3.9. Data analysis
The researcher employed both quantitative and qualitative
analysis. For the quantitative analysis, data collected were expressed in
different tables. Qualitative analysis was used at the time when dealing with
non-quantitative responses.
3.10. Hypothesis testing
The researcher used his research skills and knowledge to draw
conclusions in relation to the research hypotheses. This was based on research
findings.
3.11. Limitations of the study
During the period of investigation, some individuals were
reluctant to answer the questions from the questionnaire of investigation but
the researcher insisted and was sometimes obliged to give more explanations.
Technicality of the subject under study was yet another
limitation to the researcher. Technical terms used in the questionnaire were
not easily understandable not because they were poorly phrased but because
respondents were not familiar to them.
The complexity of the sample and the remarkable hard work of
the researcher caused a high controversy. After data collection and analysis,
some individuals from teaching staff at NUR who were used to analyse simple
research studies with very small sample size, showed scepticism towards the
researcher. It was really a limitation on the side of the researcher that
claimed most of his efforts not leaving financial resources.
