This is

Determinants of poverty INTRODUCTION Background to the study The translation of consumption into welfare units is a function of various physiological characteristics such as age and sex of recipient, and environmental factors ( The possession of assets is a measure of the socio-economic status of the household. According to the 2002 Uganda Population and Housing census main report, majority (79%) of the households owned the houses they lived in especially in rural areas with 86% compared to urban

Also, Figure 2 displays the link between perceived social pressure from family and time spent participating in aerobic exercise per week. The relationship between these two variables was very weak and insignificant, r(206)= .04, p=.558, as summarized in Table 1. The threshold significant p-value for data is p<.05. From our data, we can conclude that the weak correlation between social pressure from family and the amount of time spent on aerobic exercise is likely due to chance and is therefore

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 Introduction. This chapter presents the methodology used in carrying out the research. It describes the type and source of data, the study area, the target population, sampling methods and techniques used to select the sample size. The chapter also describes data collection and analysis techniques. 3.1Research Method There are two general methods in the social sciences: quantitative and qualitative research. Mouton and Marais (1990) define the differences between quantitative

Questions and Responses 1) Describe Platt’s methods of strong inference. How does this method guide research programmes in terms of accuracy of conclusions, efficiency of resources and utility of planning for future research? Platt’s methods of strong inference are post-positivism. He asserts that counter productivity can occur when a single theory is adhered to and attachment occurs. The single theory method lacks efficiency and can be subject to confirmation bias. Strong inference is the method

out their survey. The sampling method chosen for this study is probability sampling. Probability sampling is when the participants get an equal opportunity to be selected as a representative sample. This type of sampling was chosen because it was convenient and inexpensive for the researchers. The sample frame for this study is comprised of a random selection of 100 pregnant teenagers from Queens and 100 pregnant teenagers from the

Over the summer, I remember being nervous about going to Cal State LA. I had many fears. I feared I will pass none of my classes and make no friends. I am currently taking four non-challenging classes. I regret not taking more classes. I let my fears win. When I registered my classes for the fall on August 3rd, I feared taking more classes will be a load for me. Throughout my four months being in health and human service class, it helped me become a successful student. I followed and used many great

A convenience sample is made up of people who are easy to reach. The main types of probability sampling methods are simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, multistage sampling, and systematic random sampling. The key benefit of probability sampling methods is that they guarantee that the sample chosen is representative of the population. This ensures Simple random sampling. Simple random sampling

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study It is generally accepted in the world that pupil’s performance is directly influenced by the instructional materials applied. These instructional materials are the key ingredients in learning. Barnett (1992) comments that teachers should cover the materials in the curriculum and prepares pupils for standardized tests. This may have happened in western countries because of adequate resources. Nevertheless these instructional materials have not been

4.3 Sample Size and Nature 4.3.1 Sampling Method The sample was selected using non-probability sampling techniques. These techniques are deemed to be appropriate when deciding to use qualitative data where the population is not known (Saunders & Lewis, 2012). Purposive sampling and
