    Different tools in gathering

    data
    Gathering Data…

     Data collection is the process of gathering and


    measuring information on variables of interest,
    in an established systematic fashion that
    enables one to answer stated research
    questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate
    outcomes.
    Survey - is defined as the resultant
    data that is collected from a sample of
    respondents that took a survey. This data is
    comprehensive information gathered from a
    target audience about a specific topic to
    conduct research. There are many methods
    used for survey data collection and
    statistical analysis.
     Survey Data Collection Methods with Examples
     The methods used to collect survey data have evolved with the change in technology.
    From face-to-face surveys, telephonic surveys to now online and email surveys, the world
    of survey data collection has changed with time. Each survey data collection method has
    its pros and cons, and every researcher has a preference for gathering accurate information
    from the target sample.
     The survey response rates for each of these data collection methods will differ as their
    reach and impact are always different. Different ways are chosen according to specific
    target population characteristics and the intent to examine human nature under various
    situations.
    Online Surveys

     Online surveys are the most cost-effective and can reach the
    maximum number of people in comparison to the other mediums.
    The performance of these surveys is much more widespread than the
    other data collection methods. In situations where there is more than
    one question to be asked to the target sample, certain researchers
    prefer conducting online surveys over the traditional face-to-face or
    telephone surveys.
    Face-to-face Surveys

     Gaining information from respondents via


    face-to-face mediums is much more
    effective than the other mediums because
    respondents usually tend to trust the
    surveyors and provide honest and clear
    feedback about the subject in-hand.
    Telephone Surveys

     Telephone surveys require much lesser investment


    than face-to-face surveys. Depending on the required
    reach, telephone surveys cost as much or a little more
    than online surveys. Contacting respondents via the
    telephonic medium requires less effort and manpower
    than the face-to-face survey medium.
    Paper Surveys

     The other commonly used survey method is paper


    surveys. These surveys can be used where laptops,
    computers, and tablets cannot go, and hence they use
    the age-old method of data collection; pen and paper.
    This method helps collect survey data in field research
    and helps strengthen the number of responses
    collected and the validity of these responses.
    Types of Data Gathering
    INTERVIEW

    interviews are a method of data


    collection that involves two or more
    people exchanging information
    through a series of questions and
    answers.
    Suvey

     Surveys are incredibly versatile research tools.


    You can use them to reach your target audience to
    get actionable, reliable data. Surveys help you
    with gathering, measuring, and in some cases,
    analyzing data from your desired sources.
