1. Experiment and Result Analysis
1.1. Data collection.
This one of the most essential section of project research. For one to be able to
carry out the experiments and results analysis effectively, selection of the most
appropriate sources of data is inevitable. Therefore, the first task I undertook was to
collect the data relevant to my research. These data were to be used later in my
experiments. To do that, I first identified the relevant data sources and from all
those sources, I picked the ones that seemed the most appropriate for my research.
After that I went on with the recording the data from those sources, in respective
tables for future references. I later stored all these records in my computer as it was
a safer method of storage (Polkinghorne, D., 2005, 137).
1.1.1. Data sources.
In order to ensure efficiency in my work, I found it important to gather as
much information as I could, regarding my research problem. I also made
sure to choose data sources that differed from each other in one way or the
other. That is, in choosing the source of data, I ensured that the people
involved for example, were from different places, different age sets, different
sex, different levels of education and of different life styles (Doan,
A.,2001,509-520).
1.1.2. Actual collection of data.
For ease in the process of data recording, I created a table that consisted of
all the fields that I intended to have information on (Duriau, V., 2007, 5-34).
The table is as shown below:
