- Data in numerical form
- Data that can be precisely measured
- age, cost, length, height, area, volume, weight, speed, time, and temperature
- Harder to develop
- Easier to analyze
Qualitative Approach - Data that deal with description
- Data that can be observed or self-reported, but not always precisely measured
- Less structured, easier to develop
- Can provide “rich data” — detailed and widely applicable
- Is challenging to analyze
- Is labor intensive to collect
- Usually generates longer reports
Which Data? - - are not sure what you are able to measure
- - want narrative or in-depth information
- - want to cover a large group
- - want to conduct statistical analysis
Obtrusive vs. Unobtrusive Methods - Obtrusive
- data collection methods that directly obtain information from those being evaluated
- e.g. interviews, surveys, focus groups
- Unobtrusive data collection methods that do not collect information directly from evaluees
- e.g., document analysis, GoogleEarth, observation at a distance, trash of the stars
- Choice depends on the situation
- Each technique is more appropriate in some situations than others
- Caution: All techniques are subject to bias
