1. How do you collect

quantitative data?
TECHNIQUES IN COLLECTING
QUANTITATIVE DATA

1. OBSERVATION- is a
technique gathering data
whereby you personally watch,
interact, or communicate with the
subjects of your study.
Expressing these sensory
experiences to quantitative data,
you record them with the use of
numbers.

2. Survey- is a data gathering

technique that makes you obtain
facts or information about a
subject or object of your research
through the data gathering
instruments of interview and
questionnaire.
Data gathering instruments:

Questionnaire - is a paper
containing a series of questions
formulated for an individual and
independent answering by several
respondents for obtaining statistical
information. Responses yielded by
this instrument are given numerical
forms and categories and are
subjected for statistical analysis.
Data gathering instruments:

Interview - is a data gathering

instrument that makes you verbally
ask the subjects or respondents
questions to give answers to what
your research study is trying to look
for.

3. Experiment- is a scientific method

of collecting data whereby you give
the subjects a sort of treatment or
condition then evaluate the results to
find out the manner by which the
treatment affected the subjects and to
discover the reasons behind the
effects of such treatment on the
subjects.
EXPERIMENT

The process of collecting data

through experimentation involves
selection of subjects or
participants, pre-testing the
subjects prior to the application of
any treatment or condition, and
giving the subjects post-test to
determine the effects of the
treatment on them.
Combination or mixture of
components that some research
studies adopt:
treatment evaluation
 Pre-test treatment post-test
 Pre-test multiple treatment
post-test
Types of Observation

1. Participant Observation- the

observer, who is the researcher ,
takes part in the activities of the
individual or group being
observed.
 Descriptive observation- first part of the
logbook which describes the people, events,
places in the object focused on by the research.

 Narrative account- interpretations or

reflections about everything you observed.
Types of Observation

2. Non-Participation or Structured
Observation- this type completely
detaches you from the target of your
observation. You just watch and
listen to them, do their own thing ,
without you participating in any of
their activities.
Methods of Observation

1. Direct Observation- This observation

method makes you see or listen to
everything that happens in the area of
observation.
2. Indirect Observation- This method is
also called behavior archaeology
because, here, ypou observe traces of
past events to get information or a
measure of behavior or quality of your
subject.
Types of Questionnaire

1. Postal Questionnaire- as the name

connotes, this type of questionnaire
goes to the respondent through postal
service or electronic mail.
2. Self- administered Questionnaire-
this type makes you act as the
interviewer and the interviewee at the
same time. First, you ask the questions
either in person or through phone; then,
you will be writing the interviewee’s
answers on a piece of paper.
Types of Interview

1. Structured Interview- requires the use of an

interview schedule or a list of questions
answerable with one and only item from a set
of alternative responses

2. Unstructured Interview- the respondents

answers the questions based on what they
personally think and feel about it. There are no
suggested answers. They purely depend on
the respondents decision-making skills.
Types of Interview

3. Semi-Structured Interview- the characteristic

of the first two types are found in this type. Here,
you prepare a schedule or a list of questions that
is accompanied by a list of expressions from
where the respondents can pick out the correct
answer.
Approaches of Interview

1. Individual Interview- only one respondent is

interviewed here.

2. Group Interview- You ask the question not to

one person but to a group of people at the
same time.

3. Mediated Interview- No face-to-face interview

is true for this interview approach because this
takes place through electronic communication
devices such as telephones, mobile phones,
email, among others.
Guide Question:

1. When do you use each type of

data gathering technique?
Each group will identify the data
gathering techniques given the
following titles:
Group 1:
Group 2:
Group 3:
Then, provide at least 5 sample
questions per each title.
1. What is the importance of
data collection to the
research process?
2. Refers to a paper containing
series of questions formulated for an
individual and independent
answering by several respondents
for obtaining statistical information.
a. survey
b. questionnaire
c. observation
d. interview
3. Angel is a nurse. She watches
patients lining up at a medical clinic,
instead of centering her eyes on the

the door of the medical clinic. What
quantitative data gathering
technique did she use?
a. survey b. questionnaire
c. observation d. interview
4. Joy is a Grade 12 ABM student
who is currently conducting her
research entitled” Leadership
Styles of Section Mayors at MIS”.

series of questions to be
answered by section mayors in
order for her to obtain statistical
information. What quantitative
data gathering technique did she
use?
a. survey b. questionnaire
