and all forms of data which under the Rules of Court and
other pertinent laws constitute privileged communication.

Activity 3: Protecting Confidentiality

Objectives:
✓ Identify areas of a research problem where confidentiality may be a challenge
✓ Propose ways to protect confidentiality

 Recommended Time: 30-60 minutes

In Module 6 for NC I, entitled “Accessing and Maintaining Information”, you read and
studied about the Data Privacy Act of 2012. What do you remember about personal
information and sensitive personal information?

Remember that if you receive an individual’s personal information and sensitive personal
information, you are supposed to keep these confidential.

 Key Facts 6.2: Quick Guide: Protecting Privacy and Maintaining


Confidentiality

Source: https://theconversation.com/what-is-classified-information-and-who-gets-to-decide-77832

“Confidentiality” is a word that we might encounter in situations surrounding our


healthcare, our finances, or other topics where our personal information might be
concerned. Simply put, “confidentiality” means that information is being kept secret or
private.

Work Readiness Modules on 21st Century Skills | USAID Opportunity 2.0 Program| Philippines Page 16
Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

By extension, confidentiality pertains to treatment of information that an individual has


disclosed in a relationship of trust, especially in a legal, medical, or scientific context.
There is an expectation that the information will be kept private and will not be shared
without permission in ways that are inconsistent with the understanding of the original
agreement.

Given that research is about sharing and collecting information, it is natural that
confidentiality is an important issue to keep in mind when collecting identifiable data
about a person, such as if you are collecting surveys or interviews.

Here are some precautions to take in order


to protect confidentiality, especially if
research involves what is called Personal
Identifiable Information or PII. PII is any
information that can be used to identify an
individual (such as an email address, phone
numbers, biometric data, social security
numbers, etc.). PII is common in research in
the sciences.

smartphone-on-top-of-white-book-39584/

Considerations in Maintaining Data Confidentiality3


● Files containing data should be password protected and encrypted.
● Contact lists of participants should be destroyed when no longer needed for research.

● Data collection should be anonymous (that is, the person’s name is not included) if
possible.
● PII (Personal Identifying Information) should be replaced with identification codes (ID
codes). ID codes should *not* include individual’s names or social security numbers.
● Participants should be informed how the information will be used, how it will be stored
and collected, and who will have access to it.
● Participants should be informed of the limitations on the protection of data
confidentiality, such as mandatory reporting laws.

Work Readiness Modules on 21st Century Skills | USAID Opportunity 2.0 Program| Philippines Page 17
Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

Right to be Informed4

Your right to be informed about confidentiality and how the information collected from
you will be stored, used, retrieved and discarded are exercised through consent forms.
These forms are given to anyone from whom the information will be collected, encoded,
and stored.

The consent form contains the information that will be collected as well as how the data
will be used, stored, retrieved and deleted. The respondents have the right to agree or
disagree to give their information through signing or not signing the consent form.

It is important that you ask for this form or look for the privacy statement of the
organization, website, and other platforms before you give out any personal information.

If you are the one collecting the information, you have the responsibility to inform your
respondents about the information that you will be collecting and how you will use, store,
retrieve and discard the data.

Let’s Exercise: Ensuring Confidentiality while Researching

Imagine that you are going to gather data about the health and diet habits of the citizens in your
barangay. You plan to distribute surveys. Your questions will be both quantitative (e.g., “how
many times do you exercise per week?”) and qualitative (e.g., “what does ‘health’ mean to
you?”).
a) Why might confidentiality be a concern in this research situation?

c) One of the participants in your survey says she is reluctant to share personal information
because she is worried about confidentiality. What will you tell her? What steps will you
take to reassure her that her personal information is safe?

 Key Facts 6.3: Analyzing Quantitative and Qualitative Data5

Source: https://unsplash.com/photos/_Jb1TF3kvsA

As you will recall, quantitative data focuses on concrete, measurable information, such as
numbers, statistics, percentages, etc. Qualitative data, on the other hand, pertains more to
narratives, interviews, personal opinions, etc.

When you encounter data, it is important to know how to analyze it and find meaning.

Here are some steps that you can follow:

Analyzing Qualitative Data

Quantitative data usually involves statistics, hard numbers, and data that can be counted (i.e.,
“quantified”).

Step Details

1) Enter and Organize your findings in a software such as Microsoft Excel.


organize your
data

2) Clean your data Check for any errors (for example, compare a handful of surveys
with the data entered in your spreadsheet to check for
consistency).

3) Tabulate your Tabulate results with different variables. (*A variable is something
data that is subject to change, such as gender, locations, etc.). Doing so
will help you find patterns.

4) Calculate “Descriptives” are calculations that “describe” the data set. These
descriptives could include the following:
- Mean: the numerical average of scores for a variable
- Maximum and minimum values
- Median: the numerical middle point
- Mode: the most common number score or value for a
variable

5) Disaggregate the Break the data into various components and subcategories (e.g.,
data males between the ages of 14-24 who live in rural areas).

6) Analyze your You can then practice more advanced analysis of your findings,

Analyzing Quantitative Data

Qualitative data often includes responses to interview questions, opinions, or stories. It is more
fluid than quantitative data and often depends on the context of the research.

Step Details

1) Immediately -Take detailed and thorough notes as quickly as possible.


process and -Include details such as the time and date, things that stuck out to
record data you, and other observations.

2) Reduce data -This step might sound counterintuitive, but it is a helpful one.
With data such as interviews, you may have gathered information
that is not relevant to your question at hand.
-Doing so can help to highlight the raw data that you need.

3) Identify Group your data into patterns and themes. These can be drawn
meaningful out in two ways:
themes and
1) Content analysis: coding the data for certain words or
patterns
content, and then interpreting those patterns
2) Thematic analysis: grouping the data into themes that
either grew out of the questions posed in your research or
organically from the answers themselves

4) Draw Revisit the data multiple times. Step back to interpret the meaning
conclusions of your research and how your findings help to answer your
original questions. Identify the implications of your data analysis.

5) Share data After identifying the patterns, findings, and implications, you can
display your findings through a means such as a graphic, a chart,
or a textual (written) narrative.

Activity 5: Studying, Applying, and Recording Assessed Data/Information

Objectives:

✓ Study, apply, and record assessed data/information

 Recommended Time: 30-60 minutes

You know how to collect information and why it is important. You understand that data
can ground your research or strategy or decision in facts. But how do you apply that
knowledge and share your findings with others? Simply dumping data into a report or a
presentation maker app does not ensure a successful presentation.

Here are some ideas for presenting information in an engaging way. If you follow these
guidelines, your presentation is likely to resonate with your audience in a meaningful way.

 Key Facts 6.4: Ideas for Presenting Information

Whether you are making a professional presentation, teaching a lesson, or sharing researching
with your classmates, here are some guidelines that will help to present information effectively.

Make sure that your audience can actually see your data.
o Have you ever watched a presentation where you were unable to even read
the numbers on a chart? When data is too small, your audience will be left
scratching their heads—and distracted from the heart of your bigger message.

Less can be more.


o As the inventor Leonardo DaVinci once said, “Simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication.” On that note, refrain from crowded your pages or slides with
too much information. Doing so can overwhelm your audience or reader.
o If need be, move some of the data to another slide or page so your
presentation is not cluttered.

Work Readiness Modules on 21st Century Skills | USAID Opportunity 2.0 Program| Philippines Page 34
Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

Enhance your information with visuals.


o Offer your information in more than one way. For example, if you are
instructing your audience in how to do something, provide both text and
images.
o Make that you have copyright permission before you use any images. Website
such as Unsplash (www.unsplash.com), Pixabay (www.pixabay.com), and
Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org) offer freely usable
media files.
o Infographics—a collection of imagery or charts that provides a visual
representation of a subject—can help you communicate an idea quickly and
powerfully. You can do so for free with platforms such as Canva
(www.canva.com) or Piktochart (www.piktochart.com).

Enlist technology.
o If you can, try to incorporate audiovisual elements such as video clips and
sound recordings to engage an audience. Turn on closed captions on any video
that is shown to make learning more inclusive.
o Tablets, laptops, and e-readers can offer individualized learning support and
allow learners to go at their own pace.

Keep your audience in mind.


o Try to put yourself in the shoes of your audience, whether that is your
colleagues, your students, your clients, or your friends and family. Ask
yourself: what knowledge do they already have? What topics might be
unfamiliar to them?
o Even if your data or findings are complex, try to communicate the information
in a clear and simple way. (Doing so is harder than it sounds!)
o It’s a good idea to share your presentation with someone else that you trust.
Ask them what questions, responses, or concerns they might have. Then try to
address those accordingly.
o Remember that people have different learning styles: some learn better
visually, audibly, by doing, etc., so keep that in mind.

Work Readiness Modules on 21st Century Skills | USAID Opportunity 2.0 Program| Philippines Page 35
Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

Proofread.
o It may sound obvious, but be sure to check for spelling and grammar errors.
(You would be surprised by how many people forget to do this at their own
peril!)
o If you feel like you have looked at your presentation too many times, ask a
trusted colleague or friend to check for typos. Details matter!

 Key Facts 6.5: Presentation 101: Everything You Need to Know to Make a
Basic Presentation6

PowerPoint is a software made by Microsoft that allows you to create presentations, which are
commonly used in professional or academic settings. Within a PowerPoint presentation, you can
add text, images, art, and even music. You can either create a presentation from scratch or start
with one of the software’s templates.

In terms of technical training, there are excellent online tutorials and resources that can orient
you to the basics of PowerPoint.

Here is the link to Microsoft’s webpage on PowerPoint help and learning:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint

You can explore the “get started” feature to learn the basics, and then explore topics such as
“design,” “present,” and “animations” for more advanced instruction.

Here are some tips when designing your PowerPoint presentation:

Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

Choose a legible font style.

● Style: Font styles such as Arial or Calibri are simple and can be easily read from a
distance. No one wants to squint during your presentation!
● Size: Try to avoid font sizes smaller than 18.
● Contrast: Use a high contrast between your background color and your font color.
That means choosing a light text on a dark background or a dark text on a light
background. (Stay away from the pairing of certain colors: for example, red and blue
combinations cause eye strain, as do red and green combinations.)

Keep it simple.

● Use bullet points and short sentences.


● Try to avoid text wrapping (that is, having a single sentence run over one line).
● Remember, you want to supplement and enhance the slides with your spoken
narration. Don’t make the slides do all of the work—that is your job!
● Chose a simple background that will not distract from your message.

Keep it consistent.

● Use the same design style (colors, font, etc.) throughout. Doing so will create a
polished, uniform look.

Use graphics, but sparingly.

● Art or graphics can help to enhance and tell your story. But, if you use images, find
high quality ones (that are free to use), and use them wisely.
● Avoid visual clutter. Less is more.
● Credit your images. (You can do so by adding small text at the bottom of the slide.)

Check spelling and grammar.

● Details matter. You can use the built in spellcheck feature or explore free online tools
such as Grammarly (www.grammarly.com).

Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

 Key Facts 6.6: How to Cite Sources7

In order to convincingly present information, you will need to rely on sources. These sources
might include books, articles, quotations, videos, databases, websites, etc.—the list goes on!

Each time you reference one of these sources, you need to cite it—that is, note where it came
from. There are several reasons for doing so:

● You give credit to the person or organization who created or produced the content.
● If your reader would like to learn more about your source, she or he can easily find it.
● A rich list of cited sources enforces your argument, research, or opinion.
● By responsibly citing your sources, you avoid plagiarism, or presenting someone else’s
work as your own, which is not only unethical but can lead to disciplinary action.

There are several different styles of citation. Each has its own rules and guidelines. Some of the
most common are APA (American Psychological Association) and the MLA (Modern Language
Association). You may also come across Chicago Manual of Style.
Each style consists of two main components:

1. In-text citation. These citations are parenthetically


embedded within the text and usually include the
author’s name and a page number. The in-text citation is
expanded more fully in the full reference.
2. Full reference. This reference usually comes at the end
of a document in a bibliography, reference lists, or list of
works cited. It includes all the details about a source
(e.g., date of publication, URL, publisher, etc.).

Imagine that you are doing research on the life of Manny


Pacquiao. You want to cite a biography, PacMan: Behind
the Scenes with Manny Pacquiao—the Greatest Pound-
for-Pound Fighter in the World by Gary Andrew Poole8.
Let’s look at how this same source would be cited
according to different styles.

*Keep in mind that the formatting resources provided above are specifically for books. For
sources such as websites, podcasts, magazines, etc., you will need to consult the style protocol.
The important thing to remember is that each style has its own set of rules to follow—all of which
you can find online.

Here are some steps to follow when citing sources.

Step 1: Verify which citation style to follow

● Be sure to check which style is required for the document you are writing. (If you are
unsure of which citation style is required, be sure to ask an instructor or someone who
would know!)
● Familiarize yourself with the protocol (or rules) for the style.
● This website provides extensive resources on citation styles:

https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/resources.html

Step 2: Cite your sources

Every time you include a source, you need to cite it. This rule applies whether you directly quote
or paraphrase (put something into your own words).

If you are… Then you should…


Directly quoting a source -Transcribe the quoted text and place it
within quotation marks
-Add an in-text citation according to the style
-Add your source to the reference list
Paraphrasing a source -Put the information in your own words,
avoiding being too close to the original
wording
-Add an in-text citation according to the style
-Add your source to the reference list

Remember: Even if you are not referring an academic source such as a book or scholarly article,
you still need to cite blogs, YouTube videos, dictionaries, social media, etc. You can find guidance
on how to cite these sources on the website listed above.

Work Readiness Modules on 21st Century Skills | USAID Opportunity 2.0 Program| Philippines Page 45
Module 6: Presenting Relevant Information (NC II) Learner’s Handbook

Step 3: Check for plagiarism

Universities and other institutions often use plagiarism checkers to ensure that writers have not
failed to properly cite their sources.

To ensure that you have not missed a citation or paraphrased in a way that it too similar to the
original text, you can run your own work through a plagiarism checker. Many of these are
available online.

Let’s Exercise: Comprehension Check on Citing Sources

Answer the following questions:

1. Define an in-text citation.

2. What are some of the basic differences between APA and MLA styles of referencing? List
three.

3. What other sources should you cite, apart from books and journals?

4. How do you quote a source? How do you paraphrase a source? What is the difference
between the two?
