Once the research plan or design is in place, the next step is to put it into action--to implement the plan. To implement the plan, researchers must make important decisions about how the data will be collected and what instruments will be used.

Module 6 introduces you to various data collection methods and the means to assess their reliability and validity. The quality of the data produced by a tool will affect the internal and external validity of the study itself. When reading the assigned materials, you should pay particular attention to these issues.
