The Ideal Data Collection Strategy For Our Analysis

This study is descriptive in nature where the data is collected through well structured questionnaire and from the information taken from the customers.

In order to provide the Australia Park Victoria with the appropriate data to solve its current crisis, the most appropriate method of data collection for this research is the qualitative method. According to Gay and Airasian (p 627) qualitative method is the collection of extensive data on various variables over a long time in a natural setting with an aim of acquiring insights not possible using other methods. It involves three different kinds of information collection: direct observation, in depth and open-ended interviews and written documents. Qualitative method involves use of random sampling and structured data collection instruments that fit different experiences. The method also enables the researcher to study the specific area of

To assist in the development of the ability to identify suitable resource material and to facilitate a disposition for independent research.

The procedure of conducting this report will involve interviews with the client, observation, and questioners. “The experience that individuals have with a company and then what they hear from friends and family influence their perception of and likelihood to do business with a company” (Yahalom). Interview customers to gauge their satisfaction help companies’ measure satisfaction, identify unhappy customers and find potential supporters. In task two we will observe the reaction of the client to determine area of service that needs improvement. When they are receiving or have already received the services..On task three we will collect data on costs that are needed to implement suggestion of the customer found from the survey.

The behavior was observed from a large sample of people. This included twenty people shopping alone and twenty people shopping in a group, for a total of forty subjects, each ranging in ages from approximately 19 to 40 years old. The subjects were observed from the time they entered the store until the time they left. The reasoning behind this was to see the buying behavior differences for the whole experience and figure out which areas of the store could be improved in order to appeal to groups of people shopping. The behaviors observed included the amount of time spent inside the store, the amount of money spent, the interactions with associates, and the areas of the stores that were navigated.

How has the company chosen to improve its knowledge of customers and therefore its decision making? Analyze the management, organization, and technology dimensions of the solution.

To provide the best possible service, it was very important to understand the client’s requirements and the purpose of the consultancy project; acquiring that knowledge, helped us create a product that satisfied their every need, in every stage of the job. To obtain this kind of information and create an adequate training program, there are different kinds of exploratory research that can be done. Personal Interviews with key individuals in the process, focus groups with participants and Evaluation Interviews can create huge improvements in the service provided.

There are a few ways, techniques used to gather data in sociology. For this study, we are utilizing techniques of observation, this was done by going out somewhere, like a mall, and watching what the people around you are doing and the activities that are taking place. My observations took place at the Steeplegate Mall in Concord New Hampshire on a Friday in mid-April around four o’clock. I was shocked by what I saw, the mall was no longer as active as it was when I use to go while I was in middle and high school.

The research methodology that was used is a descriptive research format. First twenty-five scholarly sources were read, analysed, and annotated. Then, an interviewed was conducted with Dr. Eileen Appelbaum, who is an expert on paid family and medical leave policies in the United States. The main data collection method was through meta-analysis. Four scholarly journals were reviewed and analysed in order to come to synthesizing conclusions that support the thesis. The interview with Dr. Appelbaum allowed for a deeper understand how paid leave is implemented at the state level, the meta-analysis of the journals enabled the researcher to draw conclusions from the research and conclusions of other related studies.

According to (Swanson, 2005), qualitative research demands a lot from the researcher, it would also be important for the researcher to acknowledge the words studied in the analysis are influenced by ourselves. This would be the case since the researcher is using surveys to conduct the research. The independent variable in the case of this research would be the affordable housing programs because the researcher wants to determine if there is enough housing and are there changes. The dependent variable would be the behavioral changes that would take affect if people were able to successfully gain housing and be able sustain themselves. The results would be better health, maintaining employment and children doing better in schools.

The research topic has been selected, the testable research question is developed, research on the topic has been found, a literature review is completed, and a decision has been made on the research design. Now, one of the most important steps in the research process needs to be accomplished and that is the collection of data. Notwithstanding the research project and whether the method of research is whether qualitative or quantitative, data must be collected. Data collection is essential whether the method of choice is a mail survey, a telephone survey, an interview, an experiment, field research, or secondary data analysis. Data collection is an important aspect of any type of research study. Inaccurate data can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. During the data collection step, a significant amount of time, energy and attention is required. In order to ensure the data collection process is valid and successful, one should adhere to the four steps involved: (1) the construction of a data collection form which is used to organize all data that is collected; (2) the designation of the coding strategy used to represent data on a data collection form; (3) the collection of the actual data; and (4) entry into the data collection form (Salkind, 2012).

Collecting primary data can be as challenging as a researcher allows it to be. “Most methods of data collection can be used across studies that are classified as qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods. As a matter of fact, the way a specific method is employed for data collection determines the classification of a study to a large extent” (Kumar, 2014, Page 170). The primary data that is collected should be data that a person not only understands, but data that they can clearly analyze. Given the option, the non-experimental methodology seemed to be most comfortable. Lamentations 3:40 states, “Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord” (KJV). The qualitative method was chosen as the type of data that would be researched. It is important that while collecting data for a research paper, the researcher knows the type of data in which their research paper will consist of. “Qualitative study designs are not as specific, precise and well defined as designs in qualitative research. Also, there is degree or overlap between study designs and methods of data collection. Some of the commonly used designs in qualitative research are: case study design, oral history, focus group studies, participant observation, commonly discussion forums and the reflective journal log” (Kumar, 2014, Page 161). While the researcher is in the process of collecting their primary data, they should know the type of data they are searching for, personally observe the data

Data collection will be a combination of qualitative and quantitative. It is important to use a combination of both because it will provide more information about application of the study and how future research should be conducted. Before the semester meeting with professors of the ALI program at UMKC to seek permission to begin the study is vital. Meeting early on also begins to form strong communication which is necessary to ensure that assignments and ways of incorporating Facebook in the classroom are different from previous studies. There will be one introductory session with each of the four courses composed of 30 or so students, collectively there will be about 120 students involved in this study. Students will not be informed on the purpose of the study, only that their progress in English will be tracked. Information will be collection from the students that wish to participate such as demographic and contact information, as well as how comfortable they feel with their English. The rest of the surveys throughout the course of the semester will be sent via email. Professors will be making notes of progress or possible problems and at the end of the study they will share how Facebook impacted ELLs’ motivation to learn English, if it did at all.

This research study would use paper and pencil method, an achievement test. The participants would be taking a progress monitoring test. This type of method is appropriate for the study because it gives accurate data about student’s abilities before the start of the research study. It is also used at the end of the study for the scores can be compared between each class and initial scores.

The present study has utilized review technique for gathering the essential information by specifically talking with clients with survey
