CHECKLISTS

 Checklists

Checklists are used to encourage or verify that a number of specific lines of inquiry, steps, or actions are being taken, or have been taken, by a researcher. These surface in a variety of forms throughout data collection and analysis and thereafter as part of either writing or review.

A checklist is a simple instrument consisting prepared list of expected items of performance or attributes, which are checked by a researcher for their presence or absence.

Checklists are constructed by breaking performance and the quality of a product, which specifies the presence or absence of an attribute or trait which is then “checked” by the rater/observer.




 

Characteristics of the method

  • Observe one respondent at one time.

  • Clearly specify the characteristics of the behavior to the observer.

  • Use only carefully prepared checklists to avoid more complex traits.

  • The observer should be trained on how to observe, and how to record the observed behavior.

  • Use checklists only when you are interested in calculating particular characteristics.

 

Main uses of the method




You can use checklists for:


  • Carrying out activities in which it is important that no step is forgotten and/or tasks must be done in an established order
  • Carrying out inspections where it must be recorded what the inspected points were
  • Verify or examine articles.
  • Examine or analyze the location of defects. Check the causes of the defects.
  • Verification and analysis of operations.
  • Collect data for future analysis.


 

Advantages of Checklists

  • They allow inter-individual comparisons.
  • They provide a simple method to record observations.
  • They are adaptable to subject matter areas.
  • They are useful in evaluating learning activities expected to be performed.
  • They are helpful in evaluating procedure work.
  •  Properly prepared, they allow the observer to constrain the direct attention.
  • They have to objectively evaluate the characteristics.
  • They decrease the chances of errors in observation.




Disadvantages of Checklists

  •    They can be time-consuming.

  •    Teachers find it difficult to adapt teaching and evaluation behaviors to include checklists.

  •   If there are too many checklists, the teacher can be overwhelmed with assessment and record-keeping.

  •   Teachers may not consider assessments with checklists as valid measures.

  •    They do not indicate how well a child or student performs.

SURVEYS

  DEFINITION According to  Bhat (2023), the s urvey is a  method of gathering information from a group of individuals by asking them questions. Surveys can be conducted through various mediums such as paper and pencil, online forms, telephone, or face-to-face interviews.  The main goal of a survey is to collect data that is representative of the group being surveyed, allowing researchers to make informed decisions or draw conclusions. To create a successful survey, it’s essential to craft questions that are clear, concise, and unbiased, avoiding leading or loaded questions that could influence the answers. CHARACTERISTICS Surveys represent one of the most used techniques for collecting information on a topic or about people to describe, compare, explain or predict their knowledge, attitudes, or behaviors. Simply, it is a tool used to obtain necessary information (Bhat,  2023) . 1. Sample and Sample Determination First, a sample also referred to as the audi...

DOCUMENT REVIEW

  DEFINITION Documentation review is a process where the document goes through one or multiple stages of review. Reviewers and the feedback gets amended in the document. The outcome of the document review process is that it enhances the accuracy and quality of the document. Documentation review is one of the most time-consuming activities regarding end-user documentation. It requires much concentration and focuses since it’s not as simple as reading through the document and spotting grammatical errors or typos. In fact, it’s much more complicated than that and requires scrutiny of every word, heading, sentence, and paragraph to ensure that there are no logical inconsistencies or gaps in information   ( Somasundaram, 2022) . CHARACTERISTICS According to Johnson (2015), these are some of the characteristics or steps that the document review has for any research. It is important that researchers know how to use it adequately in order to have success in their project o...
