TECHNIQUES
What are the different
data-gathering
techniques?
1. Observation
2. Physiological Measures
3. Standardized Tests
4. Interviews and Questionnaires
5. Life-History Records
1. Observation
– this technique simply means
that we are gathering
information by observing
through the senses such as
sight, hearing, taste, touch, and
smell.
Observation
- It can be done at the
laboratories or through
materialistics settings.
Physiological Measures
- In this technique, the
researcher has certain
indicators of a children’s
development such as, among
others, heart rate, hormonal
levels, bone growth, body
weight, and brain activity are
measured
Standardized Tests
- The researcher will prepare
a test that assessed
individuals’ performance in
different domains and these
test are administered in a
consistent manner.
Interviews and Questionnaires
- in this technique the
researcher will ask question,
gather the data, and
information can be obtained
by utilizing standard
Life - history records
- In this technique the
researcher will gather their
answers through records of
information about a lifetime
chronology events and
activities.
Ethical Principle

- governs the behavior of
the teachers.
What are the three (3) common
standards in which the NAEYC
enumerated?
1. In research, never harm
children, physically or

2. Children and their families
have the right to full of
information about the
research.
3. Children’s questions about
research should be answered in a
truthful manner and in ways that
children can understand.

become
 More deliberate in their decision-making
 Actions in the classroom

3. teacher research develops the

 Professional dispositions of lifelong learning
 Reflective and mindful teaching
 Self-transformation
4. Engaging in teacher research at any level may lead to
 Rethinking
 reconstructing

5. Teacher research has the potential to

 Demonstrate to teachers
