Data Collection: Develop and Test a Research Measure
Learn how to develop, test, and report a new measure for research data collection with this comprehensive course. Perfect for students working on a thesis or dissertation, as well as early career research professionals. Ensure the validity and reliability of your data collection measure to avoid invalid results.
What you’ll learn
- How to develop (or modify), test, and report a new measure for research data collection.
Do you want to create a new measure for collecting data for a Thesis/Dissertation or other research project?
Are you struggling with your research project?
Do you want to graduate sooner?
This course includes over three hours of live webinars that I presented to our community members at Research Learning Center. It includes everything you need to know from item development to testing and reporting results for a valid and reliable data collection measure.
If you will be creating items or questions for data collection, do not simply make them up without following the formal process to ensure that it is done correctly. Improper development of your data collection measure(s) will invalidate your results and negate all of the work that you put into your research study.
