Methods of data collection: experiments and focus groups

Abstract

The successful completion of a sampling procedure connects the research with the respondents and specifies the kind and number of respondents who will be involved. The investigator knows at this stage not only what be studied, but also whoto approach to collect the required information. The information will be available, provided that the right ‘connection’ between the researcher and the respondents is made. This connection is made through the methods of data collection.
