Week 10 : Instrument


The instrument is a tools that used for measuring, obtaining and analyse the data fro, the subject around the used tool related the topic of the study. We  have to decide on what instrument we want to use based on the research that we are going to study include quantitative, qualitative and the mixed-method. For instance, for quantitative, we may need to decide to use the questionnaire while the qualitative we might choose to use the interview. 

As my study is related to knowledge and attitude related to occupational safety and health, I am decided to adopt the questionnaire from previous study. Thus, i have tried to contact several of the researchers that related to the topic to ask for their permission in adopting their questionnaire.  I also got the replied from a researcher and was given a permission to use the questionnaire. After did a speed reviewed, i can see that all sections include 15 questions for each sections. And i think, i might need to do a little bit customization in standardize the likert scale to be used in analyse the data.  

The data collection is roughly plan as below:-
1. Sent a proper letter for asking permission to distribute the questionnaire to the school.
2. After get the approval, set the appointment with the principal
3. Distribute the questionnaire to the teacher.
