Storing Data Securely Clause Samples

Storing Data Securely. The researcher-protected the anonymity of participants by masking their names in the data, storing the master lists separately including backup copies of computer files, and developing a data collection matrix as a visual to locate and identify information for the study. The collection of quantitative data began in the summer of 2021. The researcher- constructed an instrument called Processes and Actions to Leading Change at Schools (PALCS), which was the primary instrument to collect quantitative data. The PALCS questionnaire was sent to each school principal via an email invitation link and included specific directions on how to respond to the survey. Similarly, the Observed School Leader Behaviors (OSLEB) survey was emailed to all selected school staff and parents. All participants were provided with a due date to submit the responses.
