Instructor: Milda Irhamni, Gumilang Aryo Sahadewo, Ma’rifatul Amalia and Colley Windya, J-PAL SEA
Brief Description of the Training:
The Covid-19 pandemic challenged researchers to provide quick policy inputs without the ability to conduct field data collection. This two-day workshop shares J-PAL SEA’s learnings on conducting remote data collection for various policy concerns during the pandemic. The first day discusses the preparation for an online survey including instrument design and respondent sampling. On the second day, we will discuss the components of data handling that includes data security, data cleaning, and data analysis. Participants will have an opportunity to work on a case study to evaluate a sample online survey instrument, practice debugging, and plan for data quality checking.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the various components to consider in collecting data using online surveys.
- Ability to conduct a rigorous online survey project.
- Understand some fundamentals of programming and debugging online survey instruments.
- Understand the essentials of data quality and monitoring, data security, data cleaning, and data analysis.
Topics:
- Overview of online survey project, ethics, and some tips
- Instrument design and respondent listing
- Launching the online survey
