DATA COLLECTION
Data collection is the process of gathering and
measuring data, information or any variables of interest
in a standardized and established manner that enables
the collector to answer or test hypothesis and evaluate
outcomes of the particular collection. It can be
qualitative or quantitative. 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.
TYPES OF DATA
PRIMARY DATA
SECONDARY DATA
PRIMARY DATA
• Data that are collected for the first time
by a researcher or collected from first-
hand experiences.
• Also called as a “raw data”.
• data are original or collected from the
source of origin.
Example:
• Survey
• Interview
• Observation
• Experiment
SECONDARY DATA
• Are those that have already been collected
by others. Second hand data.
• Data are available in the published and
unpublished form.
• Not original because these are already exist.
Example:

METHODS OF COLLECTING DATA

SURVEY
A survey is the process of collecting, analyzing
and interpreting data from many individuals. It
aims to determine insights about a group of
people. A survey goes much deeper than
questionnaire and often involves more than one
form of data collection.
INTERVIEW
This method the interviewer personally meets
the respondents and asks necessary questions to
them regarding the subject of inquiry. Usually a
set of questions or a questionnaire is carried by
him and questions are also asked according to
that.
TYPES OF INTERVIEW
Structured interview: a structured interview (also known as a
standardized interview or a researcher-administered survey) is a
quantitative research method commonly employed in survey
research. The aim of this approach is to ensure that each
interview is presented with exactly the same questions in the
same order. Structured interviews can help you see patterns
among responses, and it allows you to easilyB compare responses
between participants while keeping other factors constant. This
can mitigate research biases and lead to higher reliability and
validity.
Unstructured interviews: These interviews are free-flowing, with no
predetermined questions. The interviewer may have a general topic or
theme in mind, but the questions are not planned in advance.
Unstructured interviews are often used in exploratory research, where
the goal is to gain a deeper understanding of a topic. However,
unstructured interviews can be time-consuming and difficult to
analyze.
