Steps for collecting quantitative data.
“Did you learn the steps for collecting quantitative data? You can see that, in summary, the steps are the following:”
Determining the participants to study
This process involves determining whether you will study individuals or entire organizations (e.g., schools) or some combination. The decision about what participants to select will depend on the research questions and/or hypothesis established (Creswell, 2015).
Specify the population and sample
If you select an entire school to study or a small number of individuals, you need to consider what individuals or schools you will study. I invite you to read the information on the following website in which you will learn about selecting a sample for your research study. Take notes of aspects related to population, sample, and sampling techniques. On the website above, you have learned the reasons why we need to use sampling techniques to select a sample for your study as well as common errors made when selecting the population and sample. Could you tell the difference between population and sample?
Sampling
Obtaining permissions needed from several individuals and organizations
After identifying and selecting participants for your study, you need to obtain their permission to be studied. This permission will ensure that they cooperate in your study and supply data.
Considering what types of information to collect from several sources available to the quantitative research
This step involves identifying the variables in your questions and hypotheses, finding definitions for these variables, and considering types of information that will help you assess these variables.
Locating and selecting instruments to use that will net useful data for the
Researchers use instruments to measure achievement, assess individual ability, observe behavior, or interview a person. In quantitative research, we can use some instruments. To see some examples of instruments that can be applied in quantitative research and understand how they are structured, I invite you to read the information on the website These examples will show you what types of surveys/questionnaires you can use if you want to collect online data for quantitative research.
Examples of quantitative data collection methods.
Administering the data collection process to collect data
This process varies depending on factors such as the type of data to be collected and the instruments used. In any case, the instruments must be applied using standard procedures, considering ethical aspects (e.g. If you administer a questionnaire, you must do it in the same way for all the participants. If several people are going to administer the questionnaire, they must follow standard procedures and apply the questionnaire in the same way to all the participants.)
