 What I Need to Know

This module was designed for your advantage and specially written to suit your
needed knowledge about the different types of research dat. This can be used in all
types of learning situations as the diversity of students in terms of their vocabulary
level is being put into consideration. The lessons are organized, but it was modified
to match with the textbook you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the different types of research data;
2. distinguish and describe qualitative data and quantitative data.

 What’s In

Research data is any information that has been collected, observed, generated or
created to validate original research findings.

Although usually digital, research data also includes non-digital formats such as
laboratory notebooks and diaries.

Research data can take many forms. It might be:

 documents, spreadsheets
 laboratory notebooks, field notebooks, diaries
 questionnaires, transcripts, codebooks
 audiotapes, videotapes
 photographs, films
 test responses
 slides, artefacts, specimens, samples
 collections of digital outputs
 data files
 database contents (video, audio, text, images)
 models, algorithms, scripts
 contents of an application (input, output, logfiles for analysis software,
simulation software, schemas)
 methodologies and workflows
 standard operating procedures and protocols

Non-digital data

Non-digital data such as laboratory notebooks, ice-core samples and sketchbooks

is often unique. You should assess the long-term value of any non-digital data and
plan how you will describe and retain them.

You could digitize the materials, but this may not be possible for all types of data.

The University of Leeds research data repository (Research Data Leeds) describes

digital materials and can also be used to create records for physical artefacts.

Please contact the team if you would like to discuss requirements for non-digital
data.

Sources of research data

Research data can be generated for different purposes and through different
processes.

 Observational data is captured in real-time, and is usually irreplaceable,

for example sensor data, survey data, sample data, and neuro-images.
 Experimental data is captured from lab equipment. It is often
reproducible, but this can be expensive. Examples of experimental data
are gene sequences, chromatograms, and toroid magnetic field data.
 Simulation data is generated from test models where model and
metadata are more important than output data. For example, climate
models and economic models.
 Derived or compiled data has been transformed from pre-existing data
points. It is reproducible if lost, but this would be expensive. Examples
are data mining, compiled databases, and 3D models.
 Reference or canonical data is a static or organic conglomeration or
collection of smaller (peer-reviewed) datasets, most probably published
and curated. For example, gene sequence databanks, chemical
structures, or spatial data portals.

This module will introduce you to the different types of research data.

What’s New

A new lesson will be introduced to you. This activity elaborates topics that
you have possibly come across as you continue with this module.

 What is It

Qualitative Data
Qualitative data can be observed and recorded. This type of data is collected
through methods of observations, one-to-one interviews, conducting focus
groups, and similar methods.

Qualitative Data Examples

Qualitative data is also called categorical data since this data can be
grouped according to categories.

For example, think of a student reading a paragraph from a book during one
of the class sessions. A teacher who is listening to the reading gives
feedback on how the child read that paragraph. If the teacher gives feedback
based on fluency, intonation, throw of words, clarity in pronunciation
without giving a grade to the child, this is considered as an example of
qualitative data.
Qualitative data does not include numbers in its definition of traits.
 The cake is orange, blue, and black in color (qualitative).
 Females have brown, black, blonde, and red hair (qualitative).

Quantitative Data
Quantitative Data is any quantifiable information that can be used for
mathematical calculation or statistical analysis. This form of data helps in
making real-life decisions based on mathematical derivations. Quantitative
data is used to answer questions likes how many? How often? How much?
This data can be validated and verified.
The following are examples of quantitative data.

 There are four cakes and three muffins kept in the basket
(quantitative)
 On glass of fizzy drink has 97.5 calories (quantitative).
