I. In gathering data to formulate ideas, the researchers utilized this research

instruments to provide information about the study.

 Interview

An interview is a one on one conversation with a target user in which

questions are generated to learn more about the target user's profile

(Example: likes, dislikes, hobbies) as well as questions relating to the

study's objectives. Because there will be more than simply questions and

responses, this strategy enables for a deeper understanding with the

target consumers and lets researchers generate ideas that will

complement with their statements.

 Document Analysis

Document analysis is a research method or instrument that refers to the

numerous activities involved in evaluating and interpreting data obtained from

the examination of relevant documents and records. Documentary work

entails reading through several related sources on a computer or phone,

which may include books pertinent to the research topic under tackled. This is

a paper that we can read and that pertains to some part of the social world.

Official documents are meant to be interpreted as objective declarations of

reality, yet they are socially created as well.

 Focus Group Discussion

A focus group discussion is an effective technique to bring together people

with relevant experience and discuss a specific topic of interest. The

discussion will allow all members to share their ideas and suggestions on
 the topic, which may be used to improve the study that will be agreed

upon after analysis.
