Assignment - Data Collection Tool
Instrumentation of Research Tools
Describe the instruments (e.g. tests, surveys, observation protocols, etc.) to be used, including information on their origin, reliability, and validity. If there are instrument(s) and any permission needed to use the instrument(s) include these in the appendices. Be sure to discuss any field testing or pilot testing of instrumentation, verify with the IRB any permissions or pilot applications to be completed. Survey development is a scientific process. First, you must search (via peer-reviewed, published empirical research articles and NCU resources) for an acceptable, existing, validated instrument and if found, pursue permissions to use/adapt for use.
If no adequate instrument exists, you may develop an instrument after consulting survey item and instrument development sources and plan for piloting and validation.
Instrument self-development is discouraged; however, if an appropriate existing validated instrument is not located after a thorough search and a self-developed instrument is proposed, describe the development process in detail followed by measures to demonstrate validity and reliability.
