Data Collection Strategies
36 Summary
This chapter has focused on three data collection strategies: experimental, quasi-experimental and non-experimental designs. As outlined, choosing the data collection strategy is another important decision to be made by the researcher. The research question, including who you plan to study, will guide the type of strategy best employed; however, it is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each, as outlined in this chapter.
