Research And Analysis Of Secondary School Students

My concern in this essay is to briefly share my understandings about basic concepts of qualitative research that I gained from my readings on some books on qualitative research methods as well as from the class discussion with lecturer and colleagues on qualitative research course at the university. The basic concepts of qualitative research that

The order in which this thesis is organized is presented in this section. This thesis is divided into five main section: the first chapter as the Introduction; the second chapter as the Literature review; the third chapter as the Research Methodology; the fourth chapter as the Data Analysis and Recommendation; the fifth and last part as the Conclusion – all together amounting to five

In order to complete the study, research questions were developed with specific variables in order to determine the results

“Internet, mobility, and multimedia are important technology tools that are used in education industry” (Hameed 372).Although the internet is an important tool in the classroom and out, it does have downsides. Websites have become more commercialized, and this has made searching through websites difficult since not all websites are reliable. In the Journal done by Shihab Hameed he says that statistics show that teenagers use the internet more than adults, they use the internet to play games, listen to music and meet new people. Hameed also mentions that it reduces student activity. Students are able to get solutions to homework and as result

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

Both qualitative and quantitative data analysis approaches will be used in this research. Quantitative data analysis will be used to analyze the numerical data whereas qualitative data analysis will be used to analyze trends and relationships between the data and views of the participants obtained from the interviews and the questionnaires.

The questionnaire addresses the difficulty faced by teachers in classroom when using technology based on participant’s response; some teachers feel intimidated in using technology and would rather opt for a low tech than a higher tech to teach pupils. This can be said to be due to lack of training or knowledge can make teachers less confident to make technology a priority to teach. However, with 8% of respondents stating that technology is “Not at all significant”, it can only be assumed that the technologies are either incompatible with the pupil’s profile, or have been incorrectly

Qualitative analysis is very important when undergoing research as it provides theoretical and practical analysis and explanation. Depending on the topic or issue that is being studied the importance of how the qualitative research is conducted is critical for the results that will be used as inputs to support hypothesis or arguments in the research conducted. The following paper will discuss the data production and method, which will explain the different approaches to qualitative analysis that exist, their positive and negative aspects, which will clarify why the method chosen was the most appropriate. This is followed by a brief transcription of the interview conducted where the most relevant aspects are chosen. The questions asked will be provided in the annex attached at the end. Last, a reflection on research findings and process will be presented that will include a key summary of the themes found in the interview, and assessing the quality and success of the interview.

Researchers broadly consider two methodologies for their research, Quantitative and Qualitative methodologies. Quantitative research is based on the quantity of data, measurement of parameters, comparative calculations based on the numbers, countable incidences, in short quantitative methods collect data and analyse through quantified interpretations, where as in qualitative research preference is given to the real and actualities.

This chapter generally discusses the background studies, problem statement, objectives, scope of the study, output to be predicted and benefit of the research.

This assignment is based on research from data collected from the upper intermediate group of students. From the research completed with students, (appendices A) the majority are in the age group of 30 -40, with only a couple aged 18-20. They are a mixed ability group; some of the students are very fluent in English language, and very confident in practising their language skills, whereas others less so. Their interests are varied; however there are some common themes that they share as a group: many enjoy physical activity, going to the gym, participating in sports, and walking. There are also quite a few students with young children, who all enjoy spending time with their families.

The methodology of the research is qualitative hence secondary resources such books, reference materials, on line articles on BI, IT journals on PDF served as the basis of discussion. Five people were also interviewed to solicit their personal views

In Chapter 4 will be described the methodology which was used. In this chapter, we will explain the reasons for choosing this methodology and give more details about this study. We will explain and present the methods that help us in this project. An overview of the method that was used to collect the data will be given. Afterwards, the statistical concepts will be explained thoroughly.

The researcher adopts both quantitative and qualitative (mixed) research methodology so as to attain the objective of the study and answer the research question. Such data collection method is used in undertaking this study in order to gather data that could not be obtained by adopting only either quantitative or qualitative method and for triangulation. The research strategy engaged in the research was survey study and data were collected by using questionnaire and interview. SPSS was used to analyze the data.

This chapter presents the background to the study, the study problem, the purpose of the study, specific objectives, research questions, research hypothesis, significance of the study, scope of the study, delimitations, limitations, assumptions, theoretical framework and finally conceptual framework developed from the reviewed literature.
