Data Collection

Data collection is the process of gathering relevant information or evidence systematically to address the research objectives or questions. In this study, data were collected from both primary and secondary sources.

Primary data were obtained directly from respondents through (e.g., questionnaires, interviews, or observations) to capture firsthand information about (state what was studied – e.g., attitudes, behaviors, or experiences). Secondary data were gathered from (e.g., books, journals, official reports, websites) to support and complement the primary findings.

The data collection process ensured accuracy, reliability, and validity by using clearly structured instruments and following ethical research standards, such as informed consent and confidentiality.
