 Kinds of Research Instrument Applicable for
Quantitative Research
1. Checklist
2. Survey Questionnaire
3. Pre-Test/Post-Test

Lesson 12 – Data Gathering Tools/Instrument

 Checklist
✓ a list of items or specific lines that a researcher wants to
verify for inquiries, steps, or actions being taken, or have
been already taken by the respondents
✓ a simple instrument consisting of a prepared list of
expected items of performance or attributes, which are
