The researchers role
The researchers will be responsible for writing and submitting the research proposal to the
relevant personnel. A questionnaire will be developed to be used as the main tool for gathering
the necessary data. The researchers will formulate the questionnaires based on information
collected from the literature review and the theoretical framework. The results from this
questionnaire will seek to attest or refute the hypothesis. The researchers will then collect,
analyse and disseminate the information gathered from the research findings. It will be ensured
that the data collected from the respondents will be kept confidential and stored anonymously in
a secure filing cabinet.
A pre-test of questions from the questionnaire will be used to measure data reliability and
validity. The researchers will randomly select respondents having the same characteristics of the
population being studied, to complete the pre-test. These respondents will not be included in the
study population. The researchers will seek to determine how well the questions are understood,
and the clearness of the instructions as well as the specific time needed to be allotted for
completion of the questionnaire.
