Collecting Data Through Observation, Interview and Other Method

There are several key methods for collecting qualitative data, including observation, interviews, questionnaires, schedules, and case studies. Observation involves immersing oneself in a setting to take detailed notes, while interviews collect verbal information from respondents face-to-face. Questionnaires are used to gather data from scattered groups by mailing standardized forms for self-completion. Schedules are tools for collecting personal preferences and social attitudes. Case studies provide an in-depth analysis of an individual or institution through extensive observation.
