Question 1
Conduct a survey based on one of the topics below and draft a research
report. You are required to collect, organise, and analyse the data and
summarise your findings.
The topics are as follows:
The age of the Grade 6 (Intermediate Phase) learners
Home language of intermediate teachers
Follow the steps below:
STEP 1: COLLECTING AND ORGANISING DATA
1. Title for the Research Project
"Examining the Diversity of Home Languages among Intermediate Phase Teachers
2. Main Research Question:
What are the main home languages spoken by intermediate phase teachers?
3. Source(s) of Data:
The data will be gathered from intermediate phase teachers employed at different
schools
4. Population of the Study:
The study's population includes all intermediate phase (Grade 4-6) teachers within a
specific school district.
5. Sample vs. Population:
The study's sample will include 20-25 intermediate phase teachers chosen from
schools within the district. This sample represents a subset of the broader population
of all intermediate phase teachers in the district.
6. Data Collection Instrument:
, I will use a structured questionnaire administered to the teachers for data collection,
7. Nature of Data:
For the topic "Home language of intermediate teachers," the data collected will be
quantitative. It is considered categorical because it denotes different home language
categories. The data will be neither discrete nor continuous, as it represents categories
rather than numerical values.
8. Scale of Measurement:
The "home language" variable is measured on a nominal scale. This scale categorizes
the data into distinct groups without any inherent order or ranking.
9. Survey Questions:
1. What is your home language?
2. Do you speak any other languages? If yes, please specify.
10. Data Collection:
(Example: A copy of a completed survey)
11. Frequency Table with Tally Marks:
