The study design was described in this study. The investigator stated that it was a phenomenological, qualitative research design. The design was effective as it helped to understand the human as well as social problems. It also helped to investigate the experiences of individuals with certain phenomenon.
The instrumentation and methods were sufficiently explained. In relation to the purpose of this study, the investigator gathered the student participants’ perceptions using a semi-structured and open-ended interview. For a period of thirty minutes, every student was interviewed. During the half an hour interview, the observations and notes were recorded in a field log.

They were able to explain risk reversibility, severity and frequency where necessary. For instance, they stated the possible risks to be emotional or psychological risks. Subjects could suffer from nervousness or embarrassment. The risks were related to the discussion of how assistive device use could affect social experiences. Subjects were requested to rethink about any issue that may make them feel uncomfortable discussing it with a stranger. To minimize or avoid the above stated risks, the psychologist was requested to screen students who were not fit to be included in the research. Additionally, from the survey, a sample query was encompassed on the child assent and parental consent form. This gave the possible subjects as well as the parents a chance to decide if they could comfortably answer the kind of questions to be used in the interviews. To everyone who took part in this study, the school psychologist’s contact information was provided. In the process of data acquisition, participants were severally asked whether they felt uncomfortable. Anyone was free to decline the participation in case they felt
At the start of the study, at total of 150 students were identified as potential participants
According to the course syllabus we were introduced to the techniques of psychological research. This course was able to provide an understanding of how research is done, and what methods we can use to do so. By having a clear understanding of research and techniques used, it allows us to communicate effectively in regards to ideas behind the research process. In this paper, I will use myself as the case study to examine exactly what I learned about research.
Both qualitative and quantitative research methodology will be use to investigate the hypothesis. The use of case study, questionnaire, interview and statistical analysis will be used to observe and asks questions about the views of the micro, meso and macro levels of society on my topic. Problems that could occur with these methodology is not having enough adequate data to proceed the with each analysis. Secondary research will be used to make subjective judgments about what data is useful and what is not for the motive for the research process.
For the purpose of this study, the researcher intends to use a cross-sectional research design where all the data will be collected at the same time. The distribution of the research questionnaires will take place over a time period of two weeks where the main data will be collected from the respondents.
Internal validity of this study included data collection process and student personal interest in education. For example, students may have scored in exam because they concern about their own education. Reliability of this study instrument has not been tested. This is the first time this group will have this survey. There is no former survey to use as a standard to see if there are many changes.

This paper will compare and contrast qualitative and quantitative research designs. While giving the information, I will also elaborate on the types of research designs that they both implore. At the end of the paper, the reader will have a better understanding for qualitative and quantitative research designs and when to use each type of design.

Research methodology is a way how the research is conducted step by step and in order. There are two methods used for data collection which is the primary data and secondary data. These data can be obtained and used many ways. The data is taken and analyzed in advance to produce a result that we can use for research and future reference. This study will relate to the objective we want to achieve and finding the answer to every objective we seek. In order to successfully achieve the objectives we seek, we must know
Qualitative and Quantitative study designs both can be beneficial in research design. They both provide valuable options for researchers in the field. These techniques can either be used separately in a research study or they can be combined to achieve maximum information. This paper will define the terms qualitative and quantitative; describe the similarities and differences between each; discuss how qualitative and/or quantitative research designs or techniques could be used in the evaluation of my proposed research; and discuss why linking analysis to study design is important.
Qualitative research is the technique that is used as a part of exploratory research and to derive the independent variables. There are different methods through which we can conduct the qualitative research. As a part of this study we have adopted the following methods:
This research work was properly carried out with the following reasons in mind as the purpose for the study.
