11. Perform a Pilot Study: the Senior Project is a Pilot Study & so no addition study will be required |
|
|||
|
|
12. Collect Data utilizing efficient,
effective & ethical methodological practices
as delineated in the Data Collection Strategy |
|
|||
|
|
The Research should be able to follow the Data Collection Strategy |
|
|||
|
|
However, if necessary adjustments can be made |
|
|||
|
|
In administering a Survey, if
1/3 to 2/3's of the respondents do not respond,
the researcher should evaluate the possibility of a biased sample |
|
|||
|
|
Of those who do respond, they
should be compared to the general sample
to see if they match major demographic qualities such as age, race, sex etc. |
|
|||
|
|
Then, it must be determined if
the questions dissuade some respondents from answering
based on their values, opinion, etc. |
|
|||
