26.1 Introduction:
Biklen (2007) argues that the research methodology is a method or the steps, which the researcher proposes in order to conduct the research. This chapter will focus on research methodology which was used in the study and it will cover the research design, population and sampling techniques. The imperativeness of these research techniques was design to evaluates and analysis the available avenues. The research methodology will contain the following sub-topics such as research design which specifically deals with an evaluative study as the tool that a researcher used during the data collection phase, Population and sampling. This chapter will further include selection of site, description of participants. …show more content…
