We have done our data collection as follows:
- Ensured that the measuring tapes used are all of the same length, size and type.
- Ensured that we have recording sheet and 30 copies of consent forms.
- We set up our station in the library.
- One measuring tape was taped onto the floor for foot measurement. We also ensured that one more was on table for measurement of forearm.
- We then invited students in the library to participate in our study.
- Before participating in the measurement taking, we ensured that they acknowledged and signed the consent form.
- One group member measured the foot length for 2 attempts to ensure accuracy, another measured the forearm for 2 attempts as well. 2 other students then recorded down the measurements whereas the other 2 took pictures of the procedure. This was done to ensure that measurements taken were accurate and valid.
- To ensure cleanliness, we did hand rub with sanitizer to clean our hands after every measurement was taken.
- After collecting 30 results, we then used SPSS to key in and analyze our data.
