Data Collection

Data collection is the process of gathering information from various sources to gain insights,
make decisions or solve problems. It can involve different methods such as surveys, interviews,
observations and experiments. The data collected can be either primary, gathered firsthand by the
researcher or secondary, obtained from existing sources like books, websites or reports. Accurate
and reliable data collection is essential as it forms the foundation for analysis and interpretation
in any field of study or research.

Data Visualisation

Data visualisation is the process of presenting data in a graphical or pictorial format to make
it easier to understand and interpret. Instead of looking at long lists of numbers, data can be
shown using bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, histograms and other visual tools. These visuals

help in identifying patterns, trends and comparisons quickly. Data visualisation makes complex
information more accessible and is widely used in fields like business, science and education to
support decision-making.
