The writer of “Research Design” John W.

•
Philosophical Assumptions: I will use pragmatism approach and sequential procedures will be employed, I will personally conduct the surveys for datacollection. The study is deductive in approach as many other studies are availableon this topic but in Pakistani context there are many few studies.
•
Strategies of Inquiry: The sequential procedures will use the qualitative method infirst phase by conducting the semi-structured interviews and in second phase Iwill use the questionnaire.
•
Data Collection: Data will be collected from the school children and I will personally visit the research place to collect the data.The assumptions of John W. Creswell are very much related with the ideas of Crotty(1998) who suggest the four questions for the preparation of framework. That are written below.
