 INTERVIEW
An interview is a face-to-face conversation between two individuals with the sole purpose of collecting
relevant information to satisfy a research purpose.
 QUESTIONNAIRES
This is the process of collecting data through an instrument consisting of a series of questions and prompts to
receive a response from individuals it is administered to. Questionnaires are designed to collect data from a
group.
•What is innovative about your research?
•How is your work distinct from your supervisor’s/principal investigator’s? How intellectually
independent are you?

 FOCUS GROUPS
The opposite of quantitative research which involves numerical-based data, this data collection method
focuses more on qualitative research. It falls under the primary category for data based on the feelings and
opinions of the respondents. This research involves asking open-ended questions to a group of individuals
usually ranging from 6-10 people, to provide feedback.
1.How did you learn about our company?
2.When was the last time you purchased a product/service in our industry?
3.How often do you use our product/service?
4.If you could change one thing about our product/service, what would it be?
5.What kind of problems have you experienced when using our product/service?

send to survey respondents. The data collected from surveys is then statistically analyzed to draw
meaningful research conclusions.

both individuals and groups. Also under the primary category, it is a combination of Interviews and Focus
Groups while collecting qualitative data. This method is key when addressing sensitive subjects.
