One of the things which a researcher usually does in the initial stages of statistical inquiry is to define
the variables relevant to his problem. Any quantity which may take on different values is a variable; that
which does not vary or is fixed is constant. There are two major classifications of variables: qualitative and
quantitative. The nature of the problem, the objectives of the researcher, the type of data required, and the
sources of these data should all be considered in choosing the data-gathering techniques.
Guess a word or phrase based on visual clues representing letters, syllables or words.

Let’s get to know about some of the Methods of Collecting Data and
Time and Frequency of Collection
Based on the data you want to collect, decide which method is best suited for your research.
Carefully consider what method you will use to gather data that helps you directly answer your research questions.

Data collection sheet is a tool that is used to collect and organize data. It can also be defined as a worksheet that helps
you to collect, process, and make sense of information from multiple data resources.
Data collection sheets are very useful in quantitative research because they help you to gather, record, and organize
different numerical values from the research variables. This makes it easier for you to arrive at your research outcomes.
Common types of data collection sheets include check sheets, tally sheets, and frequency tables.
Check sheet is a tool that is used to collect data from respondents in real-time. It also
records the location where the data was collected from, and most times, it is usually a
blank form that is designed for the quick, easy, and efficient recording of the desired
information.
A checklist serves as an effective tool when collecting data on frequency and identifying
patterns of events, problems, defects, and defect location, and for identifying defect
causes.
Tally Sheet
A tally sheet is a type of check sheet that is used to record quantitative data from form
respondents. Quantitative data refers to data that can be quantified; that is an information
set that has numerical or statistical value.
Frequency Table
A frequency table is a statistical tool that is used to collect information on the number of
times a research variable occurs in the research environment. This data set, when
interpreted, can provide great insights into consumer behavior patterns in market research,
among other things.
