EXPERIMENTAL Respondents are randomly selected.
Controlled Environment QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL Respondents are not randomly selected. Natural Environment INSTRUMENTS -are tools used to gather data for a particular research topic.
-Questionnaire is the most commonly used research
instrument DATA ANALYSIS -the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense, recap, and evaluate data. -Through data analysis, researchers identify meaningful and significant patterns in data. FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION -Research of this sort is almost invariably done face- to-face. Where eight or nine relevant people are brought together for an hour, or perhaps an hour and a half, to discuss something, where the respondents’ different views and experiences combine to create a unique and useful conversation.
