CHAPTER 4 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD 4.1 …
85 CHAPTER 4 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD INTRODUCTION This CHAPTER presents and discusses the RESEARCH methodology adopted. It also describes the RESEARCH DESIGN , RESEARCH process, METHOD of data collection, METHOD of data analysis, and the application of the data analysis. This CHAPTER also addresses the objectives of the study that were achieved through a pilot study followed by the main study, which comprises four (4) phases. RESEARCH DESIGN RESEARCH can be described as a systematic and organized effort to investigate a specific problem to provide a solution (Sekaran; 2000; Burn, 1994). Consequently, its output is to add new knowledge, develop theories as well as gathering evidence to prove generalizations (Sekaran, 2000). Furthermore, Bulmer (1997) defined sociological RESEARCH as a primary commitment to establish systematic, reliable and valid knowledge about the social world. However, Kerlinger (1986) states that a scientific RESEARCH is a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of propositions about the presumed relationships between various phenomena.
A traditional research design is a blueprint or detailed plan of how a research study is to be completed; operating variables for measurement, selecting a sample, collecting data and analysing the results of interest to the study, and testing the hypotheses (Thyer, 1993).
