Data is divided into two parts:
a. Primary Data
Primary data is data collected by the researcher himself by using observation, interview, and questionnaire, for example, as tools to
get the data.
60
When a researcher observed a population to get data he wanted to analyze, the data as result of the observation is primary
data
b. Secondary Data
Secondary data is data collected by institution or individual which used by other researcher to be analyzed.
61
For example, a researcher was conducting a study related with students’ performance in
mechanic class; he used students’ data from school in his town. The students’ data are secondary data because there was someone who
had collected the data and used by other people.

academic year 2015-2016. Those scores will be taken from the data base of FLDI by permission of its officers of course.
