Summary of respondents For the purpose of the study, the questionnaire was prepared to collect some background information of the participants in this survey. It will help to identify the respondents and how the samples seem to be. But for the reason of anonymity, there is no comprehensive information about respondents. It is agreed to make the respondents information in anonymous throughout the study, and not used any other purpose, other than academic. To achieve that purpose the questionnaire was prepared to get some meaningful, hence collect very basic information of respondents background. To get the maximum, and quality data sample used the fresh graduates from ordinary level of schooling. Those respondents have high impact and a potential way to get the view for this survey. At the same time, the questionnaire was prepared in second most commonly used language (English) to communicate with school leavers and middle-aged people across the country. The information that was collected from participants very from, age, sex, educational qualification and the bank that they most frequently used to get services. These will illustrate whether the respondents are fitted into the survey. The total number of valid respondents are 180, there is no invalid or missing sample. Among the total 180 participants in the survey total number of male participants are 88, that covers 48.9% of the total. And 92 respondents are female and that is 51.1%.

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.
The research methods used were based on social research methods. (Walter, 2006). The methods used where a quantitative and qualitative research approach to gathered data and analyse the findings. In addition, using observation, conducting survey, an interview, past lectures and tutorials material, research and access of media guided this
The data collected from questionnaire and registration forms were computerized and processed using the calculation program excel. The results were in a descriptive manner with numbers and percentages. The questions with open reply were analyzed by theme analysis. The results obtained were extracts of statements presented by the district nurses (Friman, Klang & Ebbeskog, 2010). Three researchers were involved in data collection , all data collected were transcribed exactly same as it was in the questionnaire, read and categorized according to what appeared from the data, this helped in minimizing researcher bias.
The data was collected with certain procedures. Initially, comprehend the research topic and objective, secondly, sketch the interview question by following the guidelines provided on QUT Blackboard as framework of the research. Subsequently, record and conduct the interview with qualified respondent. Then transcribed the interview conservation and uploaded to the online survey system. Lastly, download three other transcripts from class database of interview transcript.
In general, there are several methods for data collection and the different data collection methods provided its own advantages and disadvantages (Sekaran 2003, p. 223). For carrying out the data collection, the appropriate methods should be applied. In the research, the data collection could be done through the interview, for example, face-to-face and telephone interview. To collect the data by using interview technique, the questionnaire is commonly employed as the instrument for gathering data, the questionnaire could be able to distribute by mail or electronic mail. In addition, the data collection could be conducted by observation of individuals with or without audio or video recording. Before choosing the methods for data collection the expertise of the researcher, the degree of accuracy required, time and resources must be taken into consideration. Thus,
The methodology of this study is qualitative in nature. Qualitative research is interpretive and descriptive and is appropriate in seeking to understand social phenomenon such as that examined in this present study.
The statistical methods employed in the survey include weighting responses, wherein household screening and interviewing were given response rates of 83.9 and 71.7, corresponding to each category. In calculating for the generalization towards national estimates, standard and sampling errors were utilized. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the behavior of the results obtained from the survey from previous years’ results, statistical significance of differences was employed through the use of Z-values with confidence level of 0.05.
The research process of interviews, observation and analysis took place between 3rd April and 12th April, for about nine days. Interview was taken face-to-face with all the individuals. Before having face to face interviews, two short survey questionnaire was asked to fill out by each of the individual of the team. This was a bit challenging part since it was essential that this questionnaire is completed at the same time, so that the findings obtained from each one of them is regarded as equal.
Survey research is the methodology used, as the researchers constructed a two-page written questionnaire, that assessed demographics and typical eating and exercise habits of the students (i.e. the unit of analysis), who were between the ages of 19 and 25. The dependent variable (DV) which is the results of the differences and similarities between lower and upper-level students is explained by the presence of the independent variable (IV), the eating habits and physical activity involvement of the

This study employed the survey research method, and used the technique of interviews to complement the questionnaires and review of documentary sources. The questionnaire was structured to a five point Likert scale, where strongly agree was assigned 1 point, agree was assigned 2 points, neutral was assigned 3 points, disagree 4 points and strongly disagree 5 points. Descriptive study design was adopted in conducting this research study. Descriptive research is the process of collecting data so as to test hypotheses or in order to answer questions regarding the current status of the variables or subjects in the study which is very useful as the respondents were given enough time to respond to the questionnaires without any interference whatsoever or manipulation (Williams, 2007; Ary et al., 2009). The descriptive study included survey and fact finding enquiries. This is the most preferred research technique as it provides a more generalized outcome of the study population. Thus this design was considered most useful for generalizing the research findings (Sindhu, 2012).
It shall be noted that no question has any missing entry and all elements were analyzed on equal parameter, the survey forms with missing entry were rejected at data screening stage. The maximum and minimum value of all questions lie between 1 to 5, 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest value. The mean of questions categorized the high resource people and low resource people
Longobardi et al. (2015) conducted a longitudinal study using self-reported questionnaires. An increase in closeness with teachers was found in 9th grade when compared with 8th grade. This resulted in good academic performance in the students’ which connotes that a good teacher- child relationship has a positive impact on the academic performance of the students’. The study concluded that a good teacher-student relationship plays a very important role in the academics and the behavior of students.
As qualitative research is applied in this thesis work, the author’s idea is to analyse each answer of the questionnaire in order to be able to answer research questions and get the final result of the study.
Among the respondent of this study, the majority were aged 26-35 years of age i.e 38%, 18-25 years were 31% and 36-45 years were also in same percentage i.e 31%.
