Data Collection And Questionnaire Design

This chapter covers the background and rationale, statement of the opportunity, purpose, research questions, nature of the study, definition of key terms, the significance of the study, assumptions, and limitations. It also covers the scope, worldview and theoretical foundation depicting the logical path of the research study.

The methodology was described with the data collection method. Quantitative and qualitative questionnaire which consisted of closed questions with a choice of fixed answers and free text to enhance qualitative data were sent out in the form of mailshot, followed by telephone call to non-respondents and it was repeated for more wider sample results to gain more evidence to reduce bias (Parahoo, 2006).

In this chapter the results obtained from the analysis of data collected (previous chapter) are discussed in relation to the aims and objectives of the study. The study attempts to answer the following research questions:

This section will provide the rationale of the methods employed and highlight how the study will be performed. The study will examine the population with the sample size identified, data collection method and its analysis will be offered.

When conducting a study, it is impossible to collect data from the whole population, therefore it is important to select a representative sample because sampling makes it possible to select a representative for study and discover things that apply to many more people who are not studies (Maxfield & Babbie, 2012). The purpose of sampling is to generate a set of individuals or other entitles that give us a valid picture of all such individual or other entitles. It is important to generalise from a sample to unobserved population the sample in intended to represent. Therefore, when selecting a group of subjects for study, it is important to ensure that we represent some larger population.

This study will require Primary data and Secondary data. Data collection will be done by designing appropriate questionnaire and conducting semi structured interview.

Researchers need to select individuals who are part of the population for their studies. That is, from all possible people or organizations in the population, they select a sample for study from the population. A sample is a subgroup of the population that the researcher plans to study for generalizing about the population (Plano-Clark & Creswell,

This chapter includes the methodology and research design of the study. The chapter is organized in the following sections: (a) research design and design appropriateness;

This chapter discusses the methods used in the study. It consists of research design, data and data source, data collection and data analysis.

The contents of this chapter contains the research methodology of the project. As such, within this chapter the outline of the research strategy, the research method, the research approach, the data collection methods, sample selection, the form of data analysis, any ethical considerations and the research limitations are discussed.

Furthermore, the study design and methods are very much appropriate for the purposes of the study. The study’s set-up and methods allows the authors to address the aims set in the introduction, and they do so in the discussion and conclusion. In addition, the procedures are thoroughly detailed and allow for reproduction from academic readers. The procedures are listed to such a level that gives the study a strong level of

In this study, primary and secondary research will be both incorporated. The reason for this is to be able to provide adequate discussion for the readers that will help them understand more about the issue and the different variables that involve with it. The primary data for the study will be represented by the survey results that will be acquired from the respondents. On the other hand, the literature reviews to be presented in the second chapter of the study will represent the secondary data of the study. The secondary sources of data will come from published articles from books, journals and theses and related studies.

This chapter will outline the research design and methodology proposed to be followed. First, the overall research design will be justified. Next, the independent and dependent variables will be

The descriptive survey method of research was used in this study with the questionnaire as the main tool for gathering data.

This chapter discusses the background, objectives, significance of the study, scope and limitations, data gathering process and the research design and methodology.
