How is data collected in the field?
3 October 2024
Before field data collection
Before the work of data collection begins, actors need to be chosen.
Choosing actors
There are three main types of actor involved in field data collection:
- Survey coordinator
- Field supervisor
- Data collector
The infographic below illustrates what each actor is responsible for, and who each reports to.
Think about localisation and representation when choosing actors
- Actors should be local to and knowledgeable about the area and representative across gender, sex, race and ethnicity.
- Having local and representative actors helps to put households at ease, thus improving the data collection process.
- Having local and representative actors also helps households to feel a sense of ownership in the process.
- Localisation and representation are important elements of decolonising development processes.
It is good practice in data collection for actors to ask themselves these questions before beginning the work.
Checklist of resources needed by data collectors
- Map or list of households in sample
- Android device or a tablet (internet browser)
- Consent form
- Notification of CoM SSA household survey visit
- Interview Tracking Form
Sequence of events before field data collection
Here is a flow diagram showing the sequence of events (blue boxes) that take place before field data collection begins (green boxes):
During field data collection
During field data collection, the sequence of data collectors’ tasks is as follows:
Procedure for approaching the household
Procedure for obtaining consent
Provide detail on the primary data collection method, secondary data collection methods, survey objectives, description of the sampling strategy, sample size, survey development, data collection, data validation, data analysis, stakeholder engagements etc. – as relevant.
When using the browser or KoBo Collect App:
- Do not refresh the screen during data collection.
- Do not spend much time on getting the GPS location if it does not work due to weak internet connectivity.
- If the device is not connected to the internet, the GPS function will not work.
Role of field supervisors during data collection
- Supervise the data collection process and record daily activities.
- Ensure data is of appropriate quality.
- Manage human resources and any issues that may arise.
- Ensure regular data submission to the server.
- Send regular process reports to the survey coordinator.
After field data collection
After field data has been collected, the role of each actor is as follows:
Data collectors:
- Ensure submission of forms by connecting to the internet if data collection was done offline.
- Submit all consent forms and data collection tracking forms to field supervisors.
Field supervisors:
- Ensure collection of all forms from data collectors.
- Ensure all areas and planned households have been covered.
- Ensure all data collected have been submitted to server.
Survey coordinators:
- Ensure all forms have been submitted by field supervisors.
- Perform data quality checks and send back data collectors to household to re-conduct survey if necessary.
- Clean and analyse data obtained.
