Data Collection by Observations01:08

Data Collection by Observations

12.0K
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Archival Research

16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Surveys

14.8K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

  • Education Research
  • Educational Technology
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted in-person education research, limiting access to participants and school settings.
  • Post-pandemic school policies restricted researcher access, necessitating alternative data collection methods.
  • Traditional in-person video data collection faced significant challenges due to these access limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel protocol for secure, fully remote collection of video data in educational settings.
  • To address the immediate data collection needs of research projects impacted by the pandemic.
  • To overcome persistent barriers in obtaining classroom video data for education research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a secure protocol for remote video data acquisition.
  • Initial application in a local study involving elementary teachers.
  • Scaling the protocol for a multi-state study with elementary teachers.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation of a secure, remote video data collection protocol.
  • Demonstrated feasibility and scalability of the protocol across different study scopes.
  • Overcame limitations imposed by school access restrictions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed protocol offers a viable solution for remote classroom video data collection.
  • This method enhances accessibility to valuable data for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
  • The protocol has the potential to broaden the scope and reach of educational research.
