INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains the methods, techniques and instruments used in this research work. It also explains the method used in collecting and analyzing data. Items explained herein under include the research design, population of the study, sample size and sampling technique, administration of data collection instruments, procedures for processing collected data and a complete reference for all works consulted.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A researcher uses research design to serve as a scheme or a blueprint for data collection, and to help him know how the variables will be observed, controlled or manipulated to generate necessary primary data for the study (Asika, 2001:27).
This research work uses exploratory cross-sectional survey research design for the purpose of obtaining data to enable the researcher test the research hypotheses. This method explores the relationship between …show more content…
The t statistic can only be used when the number of sample pairs is equal to or greater than 10.
Otherwise only spearman rank order correlation is used (Asika, 2001:143).
Where: t=t statistic rs= Spearman rank order correlation n= Number of observations
√ = Square root
SUMMARY
In this chapter effort was made to explain the methodology adopted for the study. The chapter pointed out clearly the research design and the reasons for using such a design. Other things explained included the population of the study, sample size (and why in the opinion of the researcher the sample size is adequate to generalized findings), the sampling technique (and why such a technique is the most appropriate in this circumstance), administration of data collection instrument (and why the research instrument in question was used) and method used in analyzing collected
