Limitations of reducing crime in a school environment. There are always limitations to deter actions at school because the environment is meant to be a safe-haven for children and teens to go in and get a proper education. So, stepping up security in schools is not always possible because parents would not always support the advancement of security, due to risks with safety and the atmosphere where they would not want their children in. The focus of my qualitative research is to find if there is

Determinants of poverty INTRODUCTION Background to the study The translation of consumption into welfare units is a function of various physiological characteristics such as age and sex of recipient, and environmental factors ( The possession of assets is a measure of the socio-economic status of the household. According to the 2002 Uganda Population and Housing census main report, majority (79%) of the households owned the houses they lived in especially in rural areas with 86% compared to urban

Also, Figure 2 displays the link between perceived social pressure from family and time spent participating in aerobic exercise per week. The relationship between these two variables was very weak and insignificant, r(206)= .04, p=.558, as summarized in Table 1. The threshold significant p-value for data is p<.05. From our data, we can conclude that the weak correlation between social pressure from family and the amount of time spent on aerobic exercise is likely due to chance and is therefore

A study on Youths’ Attitude towards “e-gaming INTRODUCTION  Technology now days have brought man to an era of digital and advanced world of computers.  Not only are computers used in studies, research and work, it is now being used as part of leisure and entertainment.  Most of the youth today know how computers work and even an 8 year old child who is still yet to learn how to read and write knows how to operate a simple computer. This is

Critical Analysis of Nominated Literature: Lee-Chen Chen and his colleagues conducted a study on how music intervention or therapy lessens pre-radiotherapy anxiety in oncology patients through a fifteen-minute procedure. The purpose of the research was to examine the impact of music therapy and intervention on lessening pre-radiotherapy anxiety in these patients. The researchers carried out their study because of the tendency by oncology patients to react to radiation treatment with anxiety that

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 Introduction. This chapter presents the methodology used in carrying out the research. It describes the type and source of data, the study area, the target population, sampling methods and techniques used to select the sample size. The chapter also describes data collection and analysis techniques. 3.1Research Method There are two general methods in the social sciences: quantitative and qualitative research. Mouton and Marais (1990) define the differences between quantitative

Questions and Responses 1) Describe Platt’s methods of strong inference. How does this method guide research programmes in terms of accuracy of conclusions, efficiency of resources and utility of planning for future research? Platt’s methods of strong inference are post-positivism. He asserts that counter productivity can occur when a single theory is adhered to and attachment occurs. The single theory method lacks efficiency and can be subject to confirmation bias. Strong inference is the method

out their survey. The sampling method chosen for this study is probability sampling. Probability sampling is when the participants get an equal opportunity to be selected as a representative sample. This type of sampling was chosen because it was convenient and inexpensive for the researchers. The sample frame for this study is comprised of a random selection of 100 pregnant teenagers from Queens and 100 pregnant teenagers from the

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study It is generally accepted in the world that pupil’s performance is directly influenced by the instructional materials applied. These instructional materials are the key ingredients in learning. Barnett (1992) comments that teachers should cover the materials in the curriculum and prepares pupils for standardized tests. This may have happened in western countries because of adequate resources. Nevertheless these instructional materials have not been

A convenience sample is made up of people who are easy to reach. The main types of probability sampling methods are simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, multistage sampling, and systematic random sampling. The key benefit of probability sampling methods is that they guarantee that the sample chosen is representative of the population. This ensures Simple random sampling. Simple random sampling
