I have finished collecting my research and would like to share some reflections and insights I have had in doing so. I went into the data collection phase quite nervous about having everything go smoothly and according to plan. My data came from two classes taking an assessment in class, so I had a specific timeframe to execute the data collection, and it had to go efficiently. At this point, I had already obtained consent forms and done all the paperwork, I just had to be sure to not let any hiccups derail me from collecting the data this process has been about.
I found the collection to be quite smooth. Students knew ahead of time that they would have a short online assessment at the beginning or end of class based on whether their class received traditional or flipped instruction, respectively. The students were familiar with the platform I used to collect data as it is a website I use regularly in my classes (goformative.com). The combination of these things allowed for the data collection to go smoothly. My data can be downloaded from the site seamlessly into Microsoft Excel, which will allow me to effectively analyze the data. I have yet to analyze the data but will do that soon. However, to this point, the process has been smooth, and this was a crucial checkpoint to have met. I would like to credit the way that this class has been laid out for allowing me to easily accomplish my data collection. By finishing bits and pieces of this project at a time, I found the data collection piece to mostly stress free.
