Planning for Data Collection

Before we do our data collection, we decided to sit down and discuss what was relevant for this study.

Collection Data:

Accidental sampling.

We picked a library discussion room near the health science faculty to do our study.
This because we find that the area is pack with people walking to and fro.
We shall use the room to do our measurement and the corridor to get people who happen to be there for our study

Data samples:

30 people

The samples - Conceptualization:

Foot - Tip of the longest toe to the back of the feet.

Forearm - Tip of the wrist to the elbow

Special point we decided to take note of is:

Make sure the particpant study do not have any accessories on the point of reading to provide an accurate reading.

For Autonomy - research ethics:

Before we do this study, we must obtain their consent first.

What do we use to measure? - Operationalization

Identical measuring tape.

Cardboard.

How often to we measure?

Twice. And we will be taking the average reading.

Sweets were given to the participants as our token of appreciation.

Measuring tape placed in the file to provide rest for the back of the foot

To further ensure accurate reading,

a hard cardboard is placed directly on the tip of the toes

before the measurement is taken.

We used an identical measuring tape to measure the length of the forearm.
A hard cardboard is being used also to ensure accurate reading.
It is placed on the marking for the forearm



A camera 5 megapixel phone to take pictures through out the study.


All measurements taken were written down.

So with planning done,

data collection can now begin.
