creation and data-gathering tool developed by Google that allows you to create surveys, quizzes,
and questionnaires with multiple question types.
F. Data Gathering
As we, the researchers, are studying thru online classes, we have decided to collect the
data thru google forms which is an online survey. We also have come up to conduct data
collection online as it is much easier for the respondents. Respondents – which are the students,
used their mobile phones, laptops, computers, tablets, and other types of gadgets to answer the
survey/online form. We need to have at least 100 or more responses from the respondents to
proceed to the next step.
Upon answering the Google forms, we will be collecting all the responses or data through
the same platform that we used to conduct the online survey to provide a conclusion.
