DATA MANAGEMENT

DATA COLLECTION METHOD

Interview Method
- person to person encounter between the source of information
- personal or through phone or internet access Interviewee – source of information
Interviewer – gathers information

Questionnaire Method
-questionnaire is used

Registration Method
-obtain data from the records of government agency authorized by
law to keep for researchers.
 DATA COLLECTION METHOD

Observation Method
-particular data is the behaviors of individuals or group of individuals during situation.

Experimental Method
-system used to gather data form the results of performed series of experiments on some
controlled and experimental variables.
 FOUR LEVELS OF MEASUREMENTS

Nominal Scale
- assigns names or labels to observation in purely arbitrary sequence

Ordinal Scale
- assigns numbers or labels to observation with implied ordering

Interval Scale
- assigns real number to observation to reflect distance between rank position of the
respondents or objects in equal units.

Ratio Scale
- assigns numbers to observations reflect the existence of true absolute zero point as its origin.
 DATA PRESENTATION
TEXTUAL FORM
makes used of words, sentences and paragraphs in presentation

Example:
You are asked to present the performance of your section in Statistical test. The following are the
test scored of your class:

foot note

Source note – is the exact citation of the source of data

 DATA PRESENTATION
GRAPHICAL FORM
shows numerical values or relationship in a pictorial form

Line Graph Bar Graph

Pie Graph Pictograph or Pictogram

 DATA PRESENTATION
GRAPHICAL FORM
different types of graph can be used based on purpose

Line Graph
- data cover a long period of time Bar Graph
- numerical values of an item over a period of
- several series are compared
- movements are to be emphasized time are compared
- represents quantity or frequency for each
- trends are to be established
- estimates are to be forecasted category

Pie Graph
Pictograph or Pictogram
- show percentage or the composition by parts of - suggest the nature of data
a whole
 ORGANIZING NUMERICAL DATA
Array
- is an arrangement of the numerical data/values according to order of magnitude either ascending or
descending.

Frequency Distribution Table

- is a condensed version of an array.

Some parts of FDT

Classes – are mutually exclusive categories defining the lower limit and the upper limit with equal intervals.
Class Frequency – is the number of observation in each class.
Class Mark – is used in computing the mean and some measures of variability.
Cumulative Frequency – tells the sum of frequencies in a particular class of interest.
Relative Frequency – tells percentage of observations in a particular class of interest.
