Data-collection Instruments
In administering the data-collection instruments, it could be done by the researchers themselves or by the subjects.
Researcher-completed instruments
Performance checklists are to be completed by the researcher.
- A performance-checklist features a list of behaviours.
- The behaviours usually portray a certain type of performance. The real purpose of performance-checklist is to find out whether the subject is behaving in a desired way when he or she is completing the task or not. This could be seen through the number of check marks that the subject has drawn on the checklist.
- In addition, the rating scales will be used in a checklist if the researcher has the intention to know how well the process is when the subject performs the task.
- The example is on page 122, figure 7.11
Subject-completed Instruments
On the other hand, self-checklists are to be completed by the subjects.
- A self-checklist illustrates a list of criteria related to the subjects of a study.
- The criteria could be the characteristics, activities and many more.
- If the subject met the characteristic or perhaps performed the activities, the subject should mark the particular criteria in the list.
- the example is on page 125, figure 7.13
The Purposes
- As a guide to build skills in writing research proposals
- To develop the quality of research proposals
- To guide evaluative feedback
- To provide formative evaluation thus supporting the summative evaluation
- As a guide to evaluate previous proposals
