Qualitative data collection techniques (observation, interviews, and documentation) and quantitative in the form of formative tests. Data analysis techniques use observation, interviews and documentation techniques, while quantitative through processing formatted test questions with colleagues. Testing the validity of the data includes triangulation tests and using validity and reliability tests.
