RESEARCH DESIGN:
A research design is the set of methods and procedures used in collecting and analysing measures of
the variables specified in the research problem. The design of a study defines the study type
(descriptive, correlation, semi - experimental, experimental) and sub type. Hypothesis independent
and dependent variables , design of experimental design and if applicable , data collection methods,
and a statistical analysis plan. Research design is the framework that has been created to find
answers to research questions.
SOURCES OF DATA
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research plan
chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the study, first of all
the sources of data must be very clear.
The primary data are those, which are collected fresh for the first time for the problem solution, and
thus happen to be original in character, it may be obtained from individual, families and
representative.
Secondary Data Source
The secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else and which have to
decide which have already been passed through the statistical process. Externally, these sources
may include books or periodicals reports, data services and computer data banks. In the context of
the project study, the source of data used by me for this project is primary type of source. The
primary data source is the respondents who have filled the questionnair
Sampling plan
Sampling unit – The sampling unit is the entity to which we have to follow during the whole research
study. In the context of the project study, the sampling unit primarily consist of individuals. Sampling
size – It plays an important role in the research. Samples are representatives of the whole
population. This refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute a
sample. In the context of the project study, 100 respondents are chosen keeping in view the above
constraints. Attempts have been made to see that samples are chosen from different strata.
Sampling method - There are various methods of sampling in the context of my project study I have
selected non probability sampling method. And under that, I have taken convenience sampling.
Under this I prepared a simple questionnaire to collect the information.
Data collection method is done basically in three ways: Observation method, survey method , and
questionnaire. And in the context of my project study, I have selected questionnaire method to
collect the data.
Data analysis is based on the data collected by the questionnaire. From the collected data findings
are extracted. The data is tabulated and frequency distribution chart is prepared.
Charts make easy to understand. Therefore I have used pie chart to present the data.
